Harry and the Krishnas was perhaps the first Hardcore Hare Krishna Rap Band. Their rise to fame was meteoric and stellar. The reasons for their demise are potentially many. What was the true meaning of the band? What did they really think? Were they hardcore rappers, or hardcore Krishnas? Both? Neither? What are the band members doing today? Read on, and you too shall be enlightened. 
Upon reaching the 37th stage of enlightenment, Hare Davena realized that he still had some anger haunting him from an outbreak of the plague 18 lifetimes ago while living as serf in Tibet. He knew that he was never going to get past this phase of thinking and make the all-important 38th stage of enlightenment without transcending his anger through the use of rap music. He rounded up a few of his similarly violent-minded Hare Homies and founded the band. Its composition was

Hare Davena--widely regarded as the band's spiritual leader but a metaphysical lightweight. The only member of the band not to have a cool nickname. Currently holding auditions for a Hardcore Stripper Rap Group.
L. Mulligatawny Vindaloo--widely regarded to be the most out there of the Krishnas, Vindaloo is at least six levels of enlightenment beyond the next closest member of the Hairies. Currently shooting for Level 45.
Tastyee Papad--widely regarded to be the thinker of the group and its premier lyricist. Retired with his concubine.
Moshe Weineritz--widely regarded to be the most Jewish member of the group. Was brought on board to bring a sense of rhythym to the band and to appeal to the rapidly growing Orthodox Hare Krishna populations. Currently working the wall with an M-16 and tambourine at Ben Guiron Airport, Tel Aviv.
Hare Chrishna--widely regarded to have hogged the mike by his fellow bandmates, Chrishna was a separate but equal member of the Hairies. Took his act on with a new band, Harries II Men, which tries to appeal to a wider audience.
Tanja DobbelDee--widely regarded to be the silent member of the band, was kicked out for not being obnoxious enough in the airport. Currently "working" in Amsterdam.
RosenBlu --widely regarded to be the most unknown member of the band to almost all the rest of its members, RosenBlu would emerge from seclusion only to lay down some monstrous bass during live performances. Whereabouts are unknown.


There are many reasons that the band has broken up, leaving millions of fans screaming for more. Why would they do it? We can only guess. Several dozen sites have sprung up on the internet to discuss the matter. The rumors have been compiled here, in order of what we feel is most likely to least likely:

1. There was a rift in the band between members who wanted to remain hardcore to Krishna principles and those who sought a wider audience.
2. Weineritz and Vindaloo got in an argument of who deserved to deny themselves of more royalty money.
3. After living together for a combined total of 547 lifetimes, the band was more of a strain than the friends could handle.
4. Tanja DobbelDee may have been exerting a Yoko Ono-like influence over one of the members of the band.
5. The band didn't feel that the rhythym was right on RosenBlu's beat for their new hit single "Set Myself on Fire".
6. There were concerns of plagarism from Frank Zappa's, "He Used to Cut the Grass" and XTC's "Dear God". Why this should be a concernt to rap musicians, who are essentially talentless thieves anyway, is completely beyond us.
7. The Seinfeld Effect: Get out while the getting is good, and besides, now that Seinfeld is off the air, Lives just aren't worth living.
