March 27, 2026: Henry speaks with WWVA Radio’s Morning Talk Show hosts Sam and Otis about his life as a devotee at the Marshall County New Vrindaban Hare Krishna Community. During the daily show, Bloomdaddy Sam & Otis discuss Ohio Valley stories, topics and events, plus sports, regional and national news. The show is broadcast from the historic Capitol Music Hall in Wheeling West Virginia.

Some questions Sam asked Henry were:

• For those not familiar can you explain the Hare Krishna faith?

• What was appealing to you join in 1978?

• Had you heard of the Krishnas before you found yourself in WV?

• What was your Krishna name? And did Swami Bhaktipada give you the name?

• What was a day like....seems when reading and watching things, it was more like slave labor?

• Did you have direct contact with Bhaktipada? What was he like?
