HYDERABAD, March 24. 

Sri Bhakti Vedanta Prabhupada, founder Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, to-day laid the foundation-stone here for a multi-storeyed building to house the institutions of the Soviely, including Radha-Krishna temple. 

The building will be constructed on land donated by Mr. G. Pulla Reddy, on the Station Road near Abids Circle.

Swami Prabhupada, addressing the gathering in English and Hindi, said Krishna consciousness would help people to attain salvation. 

The Swamiji performed 'puja' to the marble idols of Radha and Krishna which would be installed in the temple. 

He initiated four of his disciples into the movement, one of whom, a Parsi from Bombay, took 'sanyas'. -FOC.
