Harvard Square

Whenever Shri Nathji would go for a walk at Harvard Square, cars would stop in the streets as curious passers-by tried to get a glimpse of him. Shri Nathji would be dressed in his silk, golden orange turban, a white achkan, white chooridars and black shoes and be resplendent with a divine radiance on his face that outshone the lights of the city. That one little glimpse from their car windows would be all that the denizens of the city would get of God at Harvard Square.

 Priya Nath purchased an expensive pair of shoes for Shri Nathji from the Harvard Coop–a large department store at Harvard Square. (The photograph of the store is on the right) Shri Nathji would never tire of speaking about these shoes even years after they had been stolen at a Gurudwara in London. Shri Nathji would say:

"Priya Nathji purchased such an expensive pair of shoes for me and bought a cheap pair for himself!"

 Harvard Square (Photograph bellow) is a large triangular area in the center of Cambridge, Massachusetts, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue, Brattle Street, and John F. Kennedy Street. It is the historic center of Cambridge.  Adjacent to Harvard Yard, the historic heart of Harvard University, the Square as it is sometimes called locally, functions as a commercial center for Harvard students, as well as residents of western Cambridge and the inner western and northern suburbs of Boston.
