Krishna

The Krishna (also known as Hare Krishna) is a gang in Grand Theft Auto 2 wich name derives from Hinduism. They are featured as pedestrians in the original Grand Theft Auto and then become a gang that Claude Speed can take missions from in Grand Theft Auto 2. Krishna's leader, Sunbeam, is Claude's first contact in the Industrial District. The Krishna are at war with The Zaibatsu Corporation and the Russian Mafia. The Krishna's status is unknown during the end of GTA 2, though it is believed that they were slaughtered in the Vedic temple.

In GTA 1 the player received a 'GOURANGA' bonus for running over an entire procession of Hare Krishna.
