More About the Author
Product Description
Review
...an essential review and timely update on the growing and maturing phenomenon of worldwide Krishna-devotionalism. For storytracking the Hare Krishna movement as an important focal point in today's increasingly varied landscape of spiritual practices and aspirations, this collection is a welcome resource. --Kenneth Valpey (Krishna Ksetra das), Research Fellow, Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies
This is a fascinating and insightful collection that will prove to be of great interest to students of the Hare Krishna movement and of new religious movements generally. The contributors include both Hare Krishna scholars as well as established academics from the field of religious studies. The volume's real strength derives from its focus on change and on how the Hare Krishna movement has increasingly sought to come to grips with the modern world whilst retaining its distinctive self-identity. Taken as a whole, the book reveals a whole new intellectual landscape and puts a refreshing new perspective on our understanding the Hare Krishna phenomenon --E. Burke Rochford, Jr, Professor of Sociology and Religion, Middlebury College
