Product Description

Synopsis

Servant of the Lotus Feet: A Hare Krishna Odyssey is the true story of an adolescent's quest for spiritual meaning. Enchanted by the wisdom of the Orient, Sidd drops out of his freshman year of college in the early 1980's to join the Hare Krishnas while visiting Boston. During the course of four years in New England and New York City, Sidd struggles as a fund-raiser for the cult. As an initiated Brahman priest, he gains privilege and responsibility. Sidd's innocent question posed to the spiritual master in a room of hundreds of curious guests and devoted followers shakes the foundations of the temple walls, engaging the "holy man's" wrath. Disillusioned by the contradictions and deceits perpetrated by the elders of the Indian religious cult, including his and other allegedly "pure" spiritual masters, Sidd gradually backs out of the movement. While visiting his family for a holiday reunion, Sidd is abducted and compelled to review the facts about the religious cult he had embraced.

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, 2 Jun 2005
By A Customer
The author describes very well his 4-year experience of living as a devotee in various Hare Krishna temples in the USA. He gives plenty of detail on the day-to-day life - the religious rituals, the fund-raising, the underlying philosophy etc, but it manages to remain an easy and entertaining read. The writing is a little sketchy in places, especially at the start of the book, but all-in-all it's a very interesting and memorable book. Recommended.
