Seeing Krishna in America - The Hindu Bhakti Tradition of Vallabhacharya in India and Its Movement to the West (Paperback)

Seeing Krishna in America describes the Hindu sect, the Vallabha Sampradaya, in India and its movement to the United States. Founded in the fifteenth century by a devotional saint, Vallabhacharya, the tradition worships a variety of forms of Krishna as a seven year old child. Following U.S. immigration reforms in 1965, members of the sect established a spiritual headquarters for the faith in Pennsylvania and began to construct temples in a number of states. Since then, the growth has continued as this 500 year old faith becomes an American religion.
