"The Hare Krishna Movement" is popularly associated with groups of
chanting, saffron-robed followers, whose colourful appearance on
the streets of western cities became increasingly commonplace after
the Movement's emergence in 1965. But there is much more to the
Krishna phenomenon than simply its bands of singing and dancing
adherents. This groundbreaking book focuses for the first time on
what is currently taking place inside the Hare Krishna Movement,
and examines the changes and developments that have shaped it over
the past forty years. The essays offer an unparalleled overview of
the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), and
explore a wide range of topical issues and themes. These include:
the politics and history of the Movement; membership patterns;
recruitment strategies; pedagogical and social factors; the
importance of dreams and ritual; and ISKCON's articulation of
traditional theology in the context of the Movement's evolution.
The result is a book that will be essential reading for scholars
and students of religion in the modern world, and which explains in
full how this fascinating Hindu devotional tradition continues to
flourish in the land of its origin - India - as well as in the
West.
