Becoming Vaishnava in an Ideal Vedic City centers on a growing
multinational community of ISKCON (International Society for
Krishna Consciousness) devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal. While
ISKCON's history is often presented in terms of an Indian guru
'transplanting' Indian spirituality to the West, this book focusses
on the efforts to bring ISKCON back to India. Paying particular
attention to devotees' failure to consistently live up to ISKCON's
ideals and the ongoing struggle to realize the utopian vision of an
'ideal Vedic city', this book argues that the anthropology of
ethics must account for how moral systems accommodate the problem
of moral failure.
