Discover the man behind the movement in this intimate biography of
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International
Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). In 1965, a
seventy-year-old man--soon to be known as Prabhupada--set sail from
India to America with a few books in his bag, pennies in his
pockets, and a message of love in his heart. He landed in New York
at the peak of the revolutionary counterculture movement of the
'60s, and went on to spark a global spiritual renaissance that led
to the creation of the International Society for Krishna
Consciousness, which has changed millions of lives. Through the
depiction of Prabhupada as both an enlightened luminary and a
personable, funny, and conscientious individual, Swami in a Strange
Land shows why cultural icons such as George Harrison and Allen
Ginsberg incorporated Prabhupada's teachings into their lives, and
why millions more around the globe embarked upon the path of bhakti
yoga in his footsteps. Carefully researched, skillfully crafted,
and extraordinarily intimate, this narrative follows Prabhupada as
he rises from an anonymous monk to a world-renowned spiritual
leader. Set in locations as far ranging as remote Himalayan caves
and the gilded corridors of Paris's City Hall, Swami in a Strange
Land traces the rise of Eastern spirituality in the West--and in
particular, the rise of yoga culture and vegetarianism and the
concepts of karma and reincarnation. A remarkable journey into the
deepest dimensions of the human experience, Swami in a Strange Land
shows how one man with a dream can change the world.
