A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup?da (1896-1977), founder of the
Hare Krishna Movement, traced his lineage to the fifteenth-century
Indian saint Sri Chaitanya. He authored more than fifty volumes of
English translation and commentaries on Sanskrit and Bengali texts,
serving as a medium between these distant authorities and his
modern Western readership and using his writings as blueprints for
spiritual change and a revolution in consciousness. He had to speak
the language of a people vastly disparate from the original
recipients of his tradition's scriptures without compromising
fidelity to the tradition.
Tamal Krishna Goswami claims that the social scientific,
philosophical, and 'insider' forms of investigation previously
applied have failed to explain the presence of a powerful
interpretative device-a mahavakya or 'great utterance'-that governs
and pervades Prabhupada's 'living theology' of devotion on bhakti.
For Prabhupada, the wide range of 'vedic' subject matter is
governed by the axiomatic truth: Krishna is the Supreme Personality
of Godhead.
Goswami's academic training at the University of Cambridge, his
thirty years' experience as a practitioner and teacher, and his
extensive interactions with Prabhupada as both personal secretary
and managerial representative, afforded him a unique opportunity to
understand and illuminate the theological contribution of
Prabhupada. In this work, Goswami proves that the voice of the
scholar-practitioner can be intimately connected with his tradition
while sustaining a mature critical stance relative to his subject.
A Living Theology of Krishna Bhakti includes a critical
introduction and conclusion by Graham M. Schweig.
