This is the first intellectual history of political Hinduism from
its medieval origins to current-day India. It provides the
ideological context of India’s rise economically and politically
in the world in the last decade, illustrating not only where
political Hinduism comes from, but more importantly, where it seeks
to go. It provides an intellectual framework not only to understand
the rise of Narendra Modi and his politics in the world’s largest
democracy, but also India’s political, economic, and diplomatic
choices as it negotiates its space as a rapidly rising,
billion-strong democracy in a fluid and precarious world order.
The authorized biography of the Hare Krishna movement's founder.
When A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada entered the port of
New York City on September 17, 1965, few Americans took
notice—but he was not merely another immigrant. He was on a
mission to introduce ancient teachings of Vedic India to mainstream
America. Before Srila Prabhupada passed away at the age of
eighty-one on November 14, 1977, his mission was successful. He had
founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness
(ISKCON), colloquially known as the ‘Hare Krishna Movement,’
and saw it grow into a worldwide confederation of more than 100
temples, ashrams, and cultural centers. This is the inspirational
story of Srila Prabhupada. As the founder of ISKCON, he ’emerged
as a major figure of Western counterculture, initiating thousands
of young Americans.’ He has been described as a charismatic
leader who was successful in acquiring followers in many countries,
including the United States, Europe, and India. Srila
Prabhupada’s story is bound to put you on a path of
self-realization.
