Produktbeschreibung
The founder of the Hare Krishna movement (or International Society for Krishna Consciousness / ISKCON) was the Indian guru, Swami Bhaktivedanta, who during the last years of his life brought a Hindu denomination to the West. He represented the Bengali (Gaudiya) school of Vaisnavism-devotion to Vishnu and Krishna-which he molded somewhat to the times when he arrived in New York in the 1960s. Since then, ISKCON has evolved along more conventional-by Western standards-denominational lines with a largely middle-class, lay membership.

When Bhaktivedanta arrived in America, it was a bold step because historically a guru who ventured outside of India was stripped of his Brahman status. However, the effort bore fruit-not the least of which was the type of intercultural understanding promoted by the current authors through their study of ISKCON's place within the religion and culture of India.
