The Hare Krishna Movement
Dancing and chanting with their shaven heads and saffron robes, Hare Krishnas presented the most visible face of any of the eastern religions transplanted to the West during the sixties and seventies. Yet few people know much about them. This comprehensive study includes more than twenty contributions from members, ex-members, and academics who have followed the Hare Krishna movement for years. Since the death of its founder, the movement, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), has experienced debates over the roles of authority, heresy, and dissent, which have led to the development of several splinter movements. There is a growing women's rights movement and a highly publicized child abuse scandal. Providing a privileged look at the people and issues shaping ISKCON, this volume also offers insight into the complex factors surrounding the emergence of religious traditions, including early Christianity, as well as a glimpse of the original seeds and the germinating stages of a religious tradition putting down roots in foreign soil.
Great Bharata (Volume I)
In this thrilling retelling of the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Maha-bharata, Harvard scholar Howard Resnick brings to life the grand and mystical story of heroine Satya-vati. From a humble fishing village, Satya-vati's journey soon leads to great adventure, marrying a prince, and playing a leading role in rescuing the planet. Great Bharata is a multi-volume epic spiritual fantasy that recounts stories from the ancient Sanskrit epic, the Maha-bharata. The Maha-bharata is an ancient and extraordinary text that claims to tell the immemorial history of South Asia, the Earth, and the entire universe. In this way, the text weaves together the earthly, cosmic, and spiritual in its epic narrative. The first volume in the series, Great Bharata: The Invasion Begins, focuses on the life of the character, Satya-vati, a young female protagonist who goes on a great adventure. As her life journey unfolds, Satya-vati will encounter challenges, romance, grand revelations, and play a critical role in the onset of the Kurukshetra war.

The Cosmology of the Bhāgavata Purāṇa
From the flat earth to the sun`s chariot traditional spiritual texts seem wedded to outmoded cosmologies that show, at best, the scientific limitations of their authors. The Bhagavata Purana, one of the classical scriptures of Hinduism, seems, at first glance, to be no exception. However, a closer examination of this text reveals unexpected depths of knowledge in ancient cosmology. This shows that the cosmology of the Bhagavata Purana is a sophisticated system, with multiple levels of meaning that encode at least four different astronomical, geographical, and spiritual world models. By viewing the text in the light of modern astronomy, Richard Thompson shows how ancient scientists expressed ...
