Summary

Known to most by their shaven heads, saffron robes, and street chanting and dancing, the Hare Krishna devotees belong to one of the most controversial and leas understood religious movements to have appeared in recent years. Recorded here are the lively, revealing and highly instructive dialogues between an articulate member of the Krishna movement and five eminent scholars in the field of religion. Each scholar offers his own distinctive view and analysis of the Krishna movement and the ancient tradition it embodies. Together, these dialogues shed much light on relevant historical, sociological, psychological, and theological issues surrounding the movement. The book will be of significant interest not only to observers of the contemporary religious scene, but also to those concerned with the spiritual quest of modern man. -- From publisher's description.
