Bhakti-Yoga and the Hare Krishna By Steven Rosen

Bhakti-Yoga and the Hare Krishna is a clear and authentic introduction to the philosophy, practices, and spiritual culture of the Hare Krishna movement, rooted in the ancient bhakti tradition of India.
Renowned scholar and devotee Steven J. Rosen (also known as Satyaraja Dasa) presents the theology of bhakti-yoga in an accessible and scholarly way, explaining its origins in the Vedic scriptures, its revival through Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and its modern expression through the Hare Krishna movement founded by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
The book explores the core teachings of devotion to Krishna, the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, the principles of devotional service, and the lifestyle of bhakti practitioners. It also addresses common questions about the movement, its history, its practices, and its relevance in the modern world.
Blending academic clarity with devotional depth, this book is ideal for spiritual seekers, students of religion, and anyone interested in understanding the Hare Krishna movement beyond stereotypes — as a living, dynamic path of love, service, and self-realization.
