A Bond of Love: Srila Prabhupada and His Daughters

 
This inspiring retrospective shows how, while A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada’s female disciples’ lives unfolded in numerous ways, their bond of love with their guru never wavered. Readers are quickly pulled into the heartfelt memories of these female disciples.
While enlightening and uplifting to followers of Srila Prabhupada, A Bond of Love is also an interesting sociological study of the mindset of young women in the late 60s—why they chose Krishna consciousness, and how those who chose this spiritual path weathered the next fifty years.
 
A Bond of Love is a compilation of over 300 of Srila Prabhupada’s female disciples’ memories about their personal interactions with Srila Prabhupada and how he influenced the rest of their lives.From an idea spawned by one of his early female disciples in 2008, the book slowly took form through the dedicated work of some of his spiritual daughters, and even some grand-daughters.Rarely does one find books written from the female disciples’ perspective. As a result, this book gives a deeper understanding into how a bonafide and chaste sannyasa guru interacts lovingly yet properly with his female disciples.
