Sing, Dance and Pray: The Inspirational Story of Srila Prabhupada
Sing, Dance and Pray is the national bestselling biography of Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness), lovingly known as the Hare Krishna Movement.
Written by acclaimed author Hindol Sengupta, this book narrates the extraordinary journey of a saint who, at the age of 69, traveled alone from India to America with just a few dollars and a trunk of sacred books. From humble beginnings, Srila Prabhupada established a global spiritual movement that transformed the lives of millions through the practice of bhakti-yoga—singing, dancing, and praying the holy names of Krishna.
With engaging storytelling and deep research, Sengupta highlights not just the personal life of Srila Prabhupada but also his timeless message of devotion, compassion, and service.
