The Hare Krishna Explosion The Birth of Krishna Consciousness in America

The Hare Krishna Explosion
The Birth of Krishna Consciousness in America (1966–1969)
Author: Hayagriva Dasa
 
A powerful first hand account of how Srila Prabhupada, a lone sadhu from India, arrived in New York City in 1965 and ignited a spiritual revolution. "The Hare Krishna Explosion" takes readers to the early days of the Krishna Consciousness movement in America, from a small storefront on New York’s Lower East Side to a worldwide spiritual mission.
 
Through the eyes of Hayagriva Dasa, one of Srila Prabhupada’s earliest American disciples and a respected professor, this memoir captures the transformation of lives and hearts in the 1960s—when hippies became monks, drug use was replaced by kirtana, and Vedic wisdom awakened the spiritual hunger of a lost generation.
