Sing, Dance and Pray: The Inspirational Story of Srila Prabhupada Founder-Acharya of Iskcon

The authorized biography of the Hare Krishna movement's founder.

When A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada entered the port of New York City on September 17, 1965, few Americans took notice--but he was not merely another immigrant. He was on a mission to introduce ancient teachings of Vedic India to mainstream America. Before Srila Prabhupada passed away at the age of eighty-one on November 14, 1977, his mission was successful. He had founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), colloquially known as the 'Hare Krishna Movement, ' and saw it grow into a worldwide confederation of more than 100 temples, ashrams, and cultural centers.

This is the inspirational story of Srila Prabhupada. As the founder of ISKCON, he 'emerged as a major figure of Western counterculture, initiating thousands of young Americans.'

He has been described as a charismatic leader who was successful in acquiring followers in many countries, including the United States, Europe, and India. Srila Prabhupada's story is bound to put you on a path of self-realization.
