Author Description

Srila Prabhupada is famous as the founder of the worldwide Hare Krishna Movement. He opened hundreds of temples and translated dozens of sacred scriptures explaining the devotional science of God-who is most intimately known as Krishna, the all-attractive. But before coming to the West, Srila Prabhupada spent most of his life in India. He was known to his family and friends as Abhay Charan De. This is the story of young Abhay as he grew up in India, and then as an elderly gentleman, came to America. It follows Abhay as he goes to school, then college, starts a family and business, and as a young man meets his future spiritual master, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, who inspires him to follow Lord Chaitanya and spread the message of Krishna consciousness around the world as had never been done before.
