Swami Chinmayananda'S Vision Of Teaching Values To Children Through The Scriptures

Indian culture is admired and respected all over the world for its depth. This book features in simple terms, the various aspects of this rich spiritual culture.

Peacock, parrot, plant, pebble, deer, doe, calf, cow, creeper and flower...Krishna could connect with all of them. The gopas and gopis found him an irresistible bundle of fun, frolic, mischief and masti. Yet this pot breaker was no heartbreaker. He could sense what bothered everyone, without their voicing it. Be it poverty, slavery, insults or injustice, the merrymaker solved it all and made life joyful and peaceful for them, all over again. The stories here reveal how life magically changes, with Kanha as your best buddy.

Dancing and chanting with their shaven heads and saffron robes, Hare Krishnas presented the most visible face of any of the eastern religions transplanted to the West during the sixties and seventies. Yet few people know much about them. This comprehensive study includes more than twenty contributions from members, ex-members, and academics who have followed the Hare Krishna movement for years. Since the death of its founder, the movement, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), has experienced debates over the roles of authority, heresy, and dissent, which have led to the development of several splinter movements. There is a growing women's rights movement and a highly publicized child abuse scandal. Providing a privileged look at the people and issues shaping ISKCON, this volume also offers insight into the complex factors surrounding the emergence of religious traditions, including early Christianity, as well as a glimpse of the original seeds and the germinating stages of a religious tradition putting down roots in foreign soil.
