Hari Sauri Dasa – författare

This is the third of five volumes, covering the time between June 1976 - August 1976. It covers the second half of Srila Prabhupada''s last world tour. Momorable in many ways, he visited new properties in Washington, New York, and spend time in three rural communities - New Vrindavan (West Virginia, USA), New Mayapur (France) and Gita-Nagari (Port Royal, Pennsylvania), as well as visiting his centers in London and Paris.

This is the fourth of five volumes, covering the period between August 1976 - October 1976. In this volume we follow Srila Prabhupada on the last leg of his final world tour to Teheran, Bombay, Hyberabad, New Delhi and the sacred town of Vrindavan.

This is the fifth of five volumes, covering the period from October 1976 - December 1976. It deeply describes Srila Prabhupada''s visits to Aligarh, New Delhi, and Chandigarh, as well as extended repose at ISKCON''s Krishna-Balarama Mandir in Sri Vrindavan-dhama. Hari Sauri Prabhu was a personal servant of Srila Prabhupada for a period of sixteen months, from late November 1975 to the end of March 1977. So we might well be prepared for a sixth volume that covers the last few months of his intensive service to His Divine Grace.

The second book describing Hari Sauri Dasa''s time as Srila Prabhupada''s servant. An insider''s look into the life of a pure devotee of the Lord. Seen through the eyes of his personal servant, Srila Prabhupada comes alive in this transcendental diary of his travels through the world.

In this Hari Sauri''s Transcendental Diary the reader comes to understand the man who has touched the hearts and minds of so many people around the world. For scholars and students of religion the material presented represents a critically important historical record. Anyone seeking to understand Prabhupada''s movement specifically, or the centrality of charismatic leadership to the development of religious movements, will want to consider this book. The use of a diary to record and present Prabhupada''s life has helped assure that the material presented is richly detailed and an accurate reflection of unfolding events. Hari Sauri has given the reader a clear and rather straight forward presentation of events rather than engaging in historical reconstruction meant to serve partisan or theoretical interests. As such, it will be of great interest to historians and sociologists of religion who seek to understand the cultural and social significance of Prabhupada and the broader Hare Krishna movement. The value of this volume and the ones to follow cannot be overstated.
