A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada changed the world. When he came to America from India in 1965, few Westerners knew the deep spiritual truths behind ancient Vedic culture and civilization. Within a decade most humans on the planet had heard the Hare Krishna mantra. Shyamasundar Das (Sam Speerstra) was one of Bhaktivedanta Swami’s earliest disciples, helping him shape the Krishna Consciousness Movement around the world.
Volume One of Shyamasundar’s long-awaited memoir is now available in paperback. This is the most detailed and exciting account yet of Bhaktivedanta Swami’s amazing adventures in the dawn of the Hare Krishna movement. Volume One describes the Swami’s halcyon days in the Haight-Asbury district of San Francisco and in London, 1967-1970, including meeting the Beatles and, with them, broadcasting Krishna philosophy and culture around the globe. A hundred intimate, eye-witness stories, along with 128 rare photos, will transport you into those magic days: chasing “rhinos” with the Swami.

Your grateful servant,
Shyamasundar das
