George Harrison, Shyamasundar Das (on Harrison's right) and other devotees chant together in London.
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad 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 Prabhupad’s earliest disciples, helping him shape the Krishna Consciousness Movement in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, with the Beatles in London, and then, as the Swami’s personal secretary, in India, Russia, and all over the globe. Nothing was impossible for Srila Prabhupad, and he instilled this idea in the hearts of his first disciples: Go for the rhino!
“Chasing Rhinos With The Swami” is the intimate account of Prabhupad’s amazing adventures, describing in loving detail the seven years Shyamasundar spent at the side of the Perfect Person; these unique eye-witness stories have never been revealed in this special way, and will never be told this way again.
