Shyamasundar Das (Sam Speerstra) was one of Bhaktivedanta Swami’s earliest disciples, helping him shape the Krishna Consciousness movement in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, in London, and then, as the Swami’s personal secretary, he traveled with Prabhupada in India, Russia, and all over the globe. «Chasing Rhinos With The Swami» is the intimate account of Prabhupada’s amazing adventures, describing in loving detail the seven years Shyamasundar spent at the side of the perfect person. Nothing was impossible for Srila Prabhupada, and he instilled this idea in the hearts of his first disciples. Go for the rhino!
«We should always be enthusiastic to try for capturing the rhinoceros. That way, if we fail, everyone will say, ‘Never mind, nobody can catch a rhinoceros anyway,’ and if we succeed, then everyone will say, ‘Just see what a wonderful thing they have done!‘» –A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Words from the Author: «You’ve waited a long
time for this volume two, but I wanted to make it perfect for you! After
years of intense research, sorting through nearly 40,000 photos, volume
two is finally ready. My ardent prayer is that you will relish
Prabhupada’s thrilling adventures as much as I have enjoyed chronicling
them for you!»
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.
