Description: Hare Krishna Movement : The Postcharismatic Fate of a Religious Transplant, Hardcover by Bryant, Edwin (EDT); Ekstrand, Maria (EDT), ISBN 023112256X, ISBN-13 9780231122566, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The death of the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (the Hare Krishnas) a quarter century ago initiated a period of doctrinal controversy and other turmoil. Particularly concerned with this post-charismatic era in the West, Bryant (Hinduism, Rutgers U.) and Ekstrand (medicine, U. of California at San Francisco) bring together papers from academics outside the tradition and "insiders," including disillusioned and still believing writers, to explore the theology, history, and social legacy of the religious movement. The major theme is schism, with discussion of the context of Hinduism, controversies over the lineage of the tradition, orthodoxy and heresy, sociocultural issues related to interactions between the movement and the wider society, and issues pertaining to reform, revision, and reevaluation.
