THE GREAT TRANSCENDENTAL - ADVENTURE Pastimes of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupãda in Australia and New Zealand - Kurma Dãsa

The early and mid-70s marked a period of rapid growth for the Hare Krishna movement, also known as the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). At the helm of this expansion was A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder-acharya of ISKCON. Prabhupada tirelessly traveled the globe, inspiring and guiding his young followers in establishing centers dedicated to spreading the teachings of the Bhagavad-gita and the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.

Australia and New Zealand were among the many countries where the Hare Krishna movement flourished during this time. Between 1971 and 1976, Srila Prabhupada visited Australia six times and New Zealand three times, leaving a profound impact on the spiritual landscape of these nations.

With five years of research and over 950 hours of interviews, Kurma dasa offer the well-researched and entertaining story of Srila Prabhupada’s pastimes and ISKCON’s history down under.

The Great Transcendental Adventure serves as an testament to the enduring legacy of Srila Prabhupada and the dedicated efforts of his followers in spreading the message of Krishna consciousness across the globe, including the vibrant landscapes of Australia and New Zealand.
