FOR THE GLORIFICATION OF HIS DIVINE GRACE A. C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPADA

"CHASING RHINOS WITH THE SWAMI"
by Shyamasundar Das
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 philosophy and culture. 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 in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, in London with the Beatles, and then, as the Swami’s personal secretary, he traveled with Prabhupada in India, Russia, and all over the globe. In three volumes and nearly 600 photos, “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.
