Pastimes of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in Australia and New Zealand
by Kurma dasa
This is the story of the dawning of the Hare Krishna Movement in Australia and New Zealand, and chronicles The six visits Srila Prabhupada made to Australia between 1971-1976.
Kurma’s book is not just a listing of who, what, when, where and why. It is a thoroughly engaging narrative. His writing takes us with him to that time and that place and we experience it all as he and the other young devotees did.
“An entertaining read, rigorously researched, The Great Transcendental Adventure takes you to the time when a wave of young Aussies experienced a revolution in consciousness. Somehow or other, we came across a genuine, charismatic, practitioner of the science of self-realisation. Many of us gave our lives to remain in his company, and to the easy and practical process of Krishna consciousness that he lovingly shared. —Rasanandini dasi, Melbourne, Australia.
“Simply unputdownable! I have relished every word! Thank you for recording a historical epoch to inspire many, many future generations.” —Sahadeva dasa, TP at Iskcon Secundarabad, India
The book definitely lives up to it’s name! —Pundarika Vidyanidhi ACBSP
“A wonderful masterpiece of Vaisnava History” —Jahnava Mata dasi, TP at Iskcon Dunedin, New Zealand.
“Not only a brilliant work of dedication and devotion but also an insightful piece of social history” —Parama Karuna dasa, Australia
“Once you start reading this great book, you’ve got to complete it, as it’s something you can’t put a bookmark in. It’s impossible to put down. So happy to see it again in print! —Nandagopāla Jivana Dāsa, Founder and Director at Golden Age Media
