Sinopse
Características

Becoming Vaishnava in an Ideal Vedic City centers on a growing multinational community of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal. While ISKCONs history is often presented in terms of an Indian guru transplanting Indian spirituality to the West, this book focusses on the efforts to bring ISKCON back to India. Paying particular attention to devotees failure to consistently live up to ISKCONs ideals and the ongoing struggle to realize the utopian vision of an ideal Vedic city, this book argues that the anthropology of ethics must account for how moral systems accommodate the problem of moral failure.
