Hare Krishna past and present
When I decided to publish my memoirs, one of my acquaintances told me: “Is it not too early? Your enemies are still alive”. I replied to him: “I have no enemies”. But, after giving it some thought, I added: “This is my life, and its script is already written. I can’t change it or edit it, even if the whole world becomes my enemy!”
“Hare Krishna past and present” is one of the books in the series of publications that we started with Academician V. Lisovsky. Later on, the philosopher Elmar Sokolov and S. Nekrasov, expert in cultural studies, joined us.
Interest in the history of the Hare Krishna Movement in the former USSR is growing. It is natural, because the present grows from the past, and the future grows from the present. The new generation of Krishna devotees in interested not only in the philosophy of Krishna Consciousness given in the books fo acharyas.
