Overview

The founder Acharya of the Hare Krishna movement, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, was respected and loved by all his disciples. This love they had for him was not simply a formality, but a deep bond built on his kindness, compassion, and the loving dedication he showed to them, even while seriously training them in the science of Bhakti Yoga. A Bond of Love is a compilation of over 300 of his female disciples' memories about their personal interactions with Srila Prabhupada and how he influenced the rest of their lives.From an idea spawned by one of his early female disciples in 2008, the book slowly took form through the dedicated work of some of his spiritual daughters, and even some grand-daughters.Rarely does one find books written from the female disciples' perspective. As a result, this book gives a deeper understanding into how a bonafide and chaste sannyasa guru interacts lovingly yet properly with his female disciples.This is an inspiring retrospective showing how, while his female disciples' lives unfolded in numerous ways, their bond of love with their guru never wavered. Readers are quickly pulled into the heartfelt memories of these female disciples.While enlightening and uplifting to devotees of Srila Prabhupada, A Bond of Love is also an interesting sociological study of the minds of young women in the late 60s and how those who chose this spiritual path weathered the next fifty years.
