This book is about the exploits of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and the Hare Krishna movement in Delhi and is based upon interviews and personal memoirs of Shrila Prabhupada’s disciples, grand-disciples, Iskcon life-members, well-wishers, and others, who came into contact with Shrila Prabhupada during the period that he preached in the city of Delhi from the year 1955 to 1977. Because the opening of the ‘Glory of India Vedic Cultural Centre’ was an important milestone in the history of the Iskcon movement in India, there arose a need to record the details of the movement's activities from the period when Shrila Prabhupada first arrived in the city of Delhi in 1955, up to the year 1998, when Shrila Prabhupada's transcendental desire to build a landmark Radha-Krishna temple in the national capital, was eventually fulfilled by his disciples - with the opening of Iskcon's ‘Glory of India Vedic Cultural Centre’. This book has been specifically published for the pleasure of the pious citizens of India, and the thousands of Iskcon devotees, life-members, friends, and well-wishers, who have recognised the great work undertaken by Shrila Prabhupada in spreading India's Vedic religion all over the world. This book provides an intimate insight into the life of Shrila Prabhupada, now acknowledged as India’s greatest-ever preacher of love of God, and records the gradual development of the Iskcon movement from its humble beginnings in Delhi, to the world-wide spiritual organization that it has become today.
