A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhup?da (1896-1977), founder of the Hare Krishna        Movement, traced his lineage to the fifteenth-century Indian saint Sri Chaitanya. He        authored more than fifty volumes of English translation and commentaries on Sanskrit        and Bengali texts, serving as a medium between these distant authorities and his        modern Western readership and using his writings as blueprints for spiritual change        and a revolution in consciousness. He had to speak the language of a people vastly        disparate from the original recipients of his tradition's scriptures without        compromising fidelity to the tradition.Tamal Krishna Goswami claims that the social        scientific, philosophical, and 'insider' forms of investigation previously applied        have failed to explain the presence of a powerful interpretative device-a mahavakya        or 'great utterance'-that governs and pervades Prabhupada's 'living theology' of        devotion on bhakti. For Prabhupada, the wide range of 'vedic' subject matter is        governed by the axiomatic truth: Krishna is the Supreme Personality of        Godhead.Goswami's academic training at the University of Cambridge, his thirty        years' experience as a practitioner and teacher, and his extensive interactions with        Prabhupada as both personal secretary and managerial representative, afforded him a        unique opportunity to understand and illuminate the theological contribution of        Prabhupada. In this work, Goswami proves that the voice of the scholar-practitioner        can be intimately connected with his tradition while sustaining a mature critical        stance relative to his subject. A Living Theology of Krishna Bhakti includes a        critical introduction and conclusion by Graham M. Schweig.
