Disciple of My Disciple: The Hare Krishna Guru Controversy

Fot the first time, the principle devotees who questioned Srila Prabhupada on May 28th, 1977 and attended him thoroughout his final days, speak out on the “guru” issues.

HH Tamal Krishna Goswami, HH Satsvarupa Goswami, HG Hari Sauri Dasa, HG Abhirama Dasa and many others candidly recapture those historical times- and controversial events that followed.

Professor Tom Hopkins offers and academic perspective along with the views of numerous grand-diciples and aspiring disciples. This one hour program invites the inquisitive and curious to experience another dimension, a personal one, to the ritvik debate. (50min).

“Shed light on an otherwise convoluted conflict.” “Takes the mystery out of all the word jugglery.” “Reveals heretofore unexplained motive.” “Sets the record straight.” “Goes way beyond the guru proxy issue.” Includes unreleased, newly restored footage of Srila Prabhupada.
