Garland of Memories 1988-1996: Volume 1

Garland of Memories is a two-volume book with eyewitness accounts of the life and teachings of one of the most outstanding modern-day Gaudiya Vaisnava. If any Eastern philosophies have defied the boundaries of lands and continents, Gaudiya Vaisnavism has successfully defied all concepts of nationalities, genders, and faiths. Tamal Krishna Goswami, American-born, was such a personality who, after an intense decade (1968 – 1977) of dedication to this spiritual master, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami, braved the challenges and obstacles of a fast-growing modern civilization and penetrated all layers of society, from the hippies to the most renown academics and scholars, to deliver the simple yet pertinent message of the spirit soul, the common thread to all sentient beings. These two volumes retell Tamal Krishna Goswami’s daily routine, travels, profound lectures, outstanding academic studies, and ground-breaking territories where no one dared to tread. The people he met, his battle with cancer, and his outstanding achievements are all recorded in an easy-to-read diary format spanning from 1988 to 2002. —- ISBN: 9798329427202 | ISBN10: B0D844BKGS | ISBN-13: 979-8329427202
