About the Book

This book provides a detailed case study of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Britain, examining a particular 15-year dispute involving ISKCON's main centre of worship at Bhaktivedanta Manor. The aim of the book is to look at the particular development of a new religious movement within the context of Britain, and at how the dispute has highlighted some important issues relating to minority religions' place within a multicultural but still hegemonically Christian society. The book examines how Bhaktivedanta Manor became an important focus for British Hindus, and how ISKCON made use of the Manor's popularity to develop closer ties with the Indian Hindu population. This confirms the process of the 'Indianisation' of the Hare Krishna movement, as through the 1980s and 1990s ISKCON sought to move away from their 'cult' or 'new religion' image into being perceived as a 'legitimate' strand of 'mainstream' Hinduism. At the same time, ISKCON sought to shape and develop the establishment of sanatan Hinduism in Britain.

Review :
'A detailed and well written book deserves to be widely read. This timely and well-told story should be in every University library and would enliven any graduate or senior undergraduate course on Hinduism.' - Hindu-Christian Studies 'A book which is valuable particularly on account of the care with which solid ethnographic and legal material has been assembled' - Ethnic and Racial Studies 'A detailed and well written book deserves to be widely read. This timely and well-told story should be in every University library and would enliven any graduate or senior undergraduate course on Hinduism.' - Hindu-Christian Studies 'A book which is valuable particularly on account of the care with which solid ethnographic and legal material has been assembled' - Ethnic and Racial Studies 'This book crosses a number of disciplines and it is therefore possible to recommned it to students of anthropology, religion and the social and political sciences. It is written in a clear style that should also make it accessible to the interested general reader.' - Reviews in Religion and Theology 'Malory Nye provides an empirically detailed and theoretically engaging account of a lengthy and complex dispute over the status, use and significance of a place of ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Conciousness) worship' - Ethnos
