they alledge that the correct answer to this question is the second choice, B but a debate has started over whether D is in fact the more correct answer. the debate centered over whether Hare Krishna was the means rather than the goal and that the movement was in fact, \u201cBhakti-yoga\u201d, as it had been transplanted to the west by the master of all gardeners, the keeper of the creepers, Swami Prabhupada.<\/p>\n

Perhaps even more satisfyingly outr\u00e9 was the Hare Krishna movement. This was a Hindu sect whose members shaved their heads and paraded in saffron robes, chanting and banging tambourines, and cadging donations from harried travelers in airports. The full-time members, who lived communally in ashrams, probably never exceeded about 4,000, according to Burke Rochford, a sociologist at Middlebury College. But that handful, he says, \u201creally believed they were going to change the nature of American society.\u201d Instead, as the movement dwindled in the late 1970s, the ashrams shrank, and devotees, some of whom had joined years earlier as teens, had to make their way in society with little education and no job experience. Hare Krishna is now mostly a religion of Indian immigrants, not white American youths, but it left its mark on those who passed through it, says Graham Schweig, an authority on Eastern religions at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va. \u201cThey\u2019re not all still in the ashrams, but their miracle has been to find the ashram within the mainstream, within themselves, and still function in the world.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
