| Summary |
It's 1965 and The Western world is in turmoil. An unassuming 70-year-old Swami from India arrives in New York City alone. He carries only the firm faith in his teacher’s request: “offer spiritual wisdom to the people of the world!” This universal message resonates with more and more people, including poet Allen Ginsberg and Beatles' George Harrison whose hit song ‘My Sweet Lord’, features the Hare Krishna chant. From there, Prabhupada’s movement explodes, and his followers – now known as the Hare Krishnas – become renowned for chanting and dancing in the streets. Not everyone is enamored by the enthusiastic fervor of the young followers. Parents and community leaders begin to view it as a dangerous cult. Devotees are charged with brainwashing and are taken to court in a controversial case that threatens to undermine everything that Prabhupada has worked for... HARE KRISHNA! is the true story of an unexpected, prolific, and controversial revolutionary. Jury Prize Winner at the **Illuminate Film Festival**. *"HARE KRISHNA!...reveals an inner glow." - **LA Times*** *“The film provides an uplifting spiritual experience, regardless of one’s beliefs or personal religion.” - **Red Carpet Crash*** |
