ISKCON Studies Journal Volume One

ISKCON Studies Journal

After a lot of hard work, the first issue of the ISKCON Studies Journal is now available.

The ISJ is one of the main activities of the ISKCON Studies Institute. The idea is that issues will link in to our conferences. Hence, volume two should feature articles from the Guru conference in July.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. This issue is full of excellent articles by some of the best scholars in the field of ISKCON Studies.

Accessibility is a key concern so all articles are available on the web. However you can also buy hard copies or pdf of the Journal by clicking here.

Many thanks to all who have made this issue possible – the editors, the authors, and the ISKCON Studies Editorial Board.
