Seeing Krishna in America

<p> The Hindu sect the Vallabha Sampradaya was founded in India in the 15th century by a devotional saint Vallabhacharya. Their bhakti tradition worships a variety of forms of Krishna as a seven-year-old child. Following U.S. immigration reforms in 1965 members of the sect established a spiritual headquarters for the faith in Pennsylvania and began to construct temples across the United States. Since then the growth has continued as this 500-year-old faith becomes an American religion as this work demonstrates.</p>
