New Vrindaban Brijabasi Spirit

Student papers at the Global Leadership Center at Ohio University profile the conversion experience of some of the residents of New Vrindavan Community. The students broke into groups and interviewed devotees on the phone a couple of times, spent a month doing research into the community, and then actually came to visit for a weekend last Oct.

Now their papers are ready for viewing at Harvard University’s Pluralism Project website. The Pluralism Project is dedicated to the study of religious diversity in America.
