Ayurvedacharya bal krishna naipaul biography

Novelists are known to have tweaked history. But inconsistency with historical records, as in Alexandre Dumas’ Queen Margot, has been attributed to artistic freedom. In later works, such as Ros Barber's The Marlowe Papers, writers have operated with even more freedom, mixing historical characters and settings with invented history and fantasy.

And so it is with all these sects and sampradayas that make Vrindavan their holy center: all brothers and sisters and cousins, all with their own unique personalities, some crazy, some avaricious, so many saintly, so many talented, so many beautiful.

I am old enough that I have seen 35 years of Vrindavan. There are many of Prabhupada's disciples who have been here longer and seen more than me. And indeed it was Prabhupada I thought of as I cycled along, observing the new world of Vrindavan. Because, after all, more than anyone he is the architect of the "new" Vrindavan, just like Rupa and Sanatan Goswami, and all the other Vaishnava families built their temples and made Vrindavan the holy center it is.
