Summary
Many call Vrindavan the spiritual capital of India - it's Krishna's eternal playground - but the world is gobbling it up. Delhi's vast sprawl is engulfing the town, the waters of the Yamuna are too polluted to drink or even bathe in, and temples are fast becoming theme parks. One of them will be the world's tallest religious building. This book chronicles Vrindavan's feisty, colorful energy - Hinduism in rapid change. But will the town survive?
