The book studies the particular development of a new religious movement within the context of Britain, and issues relating to minority religions' place within a multicultural but still hegemonically Christian society.

Recenzje

'A detailed and well written book deserves to be widely read. This timely and well-told story should be in every University library and would enliven any graduate or senior undergraduate course on Hinduism.' - Hindu-Christian Studies

'A book which is valuable particularly on account of the care with which solid ethnographic and legal material has been assembled' - Ethnic and Racial Studies

'This book crosses a number of disciplines and it is therefore possible to recommned it to students of anthropology, religion and the social and political sciences. It is written in a clear style that should also make it accessible to the interested general reader.' - Reviews in Religion and Theology
