From American Christian boy to Hindu guru, with Stephen Knapp

This is an interview Stephen Knapp did for Festival of Bharath on how he traversed from Christianity to becoming a Krishna bhakta or Hindu as some would say, and a description of how he developed various activities, including lecturing, teaching and writing books for the protection, preservation and promotion of Vedic culture, all for the perpetuation of it. This is an example of how others can join in and work to spread the value of Vedic traditions and what it has provided humanity.
Stephen Knapp (Sri Nandanandana dasa) is a true Vaishnava scholar, author, photographer, and lecturer. He is a direct disciple of Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. After his first reading in 1971 of the Bhagavad-gita, the classic summary of Vedic philosophy, he felt like he had found the last piece of the puzzle he had been putting together through all of his philosophical research on the purpose and meaning of life. Thereafter, over a fifty-year span, he has studied all of the major Vedic texts, and written and produced 50 different publications and over 200 articles on the importance of Vedic culture and Indian history. He has given lectures at many different venues, such as universities, corporations, organizations, and conferences across various countries like USA, Canada, Mexico, and especially India, about the information he has accumulated on the timeless message of Sanatana-dharma. He now spends his time working to preserve, protect, promote, and perpetuate the ageless traditions and knowledge of the Vedic culture and yoga systems of India.
