Jan 24, 2013 — PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA, USA (SUN) — Chapter One posted online.

Henry Doktorski (Hrishikesh dasa), author of a forthcoming biography of Kirtanananda Swami titled Gold, Guns and God, requests interviews with those who met him or were affected by him.

He said, "I'm pleased to report that my forthcoming book is coming closer to reality. Currently I'm looking to see how devotees were affected by Kirtanananda Swami, how they perceived him and how their perceptions might have changed as the years passed. I am looking for memories of the man, positive, negative or neutral, as I am trying to present a balanced portrayal of him showing all sides of his controversial personality. If you wish to speak in confidence on condition of anonymity, I will respect your request."

Hrishikesh has posted Chapter One, titled 'This child is going to be a great preacher', online. Read it here.
