Steven Gelberg, M.A.

 

Steven Gelberg, M.A., while a member from 1970-1987, served as the Krishna Movement's principal liaison to the international academic community (e.g., edited Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna: Five Distinguished Scholars on the Krishna Movement in the West, Grove Press, 1983), and its Director for Interreligious Affairs.  He is author of a number of scholarly articles on ISKCON (and related historical, social-scientific, and cultic issues) published in various academic books and journals.  He subsequently earned a Masters degree (comparative religion) from Harvard Divinity School in 1990.  He currently lives with his wife and cat near San Francisco, where he is an accomplished fine art photographer, working on a book, Photography and Imagination. His essay, "On Leaving ISKCON," to be published in revised form in a forthcoming volume from Columbia University Press, is available online at http://surrealist.org/betrayalofthespirit/gelberg.html.
