Focusing on a multinational community of ISKCON devotees in Mayapur, West Bengal, the book explores the movement's efforts to reconnect with its Indian roots. It challenges the narrative of Indian spirituality's transplantation to the West by examining the struggles within the community to embody ISKCON's ideals. The narrative highlights the ongoing pursuit of an 'ideal Vedic city' while addressing the complexities of moral failure within ethical frameworks, suggesting that anthropology must engage with these challenges in understanding moral systems.
