A Pan-Africanist Hare Krishna Movement in Revolutionary Ghana: Eye On Africa (29 September 2022).

Speaker: Dr. Dennis Laumann

Topic: A Pan-Africanist Hare Krishna Movement in
Revolutionary Ghana

The late 1970s and early 1980s, a tumultuous and transformative period in Ghana’s
history, was marked by the circulation and embrace of multifarious new (and
existing) ideologies and religions. In this radical era, the International Society for
Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), popularly known as the Hare Krishnas, was

African devotees. This talk will present the fascinating Pan-African origins, obscure
early history, and possible impact of ISKCON in Revolutionary Ghana.
