Description

The Hindu sect the Vallabha Sampradaya was founded in India in the 15th century by a devotional saint, Vallabhacharya.

Their bhakti tradition worships a variety of forms of Krishna as a seven-year-old child.

Following U.S. immigration reforms in 1965, members of the sect established a spiritual headquarters for the faith in Pennsylvania and began to construct temples across the United States.

Since then, the growth has continued as this 500-year-old faith becomes an American religion, as this work demonstrates.
