Comprehensive Bibliography

The material in the bibliography included with this collection comes from a variety of sources. Much of it came from various databases accessible through Florida Gulf Coast University's computer system. I made notes of the databases I consulted, but in my rush to collect the bibliographic material, I'm afraid that I may not have always taken down complete information on the databases (and sometimes I have trouble reading my own handwriting!). Therefore, there may be errors in the listing that follows. Some of the bibliographic entries are incomplete. I put a premium on quantity, rather than accuracy, for to my knowledge, a comprehensive bibliography on ISKCON does not exist. I hope that somebody will volunteer to "clean up" and expand this bibliography.

I first list the sources I consulted. Then I list selected links to provide guidance to those who wish to explore the many Internet resources on ISKCON. Thirdly, I list the content list of ISKCON Communications Journal, which ICJ Editor, Lyall Ward, sent to me. Lastly, I list the 418 articles, chapters, and books gleaned from my search.

I hope this bibliography is useful to those of you interested in studying ISKCON in depth.
