Raghunatha Anudasa (John Michael Giuffre) Writer Raghu is seen here with a famous movie star. Raghunatha with his mother and daughter in 1996. Raghunatha has written extensively about his experiences growing up in the ISKCON gurukula system in the 1970s and 1980s. His original newsletter, ISKCON Youth Veterans, published in 1990, gave gurukula alumni a voice. Raghunatha has also helped organize gurukula reunions since 1990. His new newsletter is an online history project to give others a chance to document their experiences. Read Raghunatha's essay, Children of the Ashram, at this site (link here) and log onto his other site: Gurukula Veterans Journal. I have also devoted a section of surrealist.org to the children of ISKCON with more photos and information: link here. index
