My Life, My Religion: Hindu Priest by Rasamandala Das
In each book of the series, a religious community leader describes his or her work and daily life. They show that they have far more to do than lead services one day a week - for example, teaching, studying, hospital visiting, caring, office work, attending meetings and representing their religious institution in the local community. They are also 'ordinary people', practising their religion for themselves and keeping up with mundane matters like cooking and cleaning. Each book is based on photographs specially taken to show the busy, variety-full life of the person in question. The first-person text leads the reader through the pictures. In describing each leader's life and work, the photos and text also provide a wealth of information about the religion itself. HINDU PRIEST shows Jai Krishna, one of the priests at the Hare Krishna temple in Aldenham. He is married with two children, aged 7 and 8. His son is interested in learning to be a priest and following in his father's footsteps.
Ruth Nason is an experienced editor of children's non-fiction, often specialising in world religions. She has written this book in conjunction with Revd Nicola Lenthall (whose mother is an infant teacher). Rasamandala Das is director of ISKCON Educational Services, one of the largest UK suppliers of educational resources on Hinduism.
