Satyaraja Dasa

Satyaraja Dasa (born 1955), birth name Steven J. Rosen, is an initiated disciple of A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. He is the founding editor of "The Journal of Vaishnava Studies". He is also an associate editor of "Back to Godhead", the magazine of the Hare Krishna Movement.Fact|date=February 2008

He is the author of 20 books on Vaishnavism and related subjects, including "Vaishnavi: Women and the Worship of Krishna" (1996); "Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance" (2000); "Holy War: Violence and the Bhagavad Gita" (2002); "The Hidden Glory of India" (2002); "From Nothingness to Personhood: A Collection of Essays on Buddhism From a Vaishnava Perspective" (2003); and "Black Lotus: The Spiritual Journey of an Urban Mystic" (2007), which is the life story of Bhakti Tirtha Swami.Fact|date=February 2008

Satyaraja has a strong view on vegetarianism and has written "Diet for Transcendence: Vegetarianism and the World Religions" (1997, previously published as "Food for the Spirit") and "Holy Cow: The Hare Krishna Contribution to Vegetarianism and Animal Rights" (2004). In the former volume, he systematically explains the practice of vegetarianism in various religious traditions, such as Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Judaism, with special attention to the philosophical schools of India.Fact|date=February 2008 In the latter, he looks at early Vedic tradition, animal sacrifices, and the innovative contributions of the Hare Krishna movement.

Several years ago he was called upon by Greenwood Press, a major academic publisher, to write the Hinduism volume for their "Introduction to the World's Major Religions" series. The book did so well that they further commissioned him to write "Essential Hinduism," a more comprehensive treatment of the same subject, under the auspices of their prestigious parent company (Praeger), and the book is now receiving worldwide acclaim. In fact, Rowman & Littlefield recently released a quality paperback version of the book that is now sold in bookstores worldwide.

His most recent work (2008) is a book/CD package called "The Yoga of Kirtan: Conversations on the Sacred Art of Chanting" in which he interviews 21 kirtan masters from around the world and offers new essays on call-and-response singing as a form of yogic spirituality. His books have appeared in several languages, including Spanish, German, Hungarian, Czech, Swedish, Chinese, and Russian.Fact|date=February 2008
