The son of neuroscientist Sir Gabriel Horn and grandson of Methodist minister and socialist peer Baron Soper, Andrew chose a different path to his famous forebears, being drawn towards Eastern spirituality. Serving as a Hare Krishna monk for 20 years, given the Hindu name 'Arjundas' (meaning 'The servant of Arjuna', referring to the legendary hero of the Indian epic, the Mahabharata), he divided his time between his devotional duties and the study of Hindu culture, including mastering the Sanskrit language. He has adapted and staged numerous classic Indian dramas around the world, and has received acclaim for his English translation of 16th century guru, poet, and philosopher Rupa Goswami's spiritual masterpiece, romantic drama the Vidagdha Madhava. Leading digital newspaper The London Economic has described his translation, titled A Portrait of Lord Shree Krishna and published through Maple Publishers, as, "A stunningly fresh and sensitive translation of a Sanskrit classic from an author who has clearly imbibed the rich culture it sprang from."
