Ras Flako Tafari is an author and a respected figure in the Rastafari community, known for his books on Rastafari teachings, including selections from Emperor Haile Selassie I.
In Part 2, Ras Flako Tafari breaks down the intense pressure early Rastafari faced. He speaks on the persecution from the state, the social hostility of the time, and how these conditions pushed many brethren into a stripped-down, deeply spiritual way of living.
Far from society’s noise, some Rastas adopted an almost monk-like existence: no women around them, few material possessions, and a daily focus on discipline, meditation, and survival.
