His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), also known as the Hare Krishna movement. Srila Prabhupada came to the West in 1965 from India to carry out his spiritual masters order to spread Krishna Consciousness throughout the world.  In just twelve years, despite his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents.  He is the world’s foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realised spiritual masters beginning with Lord Krishna himself.  He wrote more than sixty volumes of authoritative translations, commentaries and summary studies of the philosophical and religious classics of India.  His masterpiece work can be found in books such as the ‘Bhagavad-Gita As It Is’, ‘Srimad Bhagavatam’ and many more. Indeed, there is no work even comparable in its revelations of man’s essential nature, his environment, and ultimately his relationship with God.  These great literatures are certain to stimulate & enlighten any reader with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
