A lifetime of service
In 1965, Śrīla Prabhupāda traveled from India to the United States to share the teachings of Kṛṣṇa and the practice of bhakti. He founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness in New York in 1966. Through his books, classes and personal example, he made the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava tradition accessible to people around the world.
He translated and commented on essential texts, including Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam and Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta. He established temples and communities, inspired book distribution, public kīrtana, prasāda distribution and devotional education, and entrusted his followers with carrying this mission forward.
Within ISKCON, Śrīla Prabhupāda is the preeminent śikṣā-guru for all members. His books, teachings, service and society provide a living connection with him.
