Of all his many contributions, Srila Prabhupada considered
his books most important. In fact, he would often describe his work of translating and explaining the ancient Vedic texts
as his very life and soul.
In 1970, Srila Prabhupada founded the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust. Through its work
over the last quarter of a century, millions of people have read at least one of Srila Prabhupada's books and have felt their
lives genuinely enriched.
Here is a brief introduction of what you will find within
these books:
- Spiritual knowledge that is both practical and profound.
The answers to the questions many of us ask at different
times in our lives: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life?
Concepts of psychology, love, art, cosmology, health, yoga,
architecture, science and more.
Daily guidance in your spiritual journey.
Information from a civilization, unlike today's, that
was dedicated solely to spiritual progress. So you'll get a cultural, social context you can draw into your own contemporary
life.

By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The largest-selling edition of the Gita in the Western world, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with
knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better.
Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna,
or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness,
the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers
for centuries.
In translating the Gita, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning
of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us
as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment. Hardbound, 924 pages 16 color plates, 5.5 by 9.5
inches.

Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana) with original Sanskrit verses, word translations, translation and commentary by A. C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and disciples. Srimad-Bhagavatam is the natural commentary upon Vedanta-Sutra by the same author,
Srila Vyasadeva. Vedanta Sutra is a succint but dense summary of the essence of all the Vedic literatures. In Srimad-Bhagavatam
Srila Vyasadeva unpacks these aphorisms so that any sincere reader can easily relate to the highest spiritual truths and apply
them practically in life. Therefore, Srimad Bhagavatam is called the ripened fruit of the desire tree of Vedic knowledge,
which is extremely relishable by everyone, including liberated souls.
Eighteen hard-cover volumes, translated by Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and disciples. With color dustjackets, 200+
color plates, Sanskrit texts, transliterations, translations, purports, and indices; about 1,000 pages per volume.

By His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
Sri Caitanya-caritamrta is the main work on the life and teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the incarnation of Krishna
who appeared in India five hundred years ago. Lord Chaitanya introduced the chanting of the holy names of God as the prescribed
method of God-realization for our time. He began what is today called the Hare Krishna movement, since the movement's founder,
Srila Prabhupada, comes in the Chaitanya line of spiritual masters.
Lord Chaitanya transformed the face of India in four respects: philosophically, by encountering, defeating and converting
the greatest philosophers and thinkers of His day; religiously, by organizing the largest, most widespread theistic movement
in India's history; socially, by His strong challenges to the religious inequities of the caste system; politically, by His
organization of a massive civil disobedience movement in Bengal, more than four centuries before Gandhi.
This English translation with commentary, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, reveals his consummate
Bengali and Sanskrit scholarship, his intimate familiarity with the precepts of Sri Chaitanya, and his pure devotion to God.
Hardbound, nine volumes, complete set or individual, Over 7,300 pages, 6.50" x 9.50"
