Founder Acharya of ISKCON His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

The BBT was founded in 1970 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977), the founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. Srila Prabhupada—as he’s known to his followers—translated and commented on over eighty volumes of the Vedas’ most important sacred bhakti texts, including the Bhagavad-gita—Krishna’s compact tutorial on achieving perfection in life—and the multi-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam—an encyclopedic account of Krishna’s many incarnations and devotees in the history of the universe.
