Srila Prabhupada Books

 

Information – On right of Srila Prabhupada Murti is a display of his books that have been translated into many languages.
The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT) is the world’s largest publisher of ancient and classic Vaishnava texts, epics, and contemporary works on the philosophy, theology, and culture of bhakti-yoga and personalist theology. It was founded in 1972 by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The BBT especially emphasizes the works of the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
Its publications include original scriptural works, currently translated into 87 languages, with more languages being added regularly, and books that discuss and explain these traditional texts. BBT also publishes digital audio, video, and multimedia presentations.
Srila Prabhupada took book publication seriously, having been ordered by his own spiritual master to print books “if he ever got money.” He intended the BBT to publish his writings with the highest editorial standards possible, as well as to ensure the future growth of the worldwide Krishna consciousness movement by providing funds—through the printing and sale of his books—for temple construction and renovation.

Religion without philosophy is sentiment, or sometimes fanaticism, while philosophy without religion is mental speculation. The ultimate goal is Kṛṣṇa, because the philosophers who are also sincerely searching after the Absolute Truth come in the end to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This is also stated in the Bhagavad-gītā. The whole process is to understand the real position of the self in relation to the Superself.
(BG 3.3 purport)
