Who is Srila Prabhupāda?

Authorized and empowered

In 1965, at the advanced age of 70 years, Srila Prabhupada traveled from India to USA. He carried little more than his faith in the Holy Names of Krsna and the 1st Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. The following 12 years, Srila Prabhupada translated and commented on over 50 volumes of Vedic literature. The authority to write, teach, and train students in the science of God was given to him by his guru Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja (1874-1937), coming in the disciplic succession from Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu (1486-1534), an incarnation of Lord Krsna. Srila Prabhupada also founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
