Srila Prabhupada Books

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.
