About ISKCON





ISKCON

The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) is a branch of the monotheistic Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition within Hinduism dating back 5000 years to Lord Krishna Himself. ISKCON was established in the West in 1966 by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (Srila Prabhupada) and has since developed into a worldwide confederation of over 500 temples, centers, communities, schools, and restaurants with some 250,000 devotees.
The mission of this nonsectarian, monotheistic movement is to promote the well-being of society by teaching the science of Krishna consciousness according to Bhagavad-gita and other ancient scriptures.


BBT Books

Bhaktivedanta Book Trust (BBT) is the world's largest publisher of classic Vaishnava texts and contemporary works on the philosophy, theology and culture of Bhakti yoga. Its publications include traditional scriptures translated into 57 languages and books that explain these texts. The BBT also publishes audiobooks and eBooks. BBT titles range in complexity from brief, introductory volumes and summary studies all the way up to exhaustive multi-volume translations.
Srila Prabhupada formed the BBT to act as the publisher for his books, with proceeds going to print more books and establish centers for Krishna consciousness throughout the world.  Some of them are shown here.
