FOUNDER ACHARYAHis Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896-1977) is widely regarded as the foremost Vedic scholar, translator, and teacher of the modern era. He is especially respected as the world’s most prominent contemporary authority on bhakti-yoga, devotional service to the Supreme Person, Sri Krishna, as taught by the ancient Vedic writings of India. He is also the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.
Srila Prabhupada, as he is known to his followers, translated and commented over eighty volumes of the Vedas’ most important sacred bhakti texts, including the Bhagavad-gita—a concise handbook for understanding the purpose and goal of human life—and the multi-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam—an epic biography of Krishna, Krishna’s avatars, and His many devotees throughout the history of the universe.
For six decades, ISKCON has carried the teachings of Lord Krishna across continents, cultures, and generations.
This 60th anniversary is more than a celebration — it is a tribute to service, sacrifice, and spiritual transformation, and a commitment to carrying Srila Prabhupada’s mission forward with renewed vision.
Humbly dedicated to Srila Prabhupada, whose compassion, courage, and faith ignited a global spiritual movement.
From a spiritual perspective, kirtan is not just music—it’s a method of connection. The repetition of divine names is understood to focus the mind, open the heart, and dissolve the sense of separation between the individual and the Divine. Rather than approaching spirituality through intellectual analysis or strict discipline, kirtan emphasizes feeling, surrender, and direct emotional experience.
