The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust was established in 1972 as the authorized publisher and distributor of the works of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada, as he is known, is today recognized by the academic community as the principal scholarly authority on Vedic literature and philosophy. Born September 1, 1896, in Calcutta, India, he was educated at Scottish Churches College in Calcutta. Because Srila Prabhupada was trained in Sanskrit and Vedic knowledge from his early childhood, his writings are based in an ancient tradition founded on devotion to Lord Krishna.

Throughout his life in India, Srila Prabhupada wrote prolifically, receiving the title Bhaktivedanta in recognition of the depth of scholarship and devotion in his works. In 1944 he started Back To Godhead magazine. During the late 1950's he began the great work of his life, a translation of and commentary on the Bhagavata Purana. After completing several volumes of this work, in 1965 he traveled to the United States to spread the teaching of Vedas.

Despite Srila Prabhupada's advanced age, in just 12 years, from 1965 to his passing in 1977, his literary and religious contributions to the world accelerated dramatically. He established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, a world-wide organization of temples and farm communities, circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents, and wrote over sixty books on the science of Krishna consciousness. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature, and culture.
