Durante milenios, las ense\u00f1anzas y la rica cultura del bhakti-yoga, o Conciencia de Krishna, estuvieron ocultas dentro de las fronteras de la India. Hoy, millones de personas en todo el mundo expresan su gratitud a Srila Prabhupada por revelar la sabidur\u00eda eterna del bhakti a todos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nacido como Abhay Charan De el 1 de septiembre del a\u00f1o 1896 en Calcuta, de joven se uni\u00f3 al movimiento de desobediencia civil de Mahatma Gandhi. En el a\u00f1o 1922, una reuni\u00f3n con el destacado erudito y l\u00edder espiritual, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, result\u00f3 ser muy influyente en el futuro del joven Abhay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta fue un l\u00edder en la comunidad Gaudiya Vaishnava, que es la tradici\u00f3n monote\u00edsta m\u00e1s amplia dentro de la cultura hind\u00fa. En su primera reuni\u00f3n, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta le pidi\u00f3 a Abhay que lleve las ense\u00f1anzas del Se\u00f1or Krishna al mundo de habla inglesa. Profundamente conmovido por su devoci\u00f3n y sabidur\u00eda, Abhay se convirti\u00f3 en disc\u00edpulo de Srila Bhaktisiddhanta en 1933, y resolvi\u00f3 llevar a cabo la petici\u00f3n de su mentor. Abhay, m\u00e1s tarde conocido por el t\u00edtulo de A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, pas\u00f3 los siguientes 32 a\u00f1os prepar\u00e1ndose para su viaje hacia el oeste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En 1965, a la edad de sesenta y nueve a\u00f1os, Srila Prabhupada rog\u00f3 por un pasaje gratuito y abord\u00f3 un buque de carga, el Jaladhuta, a Nueva York. El viaje result\u00f3 traicionero y sufri\u00f3 dos infartos a bordo. Despu\u00e9s de 35 d\u00edas en el mar, lleg\u00f3 por primera vez a un solitario muelle de Brooklyn con solo siete d\u00f3lares en rupias indias y una caja con sus traducciones de textos sagrados en s\u00e1nscrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En Nueva York, enfrent\u00f3 grandes dificultades y comenz\u00f3 su misi\u00f3n humildemente dando clases sobre el Bhagavad-gita en lofts en Bowery y dirigiendo kirtan (cantos devocionales tradicionales) en Tompkins Square Park. Su mensaje de paz y buena voluntad reson\u00f3 con muchos j\u00f3venes, algunos de los cuales se adelantaron para convertirse en estudiantes serios de la tradici\u00f3n Krishna-bhakti. Con la ayuda de estos estudiantes, Bhaktivedanta Swami alquil\u00f3 una peque\u00f1a tienda en el Lower East Side de Nueva York para usarla como templo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En julio de 1966, Bhaktivedanta Swami estableci\u00f3 la Sociedad Internacional para la Conciencia de Krishna (ISKCON) con el prop\u00f3sito de \"controlar el desequilibrio de valores en el mundo y trabajar por la unidad y la paz reales\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the eleven years that followed, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe 14 times on lecture tours spreading the teachings of Lord Krishna. Men and women from all backgrounds and walks of life came forward to accept his message. With their help, Srila Prabhupada established temples, farm communities, a publishing house, and educational institutions around the world. And, he began what has now become the world\u2019s largest vegetarian food relief program, Hare Krishna Food for Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Con el deseo de nutrir las ra\u00edces de la conciencia de Krishna en su hogar, Srila Prabhupada regres\u00f3 a la India varias veces, donde provoc\u00f3 un avivamiento en la tradici\u00f3n vaishnava. En India, abri\u00f3 docenas de templos, incluidos grandes centros en las ciudades santas de Vrindavana y Mayapur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las contribuciones m\u00e1s significativas de Srila Prabhupada, quiz\u00e1s, son sus libros. Fue autor de m\u00e1s de 70 vol\u00famenes sobre la tradici\u00f3n de Krishna, que son muy respetados por los estudiosos por su autoridad, profundidad, fidelidad a la tradici\u00f3n y claridad. Varias de sus obras se utilizan como libros de texto en numerosos cursos universitarios. Sus escritos han sido traducidos a 76 idiomas. Sus obras m\u00e1s destacadas incluyen: El Bhagavad-gita Tal Como Es, el Srimad-Bhagavatam de 30 vol\u00famenes y el Sri Caitanya-caritamrita de 17 vol\u00famenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FOUNDER ACARYA OF THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR KRSNA CONSCIOUSNESS<\/em><\/p><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For millennia the teachings and the rich culture of bhakti-yoga, or Krishna Consciousness, had been hidden within the borders of India. Today, millions around the globe express their gratitude to Srila Prabhupada for revealing the timeless wisdom of bhakti to a world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Born as Abhay Charan De on September 1, 1896, in Calcutta, as a young man he joined Mahatma Gandhi\u2019s civil disobedience movement. In 1922, a meeting with the prominent scholar and spiritual leader, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, proved to be most influential on young Abhay\u2019s future calling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta was a leader in the Gaudiya Vaishnava community, a monotheistic tradition within the broader Hindu culture. At their very first meeting, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta asked Abhay to bring the teachings of Lord Krishna to the English-speaking world. Deeply moved by his devotion and wisdom, Abhay became a disciple of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta in 1933, and resolved to carry out his mentor\u2019s request. Abhay, later known by the honorific A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, spent the next 32 years preparing for his journey west.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1965, at the age of sixty-nine, Srila Prabhupada begged a free passage and boarded a cargo ship, the Jaladhuta, to New York. The journey proved to be treacherous and he suffered two heart attacks aboard. After 35 days at sea, he first arrived at a lonely Brooklyn pier with just seven dollars in Indian rupees and a crate of his translations of sacred Sanskrit texts.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In New York, he faced great hardships and began his mission humbly by giving classes on the Bhagavad-gita in lofts on the Bowery and leading kirtan (traditional devotional chants) in Tompkins Square Park. His message of peace and goodwill resonated with many young people, some of whom came forward to become serious students of the Krishna-bhakti tradition. With the help of these students, Bhaktivedanta Swami rented a small storefront on New York\u2019s Lower East Side to use as a temple.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In July of 1966, Bhaktivedanta Swami established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) for the purpose he stated of \u201cchecking the imbalance of values in the world and working for real unity and peace\u201d.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the eleven years that followed, Srila Prabhupada circled the globe 14 times on lecture tours spreading the teachings of Lord Krishna. Men and women from all backgrounds and walks of life came forward to accept his message. With their help, Srila Prabhupada established temples, farm communities, a publishing house, and educational institutions around the world. And, he began what has now become the world\u2019s largest vegetarian food relief program, Hare Krishna Food for Life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the desire to nourish the roots of Krishna consciousness in its home, Srila Prabhupada returned to India several times, where he sparked a revival in the Vaishnava tradition. In India, he opened dozens of temples, including large centers in the holy towns of Vrindavana and Mayapura.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Srila Prabhupada\u2019s most significant contributions, perhaps, are his books. He authored over 70 volumes on the Krishna tradition, which are highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, fidelity to the tradition, and clarity. Several of his works are used as textbooks in numerous college courses. His writings have been translated into 76 languages. His most prominent works include: Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the 30-volume Srimad-Bhagavatam, and the 17-volume Sri Caitanya-caritamrita.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada passed away on November 14, 1977, in the holy town of Vrindavana, surrounded by his loving disciples who carry on his mission today.<\/p>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
