<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDurante mil\u00e9nios, os ensinamentos e a rica cultura de bhakti-yoga, ou Consci\u00eancia de Krishna, estiveram escondidos dentro das fronteiras da \u00cdndia. Hoje, milh\u00f5es de pessoas ao redor do mundo expressam sua gratid\u00e3o a Srila Prabhupada por revelar a sabedoria atemporal de bhakti ao mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nascido como Abhay Charan De em 1\u00ba de setembro de 1896, em Calcut\u00e1, ainda jovem juntou-se ao movimento de desobedi\u00eancia civil de Mahatma Gandhi. Em 1922, um encontro com o proeminente estudioso e l\u00edder espiritual, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, provou ser muito influente na futura voca\u00e7\u00e3o do jovem Abhay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta foi um l\u00edder da comunidade Gaudiya Vaishnava, uma tradi\u00e7\u00e3o monote\u00edsta dentro da cultura hindu mais ampla. No seu primeiro encontro, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta pediu a Abhay que trouxesse os ensinamentos do Senhor Krishna para os pa\u00edses de l\u00edngua inglesa. Profundamente comovido por sua devo\u00e7\u00e3o e sabedoria, Abhay tornou-se disc\u00edpulo de Srila Bhaktisiddhanta em 1933 e resolveu atender ao pedido de seu mentor. Abhay, mais tarde conhecido pelo honor\u00edfico A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada passou os 32 anos seguintes se preparando para sua jornada ao Ocidente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Em 1965, aos sessenta e nove anos, Srila Prabhupada implorou por passagem gratuita e embarcou em um navio cargueiro, o Jaladuta, para Nova York. A viagem revelou-se trai\u00e7oeira e ele sofreu dois ataques card\u00edacos a bordo. Depois de 35 dias no mar, ele chegou a um cais solit\u00e1rio no Brooklyn com apenas sete d\u00f3lares em r\u00fapias indianas e uma caixa com suas tradu\u00e7\u00f5es de textos sagrados em s\u00e2nscrito.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Em Nova York, ele enfrentou grandes dificuldades e come\u00e7ou sua miss\u00e3o humildemente, dando aulas do Bhagavad-gita em um s\u00f3t\u00e3o no Bowery e conduzindo kirtan (c\u00e2nticos devocionais tradicionais) no Tompkins Square Park. A sua mensagem de paz e boa vontade ressoou em muitos jovens, alguns dos quais se tornaram estudantes s\u00e9rios da tradi\u00e7\u00e3o Krishna-bhakti. Com a ajuda desses estudantes, Bhaktivedanta Swami alugou uma pequena loja no Lower East Side de Nova York para usar como templo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Em julho de 1966, Bhaktivedanta Swami estabeleceu a Sociedade Internacional para a Consci\u00eancia de Krishna (ISKCON) com o prop\u00f3sito, segundo ele, de \u201cverificar o desequil\u00edbrio de valores no mundo e trabalhar pela verdadeira unidade e paz\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nos onze anos que se seguiram, Srila Prabhupada deu 14 voltas ao redor do globo em palestras espalhando os ensinamentos do Senhor Krishna. Homens e mulheres de todas as origens e estilos de vida se apresentaram para aceitar sua mensagem. Com a ajuda deles, Srila Prabhupada estabeleceu templos, comunidades agr\u00edcolas, uma editora e institui\u00e7\u00f5es educacionais em todo o mundo. E ele deu in\u00edcio ao que hoje se tornou o maior programa de ajuda alimentar vegetariana do mundo, o Hare Krishna Food for Life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Com o desejo de nutrir as ra\u00edzes da consci\u00eancia de Krishna em seu lar, Srila Prabhupada retornou diversas vezes \u00e0 \u00cdndia, onde provocou um renascimento na tradi\u00e7\u00e3o Vaishnava. Na \u00cdndia, ele abriu dezenas de templos, incluindo grandes centros nas cidades sagradas de Vrindavana e Mayapur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As contribui\u00e7\u00f5es mais significativas de Srila Prabhupada, talvez, sejam seus livros. Ele \u00e9 autor de mais de 70 volumes sobre a tradi\u00e7\u00e3o de Krishna, que s\u00e3o altamente respeitados pelos estudiosos por sua autoridade, profundidade, fidelidade \u00e0 tradi\u00e7\u00e3o e clareza. V\u00e1rias de suas obras s\u00e3o usadas como livros did\u00e1ticos em muitos cursos universit\u00e1rios. Seus escritos foram traduzidos para 76 idiomas. Suas obras mais proeminentes incluem: o Bhagavad Gita como ele \u00e9, o Srimad-Bhagavatam de 30 volumes e o Sri Caitanya-Caritamrita de 17 volumes.<\/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 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 <\/p>\r\n","_et_gb_content_width":"","_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-178","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false,"et-pb-post-main-image":false,"et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-module-image":false,"et-pb-portfolio-image-single":false,"et-pb-gallery-module-image-portrait":false,"et-pb-post-main-image-fullwidth-large":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--desktop":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--tablet":false,"et-pb-image--responsive--phone":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/iskconeducation.org\/pt\/author\/admin\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Founder Acarya of International Society for Krishna Consciousness For millennia the teachings and the rich culture of bhakti-yoga, or Krishna Consciousness, had been hidden within the borders of India.
