How to Celebrate Books Are The Basis Week 2025
7-13 сентября 2025 года
В преддверии Недели «Книги – это основа» 2025 года Министерство образования ИСККОН сердечно приглашает преданных со всего мира объединиться, чтобы отпраздновать основополагающую роль книг Шрилы Прабхупады в нашей духовной жизни и международной миссии сознания Кришны.
“Do You Read?”
Давайте создадим благоприятные условия для проведения фестивальной недели "Книги - это основа", услышав в этом обучающем видеоролике слова нашего любимого Шрилы Прабхупады:
"Я так усердно работаю для вас, но вы не пользуетесь этим преимуществом”.


Books Are The Basis 2025 Theme – The Small Books
Since 2020, the ISKCON Ministry of Education has hosted Books Are the Basis Week to promote a global culture of reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. Each year, we focus on a specific aspect of studying these essential texts.
This year, we are highlighting Śrīla Prabhupāda’s small books, such as The Perfection of Yoga, The Science of Self Realization, Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers, Beyond Birth and Death, Elevation to Krishna Consciousness, and The Teaching of Queen Kunti. The lives of many thousands of people were transformed by reading one of these small books.
The Ministry of Education is organising a series of short inspirational talks led by senior devotees, with each session focused on a different small book. These short videos will be shared throughout the week to inspire everyone.
Global Participation and Activities
During this week, temples, nama-hattas, bhakti-vrikshas and devotee communities across the globe are encouraged to organise:
- Reading Groups and Study Circles: Dive deep into Srila Prabhupada’s books and share realisations.
- Temple Lectures: Highlight the small books in classes and lectures during the festival week.
- Sunday Feast Class: Dedicate a Sunday Feast Class on the importance of reading Srila Prabhupada’s small books during the festival week.
- Seminars and Workshops: Explore the philosophy, pedagogy, and relevance of Prabhupada’s books in today’s world.
- Social Media Campaigns: Use #BooksAreTheBasis to share your experiences of reading Srila Prabhupada’s small books.
A Call to Action
We urge all devotees to make a personal commitment during this week. Whether it’s reading a chapter daily, creating a reading group, or organising a seminar or workshop.
Let us remember: Srila Prabhupada’s books are not only the foundation of ISKCON – they are the foundation of our spiritual lives. By deepening our connection with his writings, we deepen our connection with Krishna.
Together, we can ensure that Srila Prabhupada’s books remain the guiding light for generations to come.
