Who Was Srila Prabhupad? | The Incredible Life Story of ISKCON’s FounderAcharya #prabhupada #iskcon

Who was Srila Prabhupad? How did an elderly Indian Vaishnava monk, with almost no money and only a handful of books, travel alone to America at the age of 69—and establish a spiritual movement that would reach people across the world? This documentary takes you through the extraordinary life journey of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupad, the Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). From his birth in Calcutta in 1896, his childhood and family life, his meeting with his spiritual master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, and the instruction that changed his life forever—to his years of writing, translating and preparing for a mission that seemed impossible. We follow his historic 1965 voyage aboard the Jaladuta, the hardships he faced on the journey, his arrival in America, the beginning of the Hare Krishna movement, the establishment of ISKCON in New York in 1966, and the rapid spread of Krishna consciousness around the world. The documentary also covers his return to India, the establishment of temples and communities, his monumental literary contribution, his dedication to translating Srimad-Bhagavatam, and his final days in Vrindavan in 1977. Most importantly, this is the story of faith, determination, sacrifice and devotion—and of one spiritual teacher's unwavering attempt to fulfill the instruction of his Guru Maharaja. 🙏 Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare #SrilaPrabhupad #Prabhupad #ISKCON #HareKrishna #KrishnaConsciousness #BhagavadGita #SrimadBhagavatam #SanatanDharma #KrishnaBhakti #ISKCONHistory
