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 the world.
Śrīla Prabhupāda did not simply carry the message of Lord Caitanya and Lord Krishna to us. While that in itself is a glorious task, Śrīla Prabhupāda, as the Founder-Ācārya, created the very foundation, function and vision of ISKCON as a global community aiming for the “respiritualization of the entire human society.” Śrīla Prabhupāda’s role, is ongoing. His presence is to be felt in the life of every ISKCON devotee today, and in the lives of devotees many centuries into the future. Understanding how Śrīla Prabhupāda is in the center of our lives and our society, and knowing how to keep him in that essential role, is the purpose of this course.

About the Speaker:
and received 1 st and 2 nd initiations from Srila Prabhupada in 1971 &
1972. Over the years Suresvara’s service has centered around Prabhupada’s
books—studying them, distributing them, helping to produce them,
writing articles based on them, and now, teaching from them.
In 2011, while teaching at the Mayapur Institute for Higher Education, his
concern over the lack of connection many younger devotees were
feeling for our founder-acarya reached a tipping point, so that year he
began researching and presenting the seminar, “Srila Prabhupada, Our
Founder-Acarya.”
With the encouragement of the Mayapur Institute and the GBC
committee, “Srila Prabhupada’s Position,” Suresvara has been traveling
the ISKCON world with the founder-acarya series since 2011, helping
devotees deepen their relationship with, commitment to, and love for our
beloved founder-acarya, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada.
