Deepening Our Relationship with Srila Prabhupada

Every devotee has a relationship with Srila Prabhupada.

For some, it begins through his books. For others, through his devotees, his lectures, or the temples and communities he established around the world. Yet the more we advance in spiritual life, the more we discover that understanding Srila Prabhupada's unique position and mission is essential for deepening our own devotional practice.

We are delighted to offer a new 16-hour online video course, "Srila Prabhupada: Founder-Acharya of ISKCON," presented by His Grace Suresvara Prabhu.

This course is an invitation to spend time with Srila Prabhupada—studying his position, reflecting on his mission, and discovering what it means to become a faithful servant of his desire.

Throughout ten carefully structured lessons, we will explore not only who Srila Prabhupada is as ISKCON's Founder-Acharya, but also how his teachings, vision, and example continue to guide us today.

The course begins by exploring the principle of the spiritual master and the special role of the Founder-Acharya. As devotees, we inherit an extraordinary spiritual legacy. Understanding that inheritance helps us appreciate more deeply the gift that Srila Prabhupada has given the world.

Srila Prabhupada crossed oceans, faced enormous challenges, and dedicated every moment of his life to fulfilling the order of his spiritual master. His mission was not simply to establish an institution, but to create opportunities for conditioned souls everywhere to reconnect with Krishna.

By examining the roots of his mission, the purpose of ISKCON, and the challenges he entrusted to future generations, we can better understand how our own service fits into his vision.

One of the most inspiring aspects of devotional life is discovering how our individual talents and circumstances can be offered in service to Krishna through Srila Prabhupada's mission.

This course encourages thoughtful reflection on how each of us can contribute meaningfully to the work he began.

The final lessons focus on the heart of devotional life: love expressed through cooperation, gratitude, remembrance, and service.

As our appreciation for Srila Prabhupada grows, our relationship with him naturally becomes more personal, more meaningful, and more transformative.

Participants will also receive access to the downloadable ebook:

Srila Prabhupada – The Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, published by ISKCON GBC Press.

Whether you are new to Krishna consciousness or have been practicing for many years, this course offers an opportunity to reconnect with the personality whose compassion made our spiritual lives possible.

By deepening our understanding of Srila Prabhupada's position, mission, and teachings, we deepen our relationship with him. And by deepening our relationship with him, we move closer to the lotus feet of Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

We warmly invite you to join us on this journey of study, reflection, appreciation, and service.
