"Books are the basis of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement," Śrīla Prabhupāda often said. Here we see him (1) studying the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Nairobi 1975; (2) inspecting an early Bhaktivedanta Book Trust pressroom, New York 1971; (3) translating the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, New York 1974; (4) viewing the work of the BBT art academy, New York 1974; and (5) examining a newly printed volume of the Bhāgavatam, Los Angeles 1976. Over a twelve-year period Śrīla Prabhupāda left the world more than eighty books on the science of self-realization (6). His books have already been translated into twenty-five major languages.
