Contemporary Vedic Library Series

The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust Contemporary Vedic Library series explores subjects of current interest from the perspective of the timeless knowledge of India’s Vedic wisdom.

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, founder-ācārya (spiritual master) of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, established the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust in 1970 to present Vedic literatures, as received through the authorized disciplic succession, to the people of the modern age. For the first time in history, through Śrīla Prabhupāda’s translations and commentaries, the world’s most profound philosophical tradition soon began to have a major impact upon a widespread Western audience. Hundreds of scholars worldwide have reviewed Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books, acclaiming his consummate erudition and devotion to the original Sanskrit texts, as well as his unique ability to communicate the most profound and subtle philosophical subjects in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The Encyclopaedia Britannica reported that his voluminous translations from the original Sanskrit and his lucid commentaries “have astounded literary and academic communities worldwide.”

Vedic knowledge has been a source of inner peace, profound wisdom, and spiritual inspiration for millions of people since the dawn of time. The Contemporary Vedic Library editions have been designed to demonstrate practically how this transcendental knowledge, when properly applied, will become a key factor in surmounting the myriad problems facing modern man as we approach the twenty-first century.
