In 1965, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, at the age of 70, left his native India for the first time, with a mission to introduce to the Western world, the science and art of ‘Bhakti-Yoga’ based on the teachings of Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. Over the next 12 years he would travel the globe tirelessly, speaking & chanting Krishna’s names extensively. He wrote over 70 books (translated into 60 languages) painstakingly to broadcast the Vedic culture and joy of devotion to Sri Krishna.
