125th Appearance Day Celebrations of Srila Prabhupada

A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada - a representative and messenger of Lord Shri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who appeared in this world to save us from the illusion and taught devotion to the whole world in very practical way.

From Life of Srila Prabhupada we can learn, he was literally following the "Simple Living and High Thinking" philosophy in his life. He taught to the whole world by his action, how can we stay in this world peaceful and go back home back to Godhead.

He went to US at the age of 69 to fulfill desire of his spiritual master and spread Love of Krishna to the whole world, because he saw whole world is suffering from tension, anxiety, frustration, lust, anger and greed and people are trying to be happy but they don't know the real formula of the peace.

He struggled too much to reach US and while spreading Krishna Consciousness he sacrifices his health also , he used to sleep only 2 hours in the night and whole night he used to sit and translate the transcendental books.

He translated most popular Vedic Scriptures Srimad Bhagwatam (which is not different from Krishna) and Bhagwad Gita (King of all knowledge).

He established more than 100 temples and wrote more than dozen books to maintain peace and harmony in the people, because in Srimad Bhagwatam it is already mentioned in the age of Kaliyuga people will be quarrel, disturbed and unfortunate but who take shelter of Lord Krishna can stay in this world peacefully.
