OUR TEACHERS
A.C. Bhaktivedanta
Swami Prabhupada
Srila Prabhupada (1896–1977) was the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and the foremost teacher of Bhakti-yoga in the Western world. Born in Calcutta, he met his spiritual teacher Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati, who urged him to share Krishna’s teachings in English. Although devoted to Krishna from birth, it wasn't until 1965, at the age of 70, that he traveled to the West to fulfill this mission—bringing timeless spiritual wisdom to a global audience.
Bill W.
Bill W. (1895–1971) co-founded Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the first twelve-step program created in the 1930s to help people recover from alcoholism. His work inspired a global movement of mutual aid groups supporting recovery from addiction and compulsion. The twelve steps guide individuals through surrendering to a Higher Power, self-reflection, making amends, and helping others on the same path.
om ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā
cakșur unmīlitam yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaha
I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who with the torchlight of knowledge has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance.
