Bhaktivedanta Book Trust
The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust was established in 1972 to publish his works, and it has also published his multi-volume biography, "Srila Prabhupada-lilamrta", that according to Larry Shinn, will "certainly be one of the most complete records of the life and work of any modern religious figure". Prabhupada reminded his devotees before his death that he would live forever in his books, and through them would remain present as a spiritual master ("guru"). Bhaktivedanta Swami had instilled in his followers an understanding of the importance of writing and publishing not only with regard to his works, but also their own initiatives. His early disciples felt Prabhupada had given them "Back To Godhead" for their own writings from the very start.
