The first edition of Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto One in Turkish has recently been published after years of dedicated effort. This project was led by Nrsimha Krishna Das and his wife, Krsnamala Devi of ISKCON Turkiye. The new volume was recently presented to their spiritual master, Sivarama Swami, at New Vraja-dhama in Hungary.
Nrsimha Krishna Das, who serves as the Zonal Supervisor for ISKCON Turkiye, has been instrumental in steering this ambitious project. Based in Istanbul, he oversees all ISKCON activities across Turkiye. In a recent interview, he shared insights into the journey, challenges, and triumphs involved in bringing the Srimad-Bhagavatam to Turkish readers.
Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, Nrsimha Krishna said, “What motivates me actually is to please Srila Prabhupada and my Guru Maharaj. It’s my life and soul to have Prabhupada’s books in Turkish and distribute them in the country or Turkish-speaking areas.” His vision was also fueled by the profound impact that Prabhupada’s teachings had on his own life and the desire to share that wisdom with Turkish-speaking people who may not be fluent in English.
