Tapana Miśra Dāsa, Minister of ISKCON’s Ministry of Education, warmly invites devotees worldwide to unite in celebrating the foundational role of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books in our spiritual lives and the global mission of Krishna consciousness through the “Books Are The Basis Week 2025.”
This annual observance, held from September 7th to 13th, is a time to reflect on the transformative power of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s writings, which continue to illuminate hearts, inspire minds, and guide souls toward the eternal truths of the Bhagavad-gītā and Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Books Are The Basis 2025 Theme – The Small Books
Since 2020, the ISKCON Ministry of Education has hosted Books Are the Basis Week to promote a global culture of reading Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books. Each year, we focus on a specific aspect of studying these essential texts.
This year, we are highlighting Śrīla Prabhupāda’s small books, such as The Perfection of Yoga, The Science of Self Realization, Perfect Questions, Perfect Answers, Beyond Birth and Death, Elevation to Krishna Consciousness, and The Teaching of Queen Kunti. The lives of many thousands of people were transformed by reading one of these small books.
The Ministry of Education is organising a series of short inspirational talks led by senior devotees, with each session focused on a different small book. These short videos will be shared throughout the week to inspire everyone.
Please visit iskconeducation.org for resources, event ideas, and promotional materials. Share your local celebrations with us so we can highlight them globally.
