Teachings of Lord Chaitanya 1968 Edition, First Printing

This 1968 first edition of Teachings of Lord Chaitanya stands as a rare “time capsule” of the early Hare Krishna movement, preserving the original poetic editing and direct collaboration between Srila Prabhupada and his first disciples. Featuring the iconic “Blue Cloth” binding and original artwork, it remains a prized collector’s item for those seeking the unstandardized, foundational prose of the Golden Avatar’s message.

Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is 1968 Abridged Edition

The 1968 Macmillan edition served as the “sugar-coated” introduction to Kṛṣṇa consciousness, condensed to nearly a third of its original size to secure its place with a major Western publisher. While it lacked the technical Sanskrit and full commentaries of the later 1972 release, its commercial success and academic backing successfully paved the way for the unabridged restoration of Srila Prabhupada’s work.

Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is 1972 Unabridged Edition

The 1972 Macmillan edition is a comprehensive 1,008-page masterpiece that presents the Bhagavad-gītā as a rigorous scholarly and devotional work, complete with original Sanskrit Devanāgarī and detailed word-for-word transliterations. Accompanied by 48 classic color plates, this “As It Is” presentation provides Srila Prabhupada’s full, unabridged commentaries designed to lead the reader toward a practical understanding of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.
