1972 Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The first edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is. The vibrant colours of these paintings reflect the excitement of Krishna consciousness's earliest days in the West as Srila Prabhupada directed his early artist disciples how to capture the themes of the Gita.
Bhagavad-gita is the fundamental description of material and spiritual life for Vaisnavas. (All images © BBT International 1978)
1983 Bhagavad-gita As It Is
The second edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is brought with it a new set of paintings, more sophisticated and a little more subdued in colouring.
Bhagavad-gita (lit. Song of God), a philosophical discourse between Krishna and His devotee, Arjuna, is the mostly widely read and accepted of all Vaisnava scriptures. (All images © BBT International 1978)
Light of the Bhagavata
A unique book. Originally written in 1961 for a congress in Japan, it contains a description of Autumn from the Srimad-Bhagavatam. The project didn't reach fruition till the BBT engaged Madame Li Yun Sheng, a master of the Gongbi style, to produce the illustrations. (All images © BBT International 1978)
"Krishna Book", First Edition
Kindly sponsored by George Harrison, the first edition of "Krishna Book" (as the book Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead is popularly known) contains dozens of colour plates. As with the first Bhagavad-gita, the style is simple, the colours bright and the enthusiasm abounds. (All images © BBT International 1978)
Srimad-Bhagavatam Canto One
More than 60 colour plates adorned the three volumes of the 1978 printing of the First Canto. Srimad-Bhagavatam (also known as Bhagavata Purana) is a multi-volume work containing the teachings to Maharaja Pariksit.
Srila Prabhupada described it as the graduate study in spiritual life, for those who have studied Bhagavad-gita. (All images © BBT International 1978)
