My Sweet Lord (Video) (February 7, 2010): "I wanted to show that Hallelujah and Hare Krishna are quite the same thing. I did the voices singing 'Hallelujah' and then the change to 'Hare Krishna' so that people would be chanting the maha-mantra before they knew what was going on! I had been chanting Hare Krishna for a long time, and this song was a simple idea of how to do a Western pop equivalent of a mantra which repeats over and over again the holy names. I don't feel guilty or bad about it; in fact it saved many a heroin addict's life."

The lotus flower (Video) (February 5, 2010): "Krishna's navel resembles a lotus. He is garlanded with lotuses. Krishna's eyes are compared with the petals of lotus flowers (alola-candraka-lasad-vanamalya-vamsi, Bs. 5.31).

Stop the construction of an unnecessary bridge in Vrindavan (Petition) (01/25/2010): "Respected Sirs, We demand the immediate stop of the building of the bridge around Keshi Gath.

Help From Friend In The Heart (Lecture) (January 24, 2010): "I have not bribed all these American and European boys to become Krsna conscious. I have no money.

I was reading Bhagavad-gita on the street, on the store, in the park, and chanting. They heard, and they came to me. They became attracted. Why? Because it is said here, hrdy antah-sthah.

Turn the Material World Into Vrindavan (Lecture) (January 22, 2010): "If you make your decision to make Krsna's desire fulfilled, then your life is successful. That is our Krsna conscious life. 'Krsna wants it; I must do it. I will not do anything for me.' That is Vrindavan. All the inhabitants of Vrindavan, they are trying to fulfill Krsna's desire. The cowherds boys, the calves, the cows, the trees, the flowers, the water, the gopis, the elderly inhabitants, mother Yasoda, Nanda, they are all engaged in fulfilling Krsna's desire. That is Vrindavan. So you can turn this material world into Vrindavan provided you agree to fulfill the desires of Krsna. That is Vrindavan. And if you want to fulfill your own desires, that is material. This is the difference between material and spiritual."
.

In this age, there is no other way, that you will feel when you take to chanting without any offense. Very simple thing. You haven't got to spend any money for this chanting. Neither we are charging. We are simply distributing this knowledge, and chant Hare Krishna mantra. All problems will be solved."
.
Srila Prabhupada Chanting Hare Krishna (Video) (January 21, 2010): "Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare/ Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare is a sound that is non-different from Krishna. The sound Krishna and the original Krishna are the same. There are things that we hear but do not see -- the wind may be whistling past our ears, and we can hear it, but there is no possibility of seeing the wind. Since hearing is no less an important experience or valid one than seeing, we can hear Krishna and realize His presence through sound."

Krishna's Special Favor (Conversation) (January 17, 2010): "Even if you get next life birth in a rich man's family, that is not guarantee. Because generally, rich man's sons, they go astray. They get money for nothing and they want to squander it. And material world, if you have got money, so many bad associates will come and help you to squander your money and spoil your life. Because you have got money, then so many friends will come. As soon as you have no money, nobody will come. Even your wife, children will not come. Therefore harisye tad dhanam sanaih. Krsna, first of all, takes away the money, makes him poor so that everyone will neglect him, and because he's Krsna conscious, he'll take Krsna, 'Sir, I have no other alternative. Please give me protection.' That is also another Krsna's policy, special favor, that 'This man wanted Me. Now he's going astray. All right. That's all right. Take everything of his...'"

Introduction Speech By Dr. Kapoor and Conversation, 1972 (January 16, 2010): "This is really a rare moment in history, for the first time in the history of the world, for the first time at least living memory, Vaisnavism, the message of Vaisnavism, the message of Mahaprabhu, the message of devotion and of pure devotion has been carried to the west and carried so successfully. I am sure that historians of the future will have a lot to say about Prabhupada and his movement, and they will be even envious of us for living in a time when this movement was begun and for participating in it. I have a secret realization that at this moment, while we are welcoming Prabhupada, Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, Sri Krsnadasa Kaviraja, whose samadhis signify their eternal presence in the sacred precincts of this temple, are also joining us in welcoming Prabhupada, and they are showering their choicest blessings upon him."
.
Photo Album #685 (January 16, 2010): "After my retirement, I was living in the Kesi-ghata, Nathagrama, Radha-Krsna Temple. But this Gosaiji, Gauracanda Gosaiji, he asked me, 'Why don't you come here?' So I left that place. I came here. And with some arrangement, I took this room. But I was always thinking that 'Guru Maharaja asked me, and he asked also some of my other God-brothers, but up till now, nothing has been done. So let me try, at least, at the fag end of my life."
.
Deities #567 (January 16, 2010): "All glories to Radharani! She is so dear to Krsna. Everyone is trying to love Krsna, but Krsna is trying to love Radha. Just imagine how great She is? Krsna prema is so valuable, but Krsna is after Radharani. She is so great. We have to offer Her our respects. Of all the young girls, Radha is the most beautiful. She always dresses so nicely that Damodara is attracted by Her beauty. If you go to Vrindavan you will find everyone worshiping Radharani. All the devotees in Vrindavan worship Radharani. The pure devotees pray to Radharani, 'O my worshipable Radharani! You are so full of mercy. I am begging for Your mercy.'"

Vrindavan is Village Life (Lecture) (January 14, 2010): "So Vrndavana is village life. It is not a town like Los Angeles. It is village. It is village, and they are always taking pleasure on the bank of Yamuna. Yamuna-tira-vana-cari. And there are very nice gardens on the bank of the Yamuna. And whenever there is some danger... Of course, in the original Vrndavana there is no question of danger. It is blissful, transcendental abode. But when Krsna comes down to show us the replica of the original Vrndavana... That Vrndavana is there on this planet in India, about ninety miles from New Delhi. It is exactly the same Vrndavana, but because it is on this material world, it appears that there is sometimes danger. So when Krsna was present on this earth, on this planet, so there was some danger. Actually there was no danger because Krsna was present. But it appeared like that."

Photo Album #684 (January 14, 2010): "As soon as there is atomic bomb, everything, all civilization on the surface of the globe will be finished. So people may not like it. It may be very unpalatable, but the fact is like that. Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat ma bruyat satyam abruyat. It is social convention that if you want to speak truth, you speak truth very palatable, flattering. Don't speak unpalatable truth. But we are not meant for that purpose, social convention. We are preacher, we are servant of God. We must speak the real truth. You may like it or may not like it, that a godless civilization cannot be happy in any stage. That is a fact. Therefore we have started this Krsna consciousness movement to awaken this godless civilization, that you try to love God. This is the simple fact."

*Become Very Eager To See Krsna (Lecture) (January 13, 2010): "My dear friend, there is one boy. His name is Govinda. He is standing on the bank of Yamuna near the Kesi-ghata, and He's playing on His flute. And He's so beautiful that especially during full moon night, please do not go there." (laughter) Why? 'Now, because if you have got intention to enjoy in this material world with your family members, wife, children, husband, please do not go there.' Smeran bhangi-traya-paricitam saci-vistirna-drstim. Bhangi-traya. 'Krsna always stands in three-curved way with His flute. That is Krsna's tri-bhanga-murari.' Tri-bhanga. Three places, He is bent."
.
Kesi Ghat in Vrindavana (Video) (January 13, 2010): "All glories to Kesi-ghata, where Krsna killed the Kesi demon. All glories to the Vamsi-vata tree, where Krsna attracted all the gopis to come by playing His flute. Glories to all of the twelve forests of Vraja. At these places the son of Nanda, Sri Krsna, performed all of His pastimes."
.
Deities #565 (January 13, 2010): "All glories to the place where the rasa dance of Sri Krsna was performed. All glories to Radha and Syama. All glories, all glories to the divine rasa dance, which is the most beautiful of all Lord Krsna's pastimes. All glories, all glories to the mellow of conjugal love, which is the most excellent of all rasas and is propagated in Vraja by Sri Krsna in the form of the divine parakiya-bhava [paramour love]."
.
Photo Album #683 (January 13, 2010): "The places in the eighty-four-square-mile district of Mathura are so beautifully situated on the banks of the River Yamuna that anyone who goes there will never want to return to this material world. These statements by Rupa Gosvami are factually realized descriptions of Mathura and Vrindavana. All these qualities prove that Mathura and Vrindavana are situated transcendentally. Otherwise, there would be no possibility of invoking our transcendental sentiments in these places. Such transcendental feelings are aroused immediately and without fail after one arrives in Mathura or Vrindavana."
.
Vrindavana Kartik (Video) (January 13, 2010): "As in the other months of the year, you can also enjoy the wonderful darshan of the Deities and the ecstatic kirtans in the Temple right through the day. Particularly in the month of Kartik, you can experience the bliss of offering a lamp to the Dieties while singing Damodarastakam every evening in the temple."
.
Vrindavan Land of Krsna (Video) (January 12, 2010): "At journey’s end Narottama das Thakura's song, Spring in Vrindavan, evokes the spirit of the sacred forest of Vrindavan, the eternal home of Krishna and His beloved Radha."
.
.
Yamuna Sunrise (Video) (January 12, 2010): "All glories to Radha and Krsna and the divine forest of Vrndavana. All glories to the three presiding Deities of Vrndavana-Sri Govinda, Gopinatha, and Madana-mohana. All glories to Syama-kunda, Radha-kunda, Govardhana Hill, and the Yamuna River (Kalindi). All glories to the great forest known as Mahavana, where Krsna and Balarama displayed all of Their childhood pastimes. All glories to Kesi-ghata, where Krsna killed the Kesi demon."
.
.
"Materialists consider Vrindavana-dhama an unclean city because there are many monkeys and dogs there, and along the bank of the Yamuna there is refuse. Some time ago, a materialistic man asked me, 'Why are you living in Vrindavana? Why have you selected such a dirty place to live after retiring?' Such a person cannot understand that the earthly Vrindavana-dhama is always a representation of the original Vrindavana-dhama. Consequently Vrindavana-dhama is as worshipable as Lord Krishna."
.
Vrindavan Dhama Parikrama (Video) (January 11, 2010): "To live in Vrndavana is the highest perfection and to grow up in Vrndavana the greatest fortune. Even to live in Mathura-mandala for a fortnight guarantees one liberation."
.
Deities #564 (January 11, 2010): "Although it is very difficult to enter into the Radha-Krishna pastimes, most of the devotees of Vrindavana are attracted to the radha-krishna-lila. However, since Nitai-Gauracandra are direct incarnations of Balarama and Krishna, we can be directly in touch with Lord Balarama and Lord Krishna through Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu. Those who are highly elevated in Krishna consciousness can enter into the pastimes of Radha-Krishna through the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It is said, sri-krishna-caitanya radha-krishna nahe anya: 'Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is a combination of Radha and Krishna.'"
.
Photo Album #682 (January 11, 2010): "Govinda resides eternally in Vrndavana. In the spiritual world of Vrndavana the buildings are made of touchstone, the cows are known as surabhi cows, givers of abundant milk, and the trees are known as wish-fulfilling trees, for they yield whatever one desires. In Vrndavana Krsna herds the surabhi cows, and He is worshiped by hundreds and thousands of Gopis, cowherd girls, who are all goddesses of fortune. When Krsna descends to the material world, this same Vrndavana descends just as an entourage accompanies an important personage. Because when Krsna comes, His land also comes, Vrndavana is not considered to exist in the material world. Therefore devotees take shelter of the Vrndavana in India, for it is considered to be a replica of the original Vrndavana."
.
Morning in Vrindavan (Video) (January 10, 2010): "Morning bells ring and the garland wallas are setting up for another day of glorifying Lord Sri Krishna in His Deity form at the Krishna-Balaram Mandir in the holy town of Vrindavan, India."
.
On the way to Madan Mohan Mandir (Video) (January 10, 2010): "Out of many kinds of devotees of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the one who is attracted to the original form of the Lord, Krishna in Vrindavana, is considered to be the foremost, first-class devotee. Such a devotee is never attracted by the opulences of Vaikuntha, or even of Dvaraka, the royal city where Krishna ruled. The conclusion of Sri Rupa Gosvami is that the devotees who are attracted by the pastimes of the Lord in Gokula, or Vrindavana, are the topmost devotees."
.
Deities #563 (January 10, 2010): "After taking bath in the Yamuna, Lord Balarama, dressed in blue garments and decorated with golden ornaments, looked very attractive to everyone. Lord Balarama's complexion is white, and when He was properly dressed He looked exactly like the white elephant of King Indra in the heavenly planets. The river Yamuna still has many small branches due to being scratched by the plowshare of Lord Balarama. And all these branches of the river Yamuna still glorify the omnipotency of Lord Balarama."
.
Photo Album #681 (January 10, 2010): "In a holy place like Vrindavana, there are many devotees constantly engaged in chanting and hearing the glories of the Lord. If one gets the chance to hear from pure devotees in such a place, allowing the constant flow of the river of nectar to come from the mouths of pure devotees, then the cultivation of Krishna consciousness becomes very easy. When one is engaged in constantly hearing the glories of the Lord, he certainly rises above the bodily conception."
.
.
The Seven Temples of Vrindavana, Part 2 (Video) (January 9, 2010): "In our Krishna consciousness movement we therefore invite all the elderly persons of the world to come to Vrindavana and stay there in retired life, making advancement in spiritual consciousness, Krishna consciousness."
.
Deities #562 (January 9, 2010): "Radha and Krishna are one and the same, but They have assumed two bodies. Thus They enjoy each other, tasting the mellows of love."
.
Photo Album #680 (January 9, 2010): "Cultivating Krishna consciousness in Vrindavana is the best means of being liberated from material bondage, for in Vrindavana one can automatically meditate upon Krishna. Vrindavana has many temples, and in one or more of these temples one may see the form of the Supreme Lord as Radha-Krishna or Krishna-Balarama and meditate upon this form."
.
Jaya Radhe Jaya Krsna by Srila Prabhupada (Audio) (January 9, 2010): "jaya radhe, jaya krsna, jaya vrndavan/ sri-govinda, gopinatha, madana-mohan/ syama-kunda, radha-kunda, giri-govardhan/ kalindi jamuna jaya, jaya mahavan/ kesi-ghata, bamsi-bata, dwadasa-kanan/ jaha saba lila koilo sri-nanda-nandan."
.
Killing the Kesi Demon (January 8, 2010): "After being instructed by Kamsa, the demon Kesi assumed the form of a terrible horse. He entered the area of Vrndavana, his great mane flying and his hooves digging up the earth. He began to whinny and terrify the whole world. Krsna saw that the demon was terrifying all the residents of Vrndavana with his whinnying and his tail wheeling in the sky like a big cloud. Krsna could understand that the horse was challenging Him to fight. The Lord accepted his challenge and stood before the Kesi demon."
.

Kesi Ghat, Vrindavan, India (Photos) (January 8, 2010): Pictures of the holy place now under siege. "In the Lalita-madhava, Rupa Gosvami explains that the movements of Krsna’s eyebrows are just like the Yamuna, and the smiling of Radharani is just like the moonshine. When the Yamuna and the moonshine come in contact on the bank of the river, the water tastes just like nectar, and drinking it gives great satisfaction. It is as cooling as piles of snow."
.
Evening at the Yamuna (Video) (January 8, 2010): "O River Yamuna, you are the blissful spiritual water that gives love to the son of Nanda Maharaja. You are the same as the water of the spiritual world, for you can vanquish all our offenses and the sinful reactions incurred in life. You are the creator of all auspicious things for the world. O daughter of the sun-god, kindly purify us by your pious activities."
.
Vrindavan Land of Krishna (Video) (January 7, 2010): The history and meaning of Vrindavan: "Vrindavan in India, close to the Taj Mahal, is the place where Lord Krishna spent His childhood. This film gives some background on Krishna and shows some of the pastimes He performed when He was a young boy."
.
Deities #561 (January 7, 2010): "In the Third Chapter of this epic, Srila Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami has explicitly accepted the fact that Krishna appears in this material world at the end of the Dvapara age of the twenty-eighth catur-yuga of Vaivasvata Manu and brings with Him His Vrajadhama, which is the eternal abode of His highest pastimes. As the Lord appears by His own internal potency, so He also brings all His paraphernalia by the same internal potency, without extraneous help."
.
Photo Album #679 (January 7, 2010): "Srila Jiva Gosvami has elaborately discussed the hladini potency in his Priti-sandarbha. He says that the Vedas clearly state, 'Only devotional service can lead one to the Personality of Godhead. Only devotional service can help a devotee meet the Supreme Lord face to face. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is attracted by devotional service, and as such the ultimate supremacy of Vedic knowledge rests in knowing the science of devotional service.'"
.
Sri Sri Sad-Gosvami-Astaka (Audio) (January 7, 2010): "I offer my respectful obeisances unto the six Gosvamis, namely Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, and Sri Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who are always engaged in chanting the holy name of Krishna and dancing. They are just like the ocean of love of God, and they are popular both with the gentle and with the ruffians, because they are not envious of anyone. Whatever they do, they are all-pleasing to everyone, and they are fully blessed by Lord Caitanya. Thus they are engaged in missionary activities meant to deliver all the conditioned souls in the material universe."
.
The Nectarean Glories of Vraja-dhama (January 7, 2010): "All glories to Radha and Krishna and the divine forest of Vrindavana. All glories to the three presiding Deities of Vrindavana -- Sri Govinda, Gopinatha, and Madana-mohana. All glories to Syama-kunda, Radha-kunda, Govardhana Hill, and the Yamuna River (Kalindi). All glories to the great forest known as Mahavana, where Krishna and Balarama displayed all of Their childhood pastimes. All glories to Kesi-ghata, where Krishna killed the Kesi demon. All glories to the Vamsi-vata tree, where Krishna attracted all the gopis to come by playing His flute. Glories to all of the twelve forests of Vraja. At these places the son of Nanda, Sri Krishna, performed all of His pastimes."
.
Sri Nama-kirtana sung by Srila Prabhupada (Audio) (January 7, 2010): "Lord Krishna is the beloved son of mother Yasoda; the transcendental lover in the land of Vraja; the delight of Gokula; Kana (a nickname of Krishna), the wealth of the lives of the gopis. He steals the mind of even Cupid and punishes the Kaliya serpent. These pure, holy names of Lord Hari are full of sweet, nectarean pastimes. Krishna is the Lord of the twelve forests of Vraja, He is ever-youthful and is the best of lovers. He is always playing on a flute, and He is an excellent dresser. Krishna is the protector of the inhabitants of Vraja; the destroyer of various demoniac dynasties, the keeper and tender of Nanda Maharaja's cows; the giver of pleasure to the cows, land, and spiritual senses, the husband of the goddess of fortune; the butter thief, and the beautiful cowherd boy of Nanda Maharaja."
.
Petition to Stop Vrindavan Bridge (January 6, 2010): "When I first came in Vrndavana I stayed in the Kesi-ghata. That is very palatial building. My room was as big as this. Yes, as big. Plus one side room, plus one entrance room. I was paying fifteen rupees. And I could see whole Vrndavana, Yamuna, from the top my house. It is very nice, very palatial."
.
Life of Vrindavan (Video) (January 6, 2010): "This is especially true in Vrindavana; any person may go there, and even if he is sinful he will at once contact an atmosphere of spiritual life and will automatically chant the names of Krishna and Radha. That we have actually seen and experienced."
.
Deities #560 (January 6, 2010): "Lord Caitanya is the shelter of the demigods, the goal of the Upanishads, the be-all and end-all of the great sages, the beautiful shelter of His devotees, and the essence of the love of the lotus-eyed gopis. Will He again be the object of my vision?"
.
Photo Album #678 (January 6, 2010): "It is better that you give Vrindavan to others. If I did not leave Vrindavan, you would not know Vrindavan."
.
.
Stop Construction of Bridge in Vrindavan (January 5, 2010): "The central government of India is building a big bridge around Keshi Gath. It is against the will of all the local residents in Vrindavan. The new bridge threatens Vrindavan's heritage ghat. The governor of the state of Utthar pradesh is doing this without consulting anyone and not revealing the plans to anyone. This project is an ecological disaster, unethical and anti-aesthetic."

Photo Album #677 (January 5, 2010): "Some say that the devotee should remain in holy places like Vrindavana or some holy town where the Lord lived, but a pure devotee can live anywhere and create the atmosphere of Vrindavana by his devotional service.

Rare Prabhupada Film, Vrindavana 1971, Part 1 (Video) (January 4, 2010): "Even a moment's association with a pure devotee cannot be compared to being transferred to heavenly planets or even merging into the Brahman effulgence in complete liberation.

In a forest of small kadamba trees on the bank of the Yamuna, I will seat the divine couple on a throne made of brilliant jewels. I will anoint Their dark and fair forms with sandalwood paste scented with cuya, and I will fan Them with a camara whisk. Oh, when will I behold Their moonlike faces?" (With English translation.)

World Needs Genuine Love (Video) (January 3, 2010): "So they [the gopis] simply thought, 'Oh, He might be a demigod.' So they never tried to analyze Krishna, but their love for Krishna there is no comparison. That is wanted. jnana-karmadyanavritam. Whether Krishna is God or not, let me test.
