1. The opulence of Vrndavana

    My dear Lord, what can I say about the opulence of Your Vrndavana? Simply the ornaments on the legs of the damsels of Vrndavana are more than cintamani, and their dresses are as good as the heavenly parijata flowers. And the cows exactly resemble the surabhi cows in the transcendental abode. Therefore Your opulence is […]
  2. What is Krsna doing at Radha-kunda?

    “O my beloved friend Vrnda, where are you coming from?”“I am coming from the feet of Sri Hari.”“Where is He?”“In the forest on the bank of Radha-kunda.”“What is He doing there?”“He is learning dancing.”“Who is His master?”“Your image, Radha, revealing itself in every tree and creeper in every direction, is roaming like a skillful dancer, […]
  3. Krsna plays with His friends

    Once the Lord desired to go early in the morning with all His cowherd boyfriends to the forest, where they were to assemble together and take lunch. As soon as He got up from bed, He blew His buffalo-horn bugle and called all His friends together. Keeping the calves before them, they started for the […]
  4. Live simply and go to Krsna

    Don’t be after these motorcars, television, and all nonsense things, sporting, wine, women. Don’t be after these. Simply eat sufficiently, keep your health nicely, chant Hare Krsna, realize Krsna, and go back to home. This is our philosophy. From Srila Prabhupada’s Morning Walk Conversation at Villa Borghese, 25 May, 1974
  5. The topmost level of devotional service

    Worship in separation is considered by the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya to be the topmost level of devotional service. According to this conception, the devotee thinks of himself as very poor and neglected by the Lord. Thus he addresses the Lord as dina-dayadra natha, as did Madhavendra Puri. Such an ecstatic feeling is the highest form of devotional […]
  6. The president of Kali-yuga

    Where is that president? They’re all drunkards, woman-hunters, meat-eaters. This is Kali-yuga’s king. Nrpa-linga: dressed like king, but sudra. Very expert in cow killing. Third-class, fourth-class men, dressed like president and king. Business: plunder money from the citizens and kill cow. Srila Prabhupada — September 17, 1976, Vrndavana
  7. Why is Vrndavana-dhama worshiped?

    We are in Vrndavana-dhama. So why Vrndavana-dhama is worshiped? Because the Vrndavana-dhama is not different from Krsna. When you take little dust of Vrndavana-dhama and take it, that means you are taking the dust of Krsna’s lotus feet, and you take it. Vrndavana-dhama, so important. From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 6.2.14 — September 17, […]
