All the Vrajavasis along with Krishna Himself then offered obeisances to that towering form. As Sri Krishna stood by with folded hands, that great personality Govardhana bellowed, 'I shall eat all your offerings.' He ate and drank water by emptying all the kundas around the hill. While eating all the preparations m...

It was painful for us to remember that horrible day when we lost the physical presence of our most beloved Guru Maharaja, His Divine Grace A.C.

We could remember his unlimited kindness upon as he expressed in the following letter to his disciple Brahmananda: ...

And not only women, but even stronghearted men are subject to falling down from their position at the sound of Your flute.

October 24, 2025 Srila Prabhupada stated when he was giving a lecture on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.1.27–34 on December 16, 1970 in Surat, India: People may say, "The devotee is also dying, and the nondevotee, sinful man, is also dying. What is the difference?" So there is much difference. The example is given: just like a cat catching a rat in his mouth, and at the same time carrying his cubs in the mouth. You see... Superficially, we can see that the same mouth is being used, but one is feeling comfortable being carried by the mother, and another is feeling the death knell. Similarly, at the time of death, the devotee's feeling that they are being transferred to Vaikuṇṭha, whereas th...

Srila Prabhupada said that Vrindavan is his home. Since Lord Sri Krishna had unlimited pastimes here 5,000 years ago walking everywhere with His lotus feet, every particle of dust here is unlimitedly sacred and bestows unlimited blessings upon His devotees. When I first arrived here as soon I got out of the car I got down on the ground and offered my obeisances to Sri Vrindavan Dhama taking its sacred dust on my head. In this regard Srila Prabhpada said: Just like we are in Vṛndāvana-dhāma. So why Vṛndāvana-dhāma is worshiped? Because the Vṛndāvana-dhāma is not d...

He said, "Just give your love to Krishna," and he showed us how to do it by signing very sweetly with love for Krishna. This was wonderful. This was something I relate to.
