Dear Devotees,
I recorded memories of times I was with Srila Prabhupada, including audio clips of him speaking on various topics during morning walks when I was present. I love to hear him blast the scientists so effectively, and set our minds right about everything. Apologies if the kirtan lead seems a bit sentimental. I kept this recording for a long time and recently decided to release it.

Srila Prabhupada acknowledged that most people are going to colleges and universities now days. So, Prabhupada’s idea was to present Krishna Consciousness at the colleges and universities in a format suitable for the students so that they can appreciate the principles of Bhagavat Gita and the principles of Srimad Bhagavatam.

Radha-Krishna. Radha’s name is first. Why ? Nobody can be better devotee than Radharani. As soon as Radha’s name is there, Krishna is more pleased. That is the way. If we glorify the devotees, the character of the devotees, before the Lord, He is more pleased than to glorify Himself, He directly.(Converstions, Hawaii, 24th Apr, 1969).

Dear highly esteemed devotees,
Please accept my warmest greetings and pranams. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
The Bhaktivinoda Thakura Monthly Sankirtana Festival of 1,008 book distributors is on!
Devotees all over the world are joining and everyone’s talking about this. This is huge. We already have surpassed 800+ strong network of devotees worldwide and it is catching up like wild fire.
Thousands of devotees from all over the world are joining together to distribute mercy to the people of the w
Please continue to come regularly to these programs, and if any of your god-brothers or god-sisters do not come, you should be Krishna’s agent and tell him, “why aren’t you coming to the temple program? It is so lively. You will feel so spiritually strong.” We should all act like Krishna’s agents and encourage everyone to take part in these programs for the pleasure of the lord.
(His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami, Freedom by surrender)
A pure devotee always thinks himself as not-devotee. If one thinks he is big devotee, that is not good - thinking that he is first degree. We should not be puffed up. A devotee avoids it - remaining always in the second degree. Krishnahas given everyone something extraordinary, and to serve Krishna with one’sextraordinary talent means successful life.(Letter to Sukadeva, 17th March, 1973).

If we represent ourselves very nicely, the whole world will appreciate Srila Prabhupada, the whole world will appreciate Krishna Consciousness. Bus if we don’t represent ourselves properly, then the good names of the spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada, and other previous acharyas and even the principle of Krishna Consciousness will be tainted with some misunderstanding.
(Bhakti Swaroop Damodar Swami, 13 aug, 1983, Detroit, Michigan, USA)
When ones mind is attached to Krsna, one can fulfill the mission of life in one human birth. If one misses this opportunity, one does not know where he is going, how long he will remain in the cycle of birth and death, and when he will achieve the human form of life and the chance to return home, back to Godhead. The most intelligent person, therefore, uses every moment of his life to render loving service to the Lord.(Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.9.42, Purport).

It was a dream of the devotees and many friends in Turkey to read Srimad Bhagavatam in their own mother tongue.
After many years of preparation and actual work Srimad Bhagavatam First Canto Part One recently have been published in Turkish language. The book has been translated by Bhaktin Nilufer and published in Hungary with the help of the Hungarian devotees.
The book came out just before Nrsimha Caturdasi and was presented to Sivarama Swami as his Vyasa Puja gift in New Vraja Dhama, Hungary.
