There we must go that swamiji in the temple, _______0:00:10Prabhupad, made the charter for the co-operation and everybody were shocked when Prabhupad made it The International Society. They were probably, the devotees, not the devotees the well wishers, they scrapped together, the first month’s rent and told Swamiji: that we will be able to pay next month’s rent let there be a confidence in the next month. Then Prabhupad, had that vision, International Society for Krishna Consciousness. And then he wrote several purposes, he wanted the publication of books by millions to be printed and distributed all over the world. That was quite amazing. He just had a few very simple books of brown cover printed in India, Srimad Bhagavatam that took him years and years and years to translate into, to raise the money to print that. And he had nobody, there was not even a single book distributor in the entire creation exception of Prabhupad himself at that time. He was Pretty bored. And he wanted schools and he wanted ________0:01:54.6, and even wanted to establish a place of pilgrimage to reveal Krsna’s past times in the Western world. Very well. So Krsna works in wonderful ways, attached to Prabhupad’s very very earliest problems to be a Swami and _______. 0:02:19.0. He took initiation in 1966 on 22nd of _____0:02:23.7.

And somehow or the other they actually went to stay for a short time and they somehow or the other got this land, because it was so cheap, 99 $, for 99 years lease. Check it out in Manhattan, 99 seconds____. 99 $ for 99 seconds. You know, so they wanted Prabhupad in Montriel, the may say Prabhupad we want to surrender our lives, we want to surrender this property to youself. Prabhupad said Oh! very good, we will call it New Vrindavan. Hari Bol. When he invited to come & he agreed, where we are sitting was New Vrindavan. The road that we came is new road, that HH Barsana maharaj, liberally just carved out of mountains with his heavy equipment seva. But previously, lastly we walked upto the orginal road, to some extent it was just a road, with up and down hills, _____________0:04:19.4 began. Now road was so notorious, with mud in the summer and ice in the winter that the devotees they ended Agasur. Because, they just devour anything that came into and its about 3 miles you have to walk to get there, there’s no other way. Prabhupad is going to come, he may come, he is eager to come. Now is in the month of May, of 1969, this time of the year, he came to New Vrindavan. At that time, this house was very very dehabitated, just in the middle in the late 1980s it was very much relevated, this was like a 5 star palace compared to the Mayapuri’s and has 22 pools. You could buy 5 stars. When Prabhupad came the house and ____ this was an addition, they________0:5:57 and Prabhupad stayed for 1 month in this house, he was so happy, so happy, because he wanted to instill within the devotees hearts the love for life of simple living and high thinking because that is the life in Vrindavan. Simply by caring properly for the cows, learning how to properly respect mother Earth, all other necessities of life & we use our time and energy to remember Krishna, to serve Krsna. There was a _______tree0:07:03.0 actually that tree is some ____kept a that trees, possibly looks exactly the same shape as the original tree, the original tree was thirty years old, but the child of the tree is exactly the same shape and in the same place. Prabhupad use to sit under that tree, look over the mountains and give his plans in New Vrindavan, his devotees would sit around him and he would give his ideas, he wanted New Vrindavan to be just like Vrindavan, in fact, Prabhupad even wrote that New Vrindavan should be better than Vrindavan, how is that possible? Because in Vrindavan there is lot of commercialism, internal & external superficial surface of Vrindavan, and there is also Mayavad and all kinds of different things like that. Where he said, in New Vrindavan, we should have community simply of those who are surrendered to pure devotional services.

In Chaitanya Charitamrita, Prabhupad says that we have established a New Vrindavan in West Virginia. New Vrindavan is non different from Goloka Vrindavan because the community is centered around service of Krsna, loving Krsna. But that was all established here, where Prabhupad was living, he lived upstairs, we studied translated books, in the front up and the back up was where he slept, he would come down here & give Bhagavatam class, _______ times where you are sitting now, and he would sit outside, and speak to the devotees, meditate and contemplate on the future of New Vrindavan. So this is a very very Holy miracle place where all of us are here. Prabhupad, performed his very exceptional lila for about 1 month living here. There was one cow named Kalia, the devotees they had very little money, very little money came by a very highly pedigree acceptable cow. So they got a little black cow with one eye and she was such a nice cow, the original cow of Hare Krishna mantra, she was such a gracious, elegant personality, she was always peaceful, always calm, always compassionate, every year she gave a calf, every day she gave such a wonderful milk for Krsna, other cows would fight, she would never fight, she didn’t even walk until Prabhupad would tell her, she was always a very humble cow, very co-operative, really she was really, really like a queen. In her disposition, when Prabhupad drank her milk, he said: it was the best milk he drank in 40 years he liked very much, so he was so happy, take care of cows, sow the fields, have nice kirtans, do your Japa nicely, read Srimad Bhagavatam, and began to actually excavate the holy places of Krsna’s pastimes. Because not so many people in America can go all over to India to Vrindavan and Mayapur. So he wanted the people to same experience in America. In fact, I am really thinking that we start project by building Madan Mohan temple exact replica of Vrindavan right here. Hari Bol. We already have the stone carvers, that they can get the exact stone, that they carve exactly the deity just like that same size. That will be nice, Madan Mohan comprises the symbol of Vrindavan, all we need is the blessings of Krsna that he showers & some funds, that I will think it as very difficult and big community & the friends of the community really feel excited to be at New Vrindavan and to make New Vrindavan what Prabhupad wanted it to be that will come very simple, funds are not problem, the problem is our consciousness. He will provide everything if we have right consciousness, you can see if the devotees are really enthusiastic and inspired to come here to get Krsna conciousness, and the devotees, there are some devotees they said they are inspired to stay here, they happily serve and raise their families then Madan mohan temple will began & later Govindaji temple, may be not the same size but still. We actually already have the stone carvers, we already know where the stone is, we already have the exact detail plans the ancient Madan Mohan temple, all that is required is submitting to say go head. I will come when the community in the U.S., is united and do the ____0:14:23.4. Do you all give your blessings to this. Hari Bol!!!!!!!!!!!. _________.

Krsna’s life in Vrindavan should be remembered here, that is the perfection of New Vrindavan and the people come there remember Krsna. Then Krsna would ___Nandagau. Where the friends of Krsna would come in the morning to wake Krsna up, then they will be waiting outside as Yashodamayi would wake Krsna, each friend was carrying sticks for herding cows, a buffalo horn, each one had a flute. Then mother would decorate him very nicely and go forward to be woken up and his mother would dress him very very beautiful and after giving him nice bath and he would come to meet his friends. The First thing, he would do every morning with his friends is to go the place the cows where being milked, because the cows would not give any milk until they saw Krsna. ______________________0:16:00. they would be yearning to see. Where Krishna would come into the Goshala, which was abode of cows which was actually very beautiful. Because Nanda Maharaj, had so much ghee and so much butter and so much milk products that anything he wanted he tasted, so the Goshala was actually made of very very very beautiful stones, jewels, beautiful carved wood, because they honoured and loved their cows. Krsna would come into the Goshala in which thousands and thousands of cows were there. And then, for Krsna they all would just be looking at the door way just waiting for Krsna, their eyes were fixed in the door way. When Krsna would come in they would just, they would have children, all these thousands of cows would blissfully start making their sounds. Moooooooooooooooooooo.!!!!!! How is it? Should we try how a cow________. If you want all together meditating on Krsna do like cow. Moooooooooooo, mooooooooooooo. Something like that. Then we should also be stamping the foot ______. Mooooooo, moooooooooo, mooooooooo. Then Krsna would become so happy that he would smile, he personally smiled at each and every cow, tears would___, tears of love of motherly affection which was flowing out of each cow’s heart. They said looking at Krsna, Krsna is smiling, that smile is the ultimate goal of their life is just to see that smile of Krsna. In turn, Krsna is looking at the cow, each and every cow personally round their necks, he would scratch them, they would feel so nice, _________. Sweet sweet words of love and affection for each cow. Then cow would reciprocate by moving, weeping in ecstasy, then when a time came for milking, each cow which is meditating and offering their milk to Krsna. Then Krsna would go out and he would say, he would tell the cows how much he will be in separation from them throughout the day. ____then he would with his other cow herds, and gopas and the gopis, the little gopas they would come with Krsna, that to small gopas to small to come with Krsna, they would just be in the mothers arms, ______babies, tiny infant babies they would come out with their mothers to say good bye to Krsna_____and they would just be crying crying, praying for the day they grow up so that they can go with Krsna___. And then Krsna would go _____, so many nice games, for decorative stuffs, because they weren’t concerned with so much decoration __________0:21:02.8. They want natural decoration. They would get, and sew it together, __________to make nice colours, they would get even flowers and leaves, and pick up feathers and peacocks and they would just decorate themselves with all these things, make garlands, make their___, all the gopas would definitely so what purpose, so they would look nice for Krishna that’s all, they just wanted to be so pleasing to Krsna. Even if we go to some of the temples in India, you will see that pujaris sometimes they put nice earrings, and they put nice scents on their body and even dress elegantly, any ideas they are looking nice for the deity_____and you know. That is their feeling. And these gopas they would be decorated so nicely with flowers and leaves, and different types of feathers, especially peacock feathers, normal feathers and they would play with Krsna throughout the day. Krsna played his flute, and all the cows and gopas and gopis of Nandagau, they would simply be immersed in such separate during the time Krsna was gone their only souls, every now and then from a distance they could hear his flute, he would play just for them, just to pacify her hearts. This is Vrindavan life, very simple, very sweet and as we remember Krsna in his simple life in Vrindavan naturally we fall in love with Krsna. The reciprocation of pure devotion between the Lord and the gopas and gopis, the cows and all the creatures within, all the personalities of Vrindavan is most wonderful. And the peacocks, they would come exceptionally to perform dance for Krsna when he was with cows, so devotional. They will come before Krsna and began to dance, and then Krsna just to reciprocate with their love he would dance with the dance with the peacocks, what a exalted position had these peacocks for dancing for Krsna. They would dance, Krsna would dance and peacocks would dance, it was such a dance and all the gopas would be gathered around clapping their hands, and playing instruments, laughing, smiling, watching the beautiful dance of Krsna with peacocks, and all the other peacocks and peahens would be gathered around watching this transcendental performance and even the peacock got tired Krsna just continued to dance, dance and dance, then leader of all the peacocks was so pleased that Krsna has danced just for them, just to show, just to give them pleasure he has danced all day for them, and as a gift peacock made his best best feather at Krsna’s Lotus feet, he said on behalf of all the peacocks I am bringing this feather in reciprocation and love. And to show the reciprocate of their love krsna took that feather and placed it on top of his head, in his little crown. This is the sweet simple love of Vrindavan.

Here was that the Prabhupad was meditating and envisioning here in this farm house that we are living today. But I think all of you need to go back to Manhattan in New york city very soon, at one point. Please, when you return, note that wherever Radha Vrindavan Shyam, Radha shyam sundar, Radha Govinda where ever Sri Sri Radha Krsna being remembered, where ever the pastimes of the Lord have been discussed, where ever the names of the Lord have been chanted, or just see the devotees place becomes transformed into Vrindavan. We were discussing recently how this is a very very special purport of Srila Prabhupad he is actually explaining Vrindavan consciousness the angiographical dimensions.

This is in regard to Lord Chaitanya going to Vrindavan. Lord Chaitanya was so eager to go to Vrindavan, that was his life’s aspiration. We know the story, after he took initiation with Eshwar puri in Gaya, he was so much manifestated ecstatic love, one night he just ran away just all alone running to Vrindavan and the celestial voice of demigods actually spoke to him: My Lord, we wish to establish the Harinam sankirtan movement for the welfare of whole world you should go back to Navadweep and do that and later you can come to Vrindavan. So he actually went back to Navadweep, then he took Sanyas through Keshava bharathi, in Kathwa and same day he took initiations, he immediately started running to Vrindavan. But somehow or the other they demanded Prabhu 28:06_shift him he is in different directions, then he met his devotees in Shantipur and then his mother begged please do not go to Vrindavan ___28:11.8. Later, after ______28:20 he told his devotees I want to go to Vrindavan, but his devotees were thinking if he goes to Vrindavan he would never return, they could not say no to him but at the same time he would not leave without the blessings from the Vaishnavas. He wanted to teach the world, without the blessings of great souls nothing we do is auspicious in the eyes of Krsna, so he asked devotees please give me your blessings to go to Vrindavan. So they were thinking how to give him blessings and not let him go. So they were very intelligent. They said: “yes, yes, My Lord, if that is you wish you must go but you should wait until after the Rathyatra. So after Rathyatra, they said, it is the rainy season sorry you can take care. Sarvabhowma Bhattacharya was actually trying to ______29:26, he said the Lord___ so much. He said he loves you so much, even now he wants your association so dearly. He is willing to give up your association, he is willing to suffer the pain of loosing your company just to protect your vow, just like Krsna who was willing to break his all promise just to protect Bhishma’s promise, similarly the Lord wants to protect your promise. Then they went back, Lord Chaitanya his truly something magnificent and he went to back to Navadweep, he went to Koolia gram 30:14.2. Millions and millions of people came to see him. Because when he was in Navadweep , he was Nimai Pandit’s so many people loved him that after he took sanyas and people, people who didn’t even understand, comprehended that he is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When the Lord came out that he was at the house of Vidyavachaspathi. Hari Bol!___30:48 happened so many millions and millions of people would come, they had to cross the Ganges to get there, people were so eager so they just were getting Banana trees and just floating on the Banana trees, there were hundreds of persons on one Banana tree, and there was also boats, big boats and thousands and thousands of people rushed down to the boats and the boat man says, _______31.22 sometimes so many people on the boat, the boat just literally right in the water would dissolve, it broke down and sunk, and some other boats who were in the middle of the stream, it and sunk, some how or the other it was just was sinking some man would appear under its wood so to sink. Millions of people who never knew how to swim they started swimming, some people would just get pots, clay pots and just hold on to it. Inside the Ganga, was just millions of heads of people were just floating, and then they came running to the place Lord Chaitanya was staying, they were making to the place, they were all just chanting and chanting, chanting, they wanted him to come and when he came out of the house, everyone wanted to see him so that, they were so many millions of people around that house. There were little straw huts, thousands of people climbed on top of that just to see all other crowds, and the huts did not break. There were hundreds and hundreds of people on any different trees, even hanging if they were 32.56___________________ so that they can have the Darshan of Lord, and Lord came out, he saw them all, addressed them and wished them all to chant the Holy name_______33.13 there were thousands and thousands of different kirtans, chanting, dancing and then Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s was dancing amongst all of them, then from there he proceeded.

Then, You know the story of Narasimhananda Ramachari, he was just simple Brahmachari with no wealth at all but he wanted to do some service to the Lord, he wanted to make the Lord’s trip to Vrindavan very comfortable. So hestarted meditation, he started decorating the roads, he made the roads very wide and then he covered the roads with very very soft fragrant petals of flowers pleasant and silk stand, so that the Lord’s feet would be very happy, and so that the Lord’s would see nice view on the sides of the roads, there was excavating lakes with swans and beautiful Bacula trees and ___trees, ___trees and banyan trees it was all in his meditation. Because, devotional service is actually a matter of what Krsna recevies within your hearts. When Lord Chaitanya was walking down the road he actually saw whatever Narasimhananda Ramachari was constructing in his meditation. So Lord was dancing upon the flower petals nothing else to see that was absolute reality. He was seeing the auspicious trees, lakes, auspicious ______35.27, because it is the higher reality than the what we call tangible world of the senses, is the reality of consciousness, reality of love, that is actual reality. Through the story we understand that actually there is no material limitation in devotional service, we can see the Yajnapurusha now is meditating on a temple at Manhattan. Hari bol! Instructing him. _____36.17_ Then he came to Ramakeri, he met Sanatan Goswami, Nimai & Nithai, Shiva Sanatan goswami, Lord Chaitanya returned back. Because they told you should not go with so many millions of people to Vrindavan just go giving yourself a small group. So, the Lord under stood 36:39_________ This is the right device so he went all the way back to Puri, when he arrived in Puri, he told the devotees, that Krsna would not allow me to go to Vrindavan because I was there with Gadhadhar Pandit, unless he gives me his blessings and permission, Krsna will not allow me to go. So this is the truth what Lord Jesus Christ in his sermon of the Mount, I believe he said if you going to the altar to worship to bring an orphan to the Lord, for you have some problem with your brothers go and resolve your problems with your brothers then come and give the offering to the Lord. _______(something missing). Hope we of course, ____chutney, ___sabji & ___salad. The reason he liked it so much was because the principle that you live with what grows on a land. He was really wanted to show devotees how wonderful life that will be.

Thank you very much.
