Srila Prabhupada Lectures

Prabhupada on Janmashtami

Here are three recordings of Srila Prabhupada speaking on the day of Janmashtami, Krishna’s appearance anniversary—an event often difficult for a materialistic mind to comprehend.

The transcripts of all three lectures are also here for you to read along as you listen.

“Now He Has Appeared in this Beautiful, Dark Bluish Form”

To enhance your appreciation of Sri Krishna Janmastami 2009, check out these lectures on the history of Krishna’s appearance, given in the actual place where Krishna appeared on Earth, Vrindavan, India.

These are excerpts from a three-and-a-half hour talk, given (despite laryngitis) by His Holiness Radhanath Swami, recorded at Gokula Mahavan during his Vrindavan Yatra in 2004.
