Srila Prabhupada: Everywhere is Vrndavana. Wherever there is Krsna’s temple, Krsna’s sankirtana, that is Vrndavana. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that “My mind is always Vrndavana.” Because He’s always thinking of Krsna. Krsna is there -He’s Krsna Himself – just to teach us. So similarly, anywhere you live, if you are actually follower of the instruction of Krsna, as Krsna says, man-mana bhava mad-bhakto mad-yaji mam namaskuru [Bg. 18.65], then that is Vrndavana. Wherever you live. Do not think that “Because in Melbourne we have got a temple, the Melbourne Deities are here, so that is not Vrndavana.” That is also Vrndavana. If you worship the Deity very rigidly, follow the rules and regulation, so wherever you do, that is Vrndavana. Especially this Vrndavana dhama, where Krsna actually appeared. So this is Vrndavana, Goloka Vrndavana. Here, those who will manage this institution, they must be first-class gosvami. This is my proposition. Not grhamedhi. -From Srila Prabhupada’s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.2 [Significance of Sad-gosvamy-astaka] – March 17, 1974, Vrndavana
