Devotees of the Turkish Yatra (Album of photos)
\nSrila Prabhupada: Everywhere is Vrndavana. Wherever there is Krsna\u2019s temple, Krsna\u2019s sankirtana, that is Vrndavana. Caitanya Mahaprabhu said that \u201cMy mind is always Vrndavana.\u201d Because He\u2019s always thinking of Krsna. Krsna is there -He\u2019s Krsna Himself \u2013 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 \u201cBecause in Melbourne we have got a temple, the Melbourne Deities are here, so that is not Vrndavana.\u201d 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\u2019s lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam 2.1.2 [Significance of Sad-gosvamy-astaka] \u2013 March 17, 1974, Vrndavana
