Krishna Consciousness comes to America 1965-1970 — Following Srila Prabhupada Part 1 — 1080p HD

The first part of a chronological collection of films of Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-Acharya of the Hare Krishna movement. Includes a sound track with the devotees who appear in the films describing what is happening at the time.

Following Srila Prabhupada is a project of Yadubara Prabhu and Vishaka dasi at ISKCON Cinema.

They have collected, catalogued and organized all the available film footage of Srila Prabhupada and produced a very inspiring and informative sound track with devotees explaining the subject matter of the films.

It is an amazing experience to see Srila Prabhupada establish the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and spread it all over the world in these very intimate and beautiful films. Now for the first time ever these important historical Hare Krishna films are presented in 1080p High Definition video restored with the help of the most recent AI technology.

The result is a stunningly clear and beautiful first-hand experience of Srila Prabhupada and his followers spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world.

Please watch. The films have never been seen before in this quality and it is such a great historical presentation documenting Srila Prabhupada spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world.

About the Author

Madhudvisa dasa My first contact with a Hare Krishna was a most merciful Mataji in Oxford Street, London who sold me a "Higher Taste" cook book in 1984 while I was on holidays there. I started seriously reading Srila Prabhupada's books in Australia 1985 and by 1986 Srila Prabhupada had convinced me "Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead" and "we should surrender to Krishna." I joined the Hare Krishnas in Perth, Western Australia in 1986. Since then I have been chanting Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, reading and distributing Srila Prabhupada's books and preaching as much as I can. That's my life and full-time occupation now really. I like it more than anything I've ever experienced before. Srila Prabhupada's books are so amazing... Even after reading them all many times they're still fresh and new. They are truly transcendental! That's it really. Now I'm just hankering to once again see the world chant Hare Krishna, dance and feast and float away in the ecstasy of Lord Caitanya's Sankirtana movement as it did in Srila Prabhupada's physical presence. Let the whole world drown in the ecstatic flood of love of Krishna!
