Srila Prabhupada did not leave us in 1977. He is still spreading Krishna consciousness all over the world. Prabhupada lives in in his teachings and we can continue to associate with him, a pure devotee of Krishna, and continue to benefit.
The "Complete Prabhupada DVD Library" is the perfect opportunity to personally associate with Srila Prabhupada!
In this final edtion, released May 2007, the film and sound quality has been stunningly improved. All the original films and videos have been digitally re-mastered. New footage has been discovered and included, the sound has been enhanced. The result is Prabhupada, as you have never seen before! The improvements are truly breathtaking!

already watched two DVD's and
I realized once more how wonderful
Srila Prabhupada is even
it was just for looking at Him
what to speak of simultaniously
hearing Him speaking attracting
us souls to Him and Sri Sri
Radha Krishna.
Thank
you and my joyous obeisances
to all of you who did this wonderful
service to produce this
library.
I
would like to stay in contact
and share some more.

You can enjoy a completely new series of 6 DVDs called "Prabhupada Darshan." This is a chronological collection of all the silent footage of Srila Prabhupada edited together by Yadubara Prabhu of ISKCON Cinema. Yadubara worked on this project for more than ten years. The video is accompanied by three separate Prabhupada sound tracks you can choose from. It is in total about 25 hours with more than 15 hours of this video being released for the first time ever!
Them main soundtrack on "Prabhupada Darshan" is live audio when available with Prabhupada classes from the same time the footage was shot and bhajans and kirtans. The second sound track is Prabhupada conversations and morning walks from the same time and the third sound track is Prabhupada bhajans and purports.
There are completely new shows like a newly discovered documentary of Srila Prabhupada in Germany. It is a full-color, high quality 16mm film. It shows Prabhupada performing an initiation ceremony at the German temple, Schloss Rettershof.
The "Prabhupada in Australia" DVD is completely new. It contains hours of never-released before footage and completely new shows including the installation of Mahaprabhu in Melbourne, Prabhupada's visit to the Franciscan Seminary, the eventful college preaching engagement at Latrobe University, peaceful morning walks, hall programs, and of course the Ratha Yatra Festival and the after party. This is a complete new DVD with over 4 hours of Prabhupada nectar!!
The "Festivals With Prabhupada" DVD is so much improved. Now the Vyasa-Puja Festival in New Vrindavana and the Ratha Yatra Festival in Philadelphia have new color footage included which gives a whole new dimension to the experience of watching these programs.
All the black and white footage has been dramatically improved. It has all been digitally stabilized, the contrast has been corrected and the clarity of the images is so much better due to a new digital transfer of the original video tapes.
This is the final edition. There will not be another after this. It is the culmination of many years of work by both Nrsimhananda Prabhu at ITV and Yadubara Prabhu at ISKCON Cinema to preserve and distribute all the recorded film and video of Srila Prabhupada.
The Prabhupada DVD library is professionally produced on 19 duel-layer DVDs, improving the quality while reducing the cost. These DVDs will play on any DVD player, anywhere in the world.
The Prabhupada DVD set has subtitles in twenty languages and the new option of Russian and Italian voiceovers.
Languages with Subtitles Included are:
- Chinese (simple and traditional),
- Croatian,
- Czech,
- English,
- Estonian,
- German,

This
is a sample of our newly improved
B&W footage. Using the
magic of digital image processing
the quality of all B&W
footage has been improved
dramatically. In some cases,
as you see here, we have been
able to find color footage
shot at the same time and
have incorparated that to
give a much better experience.
This is from the "Festivals
