The album was recorded in June, 1974 at Schloss Rettershoff, during Srila Prabhupada&#8217;s visit there. It was his second and final visit to Germany. The devotees set up a recording room beneath the stairs, and Srila Prabhupada happily obliged their request to do a recording.<!--more--> Vocals and harmonium by Srila Prabhupada, Hansadutta on mrdanga, Cakravarti and Himavati play kartals.

The gatefold of the double album cover reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The singing of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Gosvami Prabhupada is pure devotional music in praise of Krsna \u2013 Meditation, Srila Prabhupada explains, is not inactive, impersonal or void. Meditation is the awakening of the soul\u2019s eternal relationship with the Supreme Person, Krsna. One who has experienced such an awakening cannot stop meditating on Krsna even for a moment, just as a young boy who has fallen in love with a young girl cannot stop thinking of her at any time. One can sing for Krsna, dance for Krsna, cook for Krsna, think for Krsna, work for Krsna or even fight for Krsna. In this way doing everything for Krsna, in the end one returns to Krsna.<\/p>\n<p>By Hearing the spiritual sound vibrations of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Gosvami Prabhupada, the listener is immediately elevated to the platform of Krsna meditation which brings supreme peace and bliss within the heart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Eric (Sit Properly blog) brings to our attention that a subsequent release of the same album in a single LP cut down the time considerably from some of the songs, and later the BBT released a CD of the album, but altogether left off the final song &#8220;Chintamini&#8221; aka &#8220;Brahma-samhita&#8221;, and also reduced the track times. So if you want the whole thing as Srila Prabhupada recorded it, you can download it here or over at Eric&#8217;s site. <br \/>\n<!-- BEGIN KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL LEFTCOL --><\/p>\n<div class=\"three-col-leftcol\"><span class=\"song-title\">01 &#8211; Prayers to the Six Goswamis<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 17:11, 28.8 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/01SP-Prayers-to-the-Six-Gosvamis.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/01SP-Prayers-to-the-Six-Gosvamis.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"song-title\">02 &#8211; Gaura Prahun<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 16:46, 27.6 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/02SP-Gaura-Prahun.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/02SP-Gaura-Prahun.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL LEFTCOL --><!-- BEGIN KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL MIDCOL --><\/p>\n<div class=\"three-col-midcol\"><span class=\"song-title\">03 &#8211; Sri Krsna Caitanya Prabhu<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 06:42, 11.4 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/03SP-Sri-Krsna-Caitanya-Prabhu.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/03SP-Sri-Krsna-Caitanya-Prabhu.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"song-title\">04 &#8211; Jaya Radhe, Jaya Krsna<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 14:03, 23.1 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/04SP-Jaya-Radhe-Jaya-Krsna.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/04SP-Jaya-Radhe-Jaya-Krsna.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL MIDCOL --><!-- BEGIN KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL RIGHTCOL --><\/p>\n<div class=\"three-col-rightcol\"><span class=\"song-title\">05 &#8211; Yasomati-nandana<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 11:12, 18.6 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/05SP-Yasomati-nandana.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/05SP-Yasomati-nandana.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"song-title\">06 &#8211; Cintamani<\/span><br \/><span class=\"file-type\">MP3 &#8211; 07:53 13 MB<\/span><br \/><span class=\"option\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/06SP-Cintamani.m3u\">Listen<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hansadutta.com\/MP3MUSIC\/Krsna_Meditation_Album\/06SP-Cintamani.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- END KRSNA MEDITATION 3COL RIGHTCOL --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arguably one of the most important and most mesmerizing recordings of His Divine Grace A.C.
