Vrndavana Is My Home — A History of Sri Sri Krishna Balaram Temple

Vrndavana Is My Home is a treasured hardcover volume documenting the history of Srila Prabhupada's Sri Sri Krishna-Balaram Mandir — the temple he called his own home, and the project closest to his heart in his final years.
 
Drawing on rare archival photographs from the 1970s, this book takes readers back to the days when Vrindavan's Raman Reti was still quiet sand and scrub, and shows how Srila Prabhupada's vision took physical form brick by brick. The photographs are the heart of the book: Srila Prabhupada walking the temple grounds, early deity installations, the original devotees who built the mandir, and the daily life of a young community establishing Krishna consciousness in the land of Krishna's pastimes.
 
For devotees, the value of this volume lies not only in its historical record but in what it reveals of Srila Prabhupada's mood — his affection for Vrindavan, his insistence on the highest standards of deity worship, and his desire that devotees from around the world would always have a home in the dham. Readers consistently find that seeing these moments preserved in print deepens their connection to Srila Prabhupada and to Sri Sri Krishna-Balaram.
 
Presented as a durable hardcover edition with high-quality photo reproduction, this is a book meant for display, repeated reading, and gifting — equally suited to a temple library, a family bookshelf, or a devotee's personal collection.
