March 1, 1970 : Los Angeles
Vaiyasaki: On March 1, the Hare Krishna Temple's second recording, Govinda, is released by Apple Records. Prabhupada receives a copy of the song from Syamasundara and likes it so much that he wants to play it for the devotees.
The next morning, after greeting the Deities, Prabhupada sits down on his vyasasana when the record starts. As the song begins to build, some devotees notice that tears are streaming down Prabhupada's cheeks. He is so moved by the beauty of Yamuna's singing, that he becomes stunned with emotion, his body visibly shivering in ecstasy.
He requests the temple leaders to play the song every morning during greeting of the Deities. In his reply to Syamasundara, Prabhupada writes, "The record is so nice that I am playing it at least once in a day, and it is giving me transcendental pleasure with tears in my eyes."
