Once, en route to the Bury Place temple in July 1976, Srila Prabhupada confirmed that Sri Sri Radha-London-Isvara were his favorite Deities. Another time he said that Krishna is "so much smiling--an innocent boy." They are the first large Deities Srila Prabhupada instelled in the West, in December 1969. On Janmasthami, 1977, shortly before he passed away, Srila Prabhuapda visited Them one last time, and his eyes flooded with tears as devotees sang Their names aand the Hare Krishna mantra.
