Vrindavan Lila Photography

Very nice colours, wonderful portfolio!

I liked "Faces of Lord", keep going and more indian colours please.

Your galery is very interesting. Thanks for your welcome. Greetings

very interesting portfolio...... Jai sri krishna

Very colourfull and eyecatching.

Very good captures out there. Continue the good work. Congrats.

The Narasimha photos are spectacular.

...and colourful insight into your world. I love the smile of the face of the very young child looking up.

Hi Lila, your devotion is admirable. Very interesting and different portfolio. Thanks for sharing.

Generaly I stay miles apart from Krishna devotees like you, but like to comment on your photography. I think that you have good skill whenever you went outside the typical religion/sprirtual documentary mode (e.g. your landscapes folder). Please explore West Bengal (outside Mayapur) - it's my home state where I spent first 23 years of my life - you will find so many excellent and interesting subjects for creative photography. Good luck

good portfolio........and different...

jaya

your potfolio is very much infomative and beautiful. i like the detail in which u go like doing puja by different flowers(narsimha deva) and respecting the sacred fire or different faces of krishna.and also the early morning 4.30am shots like meditation.your recording of mayapur life and landscapes(walking in mayapur).abstract folder and B&W folders are also of my like. i learnt that vedic school in mayapur is going to do research with nasa.and nasa has granted funds for study and scientists are going to vist mayapur.

congrctulations:)

I like what you are doing very much. Thanks for sharing.

A very nice calm and cool portfolio you have. Really great one. I live in Kolkata and I have visited Mayapur three years back but havn't find that place as much good as it presented by you. Surely I will visit your place again after this puja to have (to try) some shots like you. your FACES OF THE LORD is my favorite. Thanks for sharing. Lastly one question, can I get permission to take photos inside the temple ? Just give me that answer.

First of all, great portfolio, it's very refreshing! great colors!

second, fell free to visit my portfolio any time, your appinion is very welcome!

Eran.

You have an amazing portfolio...full of light and color and worship. I have spent the last hour admiring your photos, so much to look at, so much to understand. I can smell the incense.

Hi Vrindavan, I am a visitor to your portfolio ever since you started up with 300D, I think that is a while back. And I checked it again today after a long gap, and I must say you got some really inspiring shots out of Mayapur. Thanks for sharing.

What a colourful experience. What a way of portraying your culture, and religion. This is a wonderful portfolio. Kind regards.

Colourful and comprehensive coverage of a way of life quite different to my own. I can smell the incense. Exotic!

I am, I am. I love your images in the "Children's" section and the section entitled "Narasimha Deva" which I believe refers the great Raja of Khurda that built many temples in India? You have a unique and enlightening opportunity to share your awakening experience with many people in the West. Many of these people do not understand the longing of their souls in the search for spiritual union/fulfillment. The children are the future and the measure of how your dharma has been manifest. When I see many of your images I realize there is still hope for the West and that the possibility of spiritual rebirth is only possible when people ultimately leave their religious (religion's) attachments behind. Ultimately we are of the same cosmos, and held in the same holy nam (vibration or word) which the holds the world... God Bless.

Hi,

Your portfolio is very interesting. One can sense a calmness and happiness in the pictures.

I have to be honest in saying the I have heard some not very flattering things about ISKCON but your portfolio bring out the best side of Mayapur. I am Indian and grew up in a place not very far from Mayapur.

Look forward to more photos from you.

Very colourful and great portfolio..Thanks for sharing different cultur and Mayapur visdom...best wishes in 2006...Guzin

Hi V,

Thanks for visiting my portfolio and commenting on it.

I saw your portfolio on animals and plants of Mayapur. I saw that you have taken most of those animal and plant photos with a generic 50mm lens. I think that photographing animals requires some specialization of equipment - at least some sort of a telephoto lens. That will allow to shoot animals from further away, capture theire more natural behaviors, and also reduce sharp backgrounds that occur with a short lens and which distract from the main main animal in the photo who is the subject.

Anyway, I guess your specialization is in a form of street photography :). I have never really tried it myself , coz I don't have a very good eye for things that make good street photographs. Also I personally avoid the use of flash unless absolutely necessary.

Happy new year to you.

Vrindavan I liked your profile and photos. I am little surprise to see Mayapur. You have great collection of colorful world.

different and interesting

I love it! Om shanti, Patrick.

You are able to bring Hindu religious life very close in your pictures!

Thank you so much for sharing your photos, they are lovely. I am fascinated with your beautiful culture!

very good portofolio! nice colours, good moments

This is a fascinating documentary of the city and religious beliefs you live in and with. Well done and thanks for letting us in

You live in a world that is very different from mine and therefore the photos look so exotic to me. So many colors and interestig faces. Please keep posting, cheers from Slovenia, marjan

Thanks for reminding me of Krishna. I love your photos. Hope I'll have a chance to visit Mayapur one day. Hari Bol!

The Deities are mind blowing. So beautiful. I haven't been to Mayapura since 1985 and things have really happened since then. It looks brilliant, inspiring, wondrous and incredible. It always is, of course, but is now manifest to even the most jaundice afflicted eyes like mine. Feeling so much separation.

very colourful, you make the most of the oppertunitys you have

Your portfolio made me feel so nostalgic. Very colorful. Congratulations and regards.

Very colourful and great portfolio.I like what you are doing very much.Thanks for sharing. Continue the good work.Greetings.Gi

Vrindavan, thanks for your comments on my photo. Your portfolio is amazing and beautiful! I like it a lot - Regards from Buenos Aires P.S: Where are you from? how long have you been living in India and being Krishna? Do you live in an Ashram?

Amazing photographs. The Narasimha Deva series has amazing lighting, and the poses captured are absolutley gorgeous. All photographers should be so lucky as to have such amazing natural models.

Gorgeous work.

An amazing portfolio about the life and costumes of Mayapur,Vrindavan,its very interesting!!!. Thanks and greetings from Mexico.

Great portfolio.

I went to mayapur last year and spend couple of memorable hours there.But there inside, people did not allow me to take picture of anybody except statue of God. I wish next time I will have luck to do so...

With regards,

Mahen

Your portfolio is incredibly beautiful and fascinating. Stupendous job. I love visiting ISKCON temples (miami, mumbai, new delhi...) but I had no idea of the vibrant community at Mayapur. Love your photos. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for sharing your world... greetings from Mexico!

Everybody should heart themselves. namast vjkama

On closer inspection, does the heart good.

very nice portfolio. Shot are original, with beautiful color and light ! very good job ! Angie

Very interesting, especially the interiors with the monks, and places where perhaps a non local would not have access, or even know about, well done, I really must go to india some day! gavin.

Amazing light and colour combinations in your collection. Thanks

For me, the Fotograph is a way to communicate and express, with art. Is capture the strenght of a image in the right moment. Your portfolio only reminds me the cheap encyclopedias.

A new and small devotee from Eastern Europe thanks you for this wonderful pictures. I have what to put on my desktop now.

thanks for your comments on one of my photos.

soaked in deep siprituality & love 4 the people & environment. what a thought provoking portfolio. tremendous devoution put in here. amazing involvement & understanding of the photographic art. " Narashima Deva " series is wonderful. regards!

Very nice portfolio. Great job.

WHat a fabulous, colorful portfolio. I am so glad to have stumbled across it. You have such passion in your photos. Beautiful country.

Impressive, interesting and sweeping portfolio.

you have a really interesting portfolio...thanks for sharing and keep on sharing..very nice.

What a very unique portfolio. Very nice. Thank you for commenting on some of my photos. Stephen Merchant

Your portfolio. Creative photography. Good luck!

Thank you for your comment on my flower. Your portfolio is very interesting. Ciao Francesco

facinating shot, the only thing is it's not in sharp focus, but the timing is excelent, also the details concidering that you shot against blaring sun. Very well done!

Voce confundiu foco com imagem em "movimento",isto foi proposital.Saude e paz.

Your portfolio gives feelings, not just images. Thanks for you nice comment. Ciao

Just stunning, I think you capture the soul of your subjects more than the figure. When I saw your photos first thing that take my attention is your concern to the feelings in your photos. It?s kind of rare. The technical side is great but the spiritual side if much greater. I feel pity because English is not my native language and I am not god at it so I am not being able to express my feelings.

Sooooo interesting, I should definitely go to India soon, thanks for sharing.

Your colors are amazing but, I truely love the black and whites here.

I especially liked the people images. Well made.

Mono-thematic portfolio, but still colorful and interesting. I didn't quite get yur comment on my picture... do u like it or not? in any case, thank you. Peace Marina

Amazing portfolio. I strongly feel it's more than just a 'photographic' portfolio. For me it's a love song on India and the people of India

Dear Lila Thank you for rating one of my photos . You have some fantastic photos where the everday life of city and spiritualy life merge in contemporary colorful expressions. From your portfolio I guess (I might be wrong of course) that you are not an expressionist true you capture the colors and the moments ...but in these moments your interest is the innerself the spirtual that you want to capture and portray in your photos. India is really beautiful I really wish to visit it one day. Congratualtions for your work .

Lila

Thanks for your truly inspiring comments on my portfolio

Ciao Lila,

beautiful gallery..You are a fine artist as well as a story teller..congratulations! Ciao Francesco

Thanks a lot for your comments. Your photos are stunning, with a great and beautiful message. Regards, Pedro.

Great portfolio showing India at its best, colorful images, good documentation of events, excellent travel photos. Excellent work.

Thanks Lila for your coment, but this sceene is not from a play. You have a very good portfolio.Many excellent and interesting photos in your country. Continue the good work.

its been a pleasure to browse through the images of mayapur. the photographs are great visually, but what sets them apart is the emotions captured on most of them. you have done a great job in capturing religon and its colors. the only other comment i've though is however great the images, you might want to be selective about them too.

regards

Chaitanya

Hello friend

I would like to wish you and your family Happy Holidays and a Good New Year! And say thank you for your support with your ratings and comments on my work over the last year. We are hoping to post some good weather photos this year. We start shooting sky photos in April thanks again for supporting my work.

Best wishes Ken

Have a Happy New Year!!! Love your images!!! Tamara

Dear Lila

Thanks for your visit again to my portfolio and your rewarding comments to it and to several of my photos. I can agree with your comment on my 'Grandfather'. The reason fot the grain that it's a photo, still taken with a traditional analogue camera and then scanned in with a Nikon slide scanner. The grain is that of a 400 ASA film. I have tried to reduce it, but then the image became too unsharp. After my first visit and comment a few months ago I came back to your portfolio several times. I can only repeat my previous comment. It's a beautifull and mostly inspiring portfolio: beyond the photographic quality it's a moving tribute to India, its people and its culture. My preferences? There are several: Mayapur Life, Mother Cow, Children, Many people in one place, your festival pictures. But I don't want to diminuish the value of the others. Those are all pictures which you only can make when you life there and are part of this society. As a tourist, we see only the external aspects of it. We (with my wife) we have visited several years ago the North (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Khajuraho, Benares) and it remains one our most beautifull and rewarding travel experiences. Maybe I should scan in more over the pictues, taken then and post them on PN We definitely will come back, e.g. to the South

Best regards

Jef

Happy new year,good light on the 2007.

What an amazing collection of photos about life in Mayapur! I think this portfolio is very important to the beautiful city of Mayapur as it documents almost every aspect of life there. Don't stop shooting.

Very good presentation of your country, spektaculare!

Stunning portfolio, full with colors and emotions. Thanks!

Very nice colours, wonderful portfolio

After seeing so many comments and critiques on your portfolio i think there`s nothing much left to say, specially in relation to your `photography`. Though going by your free flowing compostions, i personally believe that your images have more to do with faith & trust rather than just capturing them for the sake of photography.

Lila if you can catch hold of Neeraj Mahajan, Delhi based photographer, his series on `Bathing Festivals of India` is just Outstanding and reflects the power of faith to its maximum. I am sure you gonna love it!

Disillusion comes only to the illusioned. One cannot be disillusioned of what one never put faith in.

Regards

If that's what you love ...That is great. (my girlfriend said to say that to you and it made sense) The passion which makes you happy is what all human beings should be seeking. It is no straight or easy path. I feel like I cannot give in so easily. I am a catholic by upbringing but a Buddhist by practice and belief. I feel that my job on earth is more that of a gate keeper rather than an enjoyer of surrenderings. I spent months in India with a Christian mission, I visited Kovalam, Bombay, Madras and Sri Lanka but I did not learn a thing because I was young and arrogant . I did work one month building a school but I was worthless..except for the humor factor...all the Indian people I met were just cracking up looking at me. I will try to be a good human and show others how to be happy but I will not stick them with any dogma except that of being truthful and decent. You have found emotional enlightenmnent. I wish I could let myself do that too. You are a lucky one. I cannot let myself be the lucky one as you. There is a task at hand. My favorite picture of yours is the young girl holding the calf. Your portfolio is enjoyable but can be oppresive too until you show wider perspective of your world like the scenery of the temple or the picture of a small but exquisite sloping roof site of worship. Mother earth is the one in trouble..mother earth AND the cows. Vegeterians vs cannibals have no impact on the fate of the earth, but intentions and spirit do. You know that, right?`

Hi, I am looking for models. If u know of any then please let me know!

Dear Lila, You have a unique and colorful portfolio.You show interesting religiuos customs.Well done

Your's is one of those unique portfolios which make a great photographer. I am fascinated.

Thank you very much,hari bol.

One word - PERFECT!!!

Om. Zamechatelno!!!!!!!

I'd love to visit someday. Thank you for the invitation.

Best regards.

Vrindavan, My grateful thanks for your input and comments on my portfolio. You are of course correct in your analysis. 50 years as a professional gives the portfolio a 'commercial' look because, by its very nature, the photography is controlled by the needs of the client and in my interest to make money to survive. To try to break 'the bonds' I wrote the book 'Experimental Photgraphy' to get away from the mundane and commercial..This in turn has its own problems,it goes outside the norm and stretches the imagination upsetting the 'purists' and of course getting it wrong in many cases. I did produce another book on New York, purely black-and-white shots that was far away from my commercial world and most poeple agree this is my best work..I cannot for legal reasons put any shots on PN but if you go to my website :- johnwarrenphotography.com.....a few photographs are shown. Your portfolio is by the way of the highest standard, colourful ,clean, tight and professional, congratulations, so keep working hard at it....... For you interest my son, a professional musician runs a Jazz group ( devarecords.co.uk ) and is much influenced by Indian music. Two of his band members trained under Ravi and Neil Craig plays Tabla and Peter Mac Donald plays Mridungham..Give them a listen ...................and.............SMILE.... John

thanks for ur kind words ... on my last photo from halabja iam really glad to make our relision ship better ... we can sher some works

Thanks for your comments...Viewing your portfolio I had travelled around your colourful and unique world.I hope you contuinue showing us your talent...

Best Regards

Kevin

Thank you for you kind words regarding my Cap and Gown shot. I love your portfolio and the area you live in is beautiful and very interesting looking from the shots you have taken.

Отличная репортажная серия, жанровый портрет-ВЕЛИКОЛЕПЕН 7/7 Работы достойны публикации.

You've introduced us into a beautiful and interesting world through your portraits. Well done! Thanks for visiting my portfolio. :o)

Thanks for visiting my protfolio. I was fortunate this time to visit ISKON temple situated at Cherrapunjee (near to Shillong),surrounded by flat hills...a perfect place to find peace and tranquality. By next year I have to visit Mayapur...Krishna is in my heart.

Please do visit my portfolio...

Mahen

Thanks for your comment.your portfolio is very beautiful:rich of images,pictures,culture and feelings. Watching your photos i wish with all the heart to visit your country to more soon.

thank you for having commented to my photos:) I'm looking at your portfolio now and I can say it's great, you have a very good eye for documentary and give us such a beautiful and colorful glimpse of your world. Best regards from Mishu

.. first of all, I would like to thank you for leaving me comments on my photo.. most appreciated. I went then to scroll your portfolio for the first time and was stunned by the quality of your works. The display of colors, the ceremony on how you captured it , the temple were all amazing. Thanks again for the comments. -ixograndpa.

Thank you for the comment & rating on my photo. Your photos are amazing. I'll definately be back to see what's new. Very inspiring!

Vrindavan, Thank you much for commenting my photo. I am glad you did it as it brought me to your gallery. You do such a solid, coherent and inspired work ! It must be very rewarding for you. Wish you all the best, greetings from Portugal.

Thanks for commenting on my photograph. This was taken by my paternal grandfather around 1940. He worked for Conrinig Glass at the time and was involved with their publicity department as a photographer and artist. Corning was contracted to manufacture a 200" mirror for the worlds largest refracting telescope to be built in Mt. Palomar California. This telescope is still in use today. The picture you commented on was one of the final stages of the manufacturing process photographed by him as they were loading the packaged mirror on to a rail car. It was then shipped to California and Cal Tech university where the final polishing and aluminizing was done. Then it was installed in the cradle of the telescope.

I hope this give you an idea what this picture is all about.

Thanks for commenting on my image "Here Comes Josie To Save The Day..." I agree on the too much green thought. I have tried everything to tone down the green, nothing looks alright. I thought the composition might distract from the overly green look.

deb

I'm so sorry you felt it was not nice for me to only THANK YOU for your comment on my work. If you notice the time I posted the comment is was a few minutes before midnight and I was shutting down my computer for the night. I saw you commented on my image so I wanted to thank you before I shut down. I was planning on taking the time tonight to really take a look at your work as I ALWAYS do when someone takes the time to look at my work. If you look at my comments in response to a rating or comment, I ALWAYS TAKE THE TIME TO JOURNEY THROUGH THEIR PORTFOLIO! I don't know what else to say other than it was a very disappointing e-mail I received from you and you made me feel as if I was self absorbed in my own work. I'm a VERY postive person therefore I'm going to excuse your less than polite e-mail.

deb

I finally had a chance to take a journey through your work. You have some very interesting images that have captured a great deal of emotion and spirit. I think your black and white images are very good. deb

Wonderful portfolio. I found it very educational. I will be back again to see what is new. ~Danielle

Divinely beautiful!

After a long, long time I have come back to your portfolio. What I see here are the shots of not people but of their innermost souls. I would not like to comment on the technical aspects of your photos for two reasons; one, I am a beginner myself and two, your photos convey a feeling and touch the mind as many photos with the latest technical gizmos don't. I think you are a true devotee of the Lord and have been able to, through your work, give us a peep into your mind as well.

I have never visited Mayapur, but having seen the place through your photos, have a will to do so now. You have shown Mayapur as a "magical" place (as close a relevant translation as I can make now). Thank you so much for making my country your home and thank you for showing the world what a beautiful place it is.

It will be of immense pleasure if you visit my portfolio and have a look at what I have had to offer so far. As opposed to your one, mine is more materialistic but I have taken a few lessons from your photos and hopefully will infuse some more "life" into what I shoot from now on.

Very beautiful portofolio with excellent photos. You have really a very interesting and expressive portfolio full of life. Congrats !

Hello Vrindavan , thank you for looking at my work and for your honest feedback. Your work specially the black and white series is beautiful and full of soul and spirituality . I find it difficult to talk about your work from a technical prespective since what jumps at me is the incredible and beautiful portrait of " being a person " that you have been able to convey in your photos . I will continue to look at your portfolio from time to time for inspiration and peace .

Love and Light

Jose

What a special portfolio!!!

Great vision of an unknow world for me! Full of colors and souls!

Thanks and I'll back for more soon!

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

I think that if I had visited your portfolio before coming across your photo "Srila Prabhupada in the temple room, Mayapur, 2007", I may have remained silent. You obviously have much more experience and skill than I. You have a marvelous and extensive portfolio; one could spend hours or days here. Thanks for taking the time to visit my portfolio. I had never thought of my pictures as being "blue" but I do like polarized skies. I've worked harder on the recent uploads to get the color more to my liking, which often means reducing the saturation on blue and, especially, cyan. Again, thanks for taking the time to comment.

carl

Thank you very much for your comments !!! Namast蟟__CIAO___MS

All the best for the holiday season, from my family to yours.

Cordial greetings!

felice natale e un magico 2008 da alex ...milano.italy........

hare Krishna Lila, I am very thankful to you for your kind and valuable and knowledgeable comments. I am agree with your point on framing 'coz so many senio/professional photographer noticed that. Actully I am beginner in this feild and have no idea if xyz looks good or not. secondly i saw this kind of framing somewhre and liked that and start doing this with my pictures. At that time i cant understand what is the purpose of framing and whats its meaning to pictures. And i am very thankful to you that u told me about that and help me to improve my vision and sense of framing. With blessing Ankur Thatai

I love the capture of colors, people, life, spirituality and life you have in your images...thank you so much for sharing!

Love,

Joseph.

Beautifull portfolio, thank you for commenting my photograph...

Vrindava, You have a wonderful portfolio! You definetly are an accomplished documentary photographer, and just an all around excellent photographer. Your images really give a feeling of being present. Some of the shots look like paintings."Lord Narasimha celebration in Mayapur, May 2006." Very nice, although I don't understand the rituals, they kind of scare me. Anyhow, If you ever leave give me a call. John

Hi Vridavan, thank you for encouraging comments on my portfolio. Your photos is just a miracle!

Thanks for your comments Lila.Your portfolio, although it's vast and difficult to be monitored, it's full of colours and people, almost to the point of an anthropologic study than just photos.Impressive, sensitive and artistic as well.One of the most complete works i've seen till now.My best wishes

Thanks to have visited my place. As you know now my home is somewhere in Pushkar and I hope one day my portfolio will be as rich and expressive than yours to show, as you, how much this place have transformed me. I found the peace of the heart there although it is not God who contributed to it but my friends and their kindness to share their life whith me. Apka nae frans ka dost, Roger.

Nice portfolio to see Indian religion activities. Other shots are nice too.

Hare krishna, preety lady, thanks for the comments, I liked the way you seen it, you noticed about the hugeness of the structure. Actualy the presence of people in the garden is prohibited so I couldn't captured....

Hare Krishna spiritual lady, this does happen after time to time, culture changes, economical changes, tochnological changes, so many changes does happen after time to time, place to place, from one to another. I do like the older culture of India, I am missing this soulfull culture now days, from India, and this is realy sad. finaly there is only one truth.... all over the world, some understand and many refuse... this time is known as 'KALYUGA'... End of the world..... New start takes place.... This is 'KALCHAKRA'... which keeps going....

Grazie mille commento che apprezzo tantissimo.

We recently replied to the same post about weddings and how many prints to offer and we both have the same philosophy on how to shoot weddings- we don't want to miss a thing. I appreciated your honest reply and then visited your portfolio. What a beautiful culture. I especially love your Kartika group. I am finding myself drawn more and more to dark captures with the warm light of fire. Thank you for sharing. Amy

Thank you for commenting on my Vietnam shots, and for pushing me to finish the text for a presentation of my Vietnam work. I will get back to work on it. Looking through your portfolio is like taking a personal tour of India through the eyes of someone who understands her subject. It is very well done, insightful collection. Best regards, Glenn
