Vrindavana
Vrindavana is the land of festivals where Krsna also dances when you chant and dance
Vrindavan
Staying in Vrndavana is purifying tapsya.
HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj
Like Black Spots On a White Sheet
In the pure atmosphere of the Lord’s land, our impurities stand out clearly, like black spots on a white sheet. Out here we see how far we have come in spiritual life and how far we have to go. Yet, this is encouraging, it increases our desire for purification, so that one day we may become qualified to reside eternally in Vrindavana.
Dhama is not part of any country or any planet.
Mathura Vrindavan is ‘achuta’ like Lord – infallible, earth could fall we are reading here but not
Mathura Vrindavan, earth may come to end one day but not Mathura Vrindavan.
The Mood on the Way
You cannot purchase a ticket, the train does not take you, the plane does not take you to Vrindavan and Puri. The mood on the way to Vrindavan or Puri will bring us there.
The Way Back Home
As you sing, read the songs of Narottama Dasa Thakura all the teachings of the Vedas are there. So they have access to Vedas and all the sastras and we just get a little glimpse of what he is trying to convey, more or less depending upon how much surrendered souls we are, how much purified souls we are, to that degree we understand that song of Narottama Dasa Thakura.
Vrindavan Dham
If one wants to be delivered by Krishna directly he must take to the service of residence of Vrindavan who are unalloyed devotee of the Lord.
Follow the foot of Gopis
Vrajavadhu the gopis of Vrindavan, the damsels of Vrindavan, the cowherd girls of Vrindavan they are the ideal devotees, the topmost devotees, most dear devotees of the Lord and if you want to follow in the footsteps ‘mahajanohin gatah sapantah’ the gopis are Mahajanas and Radharani is their leader.
Residing in Vrindavan is tapasaya-
Vrindavan is non-different from Krishna. So staying here is tapasya, which is purifying and the result is anant.
Lokanath Maharaj on Vrindavan dham
There are ten offenses against the holy name; ten offenses against the dham and this is one of them, to think that Vrindavan is a part of India.
