The Nectar Glory of Sri Vrindavan Dham ( Sataka - 1, Text - 12 ) Part - 43

After attaining the platform of Brahman happiness by performing severe austerities, the personified Upanisads worshipped the Pesonality of Godhead without any reservation, and thus obtained His mercy. By the mercy of the Lord they were able to become surabhi cows in the landof Vraja and enjoy the direct association of Sri Krishna, and by constantly grazing on the grass of Vrindavana, they become filled with the nectarean taste of the topmost mellows of pure devotional love for the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha-Krishna.

Sri Vrindavana-dhama is perfect in all respects, and those who claim that there are defects in Vrindavana are blind fools who have become the laughingstock for everyone. O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, I simply pray unto You that on my deathbed I shall not have the misfortune to be holding any of them.

Manifesting the wonderful inundation of Their mutual love, and also revealing Their great expertise and the beauty of Their transcendental forms, Sri Sri Radha-Krishnaa, who are like the dancing arena for the eternally victorious and maddening cupid, perform pastimes in this landof Vrindavana, accompanied by Their many gopi-associates.

When we see Radharani's grove, which is known as Vrndavana, we are struck with wonder. That Vrndavana is filled with the most perfectand pure ecstatic love for Krishna. All the residents of that Vrndavana arelike madmen intoxicated by that transcendental love.

Because Krishna's Vrindavana, the shelter of the surabhi cows, is the place where the gopis performed their pastimes, it is superior to all other holy places, such as Dwaraka, Mathura (Where Lord Krsna performed His birth-pastimes), Vaikunthha, or the transcendental, subtle, expansive Brahman effulgence, which is the secondary cause of material creation.

The Nectar Glory of Sri Vrindavan Dham ( Sataka - 1, Text - 7 ) Part - 38

Vrindavana reverberates with both the sounds of the cuckoos singing the fifth note and the sweet music of Krishna's flute. There are many blossoming creepers and trees, whose brances are the residences forsinging and dancing peacocks. Vrindavana is inhabited by many colorful birds, and many wonderful varieties of deer and other animals. It is filled with many various excellent lakes, streams, and hills, such as Govardhana Hill. Let me meditate on this land of Vrindavana.
