Krishna\u2019s Fascination.
\nBy Sacinandana Swami: Krishna is fascinated with the land and people of Vrindavan.
\nThe Bhagavatam says (10.1.28): \u201cThe city and district of Mathura,\u201d Vrindavan is part of that, \u201care very intimately connected with Krishna, for Lord Krishna lives there eternally.\u201dNityam sannihito harihi \u2013 He is there eternally.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is there,\u201d writes Vishvanath Chakravarti Thakur, \u201cthat Krishna appears and becomes visible to the people of the world. And He stays there forever.\u201d He does not descend from Vaikuntha, one of His many spiritual planets. No, He is right there as Krishna in Vrindavan.<\/p>\n
In His early childhood, Krishna crawled in the mud near the house of Nanda Baba. He was so fascinated with Vrindavan that He and Balarama didn\u2019t mind winding through the earth wet from cow urine like two little snakes. Later Krishna left the village and went further into the forest, and even though He and His friends were decorated by their mothers in the morning, they later put these costly clothes aside and dressed in forest attire. They gathered peacock feathers, mango twigs and leaves and decorated their bodies with them. Then they painted each other with soft minerals. It must have looked quite colorful \u2013 yellow, red, green, blue\u2026 and then they played, played and played.<\/p>\n
But of all the people in Vrindavan, of everything the Vrindavan forest offers to Krishna, He is especially fascinated by Shrimati Radharani.<\/p>\n
Krishna Himself says: \u201cI have become a cowherd in the forest and now I wander about with my cows simply to see you, oh Radha.\u201d<\/p>\n
The land of Vrindavan inspires everyone who goes there with a strong impetus of bhakti (love) to go to Radha and Krishna, to go back home, back to Godhead.<\/p>\n
During your life, read Vrindavan related things in the Bhagavatam and you will develop an attachment to what is on Krishna\u2019s mind and in this way come closer to Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
