What is the significance of the place, Vrindavan?
Vrindavan, a forest full of basil (a sacred plant for Hindus), where Lord Krishna as a child and in adolescence used to play and graze his cows alongwith other shepherd boys and girls. It is here that he performed many of his leelas or games to enlighten the people about his divinity. It is here that great saints & yogis realized the ultimate, not by going through the rigours of Hatha Yoga but through Bhakti Yoga or complete surrender to the supreme. It was surrender in love and not submission, that the great saints became one with the supreme in the form of Lord Krishna and his divine consort Radha. Such was the intensity of love and surrender of the saints, that Vrindavan became the center of Krishna Bhakti and continues to remain so. It is in this milieu of the faithful and, some priests who are only commercial in nature, one realizes that both good and bad, bright and dark, exist side by side and are a part of the picture at large.

What is so exciting about the place, today ?
One can still find great saints who maintain a low profile and do not seek recognition, as they remain always in a blissful state of immersion in the supreme. It is with great fortune that one gets to meet them and also get guidance from such realized souls. Visit an ashram, where after meeting the saint, you can visit the inner areas, where there is a tree, on which the words "Radhe" appear naturally inscribed in the bark. They say that it was in this area that Lord Krishna used to wait for his divine consort Radha and used to call out her name "Radhe" with intense love. A line of great saints have meditated at this very spot making not only the ground but even the trees, bush and everything else sacred.
