anyer hRday – mon mor mon vRndAvan
"mone" "bone" ek kori jAni |

tabe tomar pUrNa kRpa mAni || (C.C madhya 13/137)


"Speaking in the mood of Shrimati Radharani, Caitanya MahAprabhu said, “For most people, the mind and heart are one, but because My mind is never separated from Vrindavan, I consider My mind and Vrindavan to be one. My mind is already Vrindavan, and since You like Vrindavan, will you please place Your lotus feet there? I would deem that Your full mercy."

KrsnAM smaran janaM cAsya preSThaM nija samIhitam |
tat tat kathA-rataz cAsau kuryAd vAsaM vraje sadA || ( BRS.1/2/294)


"One should remember Shri Krishna and His dear associate of one's owm preference, being attached to narrations about them and always residing in Vraja."

Vraja-vAsa is one of the five main items of bhajana that has inconceivable potencies. So through lIlA-smaraNa let us contemplate on that and make our heart to be one with Vrindavan.

- Vrindavana Mahimamrita - Sri Prabodhananda Saraswati

"Undisturbed and becoming dumb
to others' jokes mocking myself,
deaf and blind even to others' evident faults, and
inactive like a stone in the matter of bringing others
even the slightest pain, when will I reside in this
Vrindavana forest, the garden of Hari's Beloved?"
