Many people throughout the world who are in search of beauty and truth have been captivated by the magnificent country of India. Ancient Indians produced outstanding advances in philosophy, astronomy, medicine, and architecture long before the emergence of Greek art and philosophy and the establishment of the Roman Empire, which would have a long-lasting impact on the development of Western civilisation.
While the majority of Old World civilizations have fallen into disrepair, ancient India's culture has endured, retaining many of its social and religious conventions. The Indian subcontinent is a vibrant museum with astounding diversity in almost every facet of life.
"The one land that all men long to visit, and having seen it once, by merely a glance, would not give up that glimpse for all the shows of the rest of the world put together."
― Mark Twain, following his 1896 trip to India
Vrindavan is a small town with 5,000 temples that is located eighty miles southeast of Delhi on the banks of the revered Yamuna River. It is regarded as one of the holiest locations for pilgrimage in India. Vrindavan has a special place since it is the home of Krishna and the location where it is thought that heaven first manifested itself in all its fullness on Earth. People from all over the world come to Vrindavan to worship and enjoy the magnificent heritage and knowledge of devotional yoga (bhakti), which is practised there.
Everybody are welcome to view Vrindavan as a gateway to the eternal realm of love and beauty that the human heart longs for, rather than as an obscure location in the remote country of India.
The basil plant tulasi, whose leaves and petals are offered to Krishna by his devotees as part of their adoration, is the source of the name Vrindavan, which literally translates to "forest of tulasi." Alternative meanings for the name Vrindavan include "Country of Community" and "Forest of Devotion."
The region surrounding Vrindavan is known as Braja Mandala, or "The Circle of Braja," and it has a circumference of about 50 kilometres. The atmosphere of a village still permeates Vrindavan, despite its quickly expanding population. One can find the entrance to yet another secret shrine in practically every alley. At Mathura, which is located seven kilometres downstream the Yamuna on the primary railroad route from Delhi to Agra, one can get to Vrindavan by auto rickshaw or bus. It takes about two to three hours to get directly from New Delhi to Vrindavan via taxi.
THE ONE PLACE THAT ALL MEN WANT TO SEE, AND AFTER SEEING, BY EVEN A GLIMPSE, WOULD NOT GIVE UP THAT GLIMPSE FOR ALL OF THE SHOWS OF THE REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED.
