presented with the Divinity of Kripaluji
Maharaj.
In the devotion hall on the upper floor of the building,

The
Greatness of Vrindaban
The
district where Radha Krishna descended in absolute Divine
beauty nearly 5,000 years ago is known as the Braj or
Mathura district.
It was in Vrindaban that Radha Krishna revealed to the
Gopis called maharas the most overwhelming and intimate
Bliss of Divine love. For the devotees of Radha Krishna,
Vrindaban and Barsana are the most pre-eminent leela places
in Braj.
It was in Braj that all the important gods and goddesses of
the celestial abodes took birth as human beings in order to
serve the supreme Divinity, Radha Krishn, and to receive
the blessings of loving Bliss.
Assuming the form of a maiden of Braj, the God Shiv took up
residence in Braj. She joined the group of the Gopis, and
the Mahalakchmi, the supreme Creators of the universe. She
used Her abilities to beautify the grounds of the Braj
where Radha Krishn walked, played, and rejoiced.
Understanding and accepting these references one can
apprehend the spiritual greatness of Vrindaban and Barsana.
