Brij Dham Vrindavan Dham

A few moments before he chose to give up the mortal body in favour of reunion to the universal self, Pitamah Bhishm spoke to Yudhishthir about the glory of Lord Krishna. The concluding remarks of this dialogue were:

N vasudev bhaktanam ashubham viddyate kwachit

Janm mrityu jara vyadhi bhayam naivopjayate

That is, nothing inauspicious, even in traces exists for the devotees of Lord Vasudev Krishna. The devotee need not be afraid of the rigors of birth, death, old age or the diseases.

How could he spoke so emphatically in presence of Lord Krishna Himself? Because Krishna Himself told Arjun only a few days back, at the time of opening of the Great War:

Sarva dharman parityajya mamekam sharanam vraj

Ahm tvam sarva papebhyo mokshyayishyami ma shuchi

That is, giving up all your duties and affiliations surrender to me. I shall get you relieved of all your sins, do not worry.

This is the abstract of the abstract of Shrimad bhagvat gita – do not worry, surrender to me.

Surrender is the outstanding feature of devotion, bhakti. But this bhakti itself evades the seeker and is not easily attainable.

In the land of Brijmandal, particularly Vrindavan, Bhakti and specially Madury Bhakti is achieved effortlessly. As Shrimad bhagvat Mahapuran says:

Dhanyam vrindavanam ten bhaktirnrityati yatra ch

That is, blessed is the land of Vrindavan where devotion is in full bloom.

So a mental pilgrimage to Vrindavan is a very satisfying experience granting you peace.

In Vrindavan, most revered Thakur Shri Banke Bihariji Maharaj is the embodiment of Madhury bhakti. As Swami Shri Haridas writes:

Prem samudra, roop ras gahre, kaise pavon thah

That is, You (Lord Shri Banke Bihariji Maharaj) are the ocean of love, the cosmic beauty and eternal bliss of this ocean is so deep that nobody can measure it.

So, why just stand on the banks of this ocean when you have the opportunity to enter in and take a plunge.

All are welcome here to experience the proximity of Lord by crossing over the long distances mentally
