For Indian tourists coming via rail or road, you can take a train up to Mathura and as soon as you step outside the Railway Station, on-board any shared auto or hire a small auto to Vrindavan. It is just a 20-minute drive (around 20 KM) from the railway station to Vrindavan. The small auto […]
Restaurants and Places to eat in Vrindavan
Prasadam (or food) is not an issue here in Vrindavan. There are a lot of restaurants and local food shops in Vrindavan. I have mentioned only the restaurants that don’t use onion and garlic as Vaishnavas avoid these two ingredients from their prasad (food). If you are coming to Vrindavan, I would suggest you to […]
Hotels in Vrindavan
Except for Kartik (in Oct-Nov), and on weekends (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) since 2021 Covid, you can easily get a hotel in Vrindavan throughout the year without any rush. For Kartik and on weekends usually, it’s really difficult to find hotel rooms for an overnight stay as thousands of pilgrims from across the globe visit […]
Why devotional life should not be artificially imitated and how to take to devotional life with a strong foundation?
For genuine sincere seekers, devotional life should not be rushed to bhav stage (Read 9 stages of devotional life) on social media as is the trend all around, unfortunately. Many reels and social media culture show direct Prema and Rasa without the seekers taking to elementary process like bhajan kriya, sadhu sang, anartha nivritti (Read […]
Mayavada / Advaita / Impersonalist Philosophy | Why bonafide Acharyas are very strongly against Mayavada?

They say that there is nothing but only spiritual effulgence (brahman or impersonal formless feature). They follow principle of ‘aham brahasmi’ or I am Brahman, and ‘sarvavam khalvidam brahman’ or all […]
Guru Acharya Shishya Parampara
For spiritual perfection, a seeker should take shelter of a bonafide Guru coming in line with authentic Guru Shishya Parampara under any of 4 Sampradayas (Read about Guru Tattva here). The Guru Shishya Parampara in Brahma Madhava Gaudiya Sampradaya Krishna Brahma Narada Vyasa Madhva Muni (Purnaprajna) Padmanabha Narhari Madhava Aksobhya Madhava Aksobhya Jayatirtha Jnanasindhu Dayanidhi Vidyanidhi […]
Divine Couple!! ❤️❤️
Divine Couple or Yugal Jodi (in Hindi) is a beautiful, heartfelt and ecstatic term coined by Rasika Acharyas to address the Lords of their life – our Queen Srimati Radharani and Shyamsundar Krishna! They are the Supreme Personality of the Godhead, the cause of all causes and the owner of the entire creation! For vrajvasis, […]
Why Hare Krishna Movement is COMPLETE and why Srila Prabhupada has given ALL? Is diksha mandatory to get Sriji and Krishna? Why institutionalisation is necessary evil?
In course of the spiritual path, many seekers who take shelter of Srila Prabhupada in their initial days of spiritual journey, often meet with ‘devotees’ from different sampradaya or mood, and get this doubt that remains mostly unanswered. It is a bold, straight-forward, and very important discussion for those who want to be attached further […]
