Vrindavan: Where Every Particle Sings
Why the saints say that the dust of Vrindavan is dearer to Shri Krishn than all the heavens.
The saints of Braj have a saying: every particle of Vrindavan dust is a servant of Shri Radha Rani. To walk here is to walk on something sacred, and the old devotees would not even wear shoes within the parikrama.
For a newcomer the town can seem noisy and crowded. But stay a few days, rise early, and walk to the Yamuna when the bells of a hundred temples begin together. Something in the air begins to make sense. The scriptures call this place aprakat, hidden, and say that it reveals itself only to those who come with patience.
Vyas Ji, who gave up a king's court for a grove beside Sewa Kunj, sang that the trees of Vrindavan were his mother, his father, his children and his kin. Shri Yugal Kishor Juu has been served in that grove ever since. We invite you to come and take darshan, and to spend a quiet hour in the courtyard where every particle sings.
