An Outpouring of Gratitude and Heartfelt Appreciation | HG Vaiśeṣika Dāsa | Govardhana |14 Nov 2024

I've seen that coming to Vṛndāvana—especially, I mean, I'm coming to India three times a year now—but this is a special kind of retreat. And I agree with you on the intensity I've seen. It takes a while to get in resonance with the environment here, and if you fall out of resonance, it can be torture, because you could be here and then not want to be here. That can happen. The mind can just flip, and then you're gone. So, it's a real art. It's like surfing or something, you know? Learning to catch the wave while you're here and staying on it—don't wipe out. I've seen that as a really important part of my sādhana, to come to the dhāma very deliberately, to leave things behind and be incognito in many ways, although not completely, and then to spend the time here and ride those waves. It takes cultivation to be able to resonate with the dhāma. I mean, some people come here and then they wear a t-shirt that says, "I Left My Heart in Vṛndāvana," and that's probably true because it's charming. But, as you were saying, going anywhere and then living there in your heart, you have to have a relationship here. Means Kṛṣṇa is a person, and ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayas tad-dhāma vṛndāvanam. There's no difference between Kṛṣṇa and his dhāma—they are non-different. So, to come here and then be able to feel welcomed here, and also to feel that this is becoming more and more the place, the only place you really want to be even when you're somewhere else, I think that takes a lifetime of dedication, of coming on a regular basis. That's why Prabhupāda kept telling us every year we had to come. It was something he ordered all his disciples: he said, "Just come, whatever you're doing," because there were so many thoughts. "Yeah, but we're building a temple," or "Is it just come?" You have to come. So, I really like the way you were thinking about that and the feeling of resonating with the dhāma.
