The magical journey continued as we headed towards the Pleasure Garden of Radha and Krishna – Vrindavan.
Dr. Pillai wanted the group’s first initiation into Radha-Krishna consciousness to be in the divine energy of this sacred city.
He had already declared, “Radha and Krishna are inviting us to their place of power, Vrindavan. I will absorb and transmit their energy of a Perfect Life to people throughout the world. The people with me on this Trip have the blessing of being initiated into the Perfection of Radha Krishna Consciousness, and welcoming the Golden Age from the Vortex of Perfection.”
As promised, all the participants experienced an empowering meditation from Dr Pillai in the heavenly premises of the ISKCON temple at Vrindavan.
Then, a 40-year old lady-devotee of Sri Prabhupada, Founder of ISKCON, addressed the group and provided an awe-inspiring tour of Prabhupada’s private quarters.
The best part of the day was when she led us with a heart-rending chant of this power-packed hymn, which Krishna himself revealed to sage Narada:
Hare Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Fully soaked in the nectar of Bhakti (devotion), we proceeded to visit the wonderful temples of Vrindavan. Riding on speedy cycle-rickshaws, we whizzed through narrow streets while being greeted by wide, smiling faces of the onlookers.
The rich vibrations of Radha and Krishna’s love and perfection could be felt even amidst the apparent poverty. Peace and beauty emanating from this place went beyond the senses, straight into one’s soul. We were so thankful to this authentic city for giving us such a wholesome experience of life.
Thereafter, the group witnessed a rare sight in one of the temples. On one side, we were face-to-face with the oldest Krishna statue on earth, and on the other side, we had Dr. Pillai himself adorned in divine ‘prasad’ from the archetype. The mood soon turned festive.
“Bliss and ecstasy are going to be the keywords, and we are not going to accept anything else”, these words from Dr. Pillai stayed embedded in our hearts as we concluded yet another perfectly blessed day.
