    Question: He is asking to give examples of Vrindavan.
    00:00:05
    Can you, please, give. Just one or two examples of life in Vrindavan - what is it like there? Bhakti Lalita: Ok. Our grandfather, Guru, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami maharaj in His " Golden Volcano" gives a very beautiful discription and several examples of Vrindavan and He begans by explaining that it's "aprakrita".
    00:00:45
    It's super mundane, it's not mundane, but appearing ordinary, appearing human like, but actually the topmost level of divine and is explains how it's plan of affection, of love, of mercy
    00:01:19
    And how the residents there are all very powerful and very elevated the most elevated, spiritually elevated souls in existence
    00:01:39
    But they think themselves lonely, ordinary and they live a very simple life and Srila Sridhar Maharaj said: " You will find they're so powerful, but out of affection and love they appear in a very humble way, not thinking themselves great, he said: "Power dressed in affection and love and couched in humility".
    00:02:27
    And example of that- the mother who has a blind son, out of her section she feels her sun has lotus eyes
    00:02:46
    And how a king not recognise his powerful position can play with the child on the street can makes with see ordinary people out of affection without feeling so big and powerfull and how the doctor can do the work governors out of affection for the patient.
    00:03:22
    So great and so exulted, but without the areas bigness, without the attitude of greatness and so that exemplify Srila Gurudev as well, Srila Givinda Maharaj is nature and His dealings with all of us
    00:03:56
    He was very humble, very powerful, very exalted, but mixing with us, like a dear most friend, like our father, like our mother. Very sweet and approachable He was so great. So, He had that brajabasi nature, nature of residents of Vrindavan.
    00:04:30
    We lived with Him and saw Him, how He operated, it was all very much like that, like a bradjabasi and we got so much mercy from Him.
    00:04:58
    Ceaselessly, He didn't have to be so merciful and extended himself over-extended himself for our benefit. In very informal, very liberal, kind, generous, but so great. So, Vrindavan is like that, residents like that.
    00:05:33
    It's beyond all the plans of existence, out of this material mundane plane, going to the topmost level of transcendental world. That's were Vrindavan is loсated. And that Vrindavan is brought to the earth by Krishna in his Krishna lila pastimes.
