when you leave Vrindavana you Vrindavana consciouness is 80 percent gone?

[Paramananda das]

dear Bhurijana Prabhu
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada

I was reading your article :Why Krsna left
you write :
In taxi, as you leave, as you reach the highway, it is 80% gone. And in the airport, then abroad, it is very difficult to keep the sweetness of Vrndavan. But as a person taking a lot of photographs I can’t fail to notice that outside there is no life, while in Vrndavan all the trees, landscapes are alive.

This is my comment , we all know Srila Prabhupadas desire to spread Krsna consciousness all over the world , if he wanted every member to just give up preaching in the west and go stay in Vrindavana he would certainly have said so , as a matter of fact in one letter Srila Prabhupadas and I unfortunatly do not have it on front of me, but he stated everyone should be preaching KC all over the world ,however those not abel to preach can stay in Vrindavana and Mayapure and we will maintain them. see also SB 7.9.44 purport :

Rather, every member of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is interested in going door to door to try to convince people about the teachings of Bhagavad-gītā As It Is, the teachings of Lord Caitanya. That is the purpose of the Hare Kṛṣṇa movement. The members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must be fully convinced that without Kṛṣṇa one cannot be happy. Thus the Kṛṣṇa conscious person avoids all kinds of pseudo spiritualists, transcendentalists, meditators, monists, philosophers and philanthropists

I recall reading and hearing a lecture from Srila Prabhupada from 1966 where he states he missed Sri Vrindavana very much ,so yes that seperation is there , we all have learned this from Srila Prabhupada according to our own individual realization .Some devotees do not miss Vrindavana dham some even avoid it , yes there is such devotees, they glorify externally but will never even go to Vrindavana.

Then you wrote : Appropriately, according to our level, not artificially – we cannot artificially do this. We can be inspired by one day chanting 64 rounds, “from now on I will always be listening when I am chanting” – but this is not possible, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says, due to rajas and tamas. We need to live the right life, as Maharaja read on the first day [SB 1.3.44p]. Sattva guna gives the mind so much more capacity to apply ourselves to KC.

My question is why can anyone that lives in Vrindavana not chant the Yugal Kisora Mahamantra Hare Krsna mantra 64 rounds daily ?There should be no excuses .Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada was very strict on this .What question is there on Vraja mood and not chanting 64 rounds minimum.In Hari Nama Cintamani it is clearly stated that one should increase ones chanting to 64 rounds and then from there even to futher .So if those living in Vraja and Mayapura have not understood this ,then who will ?

Yes we can remember Sri Vrindavana Dham my Gurudeva wrote a Parikrama book of Sri Vrindavana dham so daily I remember to many places in Vraja and I chant 64 rounds minimum as was instructed to me by my Gurudeva Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja .Sometimes I remember Krsnas Asta Kaliya lilas and I read Govinda Lilamrta and Krsna Bhavanamrta, I also read 10th canto of Bhagavatam .So who says we can not be in Vrindavana consciouness outside of Vraja?
Visvambara Goswami from Radha Raman temple told me in 1986 that remember daily all the improtant places in Vraja and chant Hare Krsna , and worship Giriraja (He had blessed me to worship Govardhana sila ) so since that time I worship Govardhana sila and because I live close to Govardhana Sila and daily offer Him prayers wherever I live is Vraja due to the mercy of Sri Vrindavana dham and Sri Giriraja, but of course I miss Vrindavana and doing parikramas daily .But I have also seen how neophytes can live in Vrindavana and simply make envious politics because they are still materialists at heart .Kamsa and other demons also lived in Vraja (because Mathura is also part of Vraja) so even demons benefit from living in Vraja , at least Krsna personally will kill them.I can sit here in USA and think of Krsna Balarama and take their daily online darshan .

Srila Narayana Maharaja advised me to daily chant minimum 64 rounds and also to study Manah siksa daily in this way always live in Vraja .Our bookdistribution is also in the mood of Vraja because I am thinking by distributing these books such as Updesamrta ,Nectar of instruction one day this person will understand Vrindavana .Vrindavana is everywhere by the grace of Lord Caitanyas sankirtana movement .Bhagavad Purana das told me last time I left Vrindavana , that bookdistribution is like Bible sales.But we are not distributing Bibles we are distributing Srila Prabhupadas books , and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada called bookdistribution for real service to Mayapure , actually printing and distributing bhakti sastras.

Just some thoughts ,I like to share , I do appriciate VIHE and glad to see it is still going on nicely

TRANSLATION
1) Let me not have mystic powers, impersonal liberation, the Lord's association in Vaikuntha, or even pure love for Him, if instead of them I may reside in Vrndavana.

2) When Brahma and Uddhava, the crest jewels of devotees, saw the intense sweetness here, they begged to take birth here even as a blade of grass. For this reason I pray to reside in Vrndavana.

3) Here the gopis glorified the earth, saying: "O Earth, what austerities have you done, so that your surface is now marked with Krishna's footprints?" May I reside in Vrndavana.

4) May I reside in Vrndavana where, because the Vedas say raso vai sah (The Supreme Personality of Godhead is sweetness), transcendental sweetness attained its highest perfection in the gopis' passionate love.

5) Although only five yojanas in circumference, bounded by Bhandiravana, Govardhana Hill and the rasa-dance arena, it is unlimited in transcendental opulence. May I reside in Vrndavana.

6) Because Vrsabhanu's daughter is the queen, and because here the happiness of pure love of God rises, I yearn to live here. I pray: May I reside in Vrndavana.

7) Even by performing many austerities goddess Lakshmi could not enter the great rasa-dance pastime here. May I reside in the splendidly beautiful groves of Vrndavana.

8) May I reside in Vrndavana, where the ruru and nyanku deer fearlessly play, the cuckoos, bumblebees, and parrots sing, and the peacocks dance.

9) They who with great concentration read aloud this Vrndavanastaka, at the end of this life attain direct service to the lotus feet of Vrndavana's master.

all the prayers of Stavamrta Lahari can be chanted and read daily starting with Guruvastakam we sing daily even when you are socalled not in Vrindavana , everything is expansion of Vrindavana ,Krsnas original Abode Goloka Vrindavana , so everywhere we can remember Bhauma Vrindavana and Goloka Vrindavana
