Friends of Vrinda,
Greetings from Vrindavan.

It is a great pleasure for me to have responsibilities in holy places like Vrindavan and Mathura, and even more to have a very good relationship with Vrinda Kunja.

Vrindavan is very nice and pious, where Lord Krishna performs all His activities; Vrindavan that enchants the heart of everybody in the whole world, thousands of years back and that will continue this glory till the end of the planet. I am very grateful to Lord Krishna for this, that I live on this miraculous planet earth, where Lord Krishna has performed many miracles in different forms, like when He was a child, as a soldier, as a religious preacher, and finally as the preacher of the Absolute Truth. So, Vrindavan is the reflection of Lord Krishna in each heartbeat, not only in man, but also in each creature as the animals, the birds and also in the dust of Vrindavan. The Vrajavasis always say that Lord Krishna come each night and performs here His lila to grant the chanting and enchantment to the Vrajavasis. People say that Seva Kunja is the best place for the pastimes of Lord Krishna. He comes to Seva Kunja each night, because in the mornings one can find scattered things in the park, things one doesn't know where it come from. So, coming to this pious and miraculous earth, due to the presence of Lord Krishna, many saints and preachers like Swami Hari Das, Rupa Goswami and others, spent many years until they left this world in Vrindavan. Therefore I am proud to be the official executive representative of the government here in Vrindavan and also in Mathura.

I want to tell you the true history of my life before they gave me this post here in Mathura and Vrindavan. I was in Hatras UP, at the same post, when I was transferred to Vrindavan. This impressed me, because Vrindavan is smaller than Hatras, but when I came here, I realized that this impression was caused by my stupidity. In reality Lord Krishna embraced me when He called me here. All of this was His prasadam, His mercy and His pastime with me. In each moment I realize that Lord Krishna is always around me, or telling me to do my duty, especially to help the poor and develop Vrindavan.

Before coming to Vrindavan, there was a hurricane in my mind, I was always very busy. Later I realized that my heart was refreshed and calmed down. Vrindavan is not only the land and the town - it is the true place where Lord Krishna lives, where people find the solutions for all their problems. Imagine, this is achieved only by praying to Lord Krishna. Each vrajavasi represents Lord Krishna.

Here are many nice temples, like Radha-Govindaji, Banka-bihari, Krishna-Balaram of Iskcon, etc., but among all of them, Vrinda Kunja is the most wonderful for me, and its deities also. The religious preacher Swami B.A. Paramadvaiti has done a great job for Vrindavan and thaks to our prayers to the Lord, Swami Paramadvaiti and I are working very well together for the development of the Krishna Lila Park in Vrindavan and the Brahma Kunda.

The development of Vrindavan is all by the mercy of Lord Krishna. This is the mercy of the Lord over me. Swami B.A. Paramadvaiti called me as the secretary of Vrinda at the request of Vrindavan, to make what is possible and impossible for Sri Radha-Govinda in the land of Bharata varsa.

My respectful greetings to all of you on the other side of this chat and I apply or you to please vome to Vrindavan, at least once in life and realize, sense the blessings of Lord Krishna in your heart and make your life full of love and chanting the Holy Name.

Hari Bol
