STICKING TO THE

DUST OF VRINDAVAN

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta

Swami Prabhupada

What is the meaning of living in Vrindavan?

bhakta-sane vasa — To be in the society

of devotees. One should come

here for developing a devotional

attitude, and not for making business

or money. If anyone comes

for that reason, he makes offense.

It is called dhama-aparadha, offense

to the holy dhama. There are

many kinds of aparadhas, offenses: dhamaaparadhas,

nama-aparadhas and seva-aparadhas.

That is described in the Bhakti-rasam_ta-sindhu.

Here in Vrindavan dhama, no one should do

business. No one should try to satisfy his senses

in Vrindavan dhama. Then his living in

Vrindavan will actually be profitable. Of course,

anyone living in Vrindavan dhama is fortunate

because the dhama has its own power. But

anukulyena k__ anu-œilanam [Cc. madhya 19.167]

— if we live in the dhama in an anukula way, a

favorable way, then our achievement of ultimate

success is very easy. If we commit offenses then

it will be delayed. But still, anyone who is some

way or other living in Vrindavan, sticking to

the dust of Vrindavan, is certainly benefited. _
