Kamyavan Parikrama (exterior)

 

Bhojan Sthali

 

This morning, at 10.30 the party came at the Bhojan Sthali, the place were

Krsna used take lunch with the cowherd boys. Bhojan means prasada, the

devotees also took breakfast in this spot.

 

Krsna attract every body, He stops the cycle of birth and death and He is

the reservoir of all bliss. When we go to the places where Krsna performed

His pastimes, we develop some attachment to Krsna. A devotee desire is to

increase his attachment to krsna. When our attachment to this material world

become zero, we are eligible to go back to Godhead.

 

Enjoying all this walking, swimming in Vraja, devotees will forget their

propre country. Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu visited all these

places. By visiting these places we become convinced that all this had

happened 5000 years ago. There is so much dirt in our heart. By walking

through Vraja, by hearing these pastimes our heart become pure.

 

We can visualize how Krsna is going with the cows, wearing yellow garments,

with nice turban in his head and stick in His hand. On the stick He will

pack some food and go with His friends Subal, Madhumangal.

 

Krsna Likes yogurt, rice and chili, at morning Krsna likes sweet. Krsna will

look for a suitable place and took food. Caitanya Mahaprabhu would also took

his party and feed them. This is the beauty of Krsna consciousness, in order

to realize God people have to do tapasya, but in krsna consciousness

everything is sweet. Srila Prabhupada used to look at the faces of the

devotees, if they look pale he would say: " If you chant, take prasada you

should look happy." Simply by taking prasada many people became devotees.
