Million More Times Piety

vastuḥ koṭi-guṇaṁ śrutaṁ hi sukṛtaṁ
vāso’nna-vāsādibhiḥ
tīrthe vāsayituḥ svayaṁ hi tarati
dvau tau sa yat tārayet |
premānanda-rasātma-dhāmani pare
vṛndāvana-vāsakas tv
āścaryāṁ vṛṣabhānujā-priya-ratiṁ
prāpnoty anāyāsataḥ ||

Anyone who helps others reside in Vrindavan by supplying them with food, clothes and residence, accumulates a million more times piety than one who resides there, because one who resides there delivers only himself, whereas one who helps others reside there delivers himself as well as those that he helps. One who helps someone reside in the highest blissful abode of Vrindavan easily develops wonderful attachment for Krishna, the beloved Lord of the daughter of Vrishabhanu. (VMA 1.73)

Gokul Mathura Dwarka Vaikunta

Designed by BV Tridandi Swami / Illustrated by Jaya-Gopal dasa To the top left of the map is the  catur sloki  Bhagavatam verse “ aham evasam evagre… ” proclaiming that before anything else existed there was only Sri Krsna. Therefore in the center of the map, at the top, is Sri Krsna. On the right of this is the  catur sloki  Gita verse stating Krsna to be the source of all the spiritual and material worlds “ aham sarvasya prabhavo… ”. Thus all creation has only Sri Krsna as its source. Krsna manifests His  svarupa-sakti , His pleasure potency, in the form of Srimati Radharani. Radha and Krsna are one, just as musk and its scent or fire and its heat are one, “ radha purna sakti krsna purna saktiman… ”. Within the whorl of the lotus of  svarupa-sakti  to the left, is Sriman Mahaprabhu in Svetadvipa (behind Radha and Krsna).
