Radhe! Radhe!

Hello frnds...

I alwz wanted to write something on blog...but nvr did as my writing skills are....ufff..

nvr mind....i'll write neways :)

today.i'll write abt my recent visit to vrindavan.

our aggarwal society... organise 2 trips in a year ..n this is one of them on 13th nov,09 to Vrindavan n Mathura.

we r almost 14 members of a family together. it was gud fun.

Reached Giriraj ji on 14th early morning...

Got fresh..had b'fast. we all were ready by 8.30am...n started Prikrama of Govardhan.

Mumma n my cousins started it with off shoewears bt...

i ws in my floaters.. only after a walk of 15 min..i realised , i should also nt wear sleepers, den i took them off.

it ws nice walking there... the feeling of walking on Lord Krishna's land is a great feeling in itself.

There r 2 prikramas, one of 7 kms ,n 1 of 5 kms..in total 21 kms.

the first, we started is of 12 km. papaji,masji, buaji..lost energy soon..n took auto..bt we all were walking..n walking .. :) ...saw b'ful secenes , peacocks, lots of monkeys.... n one of them even grabbed our polybag n ran away...

I saw actual well for the first tym...n got very excited. must tell u..it is nt vry easy to take out water from well.

we decided to finish prikrama on foot only...bt wen we were 2 kms away from our destination, papaji called us up n insisted .... den we had to hire a convenynce. :(

luckily we got a Tanga...

Again..fisrt tym in tanga. i got sooo very happy.. :)

actually we all.. :)

one thing i really liked is everybody says Radhe Radhe....even the rikshaw wala to side u from the way..he wont ring..he'll say Radhe Radhe. :)

Its abt 1'o clk we reached temple. did darshan of Shri Girirajji

n

got ready for another prikrama of 9 kms.This tym we were too tired n did it by Auto.

almost at 3 we reached tirthyatra trust's place..means our room n had yummy lunch dere.

5'o clk we left for Vrindavan. n i guess by 7 we were there.

In vrindavan, we stayed in "Vatslya gram"'s guest house.

We got our separate rooms, n they were none less than a hotel. we got fresh, had super fast n got ready for Shri Bankey Bihiariji mandir. hired autos from outside n reached there.

there were no prasad for bhagwanji, only garlands.. i find it really nice..

Must tell u... they are very cheap there, only 10 bucks for a good big garland..

we all bought garlands of roses n went inside, after wait of 30 mins, we got the darshan of Bihairiji. If u hav faith, it is a heavenly place.

There is a faith about this mandir, that "Lord is so kind n loving towards His devotees, dat if u see 5 min continuously into the eyes of Lord with faith , he'll be with you n will walk away with u".

Dats why pujaris there.. continuously pull curtain rt & left.

It was a amazing feeling there.

later ..We all get garlands of Bhagwanji in return :). we got very happy n wore them :)

while we were returning from mandir..we had yummy golgappe n vrindavan ki lassi.. :) unforgettable.

it was 9'o clk wen we reached vatslya gram again.

We all were deadly tired...bt........ :)

had great fun..played wid garlands, clkd lots of pics. Then had dinner... again did masti n slept for a another great day.

Nxt day morning, we went to Mathura by auto.. den walkes for almost 15 mins for Dwarkadhij ji's madir..had Splendid Darshans, coz' crowd was less.

Then, Janambhumi

Birth place of Sri Krishna.

Cameras n cell phones are not allowed inside, nt even the sim cards. there is cloak room to submit all that things.

We hired a panditji inside the mandir as guide..who make us visit all the mandirs there n told us all the facts abt diffrent places . We did darshan of Shri Krishna's birth place n went back to our place "vatslya gram".

Now,

I'll tell u about Vatsalya Gram, its a great place in itself,doing a very noble cause in a very organized n great manner.

There is Gokulam, where they give shelter and a good living style to helpless kids n women.

its a combination of orphange, womens asharam and oldage home.

there they give a family to all of them...the way is... there are falts for every 8-10 people's family.

family includes 5-6 kids of diffrent age, a mother, a masi n a naniji.

kids from the category of orphanage , maa n masi from womens ashram n dadiji is from oldage home category . This system provides relations to each of them. They all been provided with facitities of a upper middle class home n live like family there. Relations there are Maa, Masi n Nani. This is really a great system.

Nthg is for free for them except education. The eldest person in home got a certain amount every month n they'll hav to buy all household items. The moto of this to teach value of money to children.

Many Childre of there is even persuing for IAS.

This is really a great organisation.

There is also a school for the kids of labour working there at a nominal fee of rs.10 pm.,

Also a hospital for people living there. Several temples & lots of parks.

Nanhi Duniya is a attraction of that place. Fun Place for kids. we clicked lots of pics there.:)

n did whole lot of masti.

At evening 6'o clk we retured from the visit of Gokulam n nanhi duniya, had superfast n returned delhi at 12'o clk night.

On the way we played antakshri n did chitchat with kids :). cracked jokes.

In all a great trip, juz that i regret dat we didnt got tym to go Nidhivan n other mandir of vrindavan. I hope , i'll go again.

RADHE! RADHE!
