When somebody enters Vrindavan he might think this is a normal Indian town. Or he feels how special this energy is here. You can feel and smell that the energy is so non-violent. It is pure. You do not get any meat here; you will not find any shop where you can buy alcohol, hunting and fishing is forbidden by law. It is a place of love and devotion. It is the only place on our planet earth that is so without violence. The concept of vegetarianism is originated in India, in Hinduism. This is why you will not sit in a restaurant in India which does not have vegetarian dishes. It will not happen. However in whole India Vrindavan is the only place in which there are no non-vegetarian dishes. Only twelve kilometers away in Mathura you can buy meat and alcohol and everything.
So when someone comes to Vrindavan he might think it is a normal Indian town. But whoever comes with devotion and love will feel devotion and love in the atmosphere. He will smell it. We attract what we have and this is also what we spread. It is such a nice concept. I will see, maybe tomorrow I will explain it further.

I am in Vrindavan right now. It is the only place in India I have been so far, and I just can’t imagine going anywhere else in India and feeling as safe or peaceful so effortlessly.We’ll see!
You certainly love Vrindavan Swami Ji. I love it too.
how lovely!
Vrindavan is nice. I went a few years ago, at first I thought it was really crowded but then I got used to it, it’s actually quite peaceful. What a really special place.
Before I arrived in Vrindavan, I didn’t know that this a vegetarian city. I heard about many cities where for example alcohol is forbidden and where you can’t buy it legally. But I never heard about any other vegetarian city. I think it’s great when all citizens of a city have a common denominator!
