Hare Krsna. Please forgive the photo's lack of clarity. I pray it nevertheless pulls your mind to the Yamuna River and Sri Vrindaban dhama. Sri Prabhodananda Sarasvati glorifies Vrindaban with the following words.
85 Sri Vrndavana is more purifying than all transcendental knowledge. Sri Vrndavana is the most efficient means to attain all that is valuable. Sri Vrndavana is the supreme abode of transcendental pastimes. Who will not serve Sri Vrndavana, considering it millions of times more dear than his own life?
86 All glories to charming Vrndavana, which breaks the material desires of many births, which shows a great sweetness to Laksmi, Siva, Brahma, and the other demigods, which, as a mother, takes no account of the offenses of its dependants, and which is blissful with the touch of Radha's feet.
87 All glories to charming Vrndavana, which is supremely splendid and sublimely sweet, which is wonderful with a flood of bliss, which is filled with Lord Hari's mercy, love, and other virtues, which is the crest jewel of all wonders, and which is the place where Sri Radhika-Madhava enjoy a nectar festival of pastimes.
88 Cross the ocean of the illusory potency maya. Cross the ocean of spiritual light known as the Supreme Brahman Again and again drink from the splendid ocean of the Supreme Person's bliss, and then cross beyond it. Enter the splendid, pure, nectar ocean of pure love for Lord Krsna, and then enter the splendid island in the middle of that ocean. There devote your life to the service of charming Vrndavana.
