If we churn water will we get butter? We think that we can be happy in this material world, that by churning water, we shall get butter. Someone says to us, "There is no ingredient in the water by which you will get butter. All your efforts are a waste of time." We answer, "No, you have lost your mind. I shall go on churning for thousands of births!" If you churn yogurt or milk, then you can make butter. This world is devoid of eternal existence, devoid of knowledge and devoid of happiness. If you devote all your energy to this world, you will be in want of eternal existence, in want of knowledge and in want of happiness. Krishna is the embodiment of All-Existence, All-Knowledge and All-Bliss. We should worship Sri Krishna. In the Gita, Krishna says:

anityam asukham lokamimam prapya bhajasva mam(Bhagavad-gita, 9.33)

"You have forgotten Me and thus you have come to this non-eternal world." So start worshipping Him.

Apparently, although it was His mother's behest in Advaita Bhavan for Himself to reside in the holy City of Puri, in actual fact it was all His own very plan. Puri City is the Supreme Lord's natural abode. The other familiar names for this City are Purusottama, Sri Ksetra, Nilacala, Lord Sri Krishna at one time, informed Sri Mahadeva about His hidden realm Puri whose glories are understood by only a very few (Chaitanya Bhagavata Antya 2nd).

Vṛndāvane Chalo! He Gopīnātha

The love of the Vrajavāsis for Śrī Kṛṣṇa is unparalleled and supreme. When they heard that Kṛṣṇa would be coming to Kurukṣetra from Dvārakā, their hearts surged with longing. Though uninvited, they could not restrain themselves—they were compelled by the fire of separation to catch even a glimpse of their beloved. This episode beautifully reveals the depth and intensity of their love, which knows no bounds, follows no protocol, and seeks no reward—only union with Kṛṣṇa.
