"sravanam kirtanam dhyanam." Dhyanam means to engage your mind in meditation for thinking about and remembering the glories of the name, form, attributes and pastimes of Sri Krishna. So now you have engaged your ears (sravanam), you have engaged your tongue (kirtanam) and you have engaged your mind (dhyanam). All the sense organs should be engaged in the service of Sri Krishna. He is the only master of all the senses. So He is called Hrshikesha. Hrishik means sense organs and isa means the enjoyer of those sense organs. If there should be any sense organ not engaged in His service, then the world might enter through that loophole. You should prevent worldly views from entering into the heart to spoil one's consciousness of Sri Krishna.

He after that time, in the holy City of Puri in His role as a renunciate, began exhibiting the pangs of intense separation characteristic of high devotional moods. 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.
