I try to visit Vrindavana in an off-peak time, with no ‘business,’ no meetings, no responsibilities and no particular project in mind. I mainly come to read. The time, the headspace, and the devotional atmosphere helps to cultivate transcendental thoughts. No excuses and no place better. It sounds wonderful, and it is, but admittedly it’s not always easy. I’ve ejected myself out of the urban mayhem, just after the busiest time of year, constantly interacting with people, and with a never-ending list of tasks… and overnight I suddenly land in a quiet holy village, distanced from HQ, with minimal technology, all the time in the world, and not a distraction in sight. It can be existentially unnerving. Talk about going from one extreme to another!
