Ek Bar Ayodhya Jao - Dandi Swami Shri Hare Krishnanand Sarasvati ‘Hare Krishn’, Vrindavan Shatak (28)

(Kavitt)
Ek Baar Ayodhya Jao, Do Baar Dwarika,
Teen Baar Jaake Triveni Mein Nahaoge. [1]
Chaar Baar Chitrakoot, Sau Baar Naasik,
Baar-baar Jaakar Badrinaath Ghoom Aaoge. [2]
Koti Baar Kashi, Kedaranath Rameshvar,
Gaya-Jagannath, Chaahe Jahaan Jaoge. [3]
Honge Pratyaksh Jahaan Darshan Shyam Shyama Ke,
Vrindavan Sa Anand Kahin Nahin Paoge [4]

- Dandi Swami Shri Hare Krishnanand Sarasvati ‘Hare Krishn’, Vrindavan Shatak (28)

Whether one visits Ayodhyā once, goes to Dwārikā twice, or bathes three times in the Triveṇī. [1]

Whether one goes to Chitrakūṭ four times, to Nāśik a hundred times, or repeatedly undertakes the journey to Badrināth. [2]

Whether one performs countless pilgrimages to sacred places like Kāśī, Rāmēśvaram, Gayā, or Jagannāth. [3]

Yet, apart from Śrī Vṛndāvan Dhām, there is no other place where the divine couple, Śrī Rādhā Kṛṣṇa, can be directly seen, and their divine, sweet yugala rasa can be readily experienced.” [4]
