About Vraj
Over Five Thousand years ago, THE ULTIMATE
DIVINE known as Param Brahm Parmatma, took a human form as KRISHNA. He grazed &
nurtured cows with Gops & Gopis and played in and around Gokul & Brindaban. It is
said that Gops & Gopis were Sages in the previous birth and in-spite of worshipping
for umpteen years; they could not comprehend the Path to The Divine. The close proximity
of KRISHNA and their dedication result ed in the communion with THEE. Since then,
the land around Gokul & Brindaban came to be known as:
