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:

VRAJ
The Place where one could have communion with The Divine
The Holy land, Hindus crave to go for a Pilgrimage
Where one experiences closeness to The Divine

Hindus settled in North America have endeavored to replicate that environs of VRAJ, so that they too could satiate their craven for Yatra – Pilgrimage in the Western World between their trips to Bharat – India.
