15 Jan 2026 – When Remembrance Turns Every Place into Vraja (Hindi)
While preaching in Pipa, RN, Northeast Brazil, Gurudev described the surroundings as if he was standing in Vraja.

It is because his vision is shaped by constant remembrance. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam explains this vision very clearly. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.2.45 सर्वभूतेषु यः पश्येद् भगवद्भावमात्मनः । भूतानि भगवत्यात्मन्येष भागवतोत्तमः ॥...
