Goloka

Goloka, the eternal abode of Lord Krishna, is a realm of unparalleled beauty and bliss, transcending the material world's limitations. This divine world is described as a lush, vibrant planet filled with radiant light, fragrance, and music, where every moment is an eternity of joy and devotion.

Goloka is comprised of seven islands, each representing a different aspect of Krishna's divine energies, such as his love, wisdom, and creative power. The islands are adorned with magnificent palaces, gardens, and forests, all crafted from precious gems and metals like diamonds, rubies, and gold. The architecture is a blend of divine inspiration and natural wonder, with crystal clear rivers, waterfalls, and lakes that shimmer like liquid silver.

The atmosphere is filled with the sweet scent of blossoming flowers, and the air is resonant with the enchanting sounds of Krishna's flute, which captivates the hearts of all who dwell there. The skies are perpetually painted with hues of sapphire and gold, reflecting the divine aura of the Lord. The very ground is said to be made of a substance called "cintamani," which is like a combination of gold and crystal, and is said to have the power to fulfill all desires.

Goloka's inhabitants, including Krishna's devotees and companions, experience eternal joy, love, and devotion, unencumbered by the constraints of the material world. They engage in eternal spiritual pastimes, known as lilas, which are beyond human comprehension. These lilas are not bound by time or space and are an expression of the infinite and eternal nature of Krishna's love and joy.

In Goloka, time stands still, and the souls revel in the ecstasy of Krishna's presence, free from the cycles of birth and death, and the sorrows and sufferings of the material world. This mystical realm embodies the ultimate goal of spiritual aspiration, where love, devotion, and bliss converge in perfect harmony.

Goloka is not just a physical place but a state of consciousness, where the soul experiences union with Krishna, and realizes its true nature as an eternal, blissful, and loving being. It is the ultimate destination for those who seek spiritual liberation and the highest fulfillment of human existence.

In Goloka, Radha and Krishna along with all the Gopis do Rasleela.

The Rasleela takes place one night when the gopis of Vrindavana, upon hearing the sound of Krishna's flute, sneak away from their households and families to the forest to dance with Krishna throughout the night, which Krishna supernaturally stretches to the length of one kalpa, a Hindu unit of time lasting approximately 4.32 billion years. In the Krishna Bhakti traditions, the rasa-lila is considered to be one most beautiful depiction of soulful love. In these traditions, romantic love between human beings in the material world is seen as a reflection of the soul's original, ecstatic spiritual love of Krishna, in his spiritual world, Goloka.

The life in Goloka Vrindavan is blissful. It is above every material pleasure that you have enjoyed here on this planet, it more than what Vaikunth or any other Dham can offer. There is no envy or hatred amongst the souls, every one is happy in their own association with the Lord and is happy in each and every aspect of it.There is no darkness, no night time in Goloka Vrindavan, it is always illuminated by the different planets and most importantly, the presence of the Lord.
