We are currently in Vrindavan, India, doing the twelve day Parikrama of the forests of Vrindavan. We have visited many Holy sites, and have had Darshana with so beautiful deities, and gotten water sprinkled on us, from many sacred Kunds (ponds, bathing sites). It has been a wonderful trip thus far, although the traffic, and dust, has been rather exhausting. Hare Krishna! -V
