Our seva · online encyclopedia
Vrajapedia
A living encyclopedia of the holy land of Vraja — its places, pastimes, Deities and nature.
RUENहिं — in three languages
“This beautiful Vrindavan is My abode alone. All who live here — animals, birds, trees, humans and demigods — attain it after death.”
Brihad-gautamiya Tantra
We love Vraja and try to serve this holy land and its people. Vrajapedia is another of our humble attempts to glorify the land of Sri Sri Radha-Govinda’s pastimes.
Sections
All about the holy
land of Vraja
Vrajapedia grows little by little — with every parikrama and every verse we read.
Places
The holy places of Vraja-mandala: the kundas, groves, hills and villages where the pastimes took place.
Deities
The Deities of Vraja — Their history, temples and worship.
Personalities
The Lord’s associates, and the saints and acharyas who glorified Vraja.
Plants
Trees, shrubs and flowers from the pastimes — with photos, descriptions and verses from the shastras.
How we work
Every page
is researched
- Verses from the original sources. We check every quotation against the shastras.
- References link to Vedarama. You can open the source and read the verse in context.
- Our own photos from parikrama. We photograph the places and plants ourselves.
- QR codes in the Kunj. They hang on the trees and lead to each plant’s page. About the Kunj
