Vraja Mandal Bhoomi extends for about eighty-four kosas on this planet Earth. In other words, Vraja Mandal Bhoomi, also known as Vraja Bhoomi or Mathura Mandal or Vrindavan Dham or simply Vrindavan, covers an area of 1453 square miles (2325 square Km) and stretches from Agra in the South to Banchari in the North. The Puranas state, “Vrajanti gavau yasminnati vrajau”, which means that the land where the cows, cowherd men, cowherd boys and cowherd girls wander is known as Vraja. Vraja particularly denotes the land where the Supreme Person Shri Krishna performs His pastimes. Vraja Bhoomi is made up of 12 beautiful forests and several other sub-forests with river Yamuna meandering through the entire land in its course. One of these forests is called Vrindavan. The Vrindavan town which contains many of the important temples and pastime places of Shri Krishna is also in this forest. This Vraja Mandal although appearing to be a part of this world is not destroyed at the time of universal destruction. In fact, this Vraja Bhoomi is a manifestation of Goloka Vrindavan, the eternal abode of Lord Shri Krishna in the spiritual sky, in this material world.
Only once in a day of Lord Brahma, i.e. once in 4.32 billion solar years, does the Supreme Personality of Godhead Shri Krishna appears on this planet in His original form of Shyamasundar and Vraja Bhoomi is the holy place where Lord Shri Krishna appears and performs His sweet pastimes. It is said that Vrindavan is Chintamani Dham, i.e. the abode of the Lord made of wish fulfilling touchstones. Brahmaji sings the glories of Vrindavan Dham in Brahma Samhita (5.56) as follows : “I worship that supreme abode of Vrindavan Dham, where the Supreme Lord Shri Krishna is the only lover; where the Vraja Gopis are the beloveds; where every tree and creeper is a transcendental desire-tree; where the earth is made of spiritual touchstones and the water is nectar; where speech is like melodious song and movements are like dance; where great divine oceans of milk continually flow from the udders of uncountable surabhi cows; and where transcendental time is eternal, without past and future, so that even half a moment never slips away. In this material world, only rare, saintly personalities can understand the nature of this abode.”
However it is not possible to perceive the actual Vrindavan Dham, as described in the scriptures, with our conditioned material vision. Vrindavan may externally appear to be just like an ordinary town or village and one may see sewage running in the street, hogs bathing in that sewage and walking around, but behind all of this the Lord is performing His unlimited pastimes. There is a thin veil of the curtain of Yogamaya which covers our vision from seeing Vrindavan.
