Gokula’s Wonder, Kṛṣṇa’s Bhakta-vaśyatā, the Move to Vṛndāvana, and the Slaying of Vatsāsura and Bakāsura
वृन्दावनं सम्प्रविश्य सर्वकालसुखावहम् । तत्र चक्रुर्व्रजावासं शकटैरर्धचन्द्रवत् ॥ ३५ ॥
vṛndāvanaṁ sampraviśya sarva-kāla-sukhāvaham tatra cakrur vrajāvāsaṁ śakaṭair ardha-candravat
Thus they entered Vṛndāvana, a place that grants happiness in every season. There they made a temporary settlement for the people of Vraja by arranging their bullock carts in the shape of a half-moon.
As stated in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa:
This verse describes Vṛndāvana as “sarva-kāla-sukhāvaha”—a dhāma that bestows happiness at all times—highlighting its spiritually auspicious nature for Kṛṣṇa’s līlā and for devotees.
In the narrative, the Vraja-vāsīs set up their camp by placing wagons in a protective half-moon formation, creating an organized settlement as they entered and stayed in Vṛndāvana.
Create “Vṛndāvana-like” spaces and routines by organizing life around devotion—regular sādhana, good association, and a protected environment—so that inner joy becomes steady rather than occasional.
