Barsana 2016.06.01 (VT): The popular renounced saint Ramesh Baba is currently conducting Bhagwat Katha in Gahvarvan. Gahvarvan in Barsana is also known as Radharani ‘s nitya leela sthali and there are many tales of the divine couple Radha and Krishna’s pastimes there, especially related to Radharani’s maan.
Ramesh Baba’s lectures are simply loved by the people for he talks of nothing but the pure love of Radha Krishna and that to merge into them all we need to do is give up our material consciousness. Maya has no effect on the soul who is always meditating upon the Divine Couple.
Ramesh Baba’s lectures are dipped in bhakti ras, but he is also deeply passionate about serving and saving the land of Braj. During his katha he said that rapid development is destroying the essence of the Dham. He showed deep concern for the leela places like the hills, forest and kunds (water bodies), which are really in a very bad shape and has been trying to save for many years. In the current day, even the residents of Braj are forgetting the relevance of the Dham and are becoming party to its destruction.
He said, “After fighting a battle for eight long years we have been able to restore some of the ancient places, forests and kunds. There is a lot more to do and we all need to join hands to preserve the transcendental land of Braj.
“For the last few years we have been trying to bring the Yamuna waters back to Braj where it belongs. Sadly the Brajwasis have not done enough to move the central government for the maintenance and upkeep of this invaluable land.”
