Mathura – Part 1
Please note, this is one of my old videos. For complete information watch the video at the bottom of the page.
In the beginning of this Varaha-kalpa, Lord Hari assumed the form of a boar. With His tusk lifting the earth from th
e realm of Rasatala, He shone with great splendor.
Glorious on the tip of His tusk, the earth spoke to the Supreme Person, the goddess of fortune’s husband and the deliverer from sufferings, as He traveled through the waters.
The earth-goddess said: “Where will You put me down? Please tell me, O Lord. I see the entire universe is flooded with water”.
Shri Varaha said: “When you see trees standing up from the water I will put you down. Look for trees”.
The earth-goddess said: “All immovable things rest on me. What other thing is their steady resting-place? It is I on which all things rest”. As she spoke in this way she saw some beautiful trees just ahead. Her pride now gone, the earth-goddess glanced at Lord Hari and spoke.
The earth-goddess said: “Lord, in what place do these trees with twigs and leaves grow? They fill my heart with wonder. O Lord of yajnas, O master, please tell me”.
Shri Varaha said: “O beautiful one, you see transcendental Mathura-mandala, which is part of the realm of Goloka, and is not destroyed at the time of cosmic devastation”.
Hearing this the earth-goddess became both astonished and pride less. For this reason Vraja is the best of all places.
