1. Sacred Conduct in a Sacred Space:
In the land where every step tells a story of devotion, let our actions reflect our reverence. Keep the environs of Vrindavan dham as pristine as the heart of a true devotee. Choose organic colors, a gentle embrace over a harsh touch. These natural hues bless our skin and the earth alike.
2. Respect Embodies True Celebration:

Embrace seva by maintaining the premises clean, thus preserving the divine beauty of Vrindavan ji. Extend your hand, be it to a fellow devotee or the animals who share this sacred space. Service is the highest form of worship.
4. Devotion in Celebration
The sevaks performing rituals are the bearers of Thakurji’s leelas. Approach them with patience and reverence, seeing the divine play in their actions. Be the mirror that reflects the sanctity of Holi in Vrindavan dham, inspiring others to follow the path of mindful celebration.
5. Live in Harmony with Nature:
Treat all creatures with kindness and consideration, from the monkeys to the sacred cows, recognizing them as integral parts of Vrindavan dham. Minimize your environmental footprint. Use reusable containers and avoid plastic, safeguarding the purity of this holy land.
