What does "New Vrndavana" mean? Vrnda is the Sanskrit name for the holy tulasi trees, and vana means forest. Today Vrndavana is a holy town in India, some ninety miles southeast of Delhi. Five thousand years ago when Lord Krsna, the Absolute Godhead, descended on earth He sported in Vrndavana as a cowherd boy. Now Vrndavana has thousands of temples dedicated to Lord Krsna, and thousands of pilgrims come there each year to pay homage to the speaker of the Bhagavad-gita. New Vrndavana will be modeled on this village, and, like its model, will have seven major temples.
