“Dear Lord, You are going to Vá¹›ndÄvana with hundreds and thousands of people following You, and this is not a fitting way to go on a pilgrimage.â€
Sometimes, for business purposes, large crowds of men are taken to different places of pilgrimage, and money is collected from them. That is a very lucrative business, but RÅ«pa and SanÄtana GosvÄmÄ«s, expressing their opinion in the presence of Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu, disapproved of such crowded pilgrimages. Actually when Lord Caitanya visited Vá¹›ndÄvana, He visited it alone and accepted a servant only at His devotees’ request. He never visited Vá¹›ndÄvana with crowds of people for a commercial purpose.
