And it's incredible that, like, you know, a little over 500 years ago, there are all of these

ecstatic bactas roaming brindavin, which was just like a beautiful force.

You had Hittari Vanka, you had Harri Daswami, you had Shriti Tzuammy, you had Shritia Tanya.

There are all these incredibly great souls.

And the interesting thing is they weren't from there.

They all came there.

Almost as if there was like a secret messenger pigeon flying around, like leave whatever you're doing and go to this jungle.

It's not like go to New York City or go to Dubai.

Go to the forest.

Leave everything behind and go to the forest and live there.

And yeah, all these really ecstatic, exalted academic, because they were writers, right?

They were all, they wrote so much literature.

Not all of them. You see, and this is some of the things that got clarified in my mind. Okay. And Hittari Vanka was actually Birjbasi. Oh, he was a bridgebasi. Okay. He was from here. Which is interesting. You know, like, in other words, you know, you had Sri Chaitanya and you have the Sixth Goswamis. They're all there. Sixtho

Swamis, Valbucharia, Valbucharia's son, Viltonath, you know, like, they're all these

incredibly deep Bhakti yos who are not just into Bhakti, like Ramanujacharya, Madhvachar

before. They're into Brindav and Bhakti, Braja Bhakti.

They're into that love in the very intimate sense, the love of the Gopis, the love of the residence of Rundav and the love of the Christian's parents, the love of Christians.

But why? Why did it all happen at that moment? Why was there a Bhakti renaissance at that moment, you know?

Well, it's all Christian's will, certainly, you know, but it took, it took the Bhakti

movement into a much deeper place. But here's what some of what became important to me.

We went to the Rada Vala Vala Temple. Yeah. Which is like the mainstay, the, you know, the headquarters, you could say, of the Vala

Samhā, not the Vala Samhāya, but the Vala B's, you would say, but the lineage of Hidharibanga.
