| Vraja-basi-jana |

and render loving service to Sri-Sri Radha and Krsna. |

the spiritual mellow of the residents of Vrndavana. |

The fact that there are at least as many "wealthy" criminals as there are "poor" criminals effectively destroys the materialists' theory that the root cause of crime is poverty and that the solution to the crime problem is to make everybody rich. Obviously, if poverty were the cause of crime, then no wealthy people would commit crimes. Besides, the term "poverty" is relative. A poor American, for example, would be a wealthy Ethiopian.

| Vrndavana |
the residence of Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, where He sports in eight kinds of pastimes with
His intimate devotees; the supreme planet in the Vaikuntha
spiritual sky (Goloka Vrndavana); the place on the Earth
planet 90 miles southeast of Delhi, India, where Krsna
performs His childhood pastimes when He appears here
(Gokula). |
| vyabhicari |
the thirty-three devotional sentiments manifest by the gopis
and Lord Krsna Himself while participating in their pastimes; these churn the ocean of rasa. |

Lord; this disruption is of two kinds: varna-vyavadhan and
tattva-vyavadhan (which see). |
| yavana |
a fierce, demoniac meat-eater who does not practice Vedic
rites. |
| yoga |
in general, a spiritual path or practice in which one seeks his
relationship and connection with the Lord—yoga means

is a spiritual path based upon mental speculation and impersonal meditation in which the goal is to merge into the
existence of the Lord, thus committing spiritual suicide. |
| yogamaya |
Sri Krsna's svarupa-sakti (which see) or internal spiritual
potency. |
| yogi |
a practitioner of yoga. |
| yukta-vairagya |
renunciation of attachment to material objects, at the same
time using every ming in the service of the Lord. |
| yutha-pravesa |
the transcendental sentiment of entrance into a group of
gopis in one's permanent spiritual identity in Goloka Vrndavana. |
| yuthesvari |
one of Lord Krsna's many female gopi group leaders; Srimati Radharani is everyone's favorite yuthesvari—serving
Krsna under Her direction is the ultimate spiritual experience. |
