Following in the footsteps does not mean imitating, if we pretend to be gopas or gopis, it will never go beyond our mental imagination. But the spirit of selfless service, the spirit of truly humbly, tasting the sweetness of Krishna's name, the spirit of living without ego or selfishness and the spirit of tasting the sweetness of Krishna's pastimes, naturally, as our true genuine love awakens, then by the mercy of Guru and vaihnava, by Srila Prabhupada's divine grace, then we will be connected to the residents of Vrindavan. Because Srila Prabhupada and our achryas are eternal residents of Vrindavan, we are all just trying to connect through following their instructions, through receiving their grace and through pleasing them. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Krishna in the spirit of the love of Shri Radha, feeling that love and distributing that love and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu made the most profound difficult thing so simple. We can enter into the realm of Vrindavan by developing this true mood of servant of the servant, by hearing these wonderful past times and by cultivating a genuine taste for chanting the holy name.
