Vrindavana is within the jurisdiction of Mathura and still continues to exist.
Because Mathura and Vrindavana are intimately connected with Krishna eternally, it is said that Lord Krishna never leaves Vrindavana (vrindavanam parityajya padam ekam na gacchati).

Vrindavana is the transcendental abode of the Lord, where there is no hunger, anger or thirst.

It is understood that Mathura City is the transcendental abode of Lord Krishna; it is not an ordinary material city, for it is eternally connected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
This is undoubtedly a good vow, but if one leaves Vrindavana, Mathura or Navadvipa-dhama for the service of the Lord, he is not disconnected from the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
Therefore although Mathura and Vrindavana are situated on this planet earth, they are transcendental abodes of the Lord.

 VNN World - Heart Of Vrindavana
Vrindavana is the beloved home of Sri Krishna, who plays and lives surrounded by doting parents and loving cowherd maidens and His playful cowherd friends.
Krsna is God Himself, though those who live in Vrindavana don't know this because they love Him as their very own lives as their master, child, friend and lover.
Although, in the poems found in this first book, Krsna is portrayed in many roles; He is most centrally portrayed as the lover of Radha, who is His eternal consort and potency, In itself, this illustrates the pureness and fullness of love that a devotee tries to feel in his own life towards God.

 [ ScienzeAntiche Forum ] - Vrindavana su national geographic
Dopo aver sentito parlare di Vrindavana per anni dal suo amico Chris Murray della Govinda Gallery, Alex ha deciso di avventurarvisi per sperimentare di persona ciò che significa "paradiso" per i devoti di Krishna.
Trasportati da un rikshaw per le vie affollate di Vrindavana, con Ranchor Prime e altri devoti alla guida del gruppo, hanno trascorso cinque giorni lungo i sentieri di pellegrinaggio, hanno assistito ai darshan e agli arotik nei templi e si sono recati alla Yamuna, alla collina Govardhana e a Varshana.
Sono stati colpiti dalla magia di Vrindavana, dalla devozione che ne sprigiona, e hanno ammesso di non aver mai sperimentato niente di simile nei loro viaggi.

Srila Prabhupada le aveva chiesto di cucinare per lui a Vrindavana, e lei aveva fatto delle preparazioni così elaborate che egli l'aveva chiamata nella sua stanza e le aveva detto che era tutto così buono e gustoso, ma che sarebbe stato impossibile per lui mangiare tutte quelle cose.

 Carney in India
This past August I returned for an all-too short research trip to complete acquisition of materials for a critical study of a Hindu guru who came to the United States in 1902.
I did that, but these eight days provided me an opportunity to see Vrindavana again and in many ways for the first time.
The word darshan (title of a book by Harvard's Diana Eck) means both "seeing" and "being seen." Most often, it refers to gazing at the Hindu deity in a temple, but it also points to seeing holy people, sacred rivers, pilgrims' steps -- the rich panorama of Indian life.

Those who work with Food for Life of Vrindavana note that, in the villages, married women are likely to receive no education or medical care in regards to pregnancy and birth, so that the health of mothers and their children is often horribly affected.
Generally, this “development” of the Vrindavana area is done without regard to the effects on the ecology, cows and bulls, or local inhabitants.
But, anyone who spends a few hours in the Vrindavana area, what to speak of weeks or months, knows that probably 100% of the residents and visitors are already chanting the names of Radha and Krishna, in some form or for some reason, every single day.
