From www.MaanMandir.org ... Braj revealed is Krishna revealed. We all know how timeless scriptures and preaching of saints have reinforced the truth that the Lord is non different from his Name (Naam), Attributes (gun), form (roop), past times (leela) and abode (dham). Whenever the Lord descends, all of them descend with him. When Krishna descended on Earth, Braj Bhoomi, along with all its constituents arrived with him. Krishna himself says that Braj is his own body. However, in all recorded history, the 3800 square kilometers of Braj with its 148 forests, 1200 stepwells, and pristine hills went missing until 500 years ago. The Bhakti cult transformed the desolate landscape of Braj into its true form -- an area of vibrant devotional activities. It was personalities like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Shri Vallabhacharya Ji, Soordas ji, Meera Bai, the Six Goswamis, Vyas ji and several more who rediscovered, glorified and rebuilt Braj. The last few centuries again saw decline of Braj until Shri Ramesh Baba Maharaaj appeared in Braj 60 years ago. With him arrived the true aspects of Braj which make it Braj ; its culture, natural assets and above all its divinity. His return saw the return of Hari Naam in the villages of Braj. The sweetness of Braj Culture returned to its villages and people. . Once again Brajwasis realized the spiritual importance of their Kunds(water step wells) and the need to preserve them. The depleting forests now were places of protection and rejuvenation. Braj is now coming back to its originality. A land of selfless love that made Krishna give up his Lordship and settle. It is mentioned in several scriptures that Dham (Braj) at times is superior to Dhaami (Krishna). To discover Braj is to discover Krishna. Braj revealed is Krishna revealed. Shri Ramesh Baba Maharaaj has been working unceasingly for decades putting together information about all the aspects of Braj. He has been the fountainhead of the Braj 84 Kos Yatra that travels around the whole of Braj for 40 days annually with 15000 people. This is its 25th year. All his experiences and infinite love for Braj has found expression in the Scripture -- Raseeli Braj Yatra. This book cannot be summarized in a few words. The stature and dignity of this book is beyond description. However, it certainly can be said that the scripture has the potency to reveal Braj to the one who reads it with shradha (faith) and vishwaas (firm trust). The book reveals deep insights and information about almost all the leelasthalis of Braj. There are references from all scriptures, sampradaays and true saints of Braj. The details are unparalleled and invaluable. It is an authentic encyclopedia and guide of True Braj. One can find anything and everything about Braj. Brajwasis always say about Shri Ramesh Baba Ji Maharaaj, "Braj means Ramesh Baba & Ramesh Baba means Braj. If Baba Shri is not there, no one can show us original Braj from Shastras/Scriptures". So Baba Shri revealed Braj in the form of a book 'Raseeli Braj Yatra' with the help of Gahvarvan Barsana born 'Braj Balika Muralika Ji'; A true Bhagwat Katha Vyas. It can easily be said that it is an authentic revelation of Braj. Let us also not forget: Braj revealed is Krishna revealed.
