Brindavanam

‘Brindavanam’ means a place of eternal bliss. It is supposed to be the advanced version of tabovanam. It is the natural abode where sages are believed to have relinquished their ‘physical body’ and attained ‘radiant body’ and ‘eternal ecstasy’. The Arvind Ashram at Pondicherry is an example for such a garden. Trees with showy, colourful flowers which express absolute joy found a place in Brindavans.
