Vrindavan was where Krishna was born, lived his precocious childhood, and grew into the attractive and intoxicating youth who would lure young maidens into the forest to participate in his divine play and circle dance. Gokul was full of demons sent by Kamsa to kill Krishna. That's why the whole village shifted overnight to Brindavan, the forest of basil (Tulasi) leaves. But Lord Krishna turned even nature to culture.
