Akrūra then thought, “When Krṣṇa and Balarāma are pleased with my prayers, certainly They will take my hand, receive me within Their homes and offer me all kinds of respectable hospitalities, and They will surely ask me of the activities of Kamṣa and his friends.”
In this way, Akrūra, who was the son of Śvaphalka, meditated on Śrī Krṣṇa on his journey from Mathurā. He reached Vṛndāvana by the end of the day. Akrūra passed the whole journey without knowing how long it took. When he reached Vṛndāvana, the sun was setting. As soon as he entered the boundary of Vṛndāvana, he saw the footprints of the cows and Lord Krṣṇa’s footprints, impressed with the signs of His sole, the flag, trident, thunderbolt and lotus flower. Upon seeing the footprints of Krṣṇa, Akrūra immediately jumped down from the chariot, out of respect. He became overwhelmed with all the symptoms of ecstasy; he wept, and his body trembled. Out of extreme jubilation upon seeing the dust touched by the lotus feet of Krṣṇa, Akrūra fell flat on his face and began to roll on the ground.
Akrūra’s journey to Vṛndāvana is exemplary. One who intends to visit Vṛndāvana should follow the ideal footsteps of Akrūra and always think of the pastimes and activities of the Lord.

The process of going to Vṛndāvana is shown by Akrūra.
When Akrūra entered Vṛndāvana, he saw Krṣṇa and Balarāma engaged in supervising the milking of the cows. Krṣṇa was dressed in yellow garments and Balarāma in bluish. Akrūra also saw that Krṣṇa’s eyes were exactly like the beautifully grown lotus flower of the autumn season. He saw both Krṣṇa and Balarāma in the spring of Their youth. Although both were similar in bodily features, Krṣṇa was blackish in complexion, whereas Balarāma was whitish. Both were the shelter of the goddess of fortune. They had well-constructed bodies, beautiful hands and pleasing faces, and They were as strong as elephants. Now, after seeing Their footprints, Akrūra actually saw Krṣṇa and Balarāma, face to face. Although They were the most influential personalities, They were glancing at him with smiling faces. Akrūra could understand that both Krṣṇa and Balarāma had returned from tending cows in the forest; They had taken Their baths and
