Vrndavana magnifies 100x the good service, as well as reactions for sins. Neophytes are advised by Srila Prabhupada, therefore, to only visit for three days. One may reside there, if they are fully self-controlled, and can live a life of full concentration and determination in service. One is in a bad status if they engage in illicit activity there, or become familiar and offensive to others..
Absorbtion in bhajana, giving up eating and sleeping, is no business of imperfect devotees. Srila Prabhupada recommends instead a total concentration on sankirtan and such preaching activities. He, Srila Prabhupada, says that this is the benchmark, the specialty of our sampradya.
