Charming Places


If you ever read "Shree Saubhagya-Lakshmi-Tantram" (I have a copy in Hindi) you should know that in one of the Chapters the favourite dwelling places of Shreemati Lakshmi-Devi are listed (and, by the way, afterwards - the favourite habitations of Alakshmi enumerated too). 

As for Krishna, most of all He loves to
live in Kadamba groves with Gopika Lasses (it is mentioned in all Krishna-Agamas and Puranas) and "Shree Narada-PanchaRatra" confirms that:

5.3.12: "Though Shree Krishna is pervading everywhere, He resides specially in the charming places adjoining the banks of big heels and lakes and reservoirs of water frequented by kalahamsa swans, cakravakas and various other birds.

5.3.13: Wherever black bees are humming sweetly and gathering sweet honey from fragrant flowers and tend to exite love and amorous feelings, where gentle pleasant breeze is constantly blowing, there His invocation seen becomes fructified with pleasure and happiness. 

5.3.14: Where the rows of lights are shining beautifully, where hundreds of youthful women with nice black eyes like deer, all nice and beautiful, having their bodies nicely scented with various fragnance, with nice garlands made of full blown flowers, play, under broad canopies, full of love feelings, there He soon becomes manifest. 

5.3.15: He is not so mush pleased with the praises offered by Devas as He becomes pleased with the sweet and soft words uttered by the Ladies full of youth and beauty.  

5.3.16: Rather He likes to quit His jewelled place in Vaikuntha region under the Kalpavriksha, than He takes Incarnations in (human) Rupas gentle and soft, to fulfil the desires of his Bhaktas".
