MAKING EARTH AS VAIKUNTA AS SAID BY SCRIPTURES!
We don’t know when we will go back to Vaikunta planets, particularly, Goloka. For our satisfaction, let us now see how to bring Vaikunta to earth (or) make this earth itself as Vaikunta as said by the scriptures.
(1) Srila Prabhupada’s tips in NECTAR OF DEVOTION:
“Lord Sri Krsna instructed Uddhava that by following the injunctions of the social and spiritual orders of human society, one can satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and as a result of such satisfaction the whole society gets all the necessities of life amply and without difficulty. This is because, after all, the Supreme Personality of Godhead maintains all other living entities. If the whole society performs its respective duties and remains in Krsna consciousness, there is no doubt that all of its members will live very peacefully and happily.

Without wanting the necessities of life, the whole world will be turned into Vaikuntha, a spiritual abode. Even without being transferred to the kingdom of God, by following the injunctions of Srimad-Bhagavatam and prosecuting the duties of Krsna consciousness all human society will be happy in all respects.”
My Note: Acharya says that we can make this earth itself as Vaikunta by following the devotional and social recommendations.
(2) Sri Krsna Himself said to Uddhava, in Srimad-Bhagavatam (11-27-49):
“My dear Uddhava, all persons are engaged in activities, whether those indicated in the revealed scriptures or ordinary worldly activities. If by the result of either of such activities they worship Me in Krsna consciousness, then automatically they become very happy within this world, as well as in the next. Of this there is no doubt.”
So, as said by Krsna, the activities in Krsna consciousness will give everyone all perfection in all desires.

Everyone can remain engaged in whatever occupation he now has and in the worship of Lord Krsna by the result of his activities in Krsna consciousness. That will adjust the whole situation, and everyone will be happy and peaceful within this world making this earth itself as vaikunta.

(4) NARADA-PANCARATNA:
In the Narada-Pancaratra, the regulative principles of devotional service are described as follows: “Any activities sanctioned in the revealed scriptures and aiming at the satisfaction of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are accepted by saintly teachers as the regulative principles of devotional service. If one regularly executes such service unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead under the direction of a bonafide spiritual master, then gradually he rises to the platform of serving in pure love of God (who is considered to have attained Vaikunta).”
(5)
In general, wherever the Lord’s Holy names are chanted with a life of purity, that place becomes Vaikunta.
So, Let Krishna decides our time of taking us to His abode. He Himself says that we can make this planet itself as a vaikunta as explained above.
Sri Ksetra, Vaikuntha on Earth
Do you know that there is a place called ‘Vaikunta’ on earth? It is Puri Jagannath Temple in Odissa.
The Srirangam Sri Renganathar temple that is the first of the 108 Divya desam is also called Booloka vaikunta. Other Divyadesams are also equally important.
The Vraj Mandal is also the replica of the actual Vraj in the kingdom of Goloka.
