Bhaktivedanta Purport

By Śrīla Prabhupāda
Muni-vāsa-nivāse kiṁ ghaṭetāriṣṭa-darśanam: there is no possibility of actual disturbances or inauspicious events in holy places inhabited by saintly persons. Thus the so-called disturbances in Dvārakā were directly enacted by the Personality of Godhead for His own auspicious purpose.
