So, in Vrindavan people are humble. They're crying out “Jai Sri Radhe! Radhe! Radhe!” or “Hare Krishna.” They are crying out “Oh mother Radha! Please be merciful to me.” One great resident of Vrindavan, from about 400 years ago is Narottam Das Thakur and he prayed ‘ha ha prabhu nanda-suta, vrsabhanu-suta-juta, koruna karoho ei-baro’ that he is praying that “I am very forgetful, I am very unqualified, I am very fallen. Please Sri Radharani, please be merciful upon me.” So, they are invoking the compassion, the merciful side of God. And in doing so, there's a great celebration.
