The short answer
When to go to Vrindavan
November to February offers the most comfortable temperatures for walking between temples and ghats. April to June is very hot, and July to September brings humid monsoon conditions, both of which make the crowded temple lanes more tiring. Older travellers should visit temples before 8am to avoid both heat and the biggest crowds, wear socks for stone floors that can be hot or cold underfoot, and choose a hotel with a lift given how many temples themselves involve stairs.
