Hare Krishna my Dear viewers :
BARSANA TO NANDGAON
Prem Sarovar : Prem Sarovar is located 1 km north of Barsana. Once, Krishna and Radharani were sitting together. A bee was moving around the face of Radharani. Krishna asked a Gopa friend to chase it away. When the friend drove the bee away and returned, he said, “Madhu is gone.” Madhu means bee and is the name of Krishna as well. Radharani felt Krishna went away and she began to cry. Seeing Radharani’s cry, Krishna also cried, and from the mixture of their tears, the Prem Sarovar was created.
Sanket : This village is located on the Parikrama Marg exactly midway between Barsana and Nadgaon, and here is the temple for Sanket Devi. When Krishna went to herd the cows and Radharani went to pick flowers, sometimes they met here and swung on a swing. Gopal Bhatt Goswami performed bhajan here.
Gopal Bhatt Goswami’s Bhajan Kuti : Gopal Bhatt Goswami’s bhajan kuti is in Sanket village. He performed bhajan here for a long time.
Uddhav Kyari : This place is on the south-east of Nandgaon. Uddhava met the Gopis here when Krishna sent him to deliver a message to them. Srimati Radharani exhibited here Her mahabhava, the utmost symptoms of love.
Nand Baithak : Nand Baithak is a part of Nandgaon in south of Nandgaon. Nand Baba met his friends here.
Yashoda Kunda : On the south of Nandgaon and on the west of Nand Baithak lies Yashoda Kunda. This is the kunda of Mother Yashoda and near to it is a goshala.
Krishna Balaram Mandir : This temple is on the top of Nandishwar hill. This is the main temple of Nandgaon, where the Deities of Krishna, Balaram, Nanda, Yashoda and Radharani are installed. The palace of Nanda Maharaja was here. Nandgaon : Nandgaon is located 8 km north of Barsana and approximately 10 km south of Koshi.
Nandishwar Mandir : This Shiva-linga installed by Vajranabha 5000 years ago is in the premises of Krishna-Balaram Mandir. Lord Shiva resides here and always engages in bahjan. Lord Shiva once came to see Krishna. Seeing his ugly appearance with ashes, bones, and snakes, Mother Yashoda refused to permit him in. Unsuccessful, Lord Shiva went to the nearby forest and meditated on Krishna. At home, Krishna started to cry aloud non-stop. The worried Yashoda thought it must be the result of refusing permission to the mystic yogi. She then sent many people to locate the yogi. When Shiva returned, Krishna immediately stopped crying and smiled. Thereafter, whenever Lord Shiva wanted to see Krishna, he arrived and played his drum, and Mother Yasoda took him in and showed Krishna.
Nrsimha Varaha Mandir : This temple is at the foothills of Nandgaon. Because of demoniac attacks on the inhabitants of Vrindavan, Nand Maharaja began to worship Lord Nrsimhadeva. The Deities here are installed by Nanda Maharaja.
Pavan Sarovar : On the north of Nandagaon is the Pavan Sarovar. One Gopa named Pavan, offered this sarovar to Nandbaba. Mother Yasoda bathed Krishna here and this is one of His favorite kund. Sanatana Goswami’s Bhajan Kuti : On the southern bank of the Pavan Sarovar is the bhajan kuti of Sanatana Goswami. Lord Krishna gave darshan to Sanatana Goswami and said that the Deities of Nanda Maharaja, Mother Yashoda, Krishna and Balaram are shielded in a cave. Sanantana Goswami took these Deities and installed in a temple atop the Nandishwar hill.
