Govardhan Darshan: Killol Kund to Gwala Pokhara


23 October 2009. Today our parikrama resumed after the 2-day festival break to observe the disappearance days of Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja, Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Goswami Maharaj and Srila Trivikrama Goswami Maharaj. In this episode, our parikrama party visited Killol Kund which is one of the lovely pastime places of Sri Sri Radha Krsna in Govardhan. Pastimes like various watersports, hide and seek and picnic lilas, etc are eternally taking place here. Then we proceeded just nearby to Gvala Pokhara which is a favorite resting place of Krsna and His cowherd friends during cowherding.


Govardhan Darshan: Ratna vedi and Syam Kuti to Narada Kund


After Gwala Pokhara (previous episode) our parikrama party proceeded to Ratna Vedi and Syam Kuti which are quite nearby. Here Giriraj Govardhan provides jewelled throne (ratna singhasan) for Sri Radha and Krsna. Syam kuti is the kunja where Krsna beautifully disguised Himself as Syam Sakhi. Also here you can take darshan of Charan-china, a stone that has melted and preserved an imprint of Krsna's footprint and eating bowl. From here, we proceeded to Narada Kund where Sri Narad Muni performed bhajan and austerities for many yugas to become a gopi servant of Sri Radhika.
