26 October 2009 (Gopastami). Today our parikrama was scheduled to visit Nandagaon. On the way to Nandagaon, we first took darshan of Prem Sarovar where Srimati Radhika became absorbed in deepest mood of prema. Even Krsna Himself worships this sarovar because Srimati Radhika placed her feet on its waters. Srila Guru Maharaja in his Vraja mandal Parikrama book said that there is no doubt that by taking bath in this sarovar, one attains prema for the Divine Couple. Then from Prem Sarovar we proceeded to Sangket which is actually situated between Nandagaon and Varsana. So this is a place of meeting, in fact the first meetings between Radha and Krsna happened here. Here one can take darshan of Sangket devi or Vira devi who along with Vrnda devi are responsible for the sweet meetings of the Divine Couple Sri Sri Radha Krsna. Also here is the bhajan place of Gopal Bhatta Goswami just in front of the rasa mandal. From Sangket, we proceeded to Nandagaon (next episodes).
From Sangket (previous episode), our parikrama proceeded to Nandagaon. In this episode one can take darshan of Nanda Bhaitak, Yasoda Kund, Hau Bilau, Uddhav Kyari (which is also known as Visakha Kunja), Visakha Kund and Lalita Kund. From here we proceeded to Nandishwar Hill where Nanda Maharaj's compound is located (next episode).
From Uddhav Kyari and Lalita Kund (previous episode), our parikrama party went up the hill of Nandishwar Parvat to Nanda Bhavan. There one can take darshan of Krsna and Balaram with Nanda Baba and Yasoda Maiya. Also Nandishwar Mahadev is there protecting the area. Then from Nanda Bhavan we went down to take a quick darshan of Sanatan Goswami's bhajan kutir and Pavan Sarovar, then in a little distance to Rupa Goswami's bhajan kutir in Ter Kadamba. Then from there we proceeded to Ashisheshwar Mahadev where everyone took lunch prasadam.
