Kokilavan & Javat Darshan: Kokilavan, Javat and Khadirvan


28 October 2009. Today's parikrama brought us to the rasa mandal on the bank of Ratnakara Kund in Kokilavan. Then from there we proceeded to Javat to the house of Jatila where Radhika lived when she was married to Abhimanyu. Now it is a temple of Radha-kantaji where you can also take darshan of the murtis of Jatila, Kutila and Abhimanyu and up the roof here you can have a good view of Javat Village which is a witness to the parakiya moods of love between Radha and Krsna. Also today we went to Khadirvan which is the place where Bakasura was killed by Krsna and also where Radha and Krsna used to secretly meet at Sangam Kund and where Lokanath Goswami did Bhajan and gave diksha to Narottam das Thakur.


Darshan of Lila Places near Kokilavan: Charan Pahari to Baithan


From Javat (previous episode), our parikrama party went to Khir Sagar village where one can take darshan of Sheshashai, the murti to remind of the pastime that took place in here when Krsna took the form of Vishnu resting on Ananta Shesha and Radha took the form of Laksmi massaging His feet. Then just very near is Charan Pahari where many imprints on the rocks can still be visible all over the hill from Krsna's footprints to crown prints to deer or cow footprints, etc. It is said that these imprints were made after the hill rocks melted in ecstasy when Krsna played His flute here. Also a little walking distance away is Baithan which is another assembly meeting place of Nanda Maharaj and the Brijbasis and where our parikrama party takes prasadam every year.
