Feeling blessed that I had an opportunity to hv the blessings.
Full enjoyment swimming water is very salty
This lake is one of Krishna's favorite places and He enjoys many wonderful water
sports here known as 'jala-krida' as well as other pastimes with the sakhas and sakhis. It is
also said that after playing in the Kadamba-kanana or kadamba grove at Pavana-sarovara,
Krishna once massaged Balarama's lotus feet as He lay under the shade of a kadamba tree.
This place is 200mt north of Nanda Bhavan where the road to Kaman begins.
"This sarovara, or lake, lies north of Nandagaon when coming down from Nandisvara Hill, and is situated on the side of the highway that leads towards Kamyavana. The custom is to bathe in this lake before taking darsana of Nanda, Yasoda and the others on the crest of the hill. It is said that Pavana Gopa, the father of Visakha Sakhi, constructed this sarovara, thereby giving it its name. When Krsna and His friends would return from cow grazing, they would bring the cows here to drink. At that time, Krsna would call out "Niri-niri " and signal to the cows to enter the sarovara. He would then call out "Cun-cun" to induce the cows to drink water, and "Tiri-tiri " to call them back to the bank. The boys would satisfy the cows by having them drink water in this way before returning them to their resting place in the cowshed. The boys would then go back to their respective homes.
The Vrajavasis would also bathe in the fragrant and pure water of Pavana-sarovara. Krsna used to bathe here and frolic in the water with His friends. On the far bank, Srimati Radhika used to bathe and play in the water with Her sakhis. Sometimes Krsna would dive in from His bank like a crocodile, make His way unseen to the bank of the sakhis, and catch their feet. In this way, He played with them. Maharaja Vrsabhanu had a beautiful palace built for his daughter Srimati Radhika on the northern bank of Pavana-sarovara. She played many games with Her sakhis in this palace, from which She could very easily have darsana of Her beloved Sri Krsna."
Excerpt from the book 'Sri Vraja-mandal Parikrama' by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja
Nice place , clean water , it has a big spirtual significance , and near to main road .
Paavan Sarovar is a beautiful sarovar with its own divine surroundings and feeings
Nice and peaceful place but water here is not so pure as is the case with almost all lakes of india
We had attended lecture of his grace Shri Ram Narayan Prabhu Ji and tasted the nectar of Hari Katha. We got to know the mahima of Pavan Sarovar from him. We had Harinaam Sankirtan in Temple on the banks of Pavan Sarovar. It was very transcendental.
