Shri Prem Sarovar Kund - Religious destination in Gajipur - Mathura, India

"This charming place, which attracts the hearts of the devotees, is where Srimati Radhika and Sri Krsna enjoy loving pastimes together. It is also where prema-vaicittya manifested in Srimati Radhika. Once, Radha and Krsna, surrounded by Lalita and the other sakhis, were immersed in various kinds of loving pastimes when a bumblebee hovered around the beautiful lotus face of Srimati Radhika. Thinking Her face to be a lotus flower, the bee wanted to sit there and drink its nectar; and so it continued to hover around Her face. Srimatiji became afraid and covered Her face with Her palms. She also tried to chase the bee away, but to no avail. Madhumangala saw Srimati Radhika's distress and chased the bumblebee far away with his stick. Upon his return, he announced, "I have chased madhusudana far away from here. He has gone and will not return." When Srimati Radhika heard Madhumangala's words, She at once thought that Madhusudana Krsna had gone away and had left Her, although She was sitting directly in Krsna's lap. She began to lament, deeply afflicted by separation from Him. She could not, at that instant, understand that madhusudana also means "bumblebee". She wept and repeatedly cried out, "Oh, Prananatha, where have You gone? Oh, Lord of My life, where have You gone?" Upon seeing these amazing transcendental sentiments known as prema-vaicittya, in His beloved Radhika, Krsna also forgot that She was sitting on His lap. He too wept and cried, "O My beloved!" and They both fainted. The tears that flowed from Their eyes and the perspiration that poured from Their bodies created this pond. When the sakhis saw Their condition, they too became senseless. Srimati 's female parrot began to loudly chant Sri Radha 's name, and the male parrot began to loudly chant Sri Krsna's name. As They heard each other's name, Radha and Krsna regained external consciousness and gazed upon each other with great yearning. Gradually, the sakhis also regained consciousness and in boundless bliss began to call out, "Jaya, jaya!" The poet Sri Madhuriji describes this pastime in a very charming way. After this incident, Sri Krsna thought to Himself, "Although I remain close by My beloved Srimati Radhika, I am unable to pacify the suffering She experiences in separation from Me. The heat of impending separation constantly scorches Her, and I see no means to console Her. When I am far away from Her, She constantly thinks of Me out of separation from Me. She becomes so absorbed in transcendental emotions that laughing, She talks to tamala trees, thinking them to be Me, and plays with Her sakhis. And sometimes She displays mana. In contrast, when I am close by Her, She is overwhelmed by a feeling of separation from Me, and She becomes distressed and cries. In this condition, I am unable to console Her, even if I am right beside Her. "Thus, Sri Radha can only be consoled when I am far away from Her. In this state of separation, Her fire of separation can be somewhat pacified upon having an internal transcendental vision (sphurti ) of Me or beholding objects like the tamala tree that possess a lustre similar to My own. This is because She actually considers them to be Me, Her dear most beloved." Thinking in this way, Krsna secretly decided to leave for a distant place. This is the main reason why He left Vrndavana to go to Mathura and Dvaraka. The transcendental sentiment that Srimati Radhika displays here is the topmost madana-bhava, which is found only in Her. It does not manifest even in Lalita and the other sakhis. In this madana-bhava, feelings of separation (vipralambha) and meeting (sambhoga), as well as all other mutually opposed bhavas, are present simultaneously in an astonishing way. Prema-sarovara is a manifestation of Radha and Krsna's transcendental sentiments. There is no doubt that by bathing in this pond, one attains prema for the Divine Couple Sri Radha-Krsna." Excerpt from the book 'Sri Vraja-mandal Parikrama' by Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja

We reached Barsana from goverdhan on 1 June by taking auto ( 30 per person). It take almost 30 min. First we decide to visit "Kirti mandir" but someone said it would be better at evening time. So we hire e rickshaw and told him to visit three places " Sanket wan baithak ji", "prem sarovar baithak ji" , " kirti mandir" for which he demanded 300 rs. Sanket wan is 18th baithak ji of shri mad vallbhacharya ji where "aap shri" recited "shri mad bhagwatam". Prem sarovar is baithak ji of shri vitthal nath ji Kirti mandir is mandir of Radha Devi seated in her mother's lap ( kirti ji) All places are very divine.

Once, Krishna and Radharani were sitting together. A bee zoomed near Radharani menacingly. 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. She wept and repeatedly cried out, "Oh, Pran-nath, where have You gone? She was in Mahabhav, that she didn't recognize that Krishna is sitting with him. Krishna tried to console her, but Seeing Radharani's cry of separation, Krishna also forgot that She was sitting on His lap and he also began to cry, and from the mix of their tears of love, the Prem Sarovar pond emerged. This is a Hindu Temple and a wonderful place for meditation

Places like this will make sure you should visit Vrindavan whenever you can

Nice place for photoshoot s

Very quiet and peaceful place. Although water is not clean as of now, but the place is still beautiful and there is a tree on this kund which is unique in itself where parrots are chirruping every time. I enjoyed this place as it reminds me of love and affection Radhakrishn showed to us! It is few kms when we move from barsana to nandgaon.... Must recommended place in life..
