Govindaji took His bath and then came out. And He said to
Radharani, You
took the side of a demon. Why dont You purify Yourself by
taking bath in
My kund And She said, I will not take bath in your kund.
Because the sin
of killing cows is in Your kund. I will make My own kund.
So, She found
one of the hoof prints of Aristasura. And Her and the sakhis
and the gopis
they took off their
bracelets, and broke them into little shovels and
they were digging. And She made a chain of Gopis that went
all the way to
Mansi ganga. They were handing buckets of water. Seeing
Radharani and gopis working so hard, Krishna was not happy. So, He turned to
the personification representing all the holy places in the universe. And that
person came out of Syamakunda and approached Srimati Radharani, with folded palms,
bowed at Her lotus feet and prayed, Please, I am the very embodiment of all the
holy places of the universe. The only desire we have in our lives is if You
bestow the supreme fortune and blessing upon us. We beg a benediction from You.
Because he was so sincere, with such love, Sri Radhika replied, What is that
benediction He said, Allow us to fill your kund also. So, She smiled and looked
at Krishna and said, So be it. And the water from Syama kund over flooded and
filled Sri Radha kund.
And Krishna told Srimati Radharani, As You are most dear to
Me, similarly,
Radhakund is equally dear to Me. And everyday in the
afternoon, Radha and
Krishna, with their most intimate associates, performed
Rasalila and other such pastimes on the bank of Sri Radha kind. Rupa Goswami
quoting from the scriptures, had declared to us that Radhakund is the holiest
of all holy places. Of all the planets within this universe, the Earth is most
holy.Because so many of the avatars of the Lord come. Of all places on Earth, Bharata
varsha, India is very sacred. Because so many of the pastimes the Lord has
performed in so many incarnations here. And within India, the
holiest place is the area of Mathura, where the source of
all avatars, the avatari, took His birth. And in all of Mathura, the holiest
place is the forest of Vrindavan where Krishna performed His most intimate
pastimes. And in the forest of Vrindavan, the holiest place is Govardhan. And
in the area of Govardhan, the most sacred of all sacred places in the entire
creation is Radha kunda. The water of radha kunda is the liquid love of Srimati
Radha Rani. And just by seeing that water, touching that water and what to speak
of bathing in that water. And if we have the proper consciousness toaccess th at
blessing, Radhas love fills our hearts and perfects our lives. On Bahulastami
at midnight hundreds and thousands of Vrajvasis and pilgrims will be there
taking their bath at Sri Radha Kund.
