Vrindavan Darshan

From Seva Kunja the parikrama party went to Sri Radha Damodar Temple. and took darshan of Sri Sri Radha Damodar and circumambulated Their temple as well as the samadhis of great personalities there like Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Jiva Goswami, Srila Krsnadas Kaviraj, Srila Bugarbha Goswami, Srila Prabhupad Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur and more. From Sri Radha Damodar Temple, on the way back to Gopinath Bhavan we took darshan of Sringar Vat, the holy tree under which Krishna met Srimati Radhika after she left the Rasa dance and attempting to break Her mana (jealous anger), He decorated Her with flowers. This place is also where Nityananda Prabhu resided when He visited Vraja. Thus it is also called Nityananda Vata.
For more detailed description of the pastimes in these wonderful places, read Sri Vraja mandal Parikrama book by Sri Srimad Bhaktiventa Narayan Goswami available for download at http://www.purebhakti.com/resources/ebooks-a-magazines-mainmenu-63/doc_downlo...
Returning to Gopinath Bhavan, this video coverage ends with a quick darshan of our kitchen crew, in appreciation for their wonderful service of preparing and feeding prasadam to hundreds of our parikrama pilgrims from all over the world.



After circumambulating Nidhuvan, our parikrama party proceeded to Sri Radharaman Temple. Before taking the darshan of Sri Radharamanji, we take the shelter of Sri Gopal Bhatta Goswami, His dear devotee to whom He manifested Himself. Therefore, in this episode we first went to the samadhi temple of Gopal Bhatta Goswami then took a lovely darshan of the Supremely Beautiful Sri Radharamanjiu.



After taking darshan of Sri Radharamanjiu, we proceeded to the temples of Sri Radha-Gokulananda where you can take darshan of Sri Radhavinodji the worshipful Deities of Sri Lokanath Goswami and Sri Radha Gokulanandaji, the worshipful Deities of Srila Viswanath Chakravarty Thakur. Within the temple premise, you can do parikrama of the samadhi mandirs of Srila Lokanath Goswami, Srila Visvanath Chakravarty Thakur and Srila Narottam das Thakur. Then just nearby is the temple of Sri Sri Radha-gopinath. You are lucky that Thakurji is giving His darshan in this video. Then finally we took the beautiful darshan of Sri Radha Shyamasundar after first taking shelter of the mercy of Srila Shyamananda Prabhu in his bhajan cave within the temple area. Photography is prohibited in the temple so i wasn't allowed to capture the very interesting and wonderful sringar (outfit and decoration) of Shri Shyamasundar today. But if you know where to pause the video you may have a glimpse of how Shri Shyamasundar is today dressed as a lady gardener in order to meet with His beloved Radhika. Jaya Jaya Sri Radhe! Gaur Premanande!
