Happy Bahulastami


Today is the appearance day of Radha-Kunda, the sacred lake of Srimat Radhika, Who is the dearest cowgirl of Vrindavana, eternal lover of Krishna... This holy Kunda is located at the tip of Govardhan Hill. The glories of Radha-kunda is described in Nectar of Instruction by Srila Rupa Goswami.

"The holy place known as Mathura is spiritually superior to Vaikuntha, the transcendental world, because the Lord appeared there. Superior to Mathura puri is the transcendental forest of Vrndavana because of Krsna's rasalila pastimes. And superior to the forest of Vrndavana is Goverdhana Hill, for it was raised by the divine hand of Sri Krsna and was the site of his various loving pastimes. And, above all, the superexcellent Sri Radha Kunda stands supreme, for it is overflooded with the ambrosial nectarean prema of the Lord of gokula, Sri Krsna. Where, then, is that intelligent person who is unwilling to serve this divine Radha Kunda, which is situated at the foot of Goverdhana Hill?"
