Today, during Sri Vraja Mandal Parikrama, Srila Bhaktivedanta Vana Gosvami Maharaja Ji led devotees to the most sacred place in the entire universe — Sri Radha Kunda.
Radha Kunda is not an ordinary pond. It is Srimati Radhika Herself, manifest in liquid form — Her mahabhava, Her divine love, flowing as water.
To bathe here is to touch the heart of Radharani.
Verse:
kṛṣṇasyoccaiḥ praṇaya-vasatiḥ preyasībhyo ’pi rādhā
kuṇḍaṁ cāsyā munibhir abhitas tādṛg eva vyadhāyi
yat preṣṭhair apy alam asulabhaṁ kiṁ punar bhakti-bhājāṁ
tat premedaṁ sakṛd api saraḥ snātur āviṣkaroti
Translation:
It has been established by great sages that amongst all the beloved vraja–gopīs, Śrī Rādhā is Kṛṣṇa’s most treasured object of love. Similarly, Her kuṇḍa is just as dear to Him. One who bathes even once in the waters of Rādhā-kuṇḍa attains love for Kṛṣṇa which is extremely difficult to achieve even for great devotees, what to speak of ordinary devotees.
Today, devotees from over sixty countries walked around Radha Kunda, singing, crying, and praying to serve Srimati Radhika life after life.
The journey to Goloka Vrindavan begins here — in the waters of Sri Radha Kunda.
Radha Kunda ki jay.
Radharani ki jay.
Jay Jay Sri Radhe.
