Bridavan
- Sri Krishna Mandir
Cluster
of temple towers gleam into the sight, the very moment the word 'Brindavan'
sails into ears. Souls feel lifted, minds filled with memories, when legs move
towards it dancing. Test its veracity, if you Eke and realize its glory by
praying, if you like.
It
was once a thick forest overgrown with basil trees, and so the name Brindavan.
Its fertile virgin soil, rich vegetation and gurgling waters attracted the Gopas,
when calamities visited on them, while at Gokul. And so they migrated to this
place. Many of the adult sports of Sri Krishna, like Rasalila, Chirahaian
occurred here. Scores of shrines of supreme architectural grandeur are built
from time to time since then. Among them, Sri
Rangaji, RadhaVafabh, Govinda Dev, Gopinath, Madanmohan and Jugalkishor temples
are deservedly famous. This place is preferred by the retired personnel, and so gray
haired gentry greet the visiting people everywhere. Its climate and coot waters
together with devotional atmosphere hold such grip on them, that they desire to
retire from this. mundane world from this sacred spot for ever. A laudable and
exemplary ambition indeed! Realized they are, .hence the preference for spiritualized
spot.
It is 10 kms off Mathura, accessible by bus.
