Govindaram Posted March 30, 2004 Report Share Posted March 30, 2004 Tour of Vraj {Gallery of Vraj w/descriptions} </font color> <font color="red">~Sri Sri Radha Govindaji~</font color> Sri Govinda was originally installed nearly 5,000 years ago by Lord Krsna's great-grandson. Govinda is one of the four presiding Deities of Braja-mandala. But for long time the Deity was lost... Rupa Goswami, feeling separation because of being unable to find Deity of Govinda, sat under a tree on the bank of Yamuna... ...At that time a beautiful young boy came and told him of a hill where a cow went every day and poured milk into a hole. The young boy then disappeared and Rupa Goswami went there... ...He started to dig on that spot and discovered the Deity of Sri Govindaji. Purusottama, the son of King Prapatarudra, sent the Deity of Radharani from Jagannath Puri to be installed next to Govindadeva. This was first Deity of Radharani to be installed in Vrindavana. ==== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
