Pancha Tirtha Kunda

This place is called Pancha Tirtha because five holy places are said to be within its water. They are:
  1. Gomati,
  2. Narmada,
  3. Sarayu,
  4. Vetri and
  5. Kanchi.

It is also said that this place is called Pancha Tirtha because it has five important bathing places within it: the
  1. Ganges,
  2. Pushkar,
  3. Prayag,
  4. Kurukshetra and
  5. Gaya.

The building in front of this kunda is known as the Bharatpur Raja’s Chatri.

How To Get Here This place is on the right hand side, just after entering the town of Govardhana. It is set back from the parikrama path, behind a good-sized structure that looks like the one at Kusuma Sarovara. It is across the street from Manasi Ganga. When I came here, it was not possible to enter the enclosure that Pancha Tirtha Kunda was located in, and it is not normally open to the public.

Girirani

By Vicitri.
Some people say that Giriraja is Krsna Himself. This is true, but Gurudeva tells that Giriraja is also a female friend of Radhika, because Govardhana provides the settings and witnesses Radha-Krsna's amorous pastimes, and only a female can be present then. So here Govardhana revealed his female form to me one morning. I grabbed my pencils and tried to capture her.
