The Holy Lake of Srimati Radharani
Radhakunda is a sacred town and pond located at the foot of Govardhan Hill in Vrindavan, India.
It is a significant pilgrimage site dedicated to the goddess of love Radha and is considered a divine water body where Radharani and the gopis (cowherd maidens) performed their pastimes with Lord Krishna.
The site was rediscovered in the 16th century by Gauranga Mahaprabhu and subsequently restored by his followers.
Sri Raghunatha Dasa Goswami served Chaitanya mahaprabhu for sixteen years at Jagannatha Puri after which he went to Vrindavan in c. 1543-44, where he lived for many years at the sacred lake Radhakunda. His bhajana kutir, or place of worship, still exists there and is visited by many pilgrims to this day.
Voluntary service (seva) is performed in Radhakunda out of a deep spiritual devotion to Radha and Krishna, to maintain the sacredness and beauty of the holy site for pilgrims, and to spiritually uplift the individual performing the service by fostering qualities like compassion, empathy, and a selfless attitude.
On Radhastami (Birthday of Srimati Radharani) 2025 BV Sadhu Maharaja started the seva of food distribution in Radhakunda.
