Day 14 continued

 

Kamyavan Parikrama

 

Every year the party stops at Bimal kund. This is one of the more important

kunds of Vraja. The devotees enjoy swimming, and the quite atmosphere of

this place. This year, one sadhu has left his body, and a 24 hours kirtan

had been performed for 16-days. Here is the story of this kund.

 

This kund is named after King Bimal. He was married to 6,000 queens. All

these queens begot thousands and thousands of daughters. At a marriageable

age, these young beautiful princesses have no desire to marry anyone from

their countries, because previously during the time of Lord Rama they had

become attracted to Him, desiring Him as their husband. But because of a vow

to marry only Sita Devi, Sri Rama could not satisfy their desire. Instead,

the Lord promised that He would marry them in Kali yuga. So, these ladies

now appeared as the daughters of King Bimal.

 

While they were dancing with the Lord, their bodies were perspiring and

tears were coming from their eyes. This Kund was formed from the

perspiration of their bodies and the tears of their eyes.

 

Mal means dirt, and bimal means free from dirt. This water which is

uncontaminated is completely pure. It is not mundane water made with oxygen

and hydrogen. The body of the gopis is not made with material elements, it

is all spiritual. As we take bath in this Kund transcendence is entering our

soul to purify our existence.

 

In the Kamyavan forest Kamesvara is also residing here. Kamesvara is a name

of Lord Siva. He is serving the dhama by keeping bad elements out, and by

maintaining some laws and order. Siva is rendering service to the Lord. We

also pray to Siva to get some service and some drop of Krsna prema. That

Lord Siva could give us, we do not approach lord Siva to get any material

things.
