a partial Vrindavan parikrama

Haribol!

The first morning we were in Vrindavan, we attempted a Vrindavan parikrama (walking around Vrindavan, about 7 miles), but we only made it about 1/3 of the way...but still had a good time.

Kaliya Ghat
where Krsna fought and subdued the Kaliya serpent


Mahabhagavata came with us.  She took us around to many places during our stay.  This is the actual branch where Krsna tightened His belt, flapped His arms like a wrestler and jumped into the Yamuna.

this is so typical in Vrindavan--respect for all living entities--build your house around the tree if the tree was there first...

Sringar Vat
a pastime place of Radha & Krsna



this tree is the sitting place of Lord Nityananda, in the temple courtyard






Who, me?  This monkey snuck right up and swiped Nitai's banana right out of his hand...boy, was he mad
Here she is chowing down...it was so funny!
How convenient, you can park your cow and your motor bike @ the same place!
