Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Discovers Shri Radha-Kunda and Shyam-Kunda

These two divine Kundas, Radha-Kunda and Shyam-Kunda in Goverdhan Vrindavan, which are surrounded by beautiful forests and which enchant the sages and demigods. After visiting the other forests of Vrindavan, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came here and sat under this tamala tree. He asked the residents of Aristra-grama where the two Kundas were, but no one could answer. The brahmana accompanying Him from Mathura also did not know. “Being the omniscient Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, carefully searched and discovered the two Kundas in two paddy fields. He joyfully took a bath in whatever little water was there and glorified the Kundas in various ways. Then He marked His forehead with mud from the Kundas. “The villagers were greatly startled by His behavior. One of them inquired, ‘From where has this sanyasi suddenly come?' Someone said, ‘O brother, by seeing Him I cannot understand what is happening in my body.' Another person said, ‘He cannot be a mortal sanyasi. Seeing Him I cannot explain what is happening in my mind.' “Someone else said, ‘Who says He is a sanyasi? He is Krishna Himself appearing in this dress and form. Just see the proof. Different birds are all coming for His darshana. The cuckoos and parrots are happily addressing Him as Krishna, and the peacocks are dancing in jubilation. The different sounds of the birds are very pleasing to the ears. ‘O brother, I repeatedly glorify the good fortune of these creatures, who are seeing Krishna in this form and dress. Dear brothers, let us offer obeisances unto the feet of the Lord, who has incarnated to distribute knowledge to the people. Speaking like this amongst themselves, they all became maddened by the nectarine sight of Mahaprabhu at this holiest site. Even Lord Brahma cannot describe a fragment of Mahaprabhu's ecstatic expression when He discovered these Kundas.
