Prem Sarovar - Barsana

Once, Krishna and Radharani were sitting together. A bee zoomed near Radharani menacingly. Krishna asked a Gopa friend to chase it away. When the friend drove the bee away and returned, he said, “Madhu is gone.” Madhu means bee and is the name of Krishna as well. Radharani felt Krishna went away and she began to cry.

She wept and repeatedly cried out, "Oh, Pran-nath, where have You gone? She was in Mahabhav, that she didn’t recognize that Krishna is sitting with him. Krishna tried to console her, but Seeing Radharani’s cry of separation, Krishna also forgot that She was sitting on His lap and he also began to cry, and from the mix of their tears of love, the Prem Sarovar pond emerged.

When the Sakhis saw Their condition, they too became senseless. Radha Rani's female parrot began to loudly chant Shri Radha's name, and the male parrot began to loudly chant Shri Krishna's name.

As They heard each other's name, Radha and Krishna regained external consciousness and gazed upon each other with great yearning. The Prem Sarovar is emerged from the tears of the Separation of Yugal Sarkar, although they are together.

Saint Shri Kumbhandas describes the glory of Shri Radha's feet in his famous couplet:
"Prem Sarovar Prem Ki Bhari Rahe Din Rain
 Janh Janh Pyari Pag Dharat Syam Dharat Tanh Nain"
- Shri Kumbhan das

Prema-sarovara in Braj is always filled with divine love. Pyari Radha keeps Her lotus feet there, and Krishn desires to keep her lotus feet in the vision of His eyes.

Prem Sarovar Prem Son Pooran Param Rasaal.
Nekun Neer KE Parsitein Vasein Hiye Jug Laal.
- Shri Priyadas Ji, Rasik Mohini (25)

Prem Sarovar situated in Barsana is an abode of pure love and a supremely blissful lake formed through the loving tears of Sri Radha Krishna. The divine couple dwells in the heart simply by touching the water (tears) of that Sarovar lovingly.
