Samadhi Place of Shri Govind Swami, Govardhan

Samadhi Place of Shri Govind Swami, Govardhan

Shri Govind Swami (1505 - 1586), an ashtachhap poet of pushtimarg who was a disciple of Shri Gusain Shri Vitthal Nath performed bhajan at this place in Braj which is located near Aerawat Kund, Jatipura. His samadhi is also located here. He used to sing padas in front of Shrinath Ji. He was considered the incarnation of Sridama (a friend of Shri Krishn).
 
Once Shrinathji was playing the flute sitting on top of Shyamdhak and Shri Govindswami was watching this sitting at a distance. At the same time, Shri Gusain Ji took a bath and moved towards the temple for the Utthapan (to wake) of Shrinathji. When Shrinathji saw Gusain Ji from Shyamdak, He jumped from there in a hurry, due to which his clothes were torn from the branch of a tree and a piece of cloth remained on the same branch. That tree still exists near the samadhi place with a cloth.

Shrinathji is currently residing in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, but it is believed that He comes daily here riding on a chariot to the samadhi place to perform divine pastimes. There is a Kadamb tree in the samadhi area on which a swing is installed and it is believed that Shrinathji himself comes here to swing.

Nearby the samadhi place is the temple of Shri Banbihari Ji, Govind Kund, and Kadamb forest where Shrinathji performs divine pastimes.
