Uddhav Kyari, Nandgaon

This site has special place in the hearts of those who relish famous Uddhav-Gopi Samvad mentioned in the Shrimad Bhagvatam about the niraakar (formless) God versus saakar God (with form). Uddhav, a close friend of Krishna, had deep faith in the knowledge based spiritual path. In order to teach him the importance of bhakti (devotion) Krishna sent him from His palace in Mathura as a messenger to Gopis, His milkmaid friends of rural areas, conveying that they should forget Krishna and meditate upon Brhma i.e.Parmatman. Udhav, considering this as a trivial job, came to Braj with his puffed up ego. It was in this forest he met Radha and other Gopis. It was here that the famous historic debate between him and gopis took place. His effort to convert them to gyan marg failed completely. Gopis responded to his preaching in a satirist way and expressed their unconditional love for Krishna. This conversation is known as Bhramar Geet. This entire episode finds mentioned in the 10th chapter of Shrimad Bhagwatam. Here Uddhav Ji considered Shri Radha and gopis as her Guru and received 'prema' from them.
