About Shreenathji Punchhari, Goverdhan in Raghav Pandit Gufa, near punchhari, Govardhan, Mathura

This place is Shree Shree Nath Jee mandir in Punchri (Goverdhan Parikrama Marg). Shree Radha and Krisna used to meet and enjoy their intimate pastimes together in this Goverdhan cave. Raghava Pandit, an associate of Mahaprabhu, used this cave as his bhajan-kutir to perform his nirjana-bhajana (secluded bhajana). He lived at Govardhan and Srila Rupa Gosvami arranged for Srinivasa Acarya and Narottama Thakur to go on Braj-mandala parikrama with Raghava Pandit. During resent times too many Rasik Saints made this as the place for their Bhajan. Pandit Ramkrishn Daas Baba Jee is one of such great Saints of Braj. Shree Radha Rani personally came to him and suggested to do Bhajan Sadhna at this Raghav Pandit's Gufa (cave). Pandit Ramkrishna Daas Baba Jee, remained in the thought of divine couple here and forgot to come out of this Gufa for days. When I visited here I realized how revered is the life of saints. This Gufa is so narrow that I wasn't comfortable entering into this even and saints used to live in it for days.
