Kamyavan signifies the forest that fulfils all spiritual desires. Our parikrama party took full advantage of our visit there by chanting from our hearts, hearing with rapt attention about the pastimes that took place in the forest there and by visiting a number of sacred temples and other sites. Kamyavan is rich with the history of Vedic culture. In particular is the deity of Vrindadevi, worshipped by Srila Rupa Goswami. Her presence in Kamyavan attracts many thousands of devotees each year. We all were mesmerised by her beauty and her and transcendental aura.
Vrinda devi helps Purnamasi plan and orchestrate Radha and Krsnas daily pastimes in Vrindavan. Our parikrama party had the good fortune to visit her kunda ( pond ) and discuss her glories and chant her holy names in that beautiful and sanctified abode.

Fifty years ago, a 70-year-old monk travelled from India to the United States in the hope of starting a spiritual revolution.
His name was Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and on July 13, 1966 he incorporated the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), formalising what is widely known as the Hare Krishna movement.
ISKCON now runs 602 temples, 54 schools and 65 farming communities across the globe.
This month, the New Govardhana Hare Krishna community at Eungella, near Murwillumbah in northern New South Wales, hosted about 1,000 visitors to mark the 50th anniversary of ISKCON.
New Govardhana president Ajita Dasa said the milestone proved the Hare Krishnas belonged to a serious religious institution.
«It means the establishment has gone through what most religious organisations have gone through,» he said.
