Sri Radhe-Krsna's playful pastimes (vihara) - Sahasi-kunda

Here, the sakhis encouraged and arranged for Radhaji to meet with Krsna. The sakhis would hang a beautiful swing from the nearby banyan tree, and swing Radha and Krsna while singing songs in malhara and other ragas. Sometimes Krsna came here to meet with Radhika and enjoy pastimes with Her.

Another name of Sahasi-kunda is Sarasi-kunda. Krsna and Balarama were inseperable. They would eat together, play together and even sleep together. Once, the two brothers were playing here when Yasoda-maiya came looking for them. She affectionately addressed Them as a pair of swans, or saras. Since then, this pond has been called Sarasi-kunda.
