Mathura, being the birthplace of Lord Krishna, is one of the important Hindu pilgrimage sites. Every inch of Mathura is clothed in reverend devotion to Lord Krishna, the eternal lover of Radha, the warrior, the diplomat and the hero of the cowherd colleagues. Mathura without Lord Krishna is like Life without Water. There is hardly any need to mention that the city of Mathura (and the whole of Brajbhumi, for that matter) is not an ordinary material city, for it is the transcendental abode of Lord Krishna and His consorts and a Cosmic Place forHis Divine ‘Leela’ sport Vrindavan is specially known for Krishna’s humorous antics and pranks, his dalliances with village girls from Gokul known as Gopis and his romance with Radha, his lifetime companion which became the basis for the ‘bhaktiras’, the divine love between master and disciple. It is this divine love that bears relevance to Vrindavan and the manner in which it has grown over the past few centuries to not only becoming a place of worship for Krishna followers but also as a a seat of learning of Vaishnavism. The famous Sanskrit poet, Jayadeva’s poem Gita Govinda is a compilation of the divine life of Krishna.
