Vajranatha

Vajranabha built a bathing tank at Syama Kunda to commemorate the place where Krishna killed Aristasura. When there is water in Syama Kunda this kunda cannot be seen. When Syama Kunda is empty, you can see a wall encircling a small deep kunda in the center of Syama Kunda. This kunda is called Vajranatha Kunda.

Pandit

Badarikashrama

Lord Caitanya was searching for Aritagram, because according to the scriptures this is the place where the famous Radha-Kunda and Shyama Kund were present. So one day Lord Caitanya sat under a Tamala tree and while meditating upon Radha-Kunda and Shyama- Kunda, He saw two bodies of water in a nearby paddy field. Lord Caitanya who is none other then Radha and Krishna, could immediately identify them as Radha Kunda & Shyama Kunda. He very happily took the waters of the kundas and applied tilaka on His body using the clay from Radha-kunda.

Raghunath Das Goswami witnessed Lord Chaitanya’s pastimes at Puri, and after the departure of Lord Caitanya and His associates he came to Vrindavan. Sanatana Goswami instructed him to stay near Radha-Kunda where he daily spoke for 3 hours on Gaur Lila. He performed his bhajan at Radha-Kunda. One time Raghunath Das Goswami, understanding the mood of Lord Chaitanya, was thinking that Lord Caitanya wanted the holy places of Vrindavan to be excavated for the benefit of all people. But at that time Radha-Kunda & Shyama-Kunda were just two small ponds. Raghunath Das Goswami thought of excavating them but he didn’t want to entangle himself in money etc. Radha & Krishna understood his heart.

At the same time a wealthy merchant was on his way to Badrikasrama with the intention of building a beautiful temple for Lord Badrinath. Badrinath appeared in the dream of that merchant and instructed him to excavate Radha-Kunda under the guidance of Raghunath Das Goswami instead. In this way Radha-Kunda & Shyama-Kunda were excavated.

Panca-Pandava-Ghata

Pandavas lived as trees on the bank of Syama-Kunda. When Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami was excavating Syama-Kunda, Maharaja Yudhisthira appeared to him in a dream. He told him not to cut the trees beside Syama-Kunda, because he and his brothers, the Pandavas, were living there as trees, meditating on the banks of Syama-Kunda. He therefore dug around the trees, giving Syama-Kunda its irregular shape. Local authorities say the Pandavas have left and only a dead tree marks the place of their previous residence.

Pathway

About 5 m (15 ft) past the Madana Mohana temple are the stairs that lead to the path where Radha-Kunda and Syama-Kunda meet. Near these stairs is a Gaura Nitai temple.The Sangam (meeting place) of Radha-Kunda and Syama-Kunda is called Ratna-vedi (jeweled platform). There are slits in the stone path between Radha-Kunda and Syama-Kunda, that allows mixing of the waters of these two kundas.On this path, just past the mini-mountain of Govardhana-shilas, is a small open air shrine honoring the lotus footprints of Radha Syamasundara, called Sri Carana Cinha. There are some interesting Govardhana-shilas in this temple.

About five metres (15 ft) further is a Neem tree hanging over the path beside Radha-Kunda. This area is called Govinda-Ghata. This is where Radha and Krishna are said to sometimes enjoy jhulana (swing) pastimes.
