Barsana Diaries

Have you been mulling over a pilgrimage trip to Vrindavan? In that case, you should not be missing this holy village of Barsana, a few kilometers away. Barsana is famous for being Radharani's home, having King Vrishbhanu's palace and the enthusiastic celebration of the Holi festival. Lord Brahma took birth as a hill in this village so he could directly witness the pastimes of the loving couple of Sri Radha-Krishna. This book walks you through those groves and spots in Barsana, where many a pastime occurred. It's believed that Sri Radharani planted the trees here.



This book further explores hitherto unvisited areas in this holy land - treasures hidden away. In the pastimes of Sri Radha and Krishna, the Ashta (eight) Sakhis (girlfriends) have an extraordinary role. This book takes the reader through a journey to the temple of the Ashta Sakhis in villages around Barsana. The photographs capture the rustic village landscape, people, culture, folklore, religion, and the deep love for Sri Radha Krishna.



Spend a few days at Barsana. Visit Radharani and the Ashtasakhis.
