== Relevance in history ==
Following the sacred writing "Sri Upadeshamrita" (The Nectar of Instruction) by early 16th-century saint Srila Rupa Gosvami of Vrindavan, a close associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Vaishnava Hindus consider Radha-Kund to be the supreme of all holy places.〔Rupa Gosvami: ''(Sri Upadeshamrita )'', verse 9. Gaudiya Vedanta Publications, 2003.〕 History has it that when Lord Krishna slayed a mighty asura (demon) in the form of a bull, his consort Radha tersely told Krishna to wash off his sins by taking dips in various holy rivers. Krishna laughed it off and struck the ground with his foot whereupon the mighty rivers emerged, welled up and formed a kunda (little water body). Subsequently the Lord bathed in the water to please Radha. The kunda came to be called "Shyam-Kund". Indignant that Krishna used his powers for this, Radha and her girl attendants dug out a kunda with their bangles and filled it with water from “Manasi-Ganga”, another holy kunda at nearby Govardhan. That particular kunda is today's "Radha-Kund" where people come from far and wide to take a dip.〔Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja: ''(Sri Vrajmandala-Parikrama )'', pages 139-144. Gaudiya Vedanta Publications, 2007.〕
