Tales

The sacred Radha Raman Temple was founded by Gopal Bhatta Goswami around 500 years ago. At the age of thirty, he arrived in Vrindavan. After the absence of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he felt distant from the Lord. Consequently, he dreamed that the Lord told him to go to Nepal to obtain his darshana. When Gopala Bhatta Swami went to the notorious Kali Gandaki River in Nepal to take a bath, he discovered that six Shaligrams had gotten into his water pot. They continued getting back into the pot even after he attempted to dump them back into the river. He discovered and brought with him a total of twelve Shaligram Shilas. He worshipped them on the day of Poornima, placed them in a wicker basket, and then retired to rest. When he opened them the following morning, he discovered that there were just eleven Shilas and a flute-playing Lord Krishna idol. Essentially, it was one of the Shilas that had transformed into Radha Raman, a deity through self-manifestation. This temple tells the tale of Radha Raman's appearance and the location of the original Shila.
