    Shri Krishna is in my heart, in my soul, in every drop of my blood. I want to visit this place. I do not know if it will be possible or not for me.

    Jaishrikrishna I want to do lili parikrma but only Shrinathji Bava knows when I will be able to do. I wish I can feel near Bal Krishna in Gokul. I have done too many sin in life, some of them are un-pardonable therefore I do not know if Bal Krishna will let me touch such a pavitra bhumi. I am very bad and evil so Bal Krishna will never let me in Gokul or Vraj Bhumi. There will be no one like me with the badest of badest sin I have done. Only God can fogive me. Jaishrikrishna to all.

    Gokul lies to the west of Sadabad, 1.6 km from Mahavan and 15 km south-west of Mathura. It lies on the banks of river Yamuna where Lord Krishna was brought up in secrecy by Yasodha. Gokul attained importance during the time of Vallabhacharya (1479-1531) when it became a major center of the Bhakti cult. The three olde temples dedicated to Gokulnath, Madan Mohan and Vithalnath, are said to have been built around 1511. The festivals celebrated with traditional flavor include the Janmashtami in August, the Janmotsav in Bhadaon, the Annakut Festival, and the Trinavat Mela held on the fourth day of the dark half of Kartik. Important sites worth visiting in Gokul include the Gokulnath Temple, Raja Thakur Temple, Gopal Lalji Temple, and Morwala Temple.
