ISKCON Ashram at Radha-kunda

A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma

In 1994, this temple was donated to Bhakti Swarupa Damodara Maharaja and ISKCON. There is an interesting story of the Deity of Gopala in this temple. This Deity was originately worshiped in the house of a Brahman. About one hundred years ago, the King of Manipur, Maharaja Churachand, in which Gopala appeared to in a dream, told him to build a temple dedicated to Him at Radha Kunda, which would give Him a view of Radha Kund and also Surya, the sun-god, would get his darshan. The king built the temple so the first rays of the sun would fall directly on the face of Gopala.

Directions: From the Radha Krishna Temple, return to the parikrama path, turn left and walk 20m (60 ft). The next road you see is the Govardhana parikrama path. Just after this junction, on the left, is this red stone Gopala Manipur Mandir.
