Ter Kadamba
A Comprehensive Guide to Śrī Vṛndāvana Dhāma
Ter Kadamba is a small forest close to Nandagram. It is said that Krishna would sit here and play His flute, attracting the cows. Krishna would take the cows grazing here. It is said that Krishna would sit here and count the cows when they came back from grazing. It is also said that Radharani would walk by this place from Javat, when She would come to cook for Krishna at Pavana Sarovara. Very few people visit this place. The person who looks after this place does not speak English, but is very knowledgeable about the places in the area. He is also a very nice devotee.
The bhajana-kutir of Rupa Gosvami is located here. He lived here for a while. There is a Ter Kadamba tree here that Rupa Gosvami is said to have sat under, when he wrote.
Directions: This place is 1½ km east of Nandagram, off a dirt road, in the middle of some fields, completely by itself. It is between Nandagram and Javat. If you just came from Pavana Sarovara and made a right onto the road to Varsana, the road that goes to this place is the first dirt road on the left. Ter Kadamba is 1½ km (1 mile) down this road, on the left hand side. It is possible to drive to this place, but for the first 150m the road is pretty bad. To get here, you can ask for the Asesvara Mahadeva Temple, which is across the dirt road and down about 300m from this place. The place that marks where the bhajana kutir of Sanatana Gosvami is located is a 7m (21 ft) high brick building.
