The purans make a mention that even during mahapralye this portion of the land on the earth does not drown.

IMPORTANT TEMPLES OF VRINDAVAN
Vrindavan is the most sacred and favourite place of sri krishna.It is fullof greenery all around. The trees, the vines, the creepers and bushes of Vrindavan are so beauitiful that one would give ll the possions of the world to stay there for ever.The place is so enchanting and there is some unseen vibrations and magical srenity in the air which makes one feel that Krishna is there, looking at you lovingly, smilingly and enchantingly.The fresh scent of the air is so pleasing that one really feels the prsence of Kanha with his cows and his sakha’s who are always in a playful mood with him. The sakhi’s are so much blessed to be a part of Kanha’s leelas or pastimes that they feel vaikunta is no where near the diviny that can be experienced here. It is on this land where kanha walked bare footed because his dear cows also walked bare footed. The marks of Kanha’s lotus feet have made this part of the land so auspicious as well as pure.

By
Vrindavan so van nahi, gokul jaiso gaaon, Radhe jaisi gopi nahi sri krishna jaiso naam. Some 60 years ago Vrindavan was a very deep forest. There were many wild animals also. In vrindavan itself there were quite a number of vana’s but 12 of them are very significant for some leela or the other of radha krishna. 1. NIDHI VAN-----This is near Sri Radharaman and shahj’s temple. This is the place from where Banke Bihari made his appearance. It was the main bhajan sthali of sriharidasji. Now w can have darshan of his samaadhi.also. No one can stay here in the night bcause even today the raas leela of radha krishna continues here.One great devotee of Radha Bihariji used to sweep this plce and he found Radhaji’s nupur here. 2Nikunjvan----- This van is also known as seva kunj. It is located near Radha Damodar temple. In the sevakunj there is a remple of Radha krishna. It is believed that even today the leels are performed by the duo here and no one can stay there in the late hours of night. 3s

Some of his leelas which Swami Shri Haridasji experienced in the nikunj in his Samadhi state are being explained below.

KELI LEELA 1. ‘Mai ri sahaj jori pragat bhai’ …… When Bihari ji appeared on Bihari Panchmi day in the month of December, there was a music recital where great classical singers had gathered to sing for Bihari ji.

While they were bathing, krishna stole their clothes.He wanted them to know that they should not bath naked in the river,as it is against the principles of our shastra’s.
