    Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami

    From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:

    When Śrī Vallabhācārya came to Vraja, he visited this ghāṭa at the Yamunā, finding it extremely attractive. He heard from the respectable elderly Vrajavāsīs about Nanda Bābā’s cowshed nearby. They informed him that the ghāṭa where he was sitting was well known by the name of Govinda-ghāṭa. Śrī Vallabhācārya became so delighted that he performed a Bhāgavata-saptāha (recitation of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam for seven days) under the śamī tree here.

    Other places of darśana in Gokula include the garden of Gokulanātha, Bājana-ṭīlā, Siṁhapauḍī, Yaśodā-ghāṭa, the nearby temple of Śrī Viṭṭhalanātha, Śrī Madana-mohana Temple, Śrī Mādhavarāya Temple, Śrī Gokulanātha Temple, Śrī Navanītapriya Temple, Śrī Dvārakānātha Temple, the nearby brahmachokra tree, Śrī Gokula-candramā Temple, Śrī Mathurānātha Temple, the place where Śrī Nanda Mahārāja kept his cart, and so forth.

    In the village of Nauraṅgabāda, which lies across the Yamunā facing Gokula, are the temple of Śrī Gaṅgājī and other places of darśana.
