Uddhava Kyari


Uddhava Kyari is where Uddhava met the gopis, when he was sent by Krishna to deliver a message to them. Uddhava came to this secluded forest area to deliver the message. Srimati Radharani exhibited maha-bhava, the topmost symptoms of ecstatic love, while the message was being read to the gopis.

“Uddhava is described as the most exalted personality in the Vrishni dynasty, almost equal to Krishna. He was a great friend, and on account of being the direct student of Brihaspati, the teacher and priest of the heavenly planets, he was very intelligent and sharp in decision. From the intellectual standpoint, he was highly qualified. Krishna, being a very loving friend of Uddhava, wanted to send him to Vrindavana just to study the highly elevated ecstatic devotional service practiced there. Even if one is highly elevated in material education and is even the disciple of Brihaspati, he still has to learn from the gopis and the residents of Vrindavana how to love Krishna to the highest degree. Sending Uddhava to Vrindavana with a message to the residents of Vrindavana to pacify them was Krishna’s special favor to Uddhava.” (Krishna Book, 45)
