Ter Kadamba is a very important place in Vraja Mandala, Vrindavan. This is near Nanda Grama. Anybody in the village can tell you about the location of Ter-kadamba. Ter means to call, Krsna used to call the cows, gopis and gopas from the Kadamba tree at Ter Kadamba. On the day of Gopashtami, Mother Yasoda first sent Krishna to herd the calves. She dressed Him as a prince with jeweled ornaments, beautiful turban and silken clothes. When the friends of Krishna saw Him, they started making fun of Him. They said, “Look at Him. He has come dressed, as though He has come to take care of the kingdom. He has simply come to graze the calves, but in the dress of a King? We should remove His ornaments and royal clothes! The cowherd boys decided to dress Krsna like the cowherd boy He is. They then removed the gorgeous dresses and ornaments of Krsna and dressed Him nicely to their satisfaction and decorated Him with the flowers available there. They gathered varieties of colorful flowers and then put them on Krsna. Relishing these acts of His friends, Krsna also planned to make some fun with them. There is a lake near there which is called Shyam Talaiya. Through His potency, He covered that lake with small green floating leaves. And then pointing out towards the other side of the lake, He told His friends, “Oh My dear gopas, look on that side. Many flowers are blooming there. Why don’t you all pick them and bring to adorn Me?” Listening to Krsna’s words, all the gopas started running towards the other side not knowing they have to cross a lake in between to reach them. As they approached the lake, not noticing it covered by Krsna with the leaves, they all started falling into it, thus giving pleasure to Krsna. Ter in Vraja means ‘call’. #LoveBraj #Vraj #Terkadamba #Nandagaon #Vrindavan www.radharaman.org (at Ter Kadamba, Nandagaon.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B93W56Agmbb/?igshid=18j63ye9xtd9w
