SHRI DHEER SAMEER KUNJ

The sacred site of Dheera Sameera is beautifully glorified in the Gita Govinda by the poet Jayadeva, where he describes Shri Krishna, adorned with forest flowers, waiting for Shri Radha’s arrival along the banks of the holy Yamuna River.

The name itself carries divine meaning:

  • Dheera – gentle, calm

  • Sameera – wind or breeze

According to the tradition, once Shri Radha and Shri Krishna were seated together in this kunja, when Krishna began to play His enchanting flute. The sweet and melodious notes captivated not just the hearts of devotees, but even the very winds of Vrindavan.

On that day, although the breeze was strong, as it approached this place, it became gentle and graceful, absorbed in the divine sound of Krishna’s flute. The wind lingered here, unwilling to part from the music of Shyamsundar. Since then, this sacred grove has been known as Dheera Sameera, the place where the breeze itself became intoxicated in devotion.
