Sri Krishna´s grandson Vajranabha
had three deities carved according the descriptions of Krishna given by
Parikshit´s mother Uttara. When they were finished, Uttara confirmed that
Govinda Deva had the same lotus face as Krishna, Madanmohan had the same strong
and shapely legs, and Gopinath had the same broad shoulders and chest.
Thousands of years later the same deity of Gopinath was rediscovered at Vamsi
Vat in Vrindavan by Gadadhar Pandit´s disciple Paramananda Bhattacharya. Later
the seva was taken over by Sri Madhu Pandit, whose samadhi is located in back
of the temple premises.
