Five thousand years ago, the province of Sindh (now situated in present-day Pakistan) was ruled by King Vimala, who resided in Champaka Nagari. Despite having six thousand queens, he had no children at first. However, Sage Yajnavalkya blessed him with ten million daughters. Interestingly, these daughters were all reincarnations of women from Ayodhya who, in their previous lives, yearned to be married to Lord Ramachandra. Unfortunately, their dreams were never fulfilled as Lord Rama vowed to accept only one wife. However, during the Dvapara Yuga, Lord Krishna descended and reciprocated with their long-cherished desires.
Upon reaching a marriageable age, King Vimala desired to marry all his daughters to Lord Krishna. Delighted by this request, Lord Krishna accepted and wedded all the princesses at Champaka Nagari. He then brought them to Kamyavan (Kaman) where He performed the Rasa dance with them. As there were as many princesses, Lord Krishna expanded into countless forms, and associated with them, thus fulfilling their ultimate dream. The tears of joy that flowed from these princesses created a pond now known as Vimal Kunda, where one can bathe and have all their material and spiritual desires fulfilled. It is believed that by bathing here, one can attain pure love for Lord Krishna.
There is another fascinating incident linked with Vimal Kunda. According to legend, during Chaturmasya, all the holy places manifest themselves in Vraja Mandala except for Pushkar, who failed to appear once. Lord Krishna hence remembered Yogmaya, who caused a powerful stream of water to gush out of the earth. From that sacred stream emerged a beautiful young girl with whom Lord Krishna frolicked and sported in the waters and bestowed His blessings upon her. From that day onwards, the girl came to be known as ‘Vimal Kunda’, and anyone who bathes in her waters is said to receive seven times more pious merit than bathing in Tirtharaj Pushkara.
According to the Adi Varaha Purana, taking a bath in Vimal Kunda absolves one of all their sins. Additionally, departing from one’s body at Vimal Kunda leads one to the Supreme Lord’s divine abode.
Vimal Kunda was an incredibly captivating place where the locals were warm and welcoming, kindly offering to give us a tour. Adjacent to the Vimal Kunda is the temple of Vimala Devi. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had visited this place during His Vraja Mandala Parikrama. Additionally, there is a magnificent temple of Lord Chaitanya, Lord Nityananda, and Lord Jagannath located next to the Vimala Devi temple. The deities surrounding Vimal Kund are arranged in the following sequence: (1) Dauji, (2) Suryadev, (3) Nilakanthesvar Mahadev, (4) Govardhan Nath, (5) Madan Mohan and Kamyavan Bihari, (6) Vimala Bihari, (7) Vimal Devi, (8) Shri Murali Manohar, (9) Bhagavati Ganga, and (10) Gopalaji.
