Tapovana Lakshmi Narayan Temple-Nashik

Sri Lakshmi Narayan Temple

It is located near the Swaminarayan bridge of Nashik in the area of Tapovana. Tapovana is a place of penance and meditation where great sages used to practice austerities. A pastime of primary significance associated with Dandakaranya is the story of the sages of Dandakaranya, who desired to experience the rasa of conjugal love with the Lord. In days gone by there were many sages in Dandakaranya. Dandakaranya is the name of the forest where Lord Ramachandra lived after being banished by His father for 14 years. At that time there were many advanced sages who were captivated by the beauty of Lord Ramachandra and who desired to become women in order to embrace the Lord. Later on, these sages appeared in Vrindavana when Krishna advented Himself there, and they were born as gopis, or girlfriends of Krishna. In this way they attained the perfection of spiritual life.
