Relevance in history.
Following the "Upadesamrta" ("Nectar of Instruction") by early 16th-century saint Rupa Goswami of Vrindavan, a close associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, many Vaishnavas consider Radha Kund to be the supreme of all holy places.
Legend has it that when Lord Krishna slew a mighty asura (demon) in the form of a bull, his consort Radha tersely told Krishna to wash off his sins by taking dips in various holy rivers. Krishna laughed it off and struck the ground with his foot whereupon the mighty rivers emerged, welled up and formed a "kunda" (temple tank). Subsequently, the Lord bathed in the water to please Radha. The kunda
 came to be called "Shyam-Kund".
Indignant that Krishna used his powers for this, Radha and her girl attendants dug out another kunda nearby with their bangles. However, as the water did not raise up in the Kund, it had to be filled with water from "Manasi-Ganga", another holy kunda at Govardhan which was a little far off. Taking piety on Radha and other Gopis, with their permission, and Krishna's divine grace, sacred waters from Shyam Kund broke its banks close to midnight on the eighth day of the waning moon in Kartik (Damodar, October–November) and started filling the Radhakund. Krishna then took bath in Radhakund and announced that to whoever takes bath in Radhakund on this day of the year or any day in the future, the seed of intense love (Prema-Bhakti) which Radharani has for Him would be given. Similarly, Radharani took bath in Syamakund and announced that to anyone who takes bath in Syamakund, She would also give the seed of love that Krishna has for Her. To this day, millions of pilgrims desiring love for Radha-Krishna come to this holy spot on the occasion of Ardha-Ratri-Snan (Midnight bath) to take bath in a reverential mood, bathing first in Radha-Kund, then in Shyam-kund, and then again in Radha-kund. This is the only place of pilgrimage where an auspicious bath is taken at midnight.
