@Gauraonline , I noticed that whenever I encounter your name in any post, you always have something negative to say. Bees like nectar, while flies love garbage :) Help clean the Kund and maybe it will also clean your mind, heart and most of all your mouth! As I said , life is short bro, don't waste it. Chant and just be happy!!!
To all the people saying Radha Kund is totally pure and doesn't ever need to be cleaned, think about this:
What would happen if we adopted that same philosophy in relation to our temples, and stopped cleaning them, looking after them? It is an absurd notion. Mahaprabhu stressed Mandir Marjana; we sing about it every morning in the Samsara Deva prayers.
Kindly take your misplaced sentiment elsewhere. Your arguments have no philosophical backing.
The spot where we now find Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa was an agricultural field during the time of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. A small reservoir of water was there, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu bathed in that water and pointed out that originally Rādhā-kuṇḍa existed in that location. Following His directions, Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī renovated Rādhā-kuṇḍa.
Devotion also needs common sense. Anyone with common sense can see what seva the devotees are doing here. No need to find fault or show who has better philosophical arguments. In this age of quarrel, chaos and confusion, may we just be absorbed in chanting the Holy Names and serving Hari, Guru and Vaishnavas. Haribol!
I had no idea that people came to Radha kund to leave all kinds of trash. That's the furthest thing from my mind as to what to bring to or leave at Radha Kund. I know my freind Bhaktissidhanta Swami scrybs the stairs and I could relate to that, but no idea that the kund itself was full of "trash" as you say. You contradictict yourself becaues you say that we should see it as an opportunity to keep RK neat and clean, and then say I should not imply that it has become dirty.
Just like the temple. it is a very sacred place but it doesn't mean we will not take the time to wash and maintain and decorate it nicely.
Similarly, we should learn from the Vrajvasis' love and affection and how it goes beyond awe and veneration. Mother Yasoda will think Krsna has become dirty and therefore will give Him a bath. But Vaikunthavasis or Jnana-bhaktas, those with much awe and reverence can never feel like this. They would ask why God needs a bath? He is always pure.
Wonderful point with the Brajbasis. It's very true - so many of us have only the Vaikuntha conception of Krsna, it is difficult to understand the Brajbasi mood. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Indeed it is most sacred and pure. But on the practical level, it doesn't mean we will not maintain the place. Daily, thousands of people, pilgrims, devotees and karmis come here and leave all sorts of things and trash.
So when we see devotees cleaning, it is because they feel it is a service opportunity to maintain and keep the place neat and clean . We should see this as an act of service and love not as a way to imply that this sacred place has become dirty or is dirty.

Why does Radha Kund needto be cleaned ? it is the most sacred of kunds so what is it that makes it dirty ?
