Sri Nimbarkacharya was the embodiment of mercy, piety, love,
kindness, liberality and other divine qualities. He did rigorous austerities at
Neemgram and had Darshan of Lord Krishna in that place. In that village only
Nimbarka had exhibited his miracle when Brahma came for Bhiksha as a Sannyasin.
Another holy place of the Nimbarka sect is Salembabad in Rajasthan. A big
Mahant lives here. There is a temple of Nimbarka here.
Brindavan, Nandgram, Barsana, Govardhan and Neemgram are the
chief Kshetras or holy lands of the followers of Nimbarkacharya. Parikrama of
the 168 miles of Brij Bhumi is their foremost duty. To pay visits on different
occasions to Sri Nimbarka’s temple in Neemgram, two miles from Govardhan, is
their Sampradayik duty.
The Nimbarka sect is found mostly in Brij Bhumi, viz.,
Brindavan, Nandigram, Barsana, Govardhan, etc. Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bharatpur,
Gwalior, Burdwan and Okara are its centres. The Nimbarka followers are also to
be found in Central India, Bihar, Orissa and West Bengal.
