Yamuna is the sacred river goddess, daughter of Surya and sister of Yama — and the river beside which Krishna spent his childhood in Vrindavan. Her waters witnessed his every play, dance and song.
"It was across the flooded Yamuna that the infant Krishna was carried to safety on a stormy night."
Gentle, devoted and life-giving, Yamuna represents love, devotion and quiet constancy. A daughter named Yamuna carries tenderness, depth and a soul that flows with grace.
