ब्रज-चौरासी कोस

सम्पूर्ण ब्रज-मण्डल का हर - कण, हर - वृक्ष, हर - स्थल, पावन - कुण्ड और श्री यमुनाजी श्रीप्रिया-प्रियतम की नित्य निकुंज लीलाओं के साक्षी हैं। श्री कृष्ण जी ने अपने ब्रह्मत्व का त्याग कर सभी ग्वाल बालों और ब्रज गोपियों के साथ अनेक लीलाएँ की हैं। यहाँ उन्होने अपना बचपन बिताया। जिसमें उन्होने ग्वाल बालों के साथ क्रीड़ा, गौ चारण, माखन चोरी, कालिया दमन आदि अनेक लीलाएँ की हैं। भगवान कृष्ण की इन लीलाओं पर ही ब्रज के नगर, गाँव, कुण्ड, घाट आदि स्थलों का नामकरण हुआ है। एक बार नन्दबाबा और यशोदा मैया ने सभी तीर्थ स्थलों के दर्शन-यात्रा पर जाने की इच्छा प्रकट की। तो श्री कृष्ण जी ने उनसे कहा, "मैया, मैं सारे तीर्थों को ब्रज में ही बुला लेता हूँ। तुम ब्रज में ही सभी तीर्थ-स्थलों की दर्शन-यात्रा कर लेना। अतः समस्त तीर्थ ठाकुर जी की आज्ञानुसार ब्रज में निवास करने लगे। ब्रज चौरासी कोस दर्शन यात्रा करने से सभी तीर्थ स्थलों जैसे बद्रीनाथ, जगन्नाथ धाम, मानसरोवर आदि के दर्शन का पुण्य-लाभ मिल जाता है।

ब्रज-यात्रा का महत्व

ब्रज चौरासी कोस की परिकम्मा एक देत ।
लख चौरासी योनि के संकट हरिहर लेत ॥

श्री ब्रजमण्डल श्री राधाकृष्ण की नित्य लीला भूमि है। सम्पूर्ण ब्रजमण्डल 84 कोस (लगभग 252 कि.मी.) के अन्तर्गत आता है। ब्रजमण्डल के सभी दर्शनीय स्थल श्री श्यामा-श्याम की किसी न किसी लीला के कारण महत्वपूर्ण हैं।यहाँ के खग-मृग, पशु, लता, वृक्ष, कुण्ड, पर्वत, यमुनाजी आदि सभी परम दिव्य एवं चिन्मय हैं। बृज की ऐसी विलक्षण महिमा है कि स्वयं मुक्ति भी इसकी आकांक्षा करती है -


मुक्ति कहै गोपाल सौ मेरि मुक्ति बताय।
ब्रज रज उड़ि मस्तक लगै मुक्ति मुक्त हो जाय॥


ऐसा माना गया है कि ब्रज-धाम की परिक्रमा-यात्रा सर्वप्रथम चतुर्मुख ब्रह्मा जी ने की थी। वत्स हरण के पश्‍चात् उनके अपराध की शान्ति के लिये स्वयं श्रीकृष्ण ने उन्हें ब्रज चौरासी कोस की परिक्रमा करने का आदेश दिया था। तभी से ब्रज यात्रा का सूत्रपात हुआ, जिसे आज भी लाखों भक्त प्रतिवर्ष करते हैं। ब्रज चौरासी कोस की यात्रा करने से मनुष्य को चौरासी लाख योनियों से छुटकारा मिल जाता है।

BANKE BIHARI TEMPLE

Haridas Swami of the Nimbarka sampradaya, a contemporary of the six Gosvamis, established this temple. He discovered the Banke Bihari Deity at Nidhivana, sometime in the 16th century. Banke Bihari was originally worshiped at Nidhivana.

Banke means “bent in three places” and bihari means “supreme enjoyer.” Haridas Swami originally worshipped this Deity under the name of Kunji-bihari. This is a very rich temple.

Banke Bihari was moved here when this temple was constructed in 1864 (some say 1874). Originally Banke Bihariji was worshiped alone. Later a small Deity of Radharani was added.
This is the most popular temple in Vrindavana, especially in the month of Sravana (July-August), during Jhulan Yatra, the swing festival of Lord Krishna. There are a number of silver-plated and some solid silver ornamented swings, which are shown at this time. The main day of Jhulan Yatra is the third day of the waxing moon, at which time Banke Bihari is placed on a golden swing (hindola).

The curtain before the Deities is not left open like at other temples. Every few minutes the curtain is pulled shut and then opened again. It is said that the brilliant eyes of Banke Bihari will make you unconscious if seen for to long a stretch. It is said that Banke Bihari does not like the sound of bells or conch; therefore they are not sounded in this temple.

The Deities do not get up until 9 am, because it is believed that Banke Bihari has been up until late at night sporting. Mangala-arati is only one day a year in this temple, on Janmasthami. Only one day a year can the lotus feet of the Deity be seen, on Akshaya Tritiya (Chandan Darshan or Dolotsav), on the third day of the bright half of the month of Vaishaka (April-May).
The autumn full moon day is the only day that the Deity holds a flute, and also on this day He wears a special mukut (crown).
Banke Bihari comes off his altar and can be seen in full view on the last five days of the month of Phalguna, during the Holi festival. He can be seen with four gopis, who are seen just at this time.

How To Get Here:
Everyone in town knows where this temple is located. This temple is located about a 100m down a side street, just off Banke Bihari Bazaar. Banke Bihari Bazaar is between Loi Bazaar and the Krishna Balarama Mandir.

Temple Timings Summer: Darshan is 9 am to 12 noon and 6 to 10 pm. Winter: Darshan is 10 am to 12.30 pm and 6 to 9 pm.

Teri Bansi Pe...........!!!!!

Yet another superhit song "Tere Bansi Pe Jao........."" by Guru Ji. This song is very popular very melodious.

When you hear this song ,it feel you are in Vrindavan. And when you draw closer to Vrindavan, you can feel some kind of change in the environment (Fiza mein badlav aa jaata hai), I read somewhere – “as you cross the Mexican border from Texas, you feel some load off your shoulders”.

Vrindavan Dham .............!!!!!

Vrindavan and Mathura,are 135km south of Delhi, are the most important places of pilgrimage for devotees of Krishna. Krishna was born in Mathura and spent His childhood in Vrindavana. There are over 5,000 temples in Vrindavana.

As you draw closer to Vrindavan, you can feel some kind of change in the environment (Fiza mein badlav aa jaata hai), especially close to the highway where we take a detour for Vrindavan (I read somewhere – “as you cross the Mexican border from Texas, you feel some load off your shoulders”).

The hawkers and fruit sellers, the rickshaw pullers, asking for a side were chanting “Jai Shri Radhe” or “Hare Krishna” taking us to a different world – a world where Lord Krishna spent his formative years.

As Guruji said " Aee Duniya walo Vridavan jana tumare Aukat nahi.............Aee Duniya walo Vridavan jana tumare Aukat nahi.............Lekin meri radha rani bula le to koi badi bat nahi."

So my friends its very nice place, I am giving you some highlights of the Vrindavana.

Vrindavana Highlights:

Yamuna River:

The Yamuna river flows through Vrindavan and Mathura. It is the most sacred river in India as it is so intimately connected with Krishna’s pastimes. Situated on the bank of the Yamuna is the Keshi Ghat, where Krishna killed the Keshi demon and saved his friends. One who bathes here gets the benediction of bathing in all of the holy places.

Krishna Balarama Mandir:

One of ISKCON’s major centres is the Krishna Balarama Mandir. This beautiful marble temple was constructed twenty years ago. There are Deities of Gaura-Nitai, Krishna Balarama and Radha-Syamasundara. In front of the temple is the Samadhi Mandir of Srila Prabhupada. This is where his body was laid to rest after he passed away in 1977. His house has been turned into a museum. There is also a guesthouse, restaurant, gurukula and goshalla.

Sri Sri Radha Govindaji Mandir:

Built in 1590 by Maharaja Man Singh for the original Govindaji deity discovered by Srila Rupa Goswami. Govindaji was removed from this temple and reinstalled in Jaipur when the Muslim Emperor Aurangzeb destroyed part of the temple in 1670. Several other Deities are also installed here. As this temple was partially destroyed ,worship is now carried in the new Govindaji Mandir ( located behind the original temple).

Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan Mandir:

Sanatana Goswami discovered the Deity of Madan Mohan. Ram das Kapoor, a merchant donated the funds for this mandir in 1580. When the Muslims attacked in 1670, the original Deities were moved to Karoli. Worship is done in the new Madan Mohan Mandir to the replacement Madan Mohan Deity.

The bhajan kutir and samadhi of Sanatana Goswami, together with the puspa-samadhis of Candrasekhara Acharya and Tapana Misra are also here.

Sri Sri Radha Raman Mandir:

The Deity of Sri Radha-Raman (one of the few original Deities still left in Vrindavana) was installed here by Srila Gopal Bhatta Dasa Goswami. The Deity manifested from one of the Goswami’s shaligram-shilas in 1542. Gopal Bhatta also brought Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s kaupina (cloth) and asana (seat ) back from Puri. These can be seen three to four times a year. Gopal Batta’s Samadhi is located here. The fires for cooking in the temple kitchen have been burning continuously since the Deity was installed over 435 years ago.

Sri Sri Radha Gokulananda Mandir:

Here are the the Radha-Vinod Deities of Lokanath Goswami, Radha-Gokulananda Deities of Viswanath Cakravarti, Caitanya Mahaprabhu Deity of Narottama Dasa Thakur, Vijaya Govinda Deities of Baladeva Vidyabhusana, and the Govardhan-shila given to Raghunath Dasa Goswami by Sri Caitanya.

Also, the samadhis of Srila Lokanath Goswami, Srila Narrottama Dasa Thakura, and Viswanath Cakravarti Thakura lie here.

Seva Kunja and Nidhu ban:

Seva Kunja and Nidhuban are gardens where Krishna performed many of His pastimes.
Seva Kunja surrounds the temple of Srimati Radharani . Here Krishna would massage Radharani’s feet and decorate her hair with flowers. Today this place is surrounded by temples. The Seva Kunja road leads to Srila Jiva Goswami’s Radha Damodar Temple, Srila Syamananda Goswami’s Radha Syamasundara temple, and Srila Krishna Dasa Kaviraj Goswami’s Radha-Vrindavana-Chandra Temple.

Banke Bihari Mandir:

Established in 1864 by Haridas Swami, this is one of the the most popular temples in Vrindavana, especially, during Jhulan Yatra, the swing festival.

Mero Mann Hai Gayo Lata Pata..........!!!

"Mero Mann Hai Gayo Lata Pata", this is song which you can't resist yourself from hearing. This one Of Most famous song sung usually by Shri Gaurav Goswami ji.
