Shri Mahaprabhuji’s Baithakji Temple

In today’s times while traveling many a miles to visit a Baithak, performing various duties (sevas) and understanding the importance of them in gathering top priority it is essential that we understand the significance of the same. Shri Mahaprabhuji graced this earth for 52 years during which thrice he toured India barefoot only to spread the principles of Pushtimarg. Conducting Shrimad Bhagwat seminars, debating with scholars and heads of other religions and establishing the ethics of “Shudhadwait Brahmawaad” was a herculean task that he undertook. If we have some prior knowledge regarding the Baithak that we are scheduled to visit, its brief history and its significance etc. it is certain that when we are performing our various tasks there will be a sense of belonging to that place, a sense of the heavenly environment existing at Shri Mahaprabhuji’s time and a divine aroma of Shri Mahaprabhuji’s presence will be felt.

Our eagerness to be at the service of The Lotus Feet of Shri Mahaprabhuji and our concentration towards him, his teachings, his morals is absolutely essential, let it be at the Baithakji or within our homes.

Shri Mahaprabhuji resides as our Acharyaji within a Baithakji. Therefore, the environment within should be of a complimentary one to his nature. Simple, quiet and serene. Evenly hand spread cow dung flooring and the seat where Shri Acharyaji used to be seated while conducting Srimad Bhagwat Sermons; exhales a sense of pure sanctity and purity. Of course due to maintenance problems, the cow dung floorings and seat have been replaced by white marble enabling the devotees to keep the place clean.
