Appearance of Bihariji

Appearance of Bihariji

Every morning after bathing in Yamuna River, Swami ji used to go to Nidhivan to do his bhajan (prayer), post which he used to sit in a dense grove and meditate on his favoured, pure love personified Sri Kunjbihari and Sri Kunjbiharini. This was his daily routine.

Seeing their guru offering obesiences at one particular place only, all the disciples became very inquisitive, but none could gather courage and ask Swami ji the reason of his praying at one particular place only. 

When Sri Vithal Vipul Devji saw the desire of other disciples, he requested Swami ji to disclose the mystrey. Swami ji said, “Inside that cave is a divine palace on which Sri Kishore and Kishoriji are sitting on a beautiful flower bed and I am serving them along with other sakhis. That is why I offer my obesiences here everyday”.

Understanding the intense desires of all the students, Swamiji asked Sri Vithal Vipul Devji to enter the cave. As soon as he entered, he saw divine and enchanting palace with divine lights, where the divine couple was seated on a beautiful bed and were laughing and teasing each other. He also saw Swami ji there serving them and increasing their joy. 

Sri Vithal Vipul Devji paid his respects and was very happy to see his guruji over there. On being hinted by his guruji, he gave the nectar filled pot to Swami ji outside the cave and again came inside. When he came inside, he saw that the divine couple had become one in a deity form. He hugged the deity and came outside. Swami ji too hugged the deity and offered best quality food, clothes and jewellery after bathing it. The whole sky was filled with sounds of praises. It was a divine festival and everyone was in complete ecstacy. The deity epitomises pure love, youth, eternal nectar of loving devotion, so it was named BANKEBIHARI. 

Every day 12 gold coins used to appear at the lotus feet of Sri Bankebihari. Swami ji used to sell them, get ingredients and offer best quality food to Bihariji. After giving prasad to all the devotees he used to make three piles: 1.For animals like monkeys living on land, 2.For peacock, birds and all other flying animals, 3.For fishes, tortoise and other water animals. All these animals used to eat form their piles only. Such was the effect of Swamiji on them. Swamiji used to have only a handful of gram (chana) every morning. Later on being told and requested by Bihariji, he started having a roti which he used to make after getting alms from people of Rajpur at night after putting Bihariji to sleep. He also used to sing pads (a form of poetry) to Bihariji which he used to hear in meditation. Swamiji and Bihariji were and are one even today!

In praise of Swamiji...

Sri Haridas gaoon Sri Haridas gaoon,
Sri Haridas naam gun gayi vipul prem paoon.
Sri Haridas naam gun roop tan raoon,
Sri Haridas pranni ke pran hi jivaoon.
Sri Haridas lena Sri Haridas dena,
Sri Haridas bhjen bhaiya kachu bhay na.
Sri Haridas dhyoso Sri Haridas ratyo,
Sri Haridas vavhar Sri Haridas batyo.
Sri Haridas bal budhi kul jati pati,
Sri Haridas bhetat sheetal bhayi chati.
Sri Haridas ang bin sang taji santo,
Sri Haridas hilag bin het kari hanto.
Sri Haridas prem bin nem na suhato,
Sri Haridas het milat mahal ko nato.
Sri Haridas naam ruchi Sri Haridas naam suchi,
Sri Haridas naam liye jaye dukh dosh muchi.
Sri Haridas karme Sri Haridas dharme,
Sri Haridas naam bhedi le man marme.
Sri Haridas gyane Sri Haridas dhyane,
Sri Haridas naam kari koti asnane.
Sri Haridas naam mere mantra mala,
Sri Haridas naam mudra tilka bhala.
Sri Haridas seva Sri Haridas puja,
Sri Haridas bin bhaav nahin duja.
Sri Haridas bhakti rati Sri Haridas param gati,
Sri Haridas jas gavat bhayi sudradh mati.
Sri Haridas Brajriti Sri Haridas ras reeti,
Sri Haridas naam liye sakal sadhan jeeti.
Sri Haridas nij daras Sri Haridas ras paras,
Sri Haridas sukh det Sri Haridas hit het..
Ananya nrapati Sri Swami Haridas nij das,
Jai Srivar Biharinidas vilsat vilas.
