List of Bethakji of Shree Mahaprabhuji and Charitra

Shri Valalbhacharya Mahaprabhuji's Baithak is located at Vyas Ghat, on Vyas Ganga River, on a way between Rushikesh and Kedarnatha. Lord Vedvyas was born here.

During the Bhagavat discourses here, a young beautiful, divinely ornamented woman arrived and fanned Shri Mahaprabhuji during the whole discourse. Dressed in an attractive Saree, she would come and stand by Shri Mahaprabhuji's left side daily. After the discourse was completed, she disappeared!

Shri Krishnadas Meghan asked the identity of this woman. Shri Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji revealed that the divine Goddess form of the Ganga River.

The Baithakji here is un-manifested now.

Shri Valalbhacharyaji's Baithak is located on the summit of Mudrachal (Mandarachal) Mountain, under a tree.

During the fight between Devas and Danavas, there was a churning of the sea (Kshir Sagar) to get the nectar. This Mountain was used as a churning rod.

There is a temple here of Lord Mudrachal in the form of Shri Madhusudanji. Lord Madhusudanji daily came to listen to Shri Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji's discourses on Shrimad Bhagavat.  After the discourses were completed, Shri Mahaprabhuji went to the temple of Lord Madhusudan and made ornaments for Him.

It was here that Shri Mahaprabhuji had a divine revelation from Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna told Shri Mahaprabhuji that he had appeared on the Goverdhan (Giriraj) Hills and that he should quickly come to the sacred area of Vraj and establish His worship.

Adel is situated at the confluence of three sacred Rivers, Yamunaji, Gangaji, and Saraswatiji (hidden) near Allahabad in North India (UP). The Baithakji is located neat the village of Devrakh.

After completing three pilgrimages of India, Shri Mahaprabhuji decided to settle in Adel with his family.  Shri Mahaprabhuji's first son Shri Gopinathaji was born here.

Shri Mahaprabhuji's mother Illamagaru wanted to perform the divine services (Seva) to Lord. She was not initiated  (No Brahmsambandh) and hence could not perform the Seva. According to Hindu scriptures Shri Mahaprabhuji cannot initiate his own mother. She was devoid of Seva.

Knowing this, once when Shri Mahaprabhuji had a religious discussion with Mayavadis, Lord Navnitpriyaji Himself initiated Shri Mahaprabhuji's mother. She gifted Him with her necklace. Now she was qualified to perform the divine services to Lord. Shri Mahaprabhuji was very delighted to know that Lord Himself has initiated his mother.

Shri Vallabhachrya Mahaprabhuji's Baithak is located near the town of Chunar, in the vicinity of Mount Charnadri.

A Brahmin hermit living in a nearby village recited Shri Vishnu Sahsra Naam- the thousand names of Lord Vishnu, daily. Once he found Lord Krishna deity from Ganga River. Because of his renounced lifestyle, he couldn't serve the Lord properly. Lord decided to stay with him for a month and then leave Brahmin's place.

After a month, deity told the Brahmin to take Him to Mahaprabhu Shri Vallabhacharyaji in the nearby town of Charnat. The Brahmin arrived at Shri Mahaprabhuji's residence, humbly bowed to him and said, This deity has informed me to bring Him to you.  Shri Mahaprabhuji gladly accepted Lord Krishna's deity.

The following day (Vikram year 1572, Magshar Vad 9) in late December 1519, Shri Mahaprabhuji's second son Shri Vitthalnathaji was born here. Shri Vitthalnathaji was also known as Shri Gusainji.

Shri Mahaprabhuji's Baithak is located in the town of Dabha near Jambusar in Gujarat. The Baithakji here was manifested by itself. 

A Muslim farmer experienced the presence of a divine man with white dresses, having a Mala in His hand, in his farm. At night times he could hear the music also! He talked to few people in his town about all these happenings. They showed him pictures of some Hindu deity and holy men, but none resembled the person he had seen in his farm. Once he saw the picture of Shri Mahaprabhuji in someone's shop and realized that this was the same person he saw many times at night in his farm. He talked to the Vaishnav leaders of this town.

They all approached Shri Mathureshwarji mahodaya and Shri Indirabetiji and requested them to visit this place. A Zariji (Earthern pot) was found from this farm.
After confirming the existence of the Baithakji, based on Pushti literature, a Baithakji was installed. Currently Anugrah Cheritable Trust runs the Baithakji under the guidance of H.H. Pujyapad Goswami Shri Indira Betiji. Various humanitarian activities are conducted at this location.
