Banke Bihari Temple
Banke Bihari Temple: There are many temples of Lord Krishna across the country, but among these temples, Banke Bihari Temple has special recognition and popularity. There are many beliefs about the Banke Bihari Temple located in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh, due to which the fame of this temple is different. Banke Bihari Temple is full of many miracles and perhaps that is why people from India and abroad come to visit here. The idol of Lord Krishna present in the Banke Bihari temple is considered extremely miraculous. Let us know some interesting things related to Banke Bihari Temple.
The idol of Banke Bihari ji present in the Banke Bihari temple is a form of Lord Krishna. According to religious beliefs, this idol was revealed by Swami Haridas and is considered to be a single manifestation of male and female powers. A special thing about this idol is its Tribhanga posture, in which one leg of Krishna rests on the other and he does not have a flute in his hand.
Divine idol of Banke Bihari
The idol of Banke Bihari Temple contains the combined form of Shri Krishna and Radha, which is considered very divine. It is said that after giving darshan to Swami Haridas in the 18th century, Shri Krishna and Radha merged into one idol and gave him darshan. This idol standing in Tribhanga posture is a mystery in itself, because it depicts the earthly form of God.
secret of the curtain
In the Banke Bihari temple, the idol of Bihari ji is covered with a curtain again and again. According to religious beliefs, if the eyes of the devotees continuously fall on God, they will fall under his spell and get lost in his world. For this reason, the curtain of Banke Bihari ji is opened and closed again and again. This practice is centuries old and its purpose is to limit the darshan of God to a limited period of time.
Transfer from Nidhivan
Banke Bihari Ji idol was earlier worshiped in Nidhivan. Then in the 19th century, the idol was shifted to the present location after a dispute between the followers of Swami Haridas and Goswami. The new temple of Banke Bihari ji was built with the efforts of Goswami.
mystery treasure
The treasury of Banke Bihari temple was closed for the last 54 years. Recently, after 54 years, the treasure boxes of Banke Bihari Temple were opened, in which instead of gems and jewellery, some boxes, utensils and brass utensils were found. Apart from this, two snakes and secret stairs were also found in this treasure, which further increased the curiosity of the people.
bell in banke bihari
There is not a single bell in the Banke Bihari temple and the reason for this is the childlike form of the idol of Shri Krishna. Actually, in this temple Lord Krishna is in the form of a child and he can get startled or disturbed by the loud sound of the bells, just like a child gets scared by a loud sound. Devotees believe that this may disturb Laddu Gopal’s sleep, hence there is no bell in the temple to save him from trouble.
Banke Bihari’s Flute
There is no flute visible in the hands of the idol of Shri Krishna in Banke Bihari temple. In such a situation, a question arises in the minds of the devotees that when Lord Krishna always carries a flute, then why there is no flute in this idol. It is believed that Banke Bihari’s hands are soft and there is a fear of injury if a flute is given to his hand. That is why Banke Bihari does not have a flute in his hand.
