Know everything about Shreenathji:

Our Main Deity (eastdev) pragatiya (appeared) was in Samvant 1535 On Mount Goverdhan. The legend suggest that a Vrajvasi used to take cows on top of the mountain for grazing, observed one of the cow separated from the herd and went straight to mountain plateau, where there was a Shiela (rock). This shiela laid on top of the Kandra (cave). Although, the shiela blocked the entrance, there was a hole in it and the cow stood on top of it and secreted milk which flowed into the hole to the cave passage. A deity, who was residing in Kandra, drank the milk through the hole.

The Vrajvasi, then spread the news of this amazing event and experienced Villagers moved the shiela and Shree Nathji was revealed.

Shree Mahaprabhuji on his spiritual travel, arrived at Mount Goverdhan in 1549, and this meeting is now know as "Pratham Milan" (The first encounter) between Shree Nathji and Shree Vallabh. Shree Mahaprabhuji then ordered Purna Malla to build a temple on the mountain. He also asked Ramdasji to worship Shree Nathji in this temple.

After many years, during Aurangzeb era, the temple was raided and the dooms day was declared. Shree Nathji travelled by Ratha (chariot) to Mevad Rajeshsthan. Before reaching Mevad, Shree Nathji stayed in a village with Ajab Kunwarbai. The association lasted two years, five months and seven days, and on Samvant 1728 (Kartik Sood 15th) Shree Nathji finally arrived in Mevad. In Rajeshsthan, Shreenathdwara, Shree Nathji stayed till Samvant 1858 and Honkar exodus was the reason to move to Ghanshyaad. It was in 1864, Shree Nathji moved back to Shreenathdwara. It was Maha Vad Satam (7th day), and a paat utsav was celebrated on His return. Shree Nathji, since then has stayed in Shreenathdwara and have graced millions of worshipper (Bhavik janos) with His darshan.

Shree Mahaprabhuji:

Shree Vallabhacharya

Shree Vallabhacharya, the essence of the bliss, and pure divine essence of Hundred Soma Yagna, sacrifices performed by Shree Vallabhacharya's forefathers. Shree Yagnanarayan Bhatt started the Soma Yagna. In his life time he completed 32 Soma-sacrifices and so on the day he completed the 32nd Soma Yagna, God told him in vision that when such 100 soma sacrifices will be performed and completed through your heritages, I shall come to your family as an essence and fruit of Soma Yagna Sacrifices.

And the heritance lineage continued to perform Soma Yagna and 95 Yagna were completed. Laxman Bhatt then continue the performance of Soma Yagna and did the last five Soma Yagna which completed the 100 Yagna required by the God. The day when one-hundredth Yagna was completed, that night, Laxman Bhatt got Vision and heard the God saying to present himself as a Sublime essence and fruit of Soma Yagna Sacrifices.

After that cuddle, we should also think about food. No meal is complete without dessert. An elegant dessert rounds off the success of a dinner party. Whether it's special family dinner, birthday, a festive occasion, Utsava or just to pamper your loved ones.
Today, buying a dessert is expensive and to get a vegetarian dessert is almost impossible. Keeping that in mind, we think one should keep, or buy a book which gives you wide selection of mouth watering desserts which are not only egg less but also gelatine free. Ahem...! well sorry got carried away. Back to our 84 vaishnavs. Do you know that there are at least seven stories in which we see these ardent vaishnavs have upset Shree Mahaprabhuji.
