Dhwajaji of Dwarkadhish

3

Appearance of Dhwajaji of Dwarkadhish is unique. It has got its own characteristic. This appearance classified into three kinds:

(1) Aadhi Bhoutik: Aadhi means place and Bhautik means Panch tatva woven cloth of dhwaja. 52 yards of cloth is being used for dhwaja and fifty-two nos. of small flags are being joined around border of fifty-two yards of dhwaja in which each yard ties in own independent existence & identity. Each yard indicates entrance of Dwarka of Krishna era and it also symbolizes flags on the residence of fifty-two officers of Dwarka.

All these fifty-two yards combine to single dhwaja. These yards also symbolize fifty entrances as well as Swarg Dwar & Moksha Dwar of Dwarkadhish palace. Thus dhwaja of Dwarkadhish is combining Aadhi Bhoutik swaroop of entrances & residence of yadav officers.

(2) Adhyatmik: Word dhwaja is quite auspicious & honorable word, which creates sense of respect in the mind of person who hears it. Other name of dhwaja is zanda (Flag), just as national flag is national symbol two which every Indian respects & consider his duty to respect & consider it’s disrespect as disrespect to nation, like wise due respect is given to Dhwajaji. People respect its Adhyatmik swarup, and bow to dhwaja as mark of devotion & respect.

(3) Aadhidaivik Swarup: Just as tricolor Ashoka Chakra national flag of India explain divine nature of flag like wise fifty-two yards. Dhwajaji of Dwarkadhish indicates its divine nature. But when it is tailored to dhwaja it incarnate divine nature and it becomes abode of Dwarkadhish swaroop till this divine in canted dhwaja is not hosted, god Dwarkadhish resides at the residence of its devotee and makes it’s residence & it is family members auspicious.

Shriji Rajbhog Darshan information

RAJBHOG:


The main darshan of the day is Rajbhog, and the most elaborate. Shrinathji is seen in his entire majestic splendor. Before the darshans open, one hears the call of the sevak to fetch Shrinathji’s mala quickly. This is done because when Shrinathji lived in Govardhan, his garden was at a distance and the pujari had to call out loudly for his mala. As a routine, this is the signal for the darshans to open. After the call for Shrinathji’s mala, Shivji (Shiva) is called for taking Shrinathji’s darshans. It is believed that Shivji is seated on the round semicircle in the Dolti Bari or darshan gallery, doing Shrinathji’s darshans. That is why no one should step on the circle during these darshans. This darshan is open for a longer time than the others.
