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.

JSK to all Vaishnavas,

We received very good article on “Play Holi with Shrinathji“ and how people celebrate the Holi in Nathdwara from Riddhi Agrawal. She is from Rajasthan and currently living in Visakhapatnam and doing CA. She is devotee of Lord Krishna.

Detailed Holi Article Link from Abha Shahra: http://www.shreenathjibhakti.org/playing_holi.htm

Beautiful Holi celebration description in her words:

|| Shri Krishna Sharnam Mamah: ||

In Nathdwara, shreenath ji plays holi the entire month . This is the month of Falgun.

It is in the Rajbhog Darshan That Shri Ji Plays Holi.

Abir and Gulaal are the colors played with Shreenath ji and then as a Prasad with the devotees. Shreeji baba is in full white Paushaak in the entire month of Holi and the Mukhiyajis are the lucky ones who get to touch Shreeji Baba. He with his “Surya” finger first touches Shreeji Baba with “kesuda” water , slowly & gently, and his Bhao can be seen & felt- first on the forehead- Anja (forehead) chakra – then Anahita (heart) chakra- then all over on the “ pichvai” also. All though the tenderness with which he touches Shreeji baba is visible, trying best not to cause any disturbance to the high powers there.

Then colors are sprinkled on the “Vaishnavs & Bhakts” as “Prasad” from Shreeji Baba. The mukhiyajis carry divine vibrations from the touch of Shreeji Baba and sprinkles them on all devotees who are lucky to be present there for the darshans.

It is a very transcenadental moment when the colors cover the devotees with the touch of Shreeji.

This entire darshan takes nearly 30 minutes. One should not run away thinking about the clothes, in fact this drenching with colors in Shreeji`s court, within His purest vibrations is one of the easiest way to enter higher purity. Shreeji himself plays colours for the entire month, so that all the bhakts can avail of His purifying Blessings. We do not shake off the sacred colours, it is collected in a packet to be distributed as Shreeji`s Blessings to Family.

After this is the Aarti.

Holi Khelanga Aapa Girdhar Gopal Se !!

Jai Shri Krishna
