Shriji Gwal Darshan information
3GWAL:
This is the third darshan when the Lord takes his cows to the field. During this darshan, Dhunni Dhoop is performed so no evil eye harms Shrinathji. Aarti with ‘Do Vaat Batti’ or two standing wicks is performed now. Milk, kheer, dhaiya, rabdi, and other milk products are offered to Shrinathji before he leaves to herd the cows of Nandaji. Shrinathji is worshipped by reciting His thousand names and the sacred tulsi (basil) leaves are offered with each name. The Mukhiyaji of the gaushala (a house for cows or a cowshed) comes to inform Shrinathji that all his cows are doing well. Neither flowers nor flute are shown since during this darshan Shrinathji plays with his cowherd friends. This jhanki symbolizes the time of day when Shri Krishna along with his cowherd friends, takes the cows for grazing to the green pastures of Vrindavan. Seva is performed with the bhava of Shri Dwarkanathji, and the kirtans and bhajans in this jhanki were composed by the poet, Shri Govindswamiji.
Note: Excerpt from ‘In Adoration of Krishna: Pichwais of Shrinathji – Tapi Collection’ by Kalyan Krishna and Kay Talwar.
