Jai shree krishna

I have two questions and would like to know the reasons for it

1) Vaishnavs can not do shree Govardhanathji's Seva (Shyam Swaroop Sewa) at their home, It can only be done at Haveli's

2) Vaishnavs cant do seva of Balkrishna (one of the nidhi swaroops) which is bigger then the fist? Which means cant do seva of a Big Swaroop?

Can someone please explain the reasons as to why?

Thank you

Jay

There are no such rules as seva of Shyam swaroopa of Shree Govardhannathji or of  Balswaroopa bigger than the fist cannot be done at Vaishnavs house.

In fact there is no difference between the seva prakar at a Haveli and that of a Vaishnavs home, accpeting certain aagyaas that are not given to Vaishnavs. As far as swaroops are concerned such a distinguishing factor does not exist.

We should remember that all the swaroops, accepting that of Shree Vithalnathji of dvitiya ghar and Shree Gokulnathji of Chathoorth peeth, and a few more, all the other swaroops seva has been performed by Vaishnavs only, and later many of these swaroops were returned to their Gurudwar as per the agyan of Shree Mahaprabhuji, Shree Gusainji and the Saptacharyas.

Shree Vallabha dheesh ki jai

Thank you Shreekant bhai

But from what i have heard........I dont think any vaishnavs performed the seva of shree govardhanathji , even the nidhi swaroop of shree govardhanathji the seva prakar was done by shree vallabh and and vallabh kul

Then Again you mentioned vaishnavs perfoming seva's that is true, But the nidhi swaroop of shree balkrishna it self is chotu swaroop size of fist, and not big.

Sorry i am askign this question cause it was raised by a vaishnav and answered by vallabh kul, So i just wanted to know what was the reason to it

Thank you

Jai Shree Krishna

Jay Bhattji, If  your refering to the Prakatya swaroop of Shree Govardhannathji, previously at Jatipura and now Biraajmaan at Nathadwara - Here in also the seva prakaar was set by Shree Mahaprabhuji, but initially the seva was being done only by the Bengalis, who were later removed by Shree Krishndas Adhikariji, and the vrajvasis were appointed.

There are many a homes were seva of Similar swaroopa, though smaller in size are Biraajmaan. In Chennai itself there exists Raaj seva of Shree Govardhannathji, in shyam swaroop, which is more than 350 years old, and the entire Ashtayam seva is performed.

Yes, very true that the nidhi swaroopa of Shree Balkrishna prabhu is small. One of the reasons why small swaroopas were prefereed and advised of during the times of Shree Mahaprabhuji, Shree Gusainji was the socio-political situation then - Muslim rule and domination across many parts of  India. A small swaroopa ensured that Shree Thakorji could be easily aken from one place to the other, without being noticed by the soldiers. In fact, during those days, it was common partice to place the swaroopa in a very small jhapi nad hide the same inside ones Head gear - The term Mathe biraaje has its emergence form such a practice.

Jai shree krishna
