Sri Nathaji is a beautiful black marble Deity of Lord Krishna, standing with His left hand upraised lifting Govardhana Hill. His right hand, closed in a fist, rests on His hip. The original Deity of Sri Nathaji is located in Nathdwar, 48 km northeast of Udaipur, in Rajasthan. The temple of Sri Nathaji is said to be the second richest in India, after the Balaji Temple in Tirupati. Every day Sri Nathaji is offered large quantities of opulent foodstuffs. He is a very popular Deity in Rajasthan and Gujarat. His picture can be seen throughout these two states. The servitors of Sri Nathaji say that the Deity is the original form of Sri Krishna. Since this form of Lord Krishna includes all others, His devotees see Him both as Sri Radhanath (the Lord of Radha) and as child Krishna. The Deity appears in large black stone, from which His form emerges in bas-relief. The stone around the Deity bears several marks: two cows, a snake, a lion, two peacocks, a parrot by the Lord's head, two sages seated on His right side and a third on His left, and then below the sages is another snake. Around the Lord's neck is a flower garland, resembling a black snake. This Deity is said to have been originally installed by Vajranabha, the great-grandson of Lord Krishna, 5,000 years ago. Over 500 years ago the Deity was found by Madhavendra Puri in some bushes next to Govardhana Hill in Vrindavana. Madhavendra Puri then established the worship of Sri Gopala in a temple on Govardhana Hill. Madhavendra Puri handed the service of the Deity to the son of Vallabhacarya named Vitthala. Sri Nathaji was brought to Nathdwar by Rana Raj Singh of Mewar in the 17th century. The Deity was brought to Rajasthan to protect Him from the destructive reign of the Muslim ruler Aurangzeb, who terrorized the Vrindavana area in 1665. Additional Information Published by Mandala.
