Mere Bankey Bihari

Bankey Bihari Mandir is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, in the holy city of Vrindavan in the Mathura district. Bankey Bihari was originally worshiped at Nidhivana. Bankey means “bent in three places” and bihari means “supreme enjoyer.” The image of Lord Krishna stands in the Tribhanga posture. Haridas Swami originally worshipped this devotional image under the name of Kunj-bihari (“Enjoyer of Lakes”).

‘Bankey’ means ‘bent’, and ‘Bihari’ or ‘Vihari’ means ‘enjoyer’. This is how Krishna, who is bent in three places, got the name “Bankey Bihari”. According to Sri Brahmasamhita (verse 5.31), Brahma says the following about Krishna:

Bankey Bihari ji ka Shringar

Bankey Bihari ji ke Shringar ka Adhbhut Darshan Avem Utsav Anand

बाँके बिहारी जी के शृंगार अद्भुत दर्शन एवं उत्सव आनंद

Gau Sewa

In India serving cows is not only a religious practice but also has a cultural and scientific significance. According to Sanatan belief, 33 koti (type) deities reside in the Gaumata.
Cow dung that is Gobar is used in many ways across India. Besides, this cow’s urine popularly known as Gaumutra, also has its own religious and scientific importance. Gaumutra and Gobar protect against various infections, bacteria, and viruses.
Also, consuming cow’s milk increases the sattvic qualities. We also use other products obtained from cows like buttermilk, curd, ghee, and butter in some form or the other every day.
According to Ayurveda, many types of medicines can be prepared using these products.

‘Our entire life depends on the grace of Gaumata.’
