Govind Dev Ji Temple Daily Darshan 5.79

According to the legend, the Image of Lord
Govind Dev ji was also called "Bajrakrit"-
indicating thereby that it was created by
Bajranabh – The Great Grand Son of Lord
Krishna. Some 5,000 years back when Shri
Bajranabh was around 13 years old, he asked
his Grand Mother (daughter-in-law of Lord
Krishna) as to how Lord Shri Krishna looked
like; Then He made an image as per the
description given by her. She however, said
that not all but the feet of that image looked
like those of Lord Shri Krishna. He made
another image, yet she said that the Chest
looked like that of Lord Shri Krishna.
Thereafter, He made the Third Image and
looking at the same she veiled her face as a
show of modesty, and remarked that the image
was an exact likeness of Krishna.
The first one came to be known as "Madan
Mohanji". The second one was called as Lord
"GOPI NATHJI" and the Third One, the likeness
of Krishna is LORD "GOVIND DEV JI". With
passing of ages the glories of the Indian
Culture were being forgotten and the sands of
time kept piling up. Together with every other
thing these pious divine images were also lost
from the memories of people. Some 500 years
ago, legend has it that Sri Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu asked one of his disciples to
excavate the idol of Govinda, which had been
buried there to protect it from the Mughal
marauders.
For Vaishnavites, particularly followers of
Lord Krishna, this is one of the most
important temples outside Vrindavan.
'Aartis' and 'Bhog' are offered seven times a
day, when the deity is unveiled for 'Darshan'.
Thousands of devotees visit the temple daily
and an even larger number visit during
