The Baithakjis of Shri Vallabhkul are a salient feature of Pushtimarg; Spread across the whole of India in the most diverse of places and the most distinct of locations, they stand as proud landmarks of the journeys of Shri Vallabh, Shri Gusainji and subsequent Acharyas as they undertook limitless parishram to bring the lost jeevs back to the feet of Shri Thakurji. Some Baithaks are on river banks, some on kunds, in deserts & forests, on the hills and on islands – each and every one a reservoir of infinite spiritual energy; One that has to be experienced by oneself to understand.
It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words and a picture with some words – would only increase the measure. In 2006 and then again in 2007, Prabhu Kripa se we along with 250-300 vaishnavs undertook two yatras – one to the South and one North, to places such as Charnat, Naimisharanya, Adel then onto Rameshwar, Vishnukanchi etc. Here I am posting the pictures of some of them along with a short caption to highlight the significance of the divine places.

To stress the precise nature of Bhagvad seva, Shri Hariraiji Mahaprabhu has beautifully explained the bhav behind the forty one days of khel according to the principles of ‘Ras’. He begins by telling us that out of the forty days, the first ten are for the Udipan vibhav and the rest are for the Alamban vibhav. (I can just hear everybody saying, wow! That went clear over our heads.) So let us first tackle the theory part.
