SHRI MAHAPRABHUJI'S BAITHAK AT CHAMPARANYA CHHATTHI BAITHAK

After 28 years of severe penance, Madhavananda, a celibate, was granted a boon by the holy river Ganges that he would have the sight of Krishna's divine realm at Champaranya, where the Blessed Lord would take birth. Meanwhile, another renunciate Mukundadasa who lived in Pushkara (Rajasthan) was also granted a similar boon and was asked to proceed to Champaranya. They both reached there after the birth of Shri Vallabha. They went and told Shri Lakshmana Bhattaji the purpose of their visit. When they saw the Divine Child they left their material bodies and entered the Eternal Abode.

In the meanwhile, peace was restored in Kashi. Knowing this, Shri Lakshmana Bhattaji and all others proceeded to the town of Choura where the king warmly greeted them and supplied them with horses and escorts for the trip back to Kashi where Shri Vallabha spent His childhood.
