His line

His line today

Narayan Bhatt Ji’s descendants still live at the Brajacharya Peeth in Unchagaon, and his line is bound up with the seva of Shriji’s temple at Barsana.

  • Kanthi diksha

    The Bhatts of Unchagaon are regarded as the gurus of Shriji’s sevayat Goswamis. The Goswamis take kanthi diksha from this line, and only then serve in the temple.

  • The first Radhashtami rites
