\nExcept for Vrindadevi, Sri Radha-Raman is the only one of the original Deities of Vrindavana who never left to go to Jaipur. Sri Sri Radha-raman is still worshipped in the same place in Vrindavan where He manifested.
\nGopal Bhatta Goswami was the son of Vyenkatta Bhatta, a brahmana priest of Srirangam Temple in Tamil Nadu. His uncle Prabhodananda Sarasvati also became his spiritual master. In 1511 Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu visited Srirangam a danced in ecstasy before Lord Ranganath. The priest at Ranganath Temple Vyenkata Bhatta invited Lord Caitanya to stay at his house during Caturmasya. Gopal Bhatta was at that time small boy and got the chance to serve the Lord and hear directly from Him. After some time Lord Caitanya left on his tour to South India and told Gopal Bhatta to go in the future to Vrindavan.
\nGopal Bhatta became learned in Sanskrit, poetry, rhetoric and all aspects of devotional service. After passing of his parents, he left home and proceeded towards Vrindavan where he joined Rupa and Sanatan.
\nWhile studying in Vrindavan,Gopal Bhatta was feeling the separation of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu once in a dream on the Instruction of Mahaprabhu Gopal Bhatta made a trip to Nepal One day when he was taking bath in Kali-Gandakini river, he dipped his kamandalu into the water and 12 silas mysteriously entered his water pot, he put them back into the water and dipped the kamandalu again in the water of the holy river, but the silas again entered his water pot, when it happened for the third time Gopal Bhatta realized, that those are not ordinary stones, but they must be some very special ones and there must be some divine arrangement behind it. He kept them in a cloth bag hung around his neck and from that time on he started to worship them and returned to Vrindavan. Once he intensely desired to decorate his salagram, seat Him on a swing and serve Him as other devotees can. “If only He had arms and legs like a Deity,” he thought Lord Krisna, being very kind to His devotees, that very night transformed Himself from one of small salagram-sila into threefold form of Radharaman.
\n\u00a0If one has darsan of Radharaman’s back, one will see that it resemble salagram-sila. Although the Deity is quite small many devotees find Him to be extremely attractive.
\nRadharamana’s lotus face is like Sri Govindaji’s, His chest is like Sri Gopinath’s and His lotus feet are like Sri Madanmohanji’s. By taking darsan of Radharaman one receives the simultaneous darsan of these three Deities.
\nThe Deity of Sri Radharaman was manifested from one of Gopal Bhatta Goswami’s salagram-silas on the full moon day of Vaisakha (April\/May) in 1542.
\nThis event is celebrated every year (May) by bathing the Deity with 100 liters of milk and other auspicious items. Gopal Bhatta Goswami’s other salagram-silas are also worshiped on the altar. There is no Deity of Radharani with Radharaman, but gomati-cakra is worshipped on the altar to His left. According to an injunction of Sri Hari-bhakti-vilas, a gomati-cakra is to be worshipped along with a salagram-sila.
\nRadharaman is one of the few original Deities of the Goswamis still in Vrindavan. Other Deities went to Jaipur, but Radharaman never left Vrindavan. The fires for cooking in the temple kitchen have been burning continuously for over 435 years, since the Deity was installed. This is so no foreign elements, such as matches, are used for ignition purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![](\"http:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SS-2011-05-19_21.16.17.jpg\"\/)
