Bihariji’s Appearance day coming up on 23rd November. One of the most packed days of the year of one of the most packed temples in the world is approaching. Thousands of pilgrims will flock to Vrindavan, hoping to get the special mercy of Bihariji on this special day. Bihariji management and local officials have considered many options improve crowd control, such as extending darshan timings and widening the roads leading to the temple, however, no simple solution has been found. Those who are determined to have Bihariji’s darshan, tolerate the delays as one of the austerities demanded of devotees in their quest for unity with the Supreme. Patience is necessary for those participating in this festival, as is prayer and caution. Every year, hundreds of thousands of devotees take the risk of being crushed to death in the crowds because they only care about seeing their beloved Bihariji. Read more (Hindi)

Patent application on Braj’s famous Kheer Mohan. Akhil Bharatiya Sarvasamaj Sangharsh Samiti has stated in a memorandum handed over to the District Magistrate Mathura, that Bengal and Orissa have filed a claim on our Kheer Mohan which is false and baseless.
