Shri Vitthalnathji’s fifth son, Shri Raghunathji, was born in 1554 AD in Adel. When Shri Raghunathji was just five years old, while Shri Gusainji was absorbed in Shri Nathji’s seva he asked his young son in Sanskrit for the jewellery box. At first, Shri Raghunathji did not understand his father’s words, but then with the grace of Shri Mahaprabhuji, he finally understood what his father wanted and brought him the jewellery box. Form that day on, Shri Vitthalnathji decided that in seva, they would speak the local tongue of Braja Bhasa, Shri Krishna’s language instead of Sanskrit. Shri Raghunathji married Shri Janaki in Gokul when he was fifteen and had five sons and one daughter. He was given Shri Gokul Chandramji for his personal worship.
In the morning, he would only open his eyes when he could see his father’s face. While he was going into his father’s rooms with eyes closed one morning, he bumped into something and hurt jimself. Shri Gusainji then painted for him a self-portrait so that he could easily see his face when he got up every morning. |
