STOMACH PAIN TO JAHANGIR

During this time the emperor was coming to Agra from Kashmir on his way he had a sudden stomach trouble. The pain was severe and unbearable. He sent gold coins to Agra to be distributed among the poor and the Brahmins. Chidrup sanyasi took all the gold coins and gave some of them for distribution among Brahmins and the poor. Noorjahan came to know about this, she narrated the whole affair to the emperor. The emperor Jahangir called saints and Hakims for medicine but the emperor disease could not be cured. A saint told him that he had attended a religious preacher. You will recover only if he forgives you.

Gradually chidrup's conspiracy was disclosed before him. He began to wonder that chidrup a sanyasi (Saint) took away the gold coins, which are meant to be distributed among the Brahmins and poor people. Whereas Shri Gokuleshji had shown his readiness to denounce his entire wealth and prosperity of Gokul to abandon his home and even sacrifice his life for the sake of mala of no value. He decided that he was a true religious preacher and a spiritual teacher free from desires like Shri Gokuleshji God will forgive me only if he forgives me. The emperor then sent his messenger to hand over his letter to Shri Gokuleshji to forgive him and to return to Gokul for permanent residence on hearing he went to Agra to see the emperor and to bliss him for his recovery.

In service of Shri Gokulnathji

And he used to come back to Gokul after finishing the service of Uthapan and returning to Gokul he was again doing the service of the divine form of Shri Gokulnathji. Rest of time was passed by him in meditation (Bhagvadchintan). He was also explaining to vaishnavas the salient principles of religion. That was all done by simple language.

Such a powerful protector of religion entered into "Nityalila" on the ninth day of the dark half of the Maha V.S. 1697. He was 89 years of age when his mortal remains entered into "Nitya Lila" (Eternal play). He was the advocate of truth when he merged his physical form with eternal play of Almighty, his most dedicated 78 disciples also could not bear his loss , left their bodies and breathed their last. The whole pushtimarg sect will be indebted to him forever.

In Service of Shri Goverdharan (Shrinathjibawa)

In V.S. 1678 on the 10th day dark half of the month Chaitra Shri Gokuleshji came to Gokul from Soramji and permanently stayed there. After coming to Gokul Shri Gokuleshji used to pass most of his time in the service of divine form of Shri Gokulnathji and till the service of Rajbhog. He used to stay in Gokul and after the he used to go on horse back to Jatipura. During all this time he remained pure and undefile (apras) was performing the "Arati" ceremony of Shri Govardhandharan at the time of Rajbhog.
