MARRIAGE CEREMONY

In V.S. 1624 Shri Gokuleshji married to a daughter of Venabhattji resident of Mathura. Shri Gokuleshji's wife had three daughters. Shri Vitthalnathji had a keen desire to see Gokuleshji's son. So he told Gokuleshji for a second marriage. But Shri Gokuleshji refused to do so and said that he would be unhappy by his second marriage. To his mind daughter and son were the same. By the grace of God and blessings of his father Gokuleshji's wife Parvati Vahuji gave birth to three sons.

His wife Parvati Vahuji was a very serviceable lady. She was very expert in culinary arts, drawing, sewing etc. She was clever in many fine arts and she used to utilize these arts in the devotional service of Shri Thakurji.
We get glimpse of her art of drawing in the picture of the "Arati" of SULTANPAT.
