Shri Navnit Priyaji,”The one who loves fresh butter”/ is a form of Child Krishna crawling on the floor with a ball of butter in His right hand. Shri Navanita Priyaji was found in the Yamuna river by a Kshatriya woman near Mahavan and presented to shri Vallabhacharya. This Svarupa was daily worshipped by Shri Gusainji in Gokul and he presented it to his son Shree Girdharji. On major festival, Shri Navanitpriyaji sits with Shreenathji, but also enjoys His own separate Haveli just next to Shreenathji.
Shri Gusainji explains. “Shri Navanitpriyaji is the form of Child Krishna that resides with mother Yashoda. Shri Krishna as Shri Navanitpriyaji plays like and infant in front of her.” |
