DWITIYA PEETHADHISH SHRI KRISHNARAI JI
S.V. 1857


Shri Krishnaraiji was an educated, diligent and devotional head acharya of the second house. He was of a peaceful disposition and worshipped the form of Shri Vitthalnathji with great devotion. He was dedicated to the Lord's service and held many festivals such as a "chappan bhog" (a celebration with fifty-six types of offerings).

It is said that due to the will of Shri Nathji His own temple owed an enormous debt. Shri Krishnaraiji paid this debt and in return the ornamentation (shringhar) of Akshay Navmi and other special days were offered to the second house from the Tilakayat house. These tradition of ornamentation by second house acharya is still offered in the Lord's service to this very day.

Shri Krishnaraiji had five sons: Shri Govindji (adopted to be Tilakayat), Shri Gokulotsavji (head of the second house), Shri Vitthalraiji (Indore house), Kaka Giridharji (parcharak of 2nd house) and Damodarji (Gotalalji, vadodra house).
