DWITIYA PEETHADHISH SHRI GIRIDHAR JI
S.V. 1745

Shri Giridharji was adopted into the 2nd house of the pushti lineage by Shri Harirai Mahaprabhu. He was the son of Shri Damodarji {Tilkayat).

 PRASANG(1)
Once when Shri Hariraiji was doing Shri Nathji's aarti, Shri Giridharji was standing nearby. He was just a child at the time and playfully grabbed ahold of Shri Hariraiji's lotus feet. Shri Hariraiji was very pleased and blessed him with the words “you will come to our house”. These blessed words came to be when Shri Giridharji was adopted by the second house. He became the seat-holder of the second house.

He was educated by Shri Hariraiji and became a learned acharya. He wrote many scholarly texts and commentaries such as the “siddhantmuktawali yojana". He was inspired by Acharya Purushottam, a great scholar in the lineage at the time.
He renovated the temple of Shri Vitthalnathji in Nathdwara and began the worship of his deity there.

He had five sons: Ragunathji, Chimmanji, Kalyanraiji, Ghansyamji{nadiad}and Gopinathji.
