Why Lord Krishna Temple at Dakor ?
The presence of DAKOR name is belonged
from the great devotee of lord KRISHNA , the
BODANA. In his previous birth, he is supposed to live in GOKUL and been a
cowherd called VIJAYANAND. On once at a HOLI day, all the cowherds except
VIJAYANAND worshiped lord KRISHNA , but
VIJAYANAND has proud and stayed at home. Lord KRISHNA came to his house in
disguise of his friend and sent him to perform “HOLI PUJA”. Coming back he felt
that the friend came to him was no one but a lord KRISHNA .
Next day they fought a battle of COLOUR and lord KRISHNA
fell into the river. VIJAYANAND went after him where lord KRISHNA
revealed his true self. This storey is told by one of the devotees of KRISHNA , BHOLANATH in 1957. He used to walk all the way from DAKOR to
DWARKA on every full moon night. As BHOLANATH aged, it became harder for him to
go to DWARKA. Then lord KRISHNA told him that
he need not walk all the way to DWARKA as he had decided to accompany him and
stay with him in DAKOR.
So, some devotees started moving the idol of
Lord Krishna. The local people objected to this and fought with
the devotees. God told the devotees to throw his idol into the water. The local
people searched for the idol by poking sticks into the water, but they were not
able to find it. When the devotees removed the idol of Lord KRISHNA, wounds were seen all over
the idol. These wounds were attributed as due to the sticks.
The local people then asked the
devotees for gold equal to the weight of the idol. The only gold that the
devotee had was his wife's nose ring. However, when the nose ring and the idol
were weighed, they were found to be equal in weight. It is believed that Lord KRISHNA tilted the scales in favor of the nose ring, so that the
local people could get only a very small quantity of gold. This idol of Lord KRISHNA was then installed at DAKOR. This shows how Lord KRISHNA changed his residence for the convenience of his devotees.
Recently, DAKOR is included in one of
the six major pilgrimage places under "YATRADHAM VIKAS BOARD" by
Government of GUJARAT for development as a well-planned and well organized
pilgrim place to facilitate the vast amount of visiting pilgrims. Lots of
pilgrims visit the place every year and a continuous increase is witnessed
every year. On "FAGUN PURNIMA" celebration the town gets ready with
all the means to welcome and serve 1.5 million tourists. The sentiments and
emotions of devotees during these celebrations are unimaginable.
