SHRI RASIK BIHARI TEMPLE

Shri Rasik Bihariji Temple in Vrindavan is regarded as one of the most sacred and spiritually significant places, uniquely known as Hari Triveni (Haritri). This divine spot holds immense importance as the meeting point of three great Rasik Shiromanis of Braj—each considered an eternal associate of Shri Radha-Krishna.

Spiritual Importance

  • Swami Shri Haridas Ji, revered as the incarnation of Lalita Sakhi, who revealed the famous Banke Bihari Ji Deity.

  • Shri Hit Harivansh Mahaprabhu, considered the incarnation of Lord Krishna’s divine flute, who established the path of Raganuga Bhakti.

  • Shri Hariram Vyas Ji, worshipped as the incarnation of Vishakha Sakhi, who composed countless divine verses glorifying Shri Radha-Krishna’s eternal pastimes.

This sacred confluence of divine saints symbolizes the Triveni Sangam of Rasik Bhakti in Vrindavan, where the streams of devotion, divine music, and transcendental poetry meet to form the eternal flow of love for Shri Radha-Krishna.
