Chhattisgarh News: Home Minister amit shah (Amit Shah) Visited Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya Ji Temple in Chhattisgarh today (24 August). This temple is located in Champarany, 50 km from Raipur. This is considered to be the birthplace of Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya and hence a large number of devotees reach here every year. In the 15th century, Vallabhacharya founded the Krishna-centric Pushti Marg sect of Vaishnavism in the Braj region and propounded the Shuddhadvaita philosophy.
This temple is a big centre of faith for Krishna devotees. A large number of Vallabhacharya’s devotees from Gujarat and Maharashtra come here to visit. Vallabhacharya was born in a Telugu Brahmin family at this place in Champarany. He received his education in Varanasi. Vallabhacharya breathed his last in Banaras. He had made many followers in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Trees are not cut here
It is said that Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya travelled across India on foot three times. He also recited the Bhagavata Saptaah. The place where he recited the Bhagavata two times is in Champarany, hence this place is also very important. It is believed that Vallabhacharya was born inside the forest, hence cutting trees is also prohibited in that area.
Another belief related to Champaranya
Apart from this temple, there are many beliefs about Champarany. According to a mythological belief, the trinity of Lord Shiva had taken birth here. Here a milkman was unable to milk his cow. He was worried about where the cow’s milk goes and one day he followed the cow and found out that the cow offers milk to the Shivling at Champeshwar Nath every day. He then told this information to the king of that state who further developed that place.
