After Vallabhacharya, his son Gusainji did sewa for Shreeji.
During the period of Gusainji’s sewa Shreeji interacted with all His Bhakts personally giving them every divine bliss here on this earth. He behaved as a small child and had a habit of asking for whatever He wanted from His bhakt. He loved to play games with His Gwals and many times demanded and ate food from His bhakts. Shri Gusainji had to virtually look after Shreeji as a small child. He took care of all His needs. It was a miraculous period when the Lord graced this earth and His lila players with divine plays in the most open manner. He put aside all His Higher side and appeared as a helpless innocent child. This blissful lila was there for some lucky divine souls. They were searched for and then initiated into Krishn sewa. Both Vallabhacharya and Gusainji collected these divine souls and connected them with Shreeji. Both were like His human counterparts come to do some specific works for the Lord. They acted as the intermediate between God and the human soul. They were called as the Divine Guru
Once when Gusainji was on his way to Dwarka, he saw a lovely spot in Mevar, Rajasthan called Sinhad. He mentioned this to Harivamshaji that in future Shreeji will come reside here. As long as Gusainji was alive Shreeji will stay only in Govardhan hill. This shows how all was planned by Shreeji Himself; when He would leave Braj and move to Mewar. The outer circumstances are there only as an excuse.
Gusainji stayed there for 2 days. The king Uday Singh came for his darshans with gifts. Later his queen came who was the daughter of famous Saint Princess Mira Bai. This queen’s daughter-in-law was Ajaba Kunwari. She came and took initiation from Gusainji. When he had to move on to Dwarka Ajaba was very upset. Then Gusainji explained to her, "Though I can not stay here, Shreeji Himself would come here and give you Darshans."
After this promise Shreeji came daily from Govardhan to Mewar to meet Ajaba. After playing Chopad with her He would return to His Govardhan hill. Realizing how troublesome it must be for Thakurjee to travel back and forth, Ajaba made a request to Shreeji, "Please come and live in Mevar, so that I can always have your darshans". At that time Shreeji refused. He told her "As long as Gusainji is there on earth I will not leave Govardhan". Later He committed, "I will come here and stay for many years. Then only when Gusainji appears again in his lineage I will return back to Govardhan hill in Vrindavan Dham and play there for many years".
Many years later Shreeji remembered the promise given to Ajaba that He would move to Mevar. But Shreeji knew, the lineage holders of Vallabhacharya would not agree to let Him shift unless they were forced by some evil to move from here.
He inspired a Moghul king according to His divine plan to make Him leave Govardhan and also made the leela so His own mandir will become secret.
That is how God works in unknowing ways. To the world it is not visible why some unknown happenings take place in an instant. It can only be through Thakurjee’s leela. Like anyone can always argue that Thakurjee is so powerful, why could He not prevent the Moghuls from causing so much damage. What at times we do not realize that it is only with His wish that so many coincidents take place. They are not understood by us because God wishes to keep them secret. Here Shreeji had to move away to Mevar for the fulfillment of His commitment to His dear bhakt Ajaba; so He created the exact circumstances for His caretakers to be forced into moving Him.
As later in the vartas it comes that Shreeji’s Rath stopped exactly at the spot where Gusainji had predicted years back. It was the area where the princess Ajaba Kunwari’s Haveli stood earlier; that became his final destination from Braj – Girirajji.
During these years bhao and bhakti reached a high with Shreeji coming out totally in the outer dimensions giving untold bliss and anand to all His devotees.
As the Mughal menace was increasing it was thought necessary to shift Shreeji also to a safer place. The invaders destroyed the idols looting the Hindu mandirs. In that period Shri Govindaji was in charge of taking care of Shreeji. His older brother Girdhariji had already entered in the eternal lila. Shreeji told him about the worries of Govindaji. Girdhariji appeared to Govindaji and explained it to be the wish of Shreeji Himself to move from here to Mevar. He had to fulfill the desire of all His bhakts.
Later by the time Shreeji decided to shift to Mewar, He had stopped interactions in the direct manner and over later time period as He did not get the required bhao, moved totally inside. As we all know God needs highest purity and bhao to be able to interact with His devotee; which unfortunately is missing today.
The journey to Mevar began in Vikram Samvat 1669 on Asadh Sud Poonam on Friday, during the last 3 hours of the night. ShreeNathji with all His sewaks arrived in Sinhad in Vikram Samvat 1672 on Falgun Vad Satam on Saturday.
During this entire journey Shreeji insisted to keep His bhakt, an old lady by the name of Gangabai in the chariot behind Him. She became His voice; whenever Shreeji’s Rath stopped they came and asked Gangabai what Shreeji required. When that wish was fulfilled the Rath would move again. The large procession consisted of all His Brajwasi friends and several sewaks. These Brajwasis till today stay in Nathdwara and serve Shreeji, though generations have passed.
They reached Agra in one night; Shreeji stayed in His mandir here. Shree Navneet Priya (child form of Krishn) was in Gokul at that time. He also, after performing many miracles was finally brought to Agra and since stayed with Shreeji.
After celebrating the Annakut festival in Agra Shreeji wished to go to Dandoti Ghat. On the way He desired to stay at the Chambal River.
Then beyond Dandoti Ghat in the town of Krishnapur, Shreeji decided to stay. From here He proceeded to Kota-Bundi. In the town of Kota at Krishnsvilas, near a rock marked with a lotus, ShreeNathji stayed for 4 months of the rainy season.
From here He proceeded to Jodhpur; passed through Pushkar on the way. At the Pushkar lake Shreeji’s Rath got stuck; on inquiry through Gangabai, Shreeji said He could smell Lotus. Everyone present then offered Him Lotus which made Him happy.
The next stop was at Krishnagarh. ShreeNathji’s Rath was in the nearby town of Ujad. A dense forest of Dhak trees was close by. There was a beautiful lake and a river flowed from a spring on a nearby mountain. ShreeNathji loved this place surrounded by Kesuda flowers and expressed His desire to spend the spring season here.
Six miles from Jodhpur in the nearby town of Chaupaseni, close to a grove of Kadamb trees ShreeNathji decided to stay. The 3rd rainy season He spent here. In the 4th rainy season He reached Mevar. He purified the lands He passed by; Hindmultanan, Dandoti Ghat, Bundi-Kota, Dundar and in Mevar, Banasvada, Dungarapura and Shahpura. It took Shreeji 2 years, 4 months and 7 days to travel from the Govardhan Hill to Mevar in His Rath.
Shri Rana Singhji was told about ShreeNathji’s plan to live in Mevar. His mother explained to Rana that it was through the fortune of Ajaba Kunwari that Shreeji has decided to come and live here, so every possible sewa should be extended for Him.
In the year Vikram Samvat 1671 on a full moon (Purnima) during the month of Kartik, Shreeji headed for Mevar. They stayed close by in a small town where they made their afternoon Utthapan. Here in a nearby lake Shreeji freed 1000,s of ghosts by partaking of some water from the lake. Later they moved from here and reached Sinhad in 23 days. Later His Rath was stuck in a spot. When asked why, Shreeji replied, "My bhakt Ajaba Kunwari lived here; so My mandir should be built here". He said, "this place being surrounded by mountains reminds Me of Braj". "There is also the Banas River which represents Yamunaji". “This is Ajaba Kunwari’s land", "Shreeji said; I will stay here. Have all the lineage holders build their places also”.
"Though His Presence may be felt by His close worshippers in His Nathdwara - Haveli, there is no personal meeting any more; except for a few very, very lucky divine souls whom Shreeji loves.
Shri Govindaji began preparations to get the mandir ready. In Vikram Samvat 1672 in Falgun Vad Satam, Shri Dauji established ShreeNathji in the mandir Haveli according to Vedic rites. Slowly all the various rituals and festivals were started again here similar to the Govardhan hill.
A Gaushala was also built close by for Shreeji’s cows.
