The Sneha Bihari temple is the home and base of operations of an important branch of the family that serves Banke Bihari Deva in the line of Swami Haridas. The founder of this branch, Snehil Lal Goswami, was 10th in line from Swami Haridas’ brother Jagannath, their patriarch.

Snehi Lal Goswami was the sevaiyat of Banke Bihari with specific responsibility for his evening dress. One day, as he was changing the deity, Snehilal had the sudden inspiration to ask Banke Bihari to take birth in his family.

After he prayed in this way, Banke Bihari appeared to him in a dream and said, “I am very pleased with your mood of love and your service. In your goshala, you have a black cow. Go and look where it is spontaneously spilling milk and dig in the ground there.”

The next morning, Goswamiji did so and found Krishna’s beautiful murti. In order to fulfill the meaning of his own name and to maintain the glory of his lord Banke Bihariji, he named the deity Radha Sneha Bihariji. He then built a small temple for the deity right there in the goshala.

Snehi Lal Goswami was succeeded by his nephew, Giridhar Lal Goswami. Giridhar Lal was a great scholar of the Bhagavatam, and all his descendants have similarly followed in his footsteps and been preachers of the Bhagavatam. His grandson Mula Bihari Goswami built up a large following all over India and had thousands of disciples. He was eager to build up Sneha Bihariji’s temple, which by then was quite run down, but entered the nitya nikunj in May of 1981 at the early age of 47 and so was unable to realize his hopes for the temple.

His eldest son, Mridul Krishna Goswami, has continued in the tradition of Bhagavata speakers and has made a big impact not only in India, but has traveled widely around the world. In his career he has given more than 700 Bhagavata saptahas to great acclaim. His son Gaurav Krishna Goswami has followed in his footsteps and has similarly achieved immense popularity in India and abroad.

The Bhagwat Sewa Trust has been publishing a monthly magazine in Hindi, Mridul Chintan, since 2003, and is currently building a devotionally centered community called Mridul Vrindavan Ashram in the Jaipur suburb of Vilochi.

As a result of their successes, at a cost of nearly Rs 6 crores ($1.5 million) they were able to rebuild the Sneha Bihari temple combining the best features of traditional Vrindavan and modern architecture. Numerous major programs are held in the temple every year, including a major dhrupad festival that takes place on the appearance days of Shrimati Radharani and Swami Haridas.

Assisted by his two brothers, Atul Krishna and Vipul Krishna, Mridul Krishna Goswami has built the household name into a veritable empire, with the launching of the channel simply the latest in a long list of successes.

“But the foundation of it all is a faith in the path of Swami Haridas, Banke Bihari and the Srimad Bhagavatam, and a selfless spirit of generosity in spreading the joy of devotion to Radha and Krishna,” says Atul Krishnaji.
