Srila Vallabhacarya Bhaitak

Srila Vallabhacarya Baithak
N .1 7 Pavana-bihari Mandira
Nearby to the Pavana-bihari temple is the baithaka of Vallabhacharya who established
many baithakas around Vraja where he would recite the Bhagavatam. Some say Lord Chaitanya’s baithaka is also here but there is no shastric evidence to support such claims and therefore not accepted by Gaudiya scholars. It has become fashionable amongst locals to make such false claims simply to attract gullible pilgrims to give donations.

BM.47 SANKET (Sanket Grama)
Sanket is mentioned in the Puranas to be one of the adhivanas or sub-forests of Vraja.
(Some say the sitting place or baithaka of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is located here but this baithaka is not mentioned in Bhakti-ratnakara and is certainly the baithaka of Vallabhacharya, who also called himself Mahaprabhu and established many baithakas where he recited Bhagavatama which has led to this confusion)

This ghäöa is situated west of Tamäla-talä on the southern bank of Çyäma-kuëòa. Çré Vallabhäcärya sat in the shade of a choharä tree here with his associates and glorified both kuëòas. He remained here for some time and bathed at this ghäöa daily. He would also speak on Çrémad-Bhägavatam here.
