Vrindawan Corridor: Reform for Bhakti and Accessibility
“Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram.” These are the words echoed by Baba Shri Raj Mahajan ji, a spiritual narrator and guru whose heartfelt concern for dharma and devotion resonates deeply. He begins by reminding us of a core spiritual truth: whenever there is a decline in dharma, the divine himself intervenes to restore order.
This forms the background to a highly discussed and transformative development in the sacred city of Vrindavan—the Vrindavan Corridor.
The Need for the Vrindavan Corridor
Guru Shri Raj Mahajan ji recounts a personal experience that highlights the necessity of the Vrindavan Corridor. He and his family once visited the revered Banke Bihari Temple—a site beloved by millions of devotees. But instead of peace and devotion, what they encountered was a harsh and unsettling scene.
Baba ji narrates how, as they approached the sanctum for darshan, a group of priests and middlemen—some 10 to 20 in number—were calling out to visitors, offering VIP darshan for ₹500 or faster darshan for ₹100. It wasn’t just commercialization; it was coercion. Those who refused to pay were pushed aside, scolded, even manhandled.
When Shri Raj Mahajan ji and his family didn’t agree to their terms, the situation escalated. The priests and their aides not only argued but were on the verge of physical aggression, disregarding the sacredness of the space they were in.
This experience left Baba ji deeply disturbed. Not just because of the personal affront, but because this behavior was happening at the very doorstep of Lord Banke Bihari.
Vrindawan Corridor: A Divine Decision
In light of such experiences, Guru ji strongly supports the construction of the Vrindavan Corridor. He sees it as a much-needed transformation that will:
- Ensure accessibility for all devotees, without fear or harassment.
- End monopolistic control over temple access by a select few.
- Uphold the dignity of darshan—making it a spiritual, not commercial, experience.
As Baba Shri Raj Mahajan emphasizes, “Banke Bihari is not anyone’s private property. He belongs to all of us. We are His, and He is ours.” No individual, priest, or self-proclaimed guardian has the right to claim sole authority over the deity or his presence.
Jai Sitaram: A Call to Righteousness
The Vrindawan Corridor, according to Shri Raj Mahajan ji, is not just a structural development—it is a correction of a long-standing spiritual imbalance. It is a divine intervention in itself, ensuring that every soul, regardless of status or wealth, can connect with the Lord in peace, dignity, and devotion.
“Jai Jai Sitaram!” Baba ji ends with a heartfelt invocation, urging for unity, truth, and the end of exploitation in the name of devotion.
