Radha-Madhava Take Their Bath

Bengali pujari Shyam-vigraha attends Radha-Madhava in Their bathing ceremony. Their Lordships are actually bathed everyday, but not for public viewing and usually only with water.

Interesting Note: Why was Krishna born into this world, five-thousand years ago? He is described in the scriptures as aja -unborn, as He is the First Cause, from which both spiritual and material worlds emanate. But He kindly descends to earth when religious principles are in decline, and the world is troubled by impious people. He then reestablishes the path of spiritual life, so that those who are interested can follow it and return to our spiritual home. (Bhagavad-Gita Chapter 4. Verses 7 & 8). But even while here on earth, His body is entirely spiritual and not made of matter, like ours.
