Jeti Pura (Jatipura) Jeti
Pura is named after Madhavendra Puri, who was a sannyasi (in the renounced
order), or yati. Yeti means “sannyasa.” Jeti is the modern
corruption. Pura means “town.” This town is called Jati
Pura because Madhavendra Puri used to live here. He worshiped the
Deity of Gopala (Sri Nathaji) here. This town is also known as Gopala
Pura. Vithalanatha, the son of Vallabhacarya, lived in this town when
he was the head priest of the Gopala Temple. It is also said by followers
of the Pushtimarg, that the jeti (jati) that the town refers to is
Giridhara, the oldest son of Vittahalnath. Two important temples here are Mathuradhish and Gokulanath. The original Deity of Mathuradhish is now worshiped in Kota, Rajasthan. Sringa
Stali (Murkharavinda) This is on the western side of Govardhana Hill. Sri
Gopala revealed himself to Madhavendra Puri on the eastern side of
the hill. Sri Gopala was worshiped in a temple on top of the hill.
You can see the temple on top of the hill at this place. How To Get Here This place is in the town of Jeti Pura, right next to Govardhana Hill. Once you are in Jeti Pura, everyone knows where this place is located. Dandavata
