SHRI HARI-RAI-JI was born in Sri-madh Gokul on Ashwin vad 5th sam-vant 1647. SHRI HARI-RAI-JI is the son of Shri Kaliyan-rai-ji, who in turn is the son of Shri Govind-rai-ji, who is second son of Shri Vithal-nath-ji (Gusain-ji). I am sure there will not be any vaishnav who do not know Shri Gusain-ji, He is son of SHRI VALLABH, i.e., SHRI MADH VALLABH. He is great great grand father of SHRI HARI-RAI-JI.
SHRI HARI-RAI-JI is handsome, elegant, an artist of high quality, a unique scholar with highest knowledge of literature. He inheritated all traits from SHRI VALLABH-ACHA-RAYA, a true love and affection for SHRI GOVARDHAN-DHA-RAN SHRI-NATH-JI. He willingly surrendered everything to him and is always ready to serve SHRI-NATH-JI.
Being SAT-VIK SWAROOP of SHRI MAHA-PRABHU-JI, He is known as SHRI HARI-RAI-MAHA-PRA-BHU-JI. He is the author of SHRI-NATH-JI'S pra-ga-tiya varta. For all VAISHNA'S he has written 166 books in Sanskrit, 30 in Vraj-bha-sha and most important are 41 letters he wrote to His younger brother SHRI GO-PESH-WAR-JI. These letters are known as SHIK-SHA-PATRA. He compiled 40 pads on SHRI YAMUNA-JI. He (his material life visible to all- vaishnav and ordinary people alike) lived 125 years, and still living among us through His books for the ordinary eye, but for alo-kik vaishnav the entire SHRI VALLABH KUL is immortal.
SHRI GOKAL-NATH-JI, the second son of SHRI VITHAL-NATH-JI, graced SHRI HARI-RAI-JI by giving BRA-MAH-SAM-BANDH. He treated GURU, VAISHNAV & THAKURJI (SHRI NATHJI) as one.
