Raja, a gentle-hearted ox at Nava Vraja Dhāma

Raja the Gentle Heart

Born: 6 February 2014

Raja may have a royal name, but at heart he is a gentle and sensitive soul. As the longtime partner of the energetic and strong willed Mathura, he often found himself working beside an ox with a much bigger personality. While Mathura charged confidently into every situation, Raja preferred a more cautious approach. A fluttering bird, a passing cat, or an unexpected movement could easily catch his attention and make him nervous. Yet despite his timid nature, Raja always tried his best. His sweet personality and honest heart have made him a lovable member of the herd, proving that courage is not the absence of fear, but continuing on even when you feel it.
