expelled

 In 1540, the Gauḍiyas (Bengalis) were expelled from the Śrī Nāthajī temple by followers of the Puṣṭimārga. In consolation Viṭṭhalanātha gave them the image of Madanmohan which they took to Vrindaban. To replace them Viṭṭhalanātha hired Sanchora Brahmins from Gujarat to perform the worship of Śrī Nāthajī.
