A short information about Mahanubhava Pantha

Mahanubhava Pantha is a religious sect following the teachings of Panch Avatars of pantha. Mahanubhava Pantha originated during the late 12th century and from the Varhada region of Maharashtra. Pantha teaches how to connect the inner soul with the parmewshwara bhagti and attain moksha.

Pancha Avatars Of Mahanubhava Pantha | Dandvat

Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami told to his pantha that the lord takes avatars in all four Yugas (Krutayuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, Kaliyuga). Same was said by Shree Krishna in Shree Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”. Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when avatar of prabhu is absent.

Brahmvidya Shastra, It is a collection of main vachans (sutras) of Swami Shree Chakardhara and presents the philosophical core of Mahanubhav Pantha. Very well planned and carefully organized into various sections, it is revered as our Shastra mop Parmeshwar (God in the form of scripture).

🚩 Five incarnations of Mahanubhava Pantha

Mahanubhav Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami in 1267 and he is the 5th avatar. Earlier to Shree Chakradhar Swami there were 4 more avatars. We call them as Panch Krishna Avatars.

Pancha Avatars Of Mahanubhava Pantha | Dandvat

Shri Chakradhar Swami propagated a religious movement, as well as social movement, in which all members were accepted irrespective of their castes, and the traditional ritualistic religion was rejected. Some sources list the founder of Mahanubhava as Govinda Prabhu and Chakradhara as its first “apostle”.

Mahanubhava Pantha teaches that Krishna is the only God in Universe.

Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami told to his pantha that the lord takes avatars in all four Yugas (Krutayuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, Kaliyuga). Same was said by Shree Krishna in Shree Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”. Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when avatar of prabhu is absent.

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

As we all know that our fifth avatar of Mahanubhav Pantha; Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji spent his most of the time in the Maharashtra and at the age of 80. Lord left to the Badrikashram, Himalaya.

Once Mahadaisa requested the Lord. I wish to celebrate the Deepwali Festival in your service. Lord given the grant and all they started the preparation. Even they need anything, then ask the Nagubaisa.

Everything is ready for the evening bath, they have the Turmeric paste, Oil and Soap all from the Umaisa's home. At the early morning. Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami is ready and have taken the assan. Even all the Bhakats have taken their positions. Mahadiase, who requested for the celebration have started. She started with the arti, then greeted the lord with Beeda(वीड़ा). She started rubbing turmeric over the body of the Lord, then after shared the bowl with the bhagats. The bhagats have rubbed the same material on each other. Then they washed the Lord. Mahadaisa was pouring water and Baisa is rubbing the body. Bhagats were standing beneath and they are also washing them with the same Charan Amrit. In this way, the sanan is done.

Since Nagdev body is hairy, so more water is given to him for the bath. Mahadaise, have done some traditional way arti of Prabhu Ji. Then after Prabhu Ji dressed up and arti, Chandan tilak, Paan-Beeda, Bhog is proposed to the Lord. This way the Pooja avasr have been done. Later the food is processed to all the Bhakats and in this way the Leela of Deepawali happened.

महात्माओं की दीवाली
एक दिन महदाइसाने भगवानसे प्रार्थना की, ‘महाराज ! मैं आपकी सेवामें दीवालीका त्यौहार मनाऊँगी ।’ भगवानने आज्ञा दी, ‘हमारे साथ महात्मालोगोंकी भी दीवाली मनायी जाये । त्यौहार मनानेका सामान यदि कम हो, तो नागुबाइसासे माँग लो।’

महदाइसाने ‘जो आज्ञा’ कहकर सबको स्नान करानेके लिये संध्याके समय ही पानी भर लिया । उमाइसाके घरसे उबटन, तेल तथा साबुन ले आयी । उस दिन भगवान् बहुत सवेरे उठकर शौच आदिसे निवृत्त होकर आसनपर आ बैठे । भक्तलोगोंको भी बैठाया गया । महदाइसाने भक्त तथा भगवानकी आरती उतारी और भगवानको वीड़ा दिया । महदाइसाने भगवानके शरीरपर उबटन मला । उस कटोरीमें और तेल डालकर उसने भक्तोंको दिया । उन्होंने उबटनसे परस्पर एक-दूसरेके शरीरका मर्दन किया । उसने भगवानके सिरपर तेलकी मालिश की । भगवानको ऊँचे चबूतरेपर बिठलाया गया । नारियलके दूधसे उनका सिर धोया गया । भक्तजनोंको भी हरे नारियलका दूध सिरमें लगानेको दिया गया । उन्होंने एक-दूसरेके सिरपर मल लिया । फिर भगवानको जलसे नहलाया गया । महदाइसा पानी डाल रही थी और बाइसाजी सिर तथा शरीरको मल रही थी । भक्तलोग चबूतरेके नीचे खड़े होकर उस पानीसे नहा रहे थे । अंतमें जब भगवानकी श्रीमूर्तिपर पानीकी धार डाली गयी, तो भगवानने दोनों हाथ सिरपर रख लिये । पानी कुहनियोंसे होकर बहने लगा । उस पानीसे भक्तजन नहाये । इस प्रकार भगवान् तथा भक्तोंको स्नान करवाया गया ।

शरीरपर बाल अधिक होनेके कारण नागदेवजीको और अलग पानी देकर नहलाया गया । महदाइसाने कुछ वस्तुएँ लेकर भगवानके सिरसे वार दीं । उसके पश्चात भगवानने वस्त्र पहिन लिये । भगवानको आसनपर बिठलाकर उनकी पूजा की गयी । सभीको चंदनका तिलक लगाया गया । पुनश्च सभीके सिरपरसे कुछ वस्तुएँ वार दी गयीं । भगवानको वीड़ा और भक्तजनोंको पान दिये गये । भगवानने सबको पान खानेकी आज्ञा दी । सबने पान खाये । उतनेमें अरुणोदय हो जानेपर बाइसाजीने दैनिक पूजाअवसर किया । बादमें भगवान् विहरणके लिये चले गये और महदाइसा भोजन बनानेमें लग गयी ।

विहरणसे भगवानके लौटनेपर महदाइसाने पूजाअवसर किया । भगवानके लिये थाल और भक्तोंके लिये पत्तलें परोसी गयीं । भगवानके साथ बैठकर सब भक्तजनोंने भोजन किया । इस प्रकार दीपावली मनायी गयी ।

Shree Dattatreya, the guru to the entire universe – Vishwa Guru - SMARTHRUGAAMI

Shree Dattatreya, the guru to the...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Behind all names and forms is the one nameless, formless Essence. Behind all governors is the one Supreme Governor of governors. Behind all lights is the one Light Of lights. Behind all sounds, there is the soundless Supreme Silence. Behind all teachers is the one Supreme Guru of Gurus and that is only Jagad Guru SHREE DATTATREYA.

The two letters of DA and TTA means “DATTA” nama smarana, Datta nama sankeerthan, Datta nama dhyaana only will give Paramardha to every life. He is “BHUKTHI, MUHTHI PRADAATHA” which means, he will always sanction Sukha in this Loka and also in Paraloka. . Hence the Datta sadhaks can lead the superb Materialistic and Spiritualistic life. Miraculous growth and life settlement of Children/Generations of Datta Sadhaks can be seen . This is Permanant (SHAASWATHA) , True (SATHYA) and Happy (AANANDA).

Prabhu Dattatreya tatwa is AVYAKTHA, NIRGUNA, NIRAAKAARA, NIRANJANA, NISHKRIYA, PARABRAHMA, SAGUNA SWAROOPA and it is SHREEMANNARAAYANA, PARAMESHA TATWA. The Upanishads are clearly telling that, “DATTA VEEJASTHAM JAGATH SARVAM”. This means that total Universe is Prabhu Datta swaroopa. Nothing is beyond him.
Lord Dattatreya, is the important Diety in the Indian Spiritual Panorama and very important in MAHANUBHAV. His personality integrates the elements of the three Gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara. Shree Dattatreya is also the guru to the entire universe – Vishwa Guru.

He taught:
  • 1. Srividya to Parashurama
  • 2. Dattavidya to Brahma
  • 3. Adhyatma Vidya to Prahlada
  • 4. Yoga Vidya to Vasishta and
  • 5. Atma Vidya to Kartaviryarjuna

He also incarnated as Sri Sripada Vallabha and Sri Nrsimha Saraswati in the age of Kali to uphold Dharma. The trinity represent his three faces, his body is pure chit, the six branches of knowledge are his six hands, the four dogs are the four Vedas, the cow is Dharma, universal peace is the Oudumbara tree and the great incarnation of Brahman, complete with sixteen kalas, which is a personification of the knowledge of the Self – is the unfathomable Murti of Sri Dattatreya. Sri Dattareya is an ocean of compassion. By merely remembering his name, one earns his grace. Hence he is called “SMARTHRUGAAMI” – one who immediately appears to the devotee who remembers the Lord. A sage called Dalaadana once wanted to test the truth in this statement and remembered Dattatreya.

It is my very nature to reach that person who remembers me, instantly. Whether with devotion or not, if a man remembers me sincerely, I will instantly reach him and grant his desires – This is Shree Dattareya’s sacred promise to us, his children.
Also, the other unique quality of Sri Dattareya is that he is – BHAKTA KEERTHI VIVARDHANA – he is more interested in showcasing the glory of his devote than of his own. This is yet another example of his immeasurable grace towards his devotees.

The Upanishads Avadhutopanishad and Jaabaaldarshanopanishad mention that the philosophy is given by Shri Dattatreya. Upanishads and Puranas are openly telling and Guru avatharas are guiding us to recite Datta Nama Smaran. Dattaguru is always ready on his toes to reach those who remember him and shower his unbounded blessings on them. Come forward and recognize him and join his mission by serve him in the propagation of Datta Nama to make your materialistic life easy and create your path to reach the stage of SALVATION by glorifying the Glory of Lord Dattatreya.

What does purans says
  • 1. The Bhagavata-purana and the Markandeya-purana, are the most authoritative sources on the Dattatreya-avatara and they identify Him exclusively with Lord Vishnu.
  • 2. Atreh patny anasuuyaa triin~ jajn~e suyashasah sutaan dattam duurvaasasam somam aatmesha-brahma- sambhavaan (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.1.15).
  • 3. The Vishnu-dharmottara Purana describes in great detail the iconographic details of the avatara-s of Lord Vishnu and here is the reference for Sri Dattatreya.
  • 4. Brahmanda Purana says–“Lord Dattatreya gave the memory of Vedas to the Vedamurthy Sree Brahma Deva Himself.
  • 5. The Upanishads Avadhutopanishad and Jaabaaldarshanopanishad mention that the philosophy is given by Shri Dattatreya.
  • 6. Upanishads and Puranas are openly telling and Guru avatharas are guiding us to recite Datta Nama Smaran.

Shri Dattaguru is always ready on his toes to reach those who remember him and shower his unbounded blessings on them. Come forward and recognize him and join his mission by serve him in the propagation of Datta Nama to make your materialistic life easy and create your path to reach the stage of SALVATION by glorifying the Glory of Lord Dattatreya.

Vāsudeva Shree Krishna - The Supreme God

Vāsudeva Shree Krishna - The Supr...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Krishna, the meaning of the word in Sanskrit is all-attractive.
He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, also called as God of gods. In other words, Krishna is the Godhead because He is all-attractive.
From practical experience we can observe that one is attractive due to:

(1) Wealth: Ownership and control over all.
He is Laksmi-pati (the husband of the Goddess of Fortune). All material and spiritual energies belong to Him.

(2) Power: The strength to create, maintain, and dissolve.
Demonstrated through feats like lifting Govardhan Hill or maintaining the orbits of countless planets through His energies.

(3) Fame: Being known and celebrated across time and space.
His pastimes (Lilas) are sung in every corner of the world, and His influence spans across millennia without fading.

(4) Beauty: Physical and spiritual charm that draws the heart.
Described as Kandarpa-koti-kamaniya—His beauty exceeds that of millions of Cupids, attracting even the most stoic minds.

(5) Wisdom: Complete knowledge of the past, present, and future.
Best exemplified by the Bhagavad Gita, a concise yet infinite philosophical treatise that remains the ultimate guide for humanity.

(6) Renunciation: The ability to be detached despite possessing everything.
Though He is the creator of the universe, He remains unaffected and detached, often playing the role of a simple cowherd boy.

One who is in possession of all six of these opulences at the same time and who possesses them to an unlimited degree is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to Parasara Muni a great Vedic authority.

Krishna is the principal protagonist with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita also known as the Song of God, which depicts the conversation between the Royal Prince Arjuna and Krishna during the great battle of Kurukshetra 5000 years ago where Arjuna discovers that Krishna is God and then comprehends his nature and will for him and for mankind. In the present age Krishna is one of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities.

केशववीहीरी उद्यापनी सातरा आरोगणा :
सासु सुनेची विहिर ऋद्धपुर

ऋद्धपुर च्या पुर्वेला तिवसा रोडवर असलेली श्री गोविंद प्रभुं चरणांकित, ही विहिर सासु, सुनेची विहिर म्हणून प्रसिद्ध आहे.
लिळा :
नगराच्या पूर्वेस केशवनायकांनी विहिर खोदली. परंतु पाणी लागत नाही म्हणुन चिंतित झाले. मग श्रीप्रभु बाबांना विनंती केली, “ बाबा मी खुप कष्टाने विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागत नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, “अवो मेला जाए, वीहीरी खणावी म्हणे : न खणावी म्हणे : मेला जाए खणावीची म्हणे :” तेंव्हा केशव नायक म्हणाले, “जी,जी एव्हडी खोल विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागले नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, अवो मेला जाए खण म्हणे : आणि श्री चरणाचा अंगठा लावला. केशवनायकांनी थोडे खोदताच, खुप पाणी लागले. संपुर्ण विहिर पाण्याने भरली. सर्वजन आश्चर्यचकित झाले.

नंतर केशवनायकांनी सुंदर चिरेबंदी विहिर बांधली. आता फक्त वरील काठ बांधणे बाकी होते. तेंव्हा श्रीप्रभु म्हणाले, “मेला जाए, सीसवठी न बांधता, अगोदर उद्यापन कर म्हणे :” केशव नायक म्हणाले, ज्याअर्थी गोसावी म्हणतात तेंव्हा पुढे काही तरी कठीन प्रसंग असेल ! म्हणून उद्यापण करवित असतील. मग केशव नायकांनी उद्यापऩाची तयारी केली. माडव घातला, ब्राम्हण बोलावले, हवण केले, ब्राम्हणाला जेउ घातले. नंतर गोसावी तेथे बीजे केले, विहीरीमधे एका ठिकाणी बसुन आरोगणा झाली.

इकडे त्याच दिवसी कटक देवगीरीला विठ्ठलनायक व दाएनायकांना, जे राज दरबारा मधे दरबारी होते तृटी आली म्हणून पकडले. केशवनायक त्यांचे व्याही होते, व त्यांनी काही वस्तू केशवनायकां कडे ठेवली होती. म्हणून केशवनायक ही नागवले गेले. तेंव्हा केशवनायक म्हणाले, “राउळांनी येणा-या संकटाची सुचना म्हणून उद्यापण करविले..!

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Kaliya was the name of a poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River, in Vrindavan. The water of the Yamuna for four leagues all around him boiled and bubbled with poison. No bird or beast could go near, and only one solitary Kadamba tree grew on the river bank.
The proper home of Kaliya was Ramanaka Dwipa, but he had been driven away from there by fear of Garuda, the foe of all serpents. Garuda had been cursed by a yogi dwelling at Vrindavan so that he could not come to Vrindavan without meeting his death. Therefore Kaliya chose Vrindavan as his residence, knowing it was the only place where Garuda could not come.
Once Krishna and herdboys were playing ball, and while playing Krishna climbed up the Kadamba tree and hung over the river bank, the ball fell into the river and Krishna jumped after it. Kaliya rose up with his hundred and ten hoods vomiting poison and wrapped himself around Krishna's body. Krishna became so huge that Kaliya had to release him. So Krishna saved himself from every attack, and when he saw the Brij folk were so much afraid he suddenly sprang into Kaliya's head and assumed the weight of the whole universe, and danced on the naga's heads, beating time with his feet. Then Kaliya began to die. But then the naga's wives came and prayed to Krishna with joined palms, worshiping Krishna and praying for their husband.

इतने में मार्तंड को कहा कि मंदिर की छत पर चढ़कर दूर से आ रहे व्यक्तियों के विषय में बताएं! मार्तंड ने देखा कि इन्द्रभट्ट अपने सिर पर बहुत बड़ा टोकरा रखे बढ़ रहे हैं और साथ में द्वारावती से आए ब्रह्मचारिदेव नाम का ब्राह्मण भी है! भगवान जी की आज्ञा पाकर मार्तंड दौड़ते हुए इन्द्रभट्ट के सिर से टकरा उतारने लगे और स्वयं भोजन उठा कर ले आए! उस दिन इन्द्रभट्ट के घर श्राद्ध था! इनका विश्वास था कि भगवान जी के प्रति भोजन समर्पित करने से सब चरितार्थ हो जाता है! यहां ही सभी तीर्थ स्थान हैं! भगवान जी ने भी उनके भाग्य की बढ़ाई की!

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
भगवान जी विहरण से लौट राजमठ की तरफ आ रहे थे तभी एक विद्यावंत सुंदर वस्त्र पहने और माथे पर तिलक लगाए आगे आने लगे! भगवान जी ने उन्हें देखा और द्वार के पास पहुंच नागदेव जी को आज्ञा दी कि उस विद्यावंत पुरुष को वापिस भेज दिया जाए! नागदेव उनके पास गए और कहने लगे, क्या हो गया है इस टोलगी को? विद्यावंत होकर गा रहे हो? यहां कोई दान करने वाला बैठा है क्या?

फिर वह विधावंत व्यक्ति चला गया! उसकी जाने के बाद भगवान जी ने नागदेव जो को कहा, तुम महात्मा होकर ऐसे अपमान भरे शब्द कैसे बोल गए? उसे आराम से भेजने को कहा था न कि अपशब्द बोलने को! यहां कोई दानी नहीं बैठा क्या? फिर हम कौन हैं? साधक को परमेश्वर की मानसिक प्रवृति को भंग नहीं करनी चाहिए!

ज्ञान परम्परा

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
गणपति मठ के बरामदे में बैठे स्वामी जी से महदाइसा ने साष्टांग दंडवत प्रणाम कर विनम्रता से पूछा कि आप जिस ज्ञान मार्ग का प्रतिपादन करते हैं वह कब से आरम्भ हुआ और इसका आदि कारण कोन है?

स्वामी जी धीरे से मुस्कराये और बोले कि महदाइसा यह समझो कि सृष्टि के साथ साथ ही ज्ञान परम्परा का आरम्भ होता है। इस लिये ज्ञान परम्परा को सनातन भी कहा गया है। हमारी ज्ञान परम्परा के आदि कारण चतुर्युगी भगवान श्री दत्तात्रेयप्रभुजी हैं। उन्होनें त्रेता युग में अवतार धारण किया था। वे चारों युगों में विद्यमान रहते हैं। आज भी सैह्याद्री पर्वत पर क्रीड़ा कर रहे है। जीवों को ज्ञान प्रदान कर उनक उध्दार करना उनकी प्रवृति है। सृष्टि की ज्ञान परम्परा के वे आदि कारण माने जाते हैं। उन्ही के द्वारा ज्ञान की जाह्नवी चारों युगों में प्रवाहित होती रहती है।

सैह्याद्री पर्वत पर श्री दत्तात्रयेप्रभु ने व्याघ्रवेष में दर्शन देकर द्वारावतीकार श्रीचांगदेवराऊल को ज्ञानशक्ति प्रदान की। कालान्तर में भगवान श्री गेविन्द प्रभु ने द्वारावतीकार श्रीचांगदेवराऊल को निमित बनाकर उनसे ज्ञानशक्ति स्वीकार की। और भगवान गोविन्दप्रभु को निमित बनाकर हमने रिद्धपुर में ज्ञानशक्ति स्वीकार की। इस तरह ज्ञान की परम्परा अनवरत रूप से चलती रहती है। समय समय पर जब भी ज्ञान की परम्परा लुप्त प्राय: हो जाती है, तब तब पुन: सृष्टि में परमेश्वर अवतरित होते हैं और ज्ञान परम्परा को आगे बनाये रखने का प्रयास किया जाता है।
