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.

Leela of Deepawali - Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami have been the part of 8 Deepawali in Maharashtra

Leela of Deepawali - Sarvadnya Sh...

🙏 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 ।

Brahmavidya Shashtar: Understand this, Adopt this and finally Remember and recall all the times

Brahmavidya Shashtar: Understand ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

In any person’s mind, if there is a strong will to know the very tiny and vast theory of knowledge. Then that jeev must start the Brahmavidya Shashtar from the very beginning and with strong desire. This is the original principle of attaining the pure knowledge.

Respect the divine guru who is the medium and the part of the process, then adopt his culture, his rituals and his behaviour. Pray every day and every time to Parmeshwar. Then after, jeev is in the position to know the actual theory of knowledge, the cause behind this and the process.

Opposite to this, jeev who is full of haughtiness, involved in the other process, keeping sidestream and portraying the fake spirituality is unable to understand this theory of knowledge.

Swami Shree Chakardhara said:
मराठी: घेईजे, घोकिजे, मग काळे करौनि उपयोगा जाय | (आचार – 145)
हिंदी: प्रारंभ में इसे समझना चाहिए, अपनाना चाहिए, इसे बार बार याद करना चाहिए, फिर बादमे यही जीवन में उपयोगी सिद्ध होता है | इसलिए ज्ञान प्रपात करने के वाद उसे अवश्य याद करना चाहिए | (आचार – 145)
English: First of all understand this, then adopt this, then the latter becomes useful in life and finally remember and recall all the times.

Benefits of Chanting the Name of Shree Dattatreya Prabhu

Benefits of Chanting the Name of ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

In the recent times, since spiritual practice and the rituals of shraddha/bhagti bhawna (Rites for the deceased) are not performed as before, most people face problems due to the subtle-bodies of ancestors. Only evolved individuals can advise if there is a possibility of a problem in the future or if an existing problem is due to the subtle-bodies of deceased ancestors.

To prevent problems or to overcome a mild problem, chant ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ daily for one to two hours. At other times, to prevent problems arising out of destiny and for spiritual progress, an average individual or seeker in the primary stage should chant the Name of his Kuladevata (Family Shri) as much as is possible.

If you are not fortunate enough to be guided by an evolved individual, then inferring that inability to find a suitable marriage partner, marital disharmony, inability to conceive, miscarriages, giving birth to a premature child, giving birth to a retarded or handicapped child, deaths in childhood etc. are problems which could be due to subtle-bodies of deceased ancestors, undertake spiritual practice as advised ahead.

If the problem is moderate in nature, chant ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ along with the Name of your Kuladevata for two to four hours daily. Also, go to a Datta temple every Thursday and perform seven circumambulations, and chant one to two malas of ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ in the temple. Do this for about a year. After this, chant three malasof ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ everyday.
By chanting the Name of Shri Datta in Pitrupaksha(The dark fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapad, when rites are performed for the deceased ancestors), the onward sojourn of the ancestors is faster. Hence, during this period, chant for atleast six hours (or seventy-two malas) daily.

Tirath Sthal

Surrender everything to me, I am the God: O Arjuna: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree Dattatreya - Avadhoot Prabhu

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree D...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Dattatreya said
I have taken shelter of twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon and python; the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant and honey thief; the deer, the fish, the dancing girl Pingala, the kurari bird and the child; the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp…
Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 11: Chapter 7: Slokas 33~35
1. Prithvi (Earth) One should acquire the virtues of endurance and tolerance of duality from the earth. The Earth teaches course of Dharma, art of Tolerance, art of Performing Duty.
2. Vaayu (Air) One should be detached like the wind. The Wind being pure and odourless in its characteristics, move freely among all objects and yet remain unaffected. Calm and ever flowing without any fear.
3. Aakash (Sky) Just like the sky one should be single and steady. Like sky, the Soul is omnipresent, all-pervading, and infinite in nature.
4. Jall (Water) Just like water one should behave with affection towards all. Never be partial to anyone. The sage is like water because he is free from all impurities, gentle in nature and while speaking he creates a beautiful vibration like the flowing of water.
5. Agni (Fire) Like the fire one should behave with equality towards all. The sage's glory is like the fire, is made brighter by austerities, his knowledge and tapas; having no vessel other than his stomach.
6. Chandar (Moon) There are in all sixteen phases of the moon including the subtle phase of the new moon and the fifteen of the fortnight. Though there is waxing and waning of the moon, it remains unaffected by them. Sage should not be affected by the continual change of body from birth to death including diseases and old age.
7. Surya (Sun) The sun stores water taking the future into account and benevolently showers it on the earth at the appropriate moment. Similarly the sage can accept material things with his senses, but at the appropriate time he should give these things back, as an act from sense of duty. Without getting attached to material sense objects.
8. Kabootar (Pigeon) Like pigeon story warns against developing obsessive love or attachments in the transient material world. The sage would refrain from attachment after attaining the human body, which is the open door to Mukti (Moksha, Liberation), a door to God-Realization.
9. Ajgar (Python) Ajgar eats whatever comes in its way and satisfy, whether it is sufficient or not, bitter or sweet etc. A sage always goes for search of wisdom and refrains from running after unwanted pleasures.
10. Samudra (Ocean) One should not let anyone perceive one's virtues just as the sea keeps its length, breadth, depth and the treasures in its bed hidden from everyone. However one should always utilise them favourably, for the sake of others. The life of sage remains balanced; the joys of life do not excite him, nor do sorrows depress him. The wise sage never transgresses the highest standards of morality.
11. Patanga (Moth) Similarly a foolish man is enticed by the illusory pleasures of the visual senses and thus gets caught in the ceaseless cycles of birth and death. Man must try to control the sense of sight (and all other senses) and to try to avoid being greedy.
12. Madhu Mskhee (Honey Collector) Just as the one who collects the honey acquires it effortlessly so also a male seeker should partake of food cooked in the home of a householder instead of spending time in making a fire, collecting utensils, firewood, etc. Thus learning that accumulation of wealth leads to sudden death like the honey bee, one should stop amassing wealth.
13. Haathi (Elephant) Men allured by adulterous women are destroyed in the same way as elephants overcome with lust die fighting amongst themselves.
14. Mdhumakkhee (Bumble Bee) Just as the bumble-bee savours the fragrance of several sunflowers instead of one so also seekers desirous of Liberation should realise that every science will not be easy to grasp and hence should try to understand their implied meaning.
15. Hiran (Musk Deer) The deer is very fond of music and is very much attracted by it. The deer is trapped by hunter through its love for music. Hunter employs music to lure the deer before hunting it. A renounced person should never become attracted by mundane sounds like sensuous music, specially the sweet singing and dancing of girl.
16. Machli (Fish) When a fish-hook fastened with bait is thrown into the water, the fish lured by the bait swallows the hook and gets caught. Thus it loses its life. So one should never lose sight of his True Self.
17. Pingala (A Dancing Girl) One night despite a long wait not a single client approached her. As she restlessly waited pacing up and down, hoping for a client she was finally bored and suddenly developed detachment. The abandonment of expectation from people, leads to contentment and infinite joy.
18. Pakshee (Lapwing) Seeing the lapwing fly with a fish in its beak hundreds of crows and eagles began chasing it, pecking at it and tried to snatch the fish, thus harassing it. This flock began following it wherever it went. In this world there is peace only if sense objects are rejected, otherwise it leads to great distress.
19. Balak (Child) Live like being child at heart, innocent, care free and full of Supreme Joy.
20. Churiyaan (Bangles) When two bangles strike each other a jingling sound is generated. The more the bangles the greater is the sound. Similarly when two persons live together it leads to conversation and when many persons live together there is strife. In both circumstances there is no peace of mind. Hence those doing meditation, yoga, etc. should search for an isolated place and live there in seclusion.
21. Shilpkar (Artisan) One day an artisan was chiselling the blade of an arrow with great concentration. A king's procession to the accompaniment of music passed by that way. A man arriving later approached the artisan and enquired, “Have you seen the king's procession passing by this way, just now?” The artisan replied, “I was so engrossesd in my work that I was not aware of anything”. Just like this artisan a seeker desirous of Liberation (mumukshu) should meditate surrendering all his sense organs to The Lord.
22. Saanp (Snake) The snake lives alone and avoids the company of other creatures. In order to seek Self-Realization, one should abide in the cave of his own heart. The snake leaves of its old skin after sometime, and gets the newer one; that make resemblance with phenomenon of death. A true sage never frightened by the death, knowing sooner or later he will get a new life based on his karmic actions.
23. Makadi (Spider) The spider spins a web secreting a fluid from its belly and plays in it day and night. When it feels like it, it swallows the entire web and becomes free again. Lord Supreme creates material universe from His Maya, preserves it and after a while draws it back into the Self. The Supreme Self has no desires and is beyond the reach of cause and effect.
24. Bhringee Keet (Caterpillar, Wasp) The wasp catches hold of a worm (caterpillar), put it in its hive (nest), gives it a sting and goes on buzzing about it. The caterpillar is so frightened by this whole ongoing process of buzzing. As a man thinks, so he becomes. Even at the time of death, whatever one's mind focused on, one attains the same living species form in his next life.
Thus one must try to give up all attachment to the body and attain Moksha or liberation.
Shree Dattatreya explains what he has learned from his own body as a Guru My Body teaches me Gyaan (knowledge) and Vairaagya (detachment). Birth and death are along with it. It means that if we hold on to this body then we have to bear sorrows. Although it helps to think about Tattwa (elements) still I never consider it mine.

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar avatar of Mahanubhav Pantha

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Ubhaydarshi avatar having relation with any of the inertness and the place are sacred. These sacred place and objects have the two special forces 1. Maya Samarthya Shakti and 2. Kripa Shakti. In the Sathan the Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) is President and the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) is Subsidiary. But where the blessing of the god is present, where the Parmeshwar avatar (Ubhaydarshi avatar) have taken the stand for the sufficient days are having the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) as President and Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) as Subsidiary.

Classifications of Sthan
Since the Parmeshwara avatar is having the numbers of competency, but the major one is Kripa Shakti and Kripa Shakti develops at own. The places and the Sathans are divided according to the categories of time. The time spent by the Parmeshawar avatar on the places make them the sacred places and the Sathan. In our Mahanubhav Pantha the Sathan is the one of the most sacred thing.

Aasan Sthan – आसनस्थान
The sthan where the Parmeshwar avatar have taken rest for few hours. Hours may vary from 5 to 7 hours. This is the first type of Sthan. Sthan is blessed with the powers of the Parmeshwar Shakti. Making pilgrimage of the Sthan’s is the culture of Mahanubhav Pantha.

Charan Chari – चरणचारि
Places where the Parmeshwar avatar have been standing without the slippers and the wooden Paduka (पादुका). There might be reasons behind this, but the footprints and the places is very sacred for the Mahanubhav Panth.

Vasti Sthan – वसति स्थान
Prameshwar avatar are always on the way to help people to attain Moksha and set them free from their sins and previous Karmas. In between the time, they have taken rest for one night. This makes the Sathan as Vasti Sthan. Our Panch avatar’s are always flowing from one to another place.

Kudi Vasti – कुड़ी वसति
Kudi Vasti is similar to the Vasti Sthan, the difference is that in the Vasti Sthan the time period is only one night, but the Kudi Vasti is having the one day two nights or two day two nights. This is how the Vasti Sthan and Kudi Vasti are different.

Sthan – स्थान
Sthan, now here we come with the same thing but the different time period. Here the Parmeshwar avatar have slept for there to five days. The place is more sacred as compare to the Kudi Vasti. Sthan is the most common word used, but the Sthans are divided too.

Avasthan – अवस्थान
Avasthan, here we have the time period of five to nine days. Here the Parmeshwar avatar blessed the sacred place with more presence.

Mahasthan – महास्थान
Mahasthan, finally this is the last and the most blessed sacred place. The time period is more than the nine days, this might be 1 month, 2 months, 6 months and even in the years. The Mahasthan is where the Parmeshwar avatar have been living and making the people aware about the Bliss (Moksha) and ways to attain Moksha.

॥ जय सर्वज्ञ श्री चक्रधर ॥

बिना भाग्य जो वस्तु ईश्वर अवतार देते है वह लिला ज्ञान कहलाता है।
अवतार के सम्बन्ध से जो फल प्राप्त होता है वह सम्बन्ध दान कहलाता है।
जीवो के कर्मों को ग्रहण कर उन्हे सीघ्रता से भुगवाने को ग्रहणा दान कहते है।
और ईश्वर स्वरूप की प्राप्ती होना यह कैवल्य दान कहते है।
ईस प्रकार ईश्वर की ओर से ये चार प्रकार के दान दिये जाते है।

वज्री की लीला

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
बेलापुर के आदित्य मंदिर का आँगन। प्रातःकाल का समय। महदाइसा को कुछ घिसने की आवाज़ सुनाई पड़ती है। उत्सुकता से भर वह बाहर आकर देखती है।

क्या देखती है कि सर्वज्ञ श्रीचक्रधर स्वामी दोनों श्रीचरणों में टिकाए एक पत्थर पर एक काले रंग की ईंट (वज्री) को घिस रहे हैं। अपने उत्तरीय से वे अपना शीर्ष ढंके हुए हैं। अंगिए की बाँहें उन्होंने ऊपर की हुई हैं।

कुतूहल से भर महदाइसा निकट आ खड़ी होती है। चुपचाप। स्वामीजी व्यस्त हैं। उनके मस्तक पर पसीने की बूँदें उभर आई हैं। सूर्य की किरणें उन पर पड़ रही हैं।

महदाइसा को कुछ समझ नहीं आती कि स्वामीजी क्या कर रहे हैं? वह जाती है और जाकर नागदेव को बुला लाती है।

कुछ घिस जाने पर स्वामीजी उस वज्री को उलटपलट कर देखते हैं। सही हो गई कि नहीं? सही न पा उसे फिर घिसने लगते हैं।

जब महदाइसा-नागदेव को कुछ समझ नहीं पड़ा तो उनसे रहा नहीं गया। महदाइसा ने तन्मयता भंग करते पूछ ही लिया, 'जी जी: यह आप क्या कर रहे हैं?' पीछे मुड़ स्वामीजी बोले, 'बाई, यह हमने एक वज्री गढ़ी है!

वज्री अर्थात् वारितुरंग। जल में तैरनेवाला घोड़ा, जो पानी से घिरे द्वीप में रहता है और उसमें तैर लेता है। डूबता नहीं। उसे वारितुरंग कहते हैं। उसी की तरह हमने अपने हाथों यह वज्री गढ़ी है। यह सदा पानी में तैरती रहेगी। कभी डूबेगी नहीं।

यह कहते स्वामीजी ने वह वज्री सामने करते दोनों को दिखाई

बरसों बाद महदाइसा ने इसी अनुपम लीला का स्मरण करतेकरते नौगाँव में अपने अंतिम श्वास छोड़े।

ऐसा दृढ़ विश्वास है कि इस लीला का नित्य स्मरण जीव को अवश्यमेव इस संसार-सागर से पार करा देता है। जन्ममरण के चक्र से मुक्त करा देता है।

प्रतिदिन प्रातःकाल के स्मरण में इस फलदायक लीला को अवश्य अपने ध्यान में लाएँ।

सर्वज्ञ श्रीचक्रधर स्वामी की सदा ही जय हो!
।। श्रीचक्रधरार्पणम् ।।

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

भगवान श्री कृष्ण जी को छप्पन भोग ...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

भगवान को लगाए जाने वाले भोग की बड़ी महिमा है। इनके लिए 56 प्रकार के व्यंजन परोसे जाते हैं, जिसे छप्पन भोग कहा जाता है। यह भोग रसगुल्ले से शुरू होकर दही, चावल, पूरी, पापड़ आदि से होते हुए इलायची पर जाकर खत्म होता है।
अष्ट पहर भोजन करने वाले बालकृष्ण भगवान को अर्पित किए जाने वाले छप्पन भोग के पीछे कई रोचक कथाएं हैं।

भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गोवर्धन पर्वत को उठाया:
ऐसा भी कहा जाता है कि यशोदाजी बालकृष्ण को एक दिन में अष्ट पहर भोजन कराती थी। अर्थात् बालकृष्ण आठ बार भोजन करते थे। जब इंद्र के प्रकोप से सारे व्रज को बचाने के लिए भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गोवर्धन पर्वत को उठाया था, तब लगातार सात दिन तक भगवान ने अन्न जल ग्रहण नहीं किया।
आठवे दिन जब भगवान ने देखा कि अब इंद्र की वर्षा बंद हो गई है, सभी व्रजवासियो को गोवर्धन पर्वत से बाहर निकल जाने को कहा, तब दिन में आठ प्रहर भोजन करने वाले व्रज के नंदलाल कन्हैया का लगातार सात दिन तक भूखा रहना उनके व्रज वासियों और मया यशोदा के लिए बड़ा कष्टप्रद हुआ। भगवान के प्रति अपनी अन्न्य श्रद्धा भक्ति दिखाते हुए सभी व्रजवासियो सहित यशोदा जी ने 7 दिन और अष्ट पहर के हिसाब से 7X8= 56 व्यंजनो का भोग बाल कृष्ण को लगाया।

गोपिकाओं ने भेंट किए छप्पन भोग:
श्रीमद्भागवत के अनुसार, गोपिकाओं ने एक माह तक यमुना में भोर में ही न केवल स्नान किया, अपितु कात्यायनी मां की अर्चना भी इस मनोकामना से की, कि उन्हें नंदकुमार ही पति रूप में प्राप्त हों। श्रीकृष्ण ने उनकी मनोकामना पूर्ति की सहमति दे दी। व्रत समाप्ति और मनोकामना पूर्ण होने के उपलक्ष्य में ही उद्यापन स्वरूप गोपिकाओं ने छप्पन भोग का आयोजन किया।
छप्पन भोग हैं छप्पन सखियां ऐसा भी कहा जाता है कि गौलोक में भगवान श्रीकृष्ण राधिका जी के साथ एक दिव्य कमल पर विराजते हैं। उस कमल की तीन परतें होती हैं…प्रथम परत में “आठ”, दूसरी में “सोलह” और तीसरी में “बत्तीस पंखुड़िया” होती हैं। प्रत्येक पंखुड़ी पर एक प्रमुख सखी और मध्य में भगवान विराजते हैं। इस तरह कुल पंखुड़ियों संख्या छप्पन होती है। 56 संख्या का यही अर्थ है।

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण 🙏
