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.

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.

🌸 Namo Panch Krishna Avatar

There were only five, because these avatars fell in the Guru Parampara. Govindaprabhu was the guru of Shree Chakradhar Swami. Shree Chakrapani Prabhu was the guru of Shree Govindaprabhu. Shree Dattatreya Prabhu was the guru of Shree Chakrapani Prabhu. Shree Dattatreya Prabhu and Shree Krishna are not said to have another avatar as Guru.

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji said B...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

It is very necessary to remember and recall the name of Prabhu ji according to the rituals as explained in the Bhramvidya Shashtra. Take the silent place and do the smaran there. While remembering the Prabhu ji, you must be directly associated to the god. Try to remember the way in which you can actually feel the things happening during that time. Flashback the things as they are going now.

It is proven that Smaran is the only way to get closer to the ultimate spirit called Lord. While doing the smaran, remember that your posture must be straight and your eyes must be half closed and pointing towards straight. Buzz in the little louder sound, such that your body can feel the positive vibes of that word. The best time to do the smaran is in-between 03:00AM to 06:00AM.

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji usually says “Wake early in the morning” - “पश्चात प्रहरी उठीजे”
A leela associated to the Shree Chakardhara Swami Ji:
While proceeding to the north direction, all the pantha members were very sad and they asked Prabhu ji in very sad, depressed and weeping tone “Swami, where we will go in your remembrance. How do we do it?”

Then Swami ji replied: Naam, Leela and Murti Cheshta, remembring the lord in these way and doing the Seva-Dasya-Bhajan-Pujan of these four means Sthan-Prasad-Bhikshuk-Vasnik you can outreach me. After giving direction Prabhuji appointed Nagdev Aacharya for the Seva of Panhta (Mahanubhav Pantha) and leaved for the north.

5000 years ago in the battlefield...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

The Divine song I love the most of Supreme Lord Krishna which everyone must remember. Bhagvad means God & Gita means Song. So it is song of divine himself. 5000 years ago in the battlefield of Kurukshetra Prabhu Shree Krishna himself sang the greatest philophical song for all humankind. And its not the first time he sang it billions of years ago he sang it to sun god vivasana.

ईश्वरीय गीत मुझे सबसे ज्यादा प्रिय है सर्वोच्च भगवान कृष्ण जो कि हर किसी को याद होने चाहिए। भगवद् का अर्थ है भगवान और गीता का अर्थ है गीत। इसलिए यह स्वयं परमात्मा का गीत है। 5000 साल पहले कुरुक्षेत्र के युद्ध के मैदान में स्वयं प्रभु श्री कृष्ण ने सभी मानव जाति के लिए सबसे बड़ा फिलोफिकल गीत गाया था। और यह पहली बार नहीं है जब उन्होंने इसे अरबों साल पहले गाया था, उन्होंने इसे सूर्य देवता के लिए गाया था।

The reason Krishna comes to the material world is specifically to re-establish the real purpose of life when mankind in general has forgotten this purpose. Krishna is very merciful to us, it is out of His mercy that He spoke the Bhagavad-gita, making His friend Arjuna the first student.

कृष्ण भौतिक दुनिया में आने का कारण विशेष रूप से जीवन के वास्तविक उद्देश्य को फिर से स्थापित करना है जब सामान्य रूप से मानव जाति इस उद्देश्य को भूल गई है। कृष्ण हमारे लिए बहुत दयालु हैं, यह उनकी दया से बाहर है कि उन्होंने भगवद् गीता बोली, अपने दोस्त अर्जुन को पहला छात्र बनाया।

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

Mahasthan Sarpadwaypathan Sthan, ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Mahasthan Sarpadwaypathan Sthan (Wadner-Bhujang) सर्पद्वयपतन स्थान (वडनेर-भुजंग) as all of the Mahanuvhava Panth members know that Sarpadwaypathan Sthan is the one of the Mahasthan in our culture. Sarpadwaypathan Sthan is at the north direction of the Anjangaon – Kakada road at Wadner-Bhujang village. The leela is explained below.

Bhagwan Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji came from Achapur town via Katesokarne to Wadner village. Swami Ji came here at evening time. Sawami Ji was going to Wateshwar temple to have a sleep. At the same time, the Priest was returning from the temple after the worship. The Priest told Sarvadnya that the temple has been locked to save the ornaments from the theft, so he asked Sarvadnya that he can sleep at the Uttareshwar temple opposite side of the road.

So Swami Ji came at this temple. There were 2 snakes living at the temple who were bitter enemies to each other. At mid night, when Sarvadnya was in between sleep snakes were fighting with each other. Suddenly both of them had fallen on Swami Ji’s chest while fighting with each other. Then Sarvadnya held those 2 snakes in both the hands and make them apart by throwing the Snake at right side to the left and the snake at Left side to the Right. Since that time, those 2 snakes stayed there leaving all the hate and disputes. At this Mahasthan temple, there is a beautiful idol of Sarvandnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji holding the two snakes in both the hands.

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Temple:
▫️ Sarpadway Patan Sthan, Anjangaon - Kakada Road,
▫️ Village: Wadner-Bhujang, Block: Achalpur,
▫️ District: Amravati, State: Maharashtra, India

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita one of the holy books of Hinduism. Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita is written thousands of years ago consists of 18 chapters. It is the samvad of Lord Shree Krishna and the Dhanusdhardi Arjuna. Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita is freely offering this presentation of Sri Mad Bhagavad Gita to the Earth as a gift to humanity. The date of the Kurukshetra war and the delivery of Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna by Sri Krishna are supposed to be around 3139 BCE.
There are three paths which lead directly to establishing a relationship with God. According to the authority of Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita these paths have been designated as
1. The yoga of perfect actions.
2. The yoga of perfect devotion.
3. The yoga of perfect knowledge.

Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita text is organized in twelve Skandhas (books) subdivided into 332 Adhyayas (chapters), and has between 16,000 to 18,000 verses, depending on the manuscript version. Of the 12 books, it is the 10th book with about 4,000 verses that has been the most popular, studied and recognized. The text asserts that it is Krishna in literary form.
Each chapter is called a yoga. Yoga is the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness. So each chapter is a highly specialized yoga revealing the path of attaining realization of the Ultimate Truth. The first six chapters have been classified as the Karma Yoga section as they mainly deal with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness through actions.

These chapters are:

Lord Shree Krishna choosen Arjuna...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Krishna give knowledge of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to Arjuna because there were many reasons.

Context of the Kurukshetra War: The Gita is set on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna, a warrior prince, is filled with doubt and moral confusion about fighting in the war against his own relatives and teachers. Krishna's guidance is aimed at helping him navigate this crisis.

Preparedness to Learn: Arjuna's willingness to seek guidance and his openness to Krishna's teachings demonstrate his readiness to receive such profound knowledge. He acknowledges his confusion and seeks help, which is a prerequisite for spiritual learning.

Arjuna's Role: As a key figure in the Mahabharata, Arjuna embodies the struggles of duty (dharma) and righteousness. His internal conflict serves as a universal metaphor for the dilemmas faced by individuals in life.

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami -...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami, born in Gujarat, Karmabhumi in Maharashtra, the divine light of Sri Chakradhar Swami sustained Sanatan Dharma at a difficult time in Indian history by spiritual galvanization & healing of the Indic society at large. Temples in his honour existed even in Afghanistan at one time.

There are three paths which lead directly to establishing a relationship with God. According to the authority of Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita these paths have been designated as
Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami told his disciples that the lord takes avatars in all four yugas. Same was said by Shree Krishna Prabhu in Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”

Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when an avatar is absent. But he told of only five of the innumerable avatars, namely: Shri Krishna, Shri Dattatreya Prabhu, Shri Chakrapani Prabhu, Shri Govindaprabhu, and Sarvadnya Shri Chakrdhar Swami (himself). Even knowing of one avatar, and walking on the path lightened by him, can lead to the ultimate bliss (moksha). There were only five, because these avatars fell in the Guru Parampara. Govindaprabhu was the guru of Shri Chakradhar Swami. Shri Chakrapani Prabhu was the guru of Shri Govindaprabhu. Shri Dattatreya Prabhu was the guru of Shri Chakrapani Prabhu. Shri Dattatreya Prabhu and Shri Krishna are not said to have another avatar as Guru.”

About Shree Chakradhar Swami
Haripaldeva was born at Bharavas (Bharuch,present day Gujarat) as the son of a king named Vishaldeva & his queen Mhalani devi. Haripaldeva died due to fever at the age of twenty at which point, a widely believed reincarnation of lord krishna named Shri Chakrapani Prabhu from Phaltan entered the dead body of Haripaldeva after which he revived. The thus reborn Haripaldeva was a greatly changed personality who would become known as Shree Chakradhar Swami.

Contribution of the Mahanubhav Panth to Marathi Literature
Sri Chakradhar Swami’s biography “Leela Charitra” written by his disciple Mahimbhatta is one of the first known works in Marathi literature; Also, Mahdaaisa, one of pant’s earlier devotees is considered to be the first Marathi poetess. One of the most important aspects of the philosophy propounded by him is asceticism. His fourfold teachings are: Non Violence, Celibacy, Asceticism and Bhakti.

Literature
Leela Charitra: Leela Charitra is thought to be the first biography written in the Marathi language. Mahimbhat’s second important literacy creation was Shri Govindaprabhucharitra or Rudhipurcharitra, a biography of Swami’s guru, Shri Govind Prabhu, in the form of 325 deeds. This was probably written in 1288, soon after the death of Shri Prabhu.
Satigranth: It was Nagadeva who systematized Mahanubhava. Mahadamba was a leading poetess of the movement. Besides Leelacharitra, Keshobas alias Keshavrajsuri has collected the Swami aphoristic vachans or actually spoken words, known as Sutrapath which is always on the lips of the follower of Mahanubhav.
Keshavrajsuri translated the some of “deeds” from Leelacharitra into Sanskrit in his work called “Ratnamala”. Similarly he has written in Sanskrit Dristantstotarm based on Dristantpath. The first Acharya of Mahanubhava Sect is Nagdevachrya or Bhatobas. His biography was written by Narendra and Bhaidevbas in about 1308.

There are seven works which have been written are known as satigranth and they are accepted by the followers of the sect. These are:

Narendra : Rukaminiswayamvara (1292)
Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Shishupalvadha (1312)
Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Uddhavgita (1313)
Damodar Pandit : Vachhaharana (1316)
Ravalobas : Sahayadrivaranana (1353)
Narayanbas Bahahaliye : Riddhipurvarnana (1418)
Vishvanath Balapurkar : Janaprabodh (1418)

कुम्भार बोला मुझे चौरासी लाख यानि...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

प्रभु श्री कृष्ण ने गोपियों के साथ बहुत-सी लीलायें की हैं। श्री कृष्ण गोपियों की मटकी फोड़ते और माखन चुराते और गोपियाँ श्री कृष्ण का उलाहना लेकर यशोदा मैया के पास जातीं। ऐसा बहुत बार हुआ।
एक बार की बात है कि यशोदा मैया प्रभु श्री कृष्ण के उलाहनों से तंग आ गयीं और छड़ी लेकर श्री कृष्ण की ओर दौड़ी। जब प्रभु ने अपनी मैया को क्रोध में देखा तो वह अपना बचाव करने के लिए भागने लगे।
भागते-भागते श्री कृष्ण एक कुम्भार के पास पहुँचे। कुम्भार तो अपने मिट्टी के घड़े बनाने में व्यस्त था। लेकिन जैसे ही कुम्भार ने श्री कृष्ण को देखा तो वह बहुत प्रसन्न हुआ। कुम्भार जानता था कि श्री कृष्ण साक्षात् परमेश्वर हैं। तब प्रभु ने कुम्भार से कहा कि ‘कुम्भार जी, आज मेरी मैया मुझ पर बहुत क्रोधित है। मैया छड़ी लेकर मेरे पीछे आ रही है। भैया, मुझे कहीं छुपा लो।’
तब कुम्भार ने श्री कृष्ण को एक बडे से मटके के नीचे छिपा दिया। कुछ ही क्षणों में मैया यशोदा भी वहाँ आ गयीं और कुम्भार से पूछने लगी – ‘क्यूँ रे, कुम्भार! तूने मेरे कन्हैया को कहीं देखा है, क्या?’
कुम्भार ने कह दिया – ‘नहीं, मैया! मैंने कन्हैया को नहीं देखा।’ श्री कृष्ण ये सब बातें बडे से घड़े के नीचे छुपकर सुन रहे थे। मैया तो वहाँ से चली गयीं। अब प्रभु श्री कृष्ण कुम्भार से कहते हैं – ‘कुम्भार जी, यदि मैया चली गयी हो तो मुझे इस घड़े से बाहर निकालो।’
कुम्भार बोला – ‘ऐसे नहीं, प्रभु जी! पहले मुझे चौरासी लाख यानियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दो।’ भगवान मुस्कुराये और कहा – ‘ठीक है, मैं तुम्हें चौरासी लाख योनियों से मुक्त करने का वचन देता हूँ। अब तो मुझे बाहर निकाल दो।’
कुम्भार कहने लगा – ‘मुझे अकेले नहीं, प्रभु जी! मेरे परिवार के सभी लोगों को भी चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दोगे तो मैं आपको इस घड़े से बाहर निकालूँगा।’
प्रभु जी कहते हैं – ‘चलो ठीक है, उनको भी चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त होने का मैं वचन देता हूँ। अब तो मुझे घड़े से बाहर निकाल दो ।’
अब कुम्भार कहता है – ‘बस, प्रभु जी! एक विनती और है। उसे भी पूरा करने का वचन दे दो तो मैं आपको घड़े से बाहर निकाल दूँगा।’
भगवान बोले – ‘वो भी बता दे, क्या कहना चाहते हो?’
कुम्भार कहने लगा – ‘प्रभु जी! जिस घड़े के नीचे आप छुपे हो, उसकी मिट्टी मेरे बैलों के ऊपर लाद के लायी गयी है। मेरे इन बैलों को भी चौरासी के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दो।’
भगवान ने कुम्भार के प्रेम पर प्रसन्न होकर उन बैलों को भी चौरासी के बन्धन से मुक्त होने का वचन दिया।’
प्रभु बोले – ‘अब तो तुम्हारी सब इच्छा पूरी हो गयी, अब तो मुझे घड़े से बाहर निकाल दो।’
तब कुम्भार कहता है – ‘अभी नहीं, भगवन! बस, एक अन्तिम इच्छा और है। उसे भी पूरा कर दीजिये और वो ये है – जो भी प्राणी हम दोनों के बीच के इस संवाद को सुनेगा, उसे भी आप चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करोगे। बस, यह वचन दे दो तो मैं आपको इस घड़े से बाहर निकाल दूँगा।’
कुम्भार की प्रेम भरी बातों को सुन कर प्रभु श्री कृष्ण बहुत खुश हुए और कुम्भार की इस इच्छा को भी पूरा करने का वचन दिया।
फिर कुम्भार ने बाल श्री कृष्ण को घड़े से बाहर निकाल दिया। उनके चरणों में साष्टांग प्रणाम किया। प्रभु जी के चरण धोये और चरणामृत पीया। अपनी पूरी झोंपड़ी में चरणामृत का छिड़काव किया और प्रभु जी के गले लगकर इतना रोये क़ि प्रभु में ही विलीन हो गये।
जरा सोच करके देखिये, जो बाल श्री कृष्ण सात कोस लम्बे-चौड़े गोवर्धन पर्वत को अपनी इक्क्नी अंगुली पर उठा सकते हैं, तो क्या वो एक घड़ा नहीं उठा सकते थे।
लेकिन बिना प्रेम रीझे नहीं नटवर नन्द किशोर। कोई कितने भी यज्ञ करे, अनुष्ठान करे, कितना भी दान करे, चाहे कितनी भी भक्ति करे, लेकिन जब तक मन में प्राणी मात्र के लिए प्रेम नहीं होगा, प्रभु श्री कृष्ण मिल नहीं सकते।
।। हरी व्यापक सर्वत्र समाना ।।
।। प्रेम से प्रकट होई मैं जाना ।।
मोहन प्रेम बिना नहीं मिलता, चाहे कोई कर ल्यो कोटि उपाय।
करोड़ों उपाय भी चाहे कोई कर लो तो प्रभु को प्रेम के बिना कोई पा नहीं सकता।

नृत्य देखना

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
एक दिन भगवान श्रीचक्रधर स्वामीजी चांगदेव मंदिरके पिछले हिस्सेमें बैठे थे। उतनेमें एक नर्तक मंडली वहाँ नृत्य करने आ पहुँची। उनमेंसे एक स्त्री वस्त्र बदलने जब मंदिरके पीछे आयी, तो उसने वहाँ भगवानको विराजमान देखा। वह भगवानके असीम सौंदर्यपर मनोमुग्ध हो आत्मविस्मृत-सी हुई निर्निमेष दृष्टिसे उनकी ओर टुकुरटुकुर ताकती रही। जब काफी देर बाद भी वह वापस न आयी, तो दूसरे नर्तक भी उसे खोजते खोजते वहाँ जमा हो गये और भगवानके देदीप्यमान सौंदर्यको देख अपनी सुधबुध खो बैठे। उनको अपने पास एकत्रित हुआ देख भगवानने उनसे कहा, 'आप सब अंदर चलकर नृत्यकी तैयारी करो, हम वहीं आते हैं।'
भगवानके इन शब्दोंसे उनकी तंद्रा टूटी, तो उन्होंने अपनेआपको विमोहितसा पाया। उनकी आज्ञानुसार वे सब मंदिर में जाकर नृत्यकी तैयारीमें लग गये। थोड़ी देर बाद भगवान भी मंदिरमें जा पहुँचे। सबने भगवानको अपनीअपनी कला दिखायी। भगवानने सबकी कलाकी भूरिभूरि प्रशंसा की तथा उन्हें प्रसाद रूप में पान खिलाये। जानेसे पूर्व उन्होंने कहा, 'महाराज, आपकी श्रीमुर्तिके दर्शनसे हमें बड़ा आनंद प्राप्त हुआ है। ऐसा आनंद, जिसको हम शब्दोंमें व्यक्त नहीं कर सकते। आजकल तो कलाका कोई सच्चा पारखी है ही नहीं। आपने हमें जो प्रोत्साहन दिया है, उससे भी हमें बड़ा बल मिला है।'
एक दूसरी नर्तकीने आगे बढ़कर प्रार्थना की, 'महाराज, यदि आपको कष्ट न हो, तो भोजन करने आप हमारे यहाँ ही चलें।'
प्रत्युत्तरमें भगवानने कहा, 'हमें आज कहीं अन्यत्र आमंत्रण है, इसलिये तुम्हारे साथ नहीं चल सकते। हाँ, फिर कभी तुम्हारे अनुरोधको हम जरूर पूर्ण करेंगे।'
सबके चले जानेपर भगवान भी अपने निवास स्थानपर लौट आये।

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
नियमानुसार एक दिन आश्रमकी देखभाल आउसा कर रही थी। एक कुत्तेको आया देखकर उसने उसे पत्थर मारा। पत्थर लगते ही कुत्ता चिल्लाता हुआ पूँछ दबाकर बाहरकी ओर भाग गया। कुत्तेका रोना था कि उधर भगवान दोनों हाथोंमें अपना मस्तक थामकर बैठ गये।
भगवानको श्रीमुकुट थामे देख आउसाका रंग उड गया। वह भागकर उनके पास जा पहुँची। उसने अकुलाकर खिन्न मनसे पूछा - 'महाराज! मैंने मारा तो कुत्तेको है, आप कयों मस्तक थामकर बैठ गये हैं ?'
भगवानने समझाया - 'आउसा ! ईश्वरस्वरूप सर्वत्र व्यापक है। किसी जीव पर किये प्रहारका इसीलिये वह अनुभव करता है। तुमने उस प्राणीको पत्थर मारा, उसकी पीड़ा हमें हुई, इसीलिए हमने मस्तक थाम लिया।' फिर उन्होंने कुछ थमकर पूछा - 'बताओ तो तुमने उसे मारा कयों है ?'
आउसाने उत्तर दिया, 'महाराज! कल यही कुत्ता नागदेवके भिक्षान्नकी झोली उठा ले गया था। आज यह पुनः कुछ उठानेकी नीयतसे आया था। यदि मैं इसे न मारती, तो यह अवश्य ही आज भी कुछ ले भागता। अतः मैंने उसे समुचित दंड दिया है , तो कोई अपराध नहीं किया।'
भगवानने कहा, 'आउसा ! मनुष्यके समान इसे पकाकर खिलानेवाला तो कोई है नहीं, जहाँ जाकर यह आरामसे खायेगा। इस बेचारेने तो इसी तरह घूम-फिरकर पेट भरना है। तुम अपनी चीजोंको सम्भालकर रखो, उसके लिए इसे क्यों दंडित करती हो ? यह तो खुद तुम्हारा दोष है। इस तरह वस्तुओंको असुरक्षित रखोगी, तो यह तो मुँह मारेगा ही।'
भगवानके उदात्त विचारोंके आगे आउसा नतमस्तक हो गई और उसने *अपने अपराधकी क्षमा माँगकर पुनः वैसा न करनेकी प्रतिज्ञा ली।

ज्ञान शक्ती स्वीकार

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

इधर श्री चक्रपाणी माहुर को आ गये, शके 1080 (इ.स.1158) उमर के 30 वे वर्ष माहुर मेँ श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु से मिलने के लिये, क्योकी भगवान को अवतार शक्ती स्वीकार कार्य करना था। लोग माहुर के गड (शिखर) पर चढणे लगे, श्री चक्रपाणी भी यात्रीओँ के पीछे अंतर रखकर चढ रहे थे, तभी अचानक एक जाली मेँ से (श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु) वाघ के रुप मेँ आरोगना करके आ गये, यात्रीगण इधर उधर भागने लगे पर श्री चक्रपाणी महाराज वही एक खडक पर बैँठ गये, और श्री चक्रपाणी प्रभु श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु के (वाघ) सामने बैठ कर नमस्कार कीया, तभी वाघने (श्री दत्तात्रेय प्रभु) श्री चक्रपाणी के सर पर पंजा रखकर उभय शक्ती प्रदान की, श्री चक्रपाणी राऊळ ने ज्ञान शक्ती का स्वीकार किया उसमेँ “पराशक्ती” के आच्छादन करके अवर शक्ती के कार्य सुरु कीये।

प्रातः काल का पूजा अवसर हो जाने क...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
एक दिन भगवान जी प्रातः काल का पूजा अवसर हो जाने के बाद छिन्नस्थली विहरण के लिए गए! वहां से सिंह नारायण के मंदिर में आकर आसन पर बैठे! इतने में ही इन्द्रभट्ट आए और सम्मुख बैठ गए! उन्हें भोजन के लिए नियंत्रण देना था किंतु याद ही नहीं रहा! आसमान में बादल देखते ही महाराज ने संकेत किया कि इन्द्रभट्ट तुम शीघ्र अपने घोगर गांव चले जाओ अन्यथा भीग जाओगे!

इन्द्रभट्ट बचते हुए जैसे ही गांव पहुंचे वैसे ही बारिश शुरू हो गई! इधर भक्तजन कपड़े का चंदोवा बना कर भगवान जी के ऊपर लगा चलने लगे! कभी जानबूझ कर लीला के हेतु से महाराज पीछे रह जाते तो कभी आगे निकल आते! जब तक भक्तजन चांदोवा आगे पीछे करते तब तक महाराज भीग जाते! इस प्रकार उनके वस्त्र गीले देख रेइनायक के घर से दूसरे वस्त्र मंगवाए गए! सभी भक्तों ने भी राजमठ वापिस लौट कर दूसरे वस्त्र धारण किए!

बोलिए श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी की जय
।। श्रीचक्रधरार्पणम् ।।
