Why we serve 56 types of cuisines...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Why we serve 56 types of cuisines to Lord Shree Krishna.
Great glory is behind this. For these 56 types of cuisines, the fifty-six is called enjoyment. The enjoyment starts with yoghurt dumplings, rice, whole, papad and this ends with the last element of bhog as cardamom. It is also said that Maiya Yashoda Ji use to serve eight times food in a day to the Bala Krishna. Here is the story of the 56 type of cuisines bhog or 56 bhog.

To protect the Govardhana parvat from the wrath of Indra, Lord Shree Krishna lifted up the Govardhana for the seven consecutive days without the food and water. Shree Krishna just stood beneath the Parvat and all the people of the village are under the parvat. On eight day, when Lord Shree Krishna said, rain is over now you can go outside. All the people of the village are feeling sad for the thing that Bal Krishna survived for the 7 days without any food for the sake of villages. They are speechless and overwhelmed with the feeling towards Bala Krishna. Then the Maiya Yasodha and the villagers just decided to make happy Lord Krishna with the 56 bhogs and show their love to the lord.

The logic behind the 56 bhog is:
7 Days and 8 times food serving in a day (7 day X 8 times bhog = 56 bhog)
According to Shrimad Bhagwat Githa, Gopikaon does not only dawn to bathe in the Yamuna, even they desired to receive the husband like the Nand Kumar Bala Krishna. Lord Krishna consented to the fulfillment of their wishes. To mark the end of fasting and wishes to complete, the served the Lord with 56 bhog.
There are 6 bhog and 56 Sakhian enjoyment… It is also said that Lord Krishna and Radhika are living on a sacred lotus in Gulok. Behind the speciality of rose, there is a fact also. The first layer consists of three layers of lotus “eight”, the second in “sixteen” and third in “thirty-two petals”. On the each petal there is a Sakhi residing and in the middle of these petals lord is residing. Thus the total number of petals is 56. This is the meaning of the number 56.

1. भक्त (भात)	2. सूप (दाल)	3. प्रलेह (चटनी)	4. सदिका (कढ़ी)

Leela of Lord Krishna with Kumbar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

As all of us know. Lord Krishna did numbers of Leelayen with the Gopis. Krishna steal butter churn from Gopiya and Gopiya do complaint with Maiya Yasodha. It has happened many times. Still Lord Krishna continue in his way.

Once upon a time Yashoda Maiya were fed with the complaints of Lord Krishna and she ran behind the lord with a stick. When the Lord saw her in anger, Prabhu ran to his rescue.

LeelaThen prabhu ji came to a Potter(Kumbar), Kumbar was busy making a pitcher of their soil. But as soon Kumbar saw Lord Krishna, he is very to have this opportunity. Kumbar knew that Shree Krishna is the universal god. Then Prabhu ji said to Kumbar “My mother is very angry on me today, Maiya is coming after me with a rod. Brother, let me hide somewhere.”

Then, Kumbar hided the Lord under a big pot. Maiya Yashoda came, there were a few moments and asked Kumbar and said – “Why, Kumbar! You’ve seen Kanhaiya somewhere?” Kumbar has said – “No, Maiya! I have not seen your Kanhaiya.” Lord Krishna were listening all these things hiding under a big pitcher. Maiya then left the room.”

Now, Lord Krishna says to Kumbar ” Kumbar Ji, let me out and lose the pot, I want to get out of this.”

Kumbar said - “No, prabhu ji. The Lord! Please, give me promise. You will set me free from bondage of the 84 Lack Yoonis (Births)”

Prabhu Ji smiled and said – “Well, I promise to get you rid out of 84 Lack Yoonis (Births). Now let me out.”

Kumbar said – “I am not alone, the Lord live! for all of people in my family, give me promise to free them from the bondage of 84 Lack Yoonis (Births). Then, I will let you out.”

Prabhu Ji says – “Okay, let them be free from the bondage of the 84 Lack Yoonis (Births) and species I promise. Now let me out of the pitcher.”

Kumbar now says – “Just, sovereign live! This is a last request. Please fulfil this one, then I’ll let you out of the pitcher.”

Prabhu Ji said – “tell, What you want to say?”

Kumbar said – “The Lord! The bottom of the pitcher you’re hiding, My bulls have loaded the soil for this pot. Please, eighty-four of these bulls are also free from the bondage of the promise.”

Prabhu Ji’s - “love for Kumbar delighted. God also full filed his promise to put these bulls free from the bondage of 84 Lack Yoonis (Births).”

Lord said – “Now all your wish has come true, now let me out of the pitcher.”

Kumbar then says – “Not now, Lord! Just the desire and a final. Please complete it and that’s it. The dialogue between us, the creature hearing this or remembering this leela. Please put them free from the bondage of 84 Lack Yoonis (Births). Just give the word , I ‘ll let you out of the pitcher.”

After listening to the words of Kumbar. The loving Lord Krishna and was very happy to meet this desire of Kumbar.

Then, finnaly. Kumbar removed the pitcher. He did, sashtang pranam to the Lord. He washed the Shree Charan of Prabhu ji and drank that charanamrit.

Now, Just imagine the look. The Little Shree Krishna, who can take the seven miles tall Govardhana Parvat on his little finger, then why, he could not have a pitcher.”

But not without love Rijhee Natwar Nand Kishore. No matter how to sacrifice, to rituals, how to donate, no matter how to love, but love is not the mere creature of the mind. Without love you can't find the Lord Krishna.

Original Leela
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।

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

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.

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)

God With Form or God Without Form...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Like all of us, Arjuna was also confused about the proper way to worship God.

So, Arjuna very specifically asked bhagwan Krishna whether one should worship God as a person (WITH FORM) or worship God as impersonal (WITHOUT FORM).
(BG:12:1).

Prabhu Shree Krishna answered
Those who worship me with great faith, I consider them to be perfect. However, those worship the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman with proper control of senses also will finally attain me.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:2,3,4)

Bhagwan Krishna answered: Remember those whose minds are attached to the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman will find very difficult to progress in their path since they are born with body and mind.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:5)

Since the concept of God is very difficult to explain, Rishi Veda Vyasa wrote, we can worship God.
With form - SAGUNA BRAHMAN - as well as Without form - NIRGUNA BRAHMAN
Source: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XII, Verses 1-5.
