Place and time of birth of our five incarnations of Mahanubhav Pantha or Jai Krishni Pantha or Achyuta Pantha.
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 an avatar is absent.

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.

Leela of Lord Krishna with Kumbar of the bondage of 84 Lack Yoonis

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।

Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the universe in his mouth

Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the uni...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

One day, while playing in the fields, little Krishna secretly ate mud. His friends went and told Yashoda about this. When Krishna returned home, Maa Yashoda caught Krishna by his ears and scolded him for putting dirt in his mouth. Krishna promptly replied that he had had a fight with his friends in the morning and to take revenge they were all lying and that Yashoda shouldn't believe them. He said that she was being unfair as she believed them instead of believing her son.

Yashoda ordered, If you have not taken any mud, then open your mouth. I shall see for myself.

Krishna obediently opened his mouth. But when Yashoda peered into his mouth, she was wonderstruck. She saw the entire universe: the mountains the oceans, the planets, air, fire, moon and the stars in his small mouth. Yashoda was stunned and began to wonder whether she were dreaming or actually seeing something extraordinary. She fell on the ground, unconscious.

When she recovered, she realised what had happened. The Lord Almighty, in all his glory, was before her very eyes. It was little Krishna, the incarnation of Vishnu. Yashoda took the little boy on her lap and hugged him and cried with joy.

Glory of the Mahatirth Asan Chinsthali, one of the oldest and the mahasthan of Mahanubhava Pantha

Glory of the Mahatirth Asan Chins...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

All of us know that about the Mahatirth Asan Chinsthali, yes the same which one is taking a great turn in the present time. One of the most historical and the Pujniye and the Holy place of the Mahanubhava Pantha, we call this as the Tirath Sthan. The Mahatirth Asan Chinsthali, is on the bank of the Godavari river.

Regarding the time of construction of Mahatirth Asan Chinsthali, there is no perfect and the accurate time. Stil we have a statement that Harku Bai Holkar, who was savat of Ahilia Bai Holkar. They said it was constructed in the times of 17th century and in between. No accurate time is available. So collecting the few from history and few from the our Mahanubhav Pantha promoter i.e Mahatma Raghavbhat Satarkar.

Truly said, Muni Ji is the man behind the renovation and the construction of the Stone Temple. From their tireless and the continuous effort, the Tirath Sthan is once in the better position than before.

The structure is proposed by the SOCIETY FOR ASAN CHINSTHALI DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE (SADAN). Now, there is a message from the Panth Promoter Mahatma Raghavbhat Satarkar regarding the Mahatirth Asan Chinsthali.

Three gates leading to the hell of self destruction: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVI, Verses 21

Three gates leading to the hell o...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

|| त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन: ||
|| काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ||
|| tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ dvāraṁ nāśhanam ātmanaḥ ||
|| kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet ||

There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul - lust, anger, and greed.

Therefore, all should abandon these three:
  • Lust (Kama): Beyond just physical desire, this represents an obsessive craving for sensory gratification. It creates a cycle of never enough, leading to frustration when the high inevitably fades.
  • Anger (Krodha): Often the byproduct of frustrated desire. When we don't get what we want, anger flares up, destroying our ability to think rationally and damaging our relationships.
  • Greed (Lobha): The bottomless pit. It convinces us that our worth is tied to what we possess, ensuring we remain eternally dissatisfied regardless of our success.
Source: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVI, Verses 21.
