Benefits of Chanting the Name of Shree Dattatreya Prabhu

Benefits of Chanting the Name of Shree Dattatreya Prabhu
🙏 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.

Lord Shree Krishna choosen Arjuna only why not anyone else?

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.

Bhakti is blessed as per your Karma of previous birth

Bhakti is blessed as per your Kar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Even person is great by his Karma not by his Birth.
Lord Shree Krishna in Shree Madbhagwad Geta said that Bhakti is blessed as per your Karma of previous birth. Even person is great by his Karma not by his Birth. Person do known by his nobleness and behavior. We are blessed with the human body such that we can make ourselves get rid of this illusionary world by devoting ourselves to lord without any greed.

Since this world is completely surrounded by the sins and uncertainity. The desire towards the happiness is the dark part of knowledge. To remove this darkest part from each and every mind, In the todays world we all need to spread and cultivate the seed of Shree Madbhagwad Geta. Today we all are too far from the knowledge of Shree Madbhagwad Geta. Due to this, the world is surviving from the chaos, miss conception and the greed. To make the life good and free from all these chaos. We need to devote ourselves completely to Parmeshwra, recite and take in the knowledge from the Shree Madbhagwad Geta and Bharamvidya Shashtra.

There is a well explained sentence from one of the Great Saint of Mahanubhava Pantha / Jai Krishni Pantha / Achyuta Pantha
“गरुड़ पक्षी आकाश में ऊँचा उड़ता है, परंतु अन्य पक्षी यदि गुरुड़ पक्षी की तरह ऊँचे आकाश में नहीं उड़ सकते है तो क्या बाकि पक्षी उड़ना छोड़ दें ?”
So the message is that everybody must try best according to his power, ability and knowledge to promote and serve the Dharma.

श्री कृष्ण भगवान जी ने श्री मदभगवद गीता में कहा है, आप करम करें, करम के फल के विषेय में न सोचें। दुःख - सुख, यश - अपयश, सफलता - असफलता जीवन के अंग है। अर्थार्थ जीवन के साथ साथ सभ चलता रहता है। रात - दिन, सुबह - शाम संसार का एक अनिवार्य भाग है। जो आपके ना चाहने पर भी आप पर पप्रभाब अवश्य छोड़ेंगे। अतः हमे केवल निःसवार्थ भाव पूर्वक करम करना चाहिए।

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

Piercing fish eye

Piercing fish eye

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

A night before the day of Matsya Vedh (Piercing fish eye) competition, Krishna and Arjuna conversation.

Krishna: Arjuna, take care, put your step forward and concentrate on the eye of fish.
Arjuna: If i have to do everything , then what will you do?
Krishna: What you can't do, I will do.
Arjuna: And what is it that I can't do?
Krishna answers: I will keep the water steady.

No matter how much work we do for our goals, we are not the creator here. We are the co-creator of our life. We must perform our karma and trust that everything beyond our control will be taken care by God or The Universe or the Higher Power or any other name you believe in.

Remember God is your silent invisible partner.

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

The four means of cult of Mahanubahv Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami in 1267

The four means of cult of Mahanub...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Shri Chakradhar Swami when headed to north direction, at that time all the bahgats and the peoples were in the sadness. They all have one question “Swami, how we can fell your presence and how we can fill your place in our heart?”. Then, at that time, the divine god Shri Chakradhar Swami said “सेवा-दास्य-भजन-पूजन”. So, in this way, every pantha pracharak and people should do worship like this. People will remember the four ways to reach the god and put their soul into peace. Shri Chakradhar Swami give them the way to reach him (Tha ParamPita).

People must do:
  • 1. Sewa – सेवा
  • 2. Dasya – दास्य
  • 3. Bhajan – भजन
  • 4. Poojan – पूजन

Historical sources and religious websites share that Mahanubhava Pantha / Jai Krishni Pantha / Achyuta Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami Or Shree Chakradahrara in 1267. 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.

Just saying these divine words, Shri Chakradhar Swami left for the north. Truth is that, these are the only four ways to reach the god and attain the stability of soul. Defining these fours sadhans below. According to Shri Chakradhar Swami, by doing the Sewa-Dasya-Bhajan-Poojan ( सेवा-दास्य-भजन-पूजन ) we can attain the Param Pita Parmeshwar.

1. Sthan – The place; The Tirath place, where the Shri Chakradhar Swami teaches the Gyan & Updesh and the place where the Swami has embedded his footprints. Where the Swami have taken the stand and spent his time. The Stone and The Rocks there are considered as Vishesh “Spiritual Stone”.

जिस जगह पर भगवान अपने भक्तो को ज्ञान उपदेश देते थे, और वह जगह भगवान के चरण स्पर्श पुनीत हो, वह स्थान पवित्र एवं दर्शनीय मना जाता है| वहाकी शीला (पत्थर) नामधारक को “विशेष” दर्शनीय है| उस पत्थर को “विशेष” मना जाता है|

2. Prasad – Using the clothes and belongings of Shri Chakradhar Swami and his disciple, pantha worship these Namaskari clothing and they called it as Prasad. In the Ashram and Temples we respect and do Dandvat salute to these Prasad using these Vastar.

जीन वस्त्रोन का उपयोग स्वामी ने किया और अपने अनुयायी को दिया, वह वस्त्र नमस्कारी है और उन्हे प्रसाद कहा जाता है| आप जीन मंदिरो मे तथा अश्रमो मे प्रसाद नमन करते है वह इन्ही वस्त्रो का उपयोग करके बनाये गये है|

3. Bhikshuk – Remembring the Shri Chakradhar Swami and keeping the cuture same, the adherent are moving this culture forward, these adherent have taken sanyas and spending their whole life in the bhakti of Shri Chakradhar Swami. These Sahdus are the way to reach god, these are the Demi Gods and way of our worship.

श्री चक्रधर भगवान की सेवा में अनेक अनुयायी साथ थे वही परंपरा आज भी कायम है और वह भिक्षुक जीवनभर संन्यास लेकर भगवान की याद किया करते है और जीवन व्यतीत करते है, वह साधू-संत हमारे शुभकामनाये करते है, हमारे दु:ख-दर्द महसूस करके भगवान को याद करते है| वह साधू हमारे लिये भगवान के बराबर है और पूज्यनीय है|

4. Vasnik – Leaving the home and the luxury of life, remembering and chanting only his name is called the Vasnik.

भगवान की याद में अपना सब छोडकर संन्यासी जीवन व्यतीत करते है और संन्यास लेने की कामना करते है वह वासनिक कहलाते है|

Once Mahadaisa asked Sarwagya Ji, How Shree Krishan Chander Prabhu ji gifted Udhav Dev with his love

Once Mahadaisa asked Sarwagya Ji,...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

As usual Mahadaisa was sitting in front of Swami Shree Chakardhara Ji. She asked prabhu ji “How Shree Krishan Chander Prabhu ji gifted Udhav Dev with his love”. Prabhu ji was in meditation posture.

Then Sarwagy Ji replied, Mahadaisa when Shree Krishan Ji was going towards the prison cell after killing the Raja Kans. Prabhu Ji found, somebody was hiding behind the pillar with heavy breath. He was apprehensive and fearful that something bad could go with him. He was trying to keep him away from the sight of Prabhuji.

Prabhu saw him hidden and said, who was hiding there: One of the sewak of Raja Kans said, Prabhu ji he is the Minister of Raja Kans. Immediately Udhav Dev said, Prabhu ji I do only the long and careful consideration or discussion with Raja Kans. Then Prabhu ji said, till the day you have worked and taken the seat under the Kans, now you will take the position under my empire and do the same. After this incidence, Udhav experienced the wibes of loves towards the Prabhu ji and have bowed towards the Shree Krishan Chakarwati Prabhu.

एक दिन महदाइसा ने श्री चकर्धर स्वामी जी से पूछा, हे प्रभो! प्रभु श्री कृष्ण चंदर जी ने उद्धव देव को प्रेम दान किस प्रकार दिया ?

सर्वज्ञ श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी ने उत्तर दिया, महदाइसा! जब भगवन श्री कृष्ण जी राजा कंस का वध करके कारागर की ओर जाने लगे तो वहा देखा की उद्धव देव भयभीत स्तम्भ के पीछे खड़े थे |

श्री कृष्ण जी ने उन्हें छिपा देख कर कहा, अरे! वहा कूँ खड़ा है| उतर देते हुए अन्य सेवक ने कहा| प्रभु जी वहा पर राजा कंस के प्रधान मंत्री है| तत्काल उद्धव ने कहा, प्रभु जी में अपनी बुद्धि से कुछ मंत्रणा कंस के समुख रखा करता था| तब प्रभु जी ने कहा, आपने आजतक कंस का अमात्यतव सवीकारा था, अब आजसे आप हमारा मंत्रितब धारण करो ओर हमे मंत्रणा दिया करो| प्रभु जी के इन्ही वचनों के साथ उद्धव देव को प्रेम संक्रमण हुआ ओर उन्होंने प्रभु जी को सहस्तांग दंडवत प्रणाम कर , खुदको धन्य माना|
