Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the universe in his mouth

Bhagwan Shree Krishna and the universe in his mouth
🙏 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.

What is Karma: Action or Deed

What is Karma: Action or Deed

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Karma is a Sanskrit term. It means action or deed. Any physical or mental action is Karma. Thinking is mental Karma. Karma is the sum total of our acts, both in the present life and in the preceding births.

Karma means not only action, but also the result of an action. There is a hidden power in Karma or action termed 'Adrishta' which brings in fruits of Karmas for the individual. The consequence of an action is really not a separate thing. It is a part of the action and cannot be divided from it.

According to the Gita, any action done with Nishkamya Bhava (selflessness) is Karma.
Lord Krishna says: Work incessantly. Your duty is to work but not to expect the fruits thereof. The central teaching of the Gita is non-attachment to work. Breathing, eating, seeing, hearing, thinking, etc., are all Karmas. Thinking is real Karma. Raga-dvesha (likes and dislikes) constitute real karma.

Brahmvidya Shastra and Nav Prakaran to learn the four elements Ishwar, Devta, Jeev & Prapanch

Brahmvidya Shastra and Nav Prakar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

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).

Compiled with great care and understanding (in 1290) by the knowledgeable Keshav Vyas Suri from amongst 1500 episodes in the sacred source book Leela Charitra, is the second sacred book Brahmvidya Shastra.

The Brahmvidya Shastra gives minute details of four elements (Char Paddarths- Ishwar, Devta, Jeev & Prapanch), Gods and the varied knowledge, way and source of attaining them. Nav Prakaran means nine chapters. Excluding the background chapter of Poorvi (along with Panch Krishna and Panch Naam).

Nav Prakaran:
🚩 Anya Vyavriti – अन्य व्यावृति (देवता पदार्थ)
🚩 Yug Dharma – युगधर्म
🚩 Vidya Marg – विद्या मार्ग
🚩 Sanhaar – संहार (प्रलय)
🚩 Sansaran – संसरण (रचना)
🚩 Udharan – उद्धरण
🚩 Mahavakya – महावाक्य
🚩 Nirvachan – निर्वचन
🚩 Astipari – असतिपरि

Other parts of Brahmvidya are Vichar Prakaran and Achar Prakaran. There are 285 sutras under Vichar Prakaran and 289 sutras under Achar Prakaran. Keshav Vyas Suri also selected from Leela Charitra 114 drishtants (illustrations) which were narrated by Swami to elaborate some deep philosophical thought. If this is included, Nav Prakaran becomes Dasham Prakaran.

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.

Original Leela in Marathi:
केशववीहीरी उद्यापनी सातरा आरोगणा :
सासु सुनेची विहिर ऋद्धपुर

ऋद्धपुर च्या पुर्वेला तिवसा रोडवर असलेली श्री गोविंद प्रभुं चरणांकित, ही विहिर सासु, सुनेची विहिर म्हणून प्रसिद्ध आहे.
लिळा :
नगराच्या पूर्वेस केशवनायकांनी विहिर खोदली. परंतु पाणी लागत नाही म्हणुन चिंतित झाले. मग श्रीप्रभु बाबांना विनंती केली, “ बाबा मी खुप कष्टाने विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागत नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, “अवो मेला जाए, वीहीरी खणावी म्हणे : न खणावी म्हणे : मेला जाए खणावीची म्हणे :” तेंव्हा केशव नायक म्हणाले, “जी,जी एव्हडी खोल विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागले नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, अवो मेला जाए खण म्हणे : आणि श्री चरणाचा अंगठा लावला. केशवनायकांनी थोडे खोदताच, खुप पाणी लागले. संपुर्ण विहिर पाण्याने भरली. सर्वजन आश्चर्यचकित झाले.

नंतर केशवनायकांनी सुंदर चिरेबंदी विहिर बांधली. आता फक्त वरील काठ बांधणे बाकी होते. तेंव्हा श्रीप्रभु म्हणाले, “मेला जाए, सीसवठी न बांधता, अगोदर उद्यापन कर म्हणे :” केशव नायक म्हणाले, ज्याअर्थी गोसावी म्हणतात तेंव्हा पुढे काही तरी कठीन प्रसंग असेल ! म्हणून उद्यापण करवित असतील. मग केशव नायकांनी उद्यापऩाची तयारी केली. माडव घातला, ब्राम्हण बोलावले, हवण केले, ब्राम्हणाला जेउ घातले. नंतर गोसावी तेथे बीजे केले, विहीरीमधे एका ठिकाणी बसुन आरोगणा झाली.

इकडे त्याच दिवसी कटक देवगीरीला विठ्ठलनायक व दाएनायकांना, जे राज दरबारा मधे दरबारी होते तृटी आली म्हणून पकडले. केशवनायक त्यांचे व्याही होते, व त्यांनी काही वस्तू केशवनायकां कडे ठेवली होती. म्हणून केशवनायक ही नागवले गेले. तेंव्हा केशवनायक म्हणाले, “राउळांनी येणा-या संकटाची सुचना म्हणून उद्यापण करविले..! [ऋ.च. १५५]

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 ।
