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.

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.

Shree Datta is a Hindu deity considered to be an avatar of Hindu god Shree Krishna

Shree Datta is a Hindu deity cons...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Shree Dattatreya or Shree Datta is a Hindu deity considered to be an avatar of Hindu god Shree Krishna, known as Shree Dattatreya.
The name Dattatreya is composed of two words - “Datta” (meaning given) and “Atreya”, referring to the sage Atri, his physical father.
Various Hindu sects worship him differently, though Shree Dattatreya is considered a form of all the three deities. He is especially considered an avatar of Vishnu while his siblings the moon-god Chandra and the sage Durvasa are regarded as forms of Brahma and Shiva respectively. However, spiritual seekers pray to this Supreme Teacher for knowledge of the Absolute Truth. Hindu theology, credits Dattatreya as the author of the Tripura Rahasya given to Parashurama, a treatise on Advaita Vedanta. He is specially worshipped on his birthday, Datta Jayanti.

Shree Dattatreya traditions
  • Puranic tradition
  • Mahanubhav tradition
  • Shri Gurucharitra tradition
  • Sakalmat Sampradaya tradition
  • Avadhut Panth tradition
  • Shri Dattpith Sansthan Pathri

One who is in possession of all six of these opulences at the same time and who possesses them to an unlimited degree is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to Parasara Muni a great Vedic authority.
Shree Dattatreya was born to the sage Atri, who had been promised by Parameshvara (the Almighty), that He, Parameshvara, would be incarnated as his son. Some Hindu sects familiar with the trinity also attribute Shree Dattatreya's incarnation as of all the three- Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma, indirectly meaning to be all powerful and above all. This is just one of the many legends related to the birth of Lord Dattatreya. Others suggest a more mystical origin of Shree Dattatreya. Some of the sources claim that he was born in Kashmir jungles near the sacred Amarnath.

Appearance Puranic tradition
मालाकमंडलुरधः करपद्मयुग्मे, मध्यस्थ पाणियुगुले डमरूत्रिशूले
यस्यस्त उर्ध्वकरयोः शुभशंखचक्रे वंदे तमत्रिवरदं भुजषटकयुक्तम
I bow to the one who has six hands and whose lowest two hands have maalaa and kamandalu, middle pair of hands hold damaru and trishool and top two hands have holy Shankh and Chakra) Other depictions, however, show other weapons like 'Gada' in the hands of Dattatreya sometimes.

Names of Shri Datta & their meanings:
🚩 Datta >> Datta is one who has been bestowed with the spiritual experience of the nirgun? (Nonmaterialised), meaning, the one who has been given the experience that the 'Self' is Brahman (God in His aspect as the Creator of the universe) or mukta (Liberated) self or the soul.
🚩 Avadhut >> One whose (spiritual) ignorance has been dispelled with spiritual knowledge, meaning, the one who emancipates all.
🚩 Dattatreya >> This word is derived from Datta and Atreya. The meaning of 'Datta' has already been explained above. 'Atreya' means the son of Sage Atri.
🚩 Digambar >> Is the principle which gives company to an embodied soul till it gets Final Liberation in the radiance of the sky, i.e. beyond all the directions.
🚩 Shripad >> 'Shri' is the never-ending principle of God. The principle that takes an embodied soul to that principle of God or to the Holy Feet of 'Shri' principle, is the Datta principle in Shripad.
🚩 Vallabh >> The Datta principle in the form of Vallabh protects the Universe from the circular-shaped negative energies that create fear psychosis, and thus protects the embodied souls.

Gyan Shakti Savikar - When Shree ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

It was the time when Shree Chakarapani Maharaj Ji left to Mahur, it was the Saka 1080 era. At the age of 30; Shree Chakarapani Ji made the pilgrimage to meet Shree Dattatreya Prabhu Ji since the reason behind is to receive the Avatar Shakti from Avadhot Prabhuraya.

People were climbing step by step to the Mahurgarh peak. They all were in a row. Suddenly, the people started making panic, there was a tiger behind them. But Shree Chakarapani Prabhuji fearlessly set himself in front of the tiger, because he knows Shree Dattatreya Prabhuji is in the form of the tiger.

Then Prabhu ji greeted tiger with a namaskar. Then after, The Lord Shree Dattatreya Maharaj Ji blessed him with his toe and given him the Ubhay Shakti (उभय शक्ती) and Shree Chakarapani Ji accepted the Gyan Shakti (ज्ञान शक्ती) and started the work with the Para Shakti (पराशक्ती).

ज्ञान शक्ती स्वीकार
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|

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.

Benefits of Chanting the Name of Shree Dattatreya Prabhu

Benefits of Chanting the Name of ...

🙏 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.
