Bhakti is blessed as per your Karma of previous birth

Bhakti is blessed as per your Karma of previous birth
🙏 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 🙏

Past and Present - perceptions of mind: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter V, Verses 14

Past and Present - perceptions of...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Question : Did Lord Krishna say anything about?
Why do we take birth, if we have to die later?
That is a million dollar question, without any clear cut logical answer.

1. Only thing Lord Krishna said is that people take birth due to their past karmic debts incurred during their last birth (incarnation).
2. Each of us are responsible for our birth. God has nothing to do with that.
3. We continue this cycles of birth and death, until we exhaust all our karmic debt and then we attain salvation.
4. Lord Krishna said: God does not decide what each person should do, nor he induce people to act, nor does he create fruits of any action.

Each person acts according to his/her Vasanas (Past and present perceptions of mind)

Whatever exists: They are in me, I am not in them: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter VII, Verses 8-12

Whatever exists: They are in me, ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Prabhu Shree Krishna said in Bhagvad Gita:

I am the sapidity in water, O Arjuna.
I am the light in the moon and the sun.
I am the syllable Om / AUM (ॐ) in all the Vedas.
Sound in ether, and Virility in men.
I am the sweet fragrance in earth and the brilliance in fire.
The life in all beings; and I am austerity in ascetics.

Know Me, O Arjuna.
As the eternal seed of all beings.
I am the intelligence of the intelligent.
The splendour of the splendid objects am.

Know Me, O Arjuna.
Of the strong, I am the strength devoid of desire and attachment.
And in all beings.
I am the desire unopposed to Dharma.

Know Me, O Arjuna.
Whatever being [and objects] that are pure, active and inert.
know that they proceed from me.
They are in Me, yet I am not in them.

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami - The Divine Light

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:
  1. Narendra : Rukaminiswayamvara (1292)
  2. Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Shishupalvadha (1312)
  3. Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Uddhavgita (1313)
  4. Damodar Pandit : Vachhaharana (1316)
  5. Ravalobas : Sahayadrivaranana (1353)
  6. Narayanbas Bahahaliye : Riddhipurvarnana (1418)
  7. Vishvanath Balapurkar : Janaprabodh (1418)

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River

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.

Why we serve 56 types of cuisines to Lord Shree Krishna

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)
5. दधिशाकजा (दही शाक की कढ़ी) 6. सिखरिणी (सिखरन) 7. अवलेह (शरबत) 8. बालका (बाटी)

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.
