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.

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.

Surrender everything to me, I am the God: O Arjuna: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

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.

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.

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.
