Kaliya The poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River

Kaliya The poisonous Naga living in the Yamuna River
🙏 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.

Shri Govind Prabhu throw segule budde towards Haripaldev and said you are my Chakradhar, you are Chakrahya, my Chakra

Shri Govind Prabhu throw segule b...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Jai Shri Chakradhar Swami; Shri Prabhu Darshan:

As guards got up from their sleep they started searching Prince Haripaldev, but they couldn't find him. By getting the news of Haripaldev has been lost, Vishaldev, father of Haripaldev started searching him all over but they fail to find him. Haripaldev took every step in an undisclosed direction.

It was twenty fifth day since Haripaldev had left Bharauch. Haripaldev came to the principal town of Rudhapur (Ridhpur) which was dwelling place of another Ishwari Avtaar, Shri Govind Prabhu Maharaj.

As it was before mentioned, that Shri Prabhu was fourth Ishwari Avtaar in Mahanubhav Panth (Jai Krishni Pantha or Achyuta Pantha).

Shri Prabhu had taken incarnation by replacing a yet to be born child from the womb of mother Nemaisa; and that child had some physical and mental infirmities and abnormalities. Shri Prabhu adopted all this features. Due to this, it was complex to understand Shri Prabhu, but who comprehend his true form, became his lifelong Bhaktas. Shri Prabhu performed many Miracle by giving life to the dead, good fortune to deprived ones and shelter to the destitute. Shri Prabhu also send lowly creatures such as insects to the highest level of attainment.

Once Shri Prabhu left Rudhapur, that year no rain takes place in Rudhapur. While moving around in the streets of Rudhapur, Haripaldev came to market place known as Randhwan Haat (the market of Sweet). At that place, Haripaldev got attracted by the divine presence of Shri Prabhu. Haripaldev saw Shri Prabhu smiling, grey beard and hair, half-clad and face having wheaten complexion with fair radiance. His eyes were half open and eyeball gazing towards the sky. Left small finger having slight blend. Haripaldev paid respects to Shri Prabhu by bowing before him with folded hand known as Namaskar (Dandvat Pranam). He chanted glory for him. Then he stood aside and watched Shri Prabhu acts of benevolence. A large gathering of devotees had surrounded Shri Prabhu who was enjoying some local food preparation known as Segule Budde.

Suddenly Haripaldev heard Shri Prabhu saying, “Take it, don’t take, yes take it, oh, take it” and Shri Prabhu throw Segule Budde towards Haripaldev. By this, Haripaldev grabbed Segule Budde by both his hands and he bowed again towards Shri Prabhu. Both the Avtaar (Prince Haripaldev in form of Dwaravati Shri Changdev Raul / Shri Chakrapani Maharaj and other side Shri Govind Prabhu / Shri Prabhu / Shri Gundam Raul himself) looked intensely at each other. Meeting of eyes produced a Miracle. Shri Prabhu came towards Haripaldev and kept his hand on Haripaldev forehead and said, “You are my Chakradhar”, you are Chakrahya, my Chakra.

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.

Source: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVIII, Verses 66.

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji said By doing the Seva-Dasya-Bhajan-Pujan of these four means Sthan-Prasad-Bhikshuk-Vasnik you can outreach me

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji said B...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

It is very necessary to remember and recall the name of Prabhu ji according to the rituals as explained in the Bhramvidya Shashtra. Take the silent place and do the smaran there. While remembering the Prabhu ji, you must be directly associated to the god. Try to remember the way in which you can actually feel the things happening during that time. Flashback the things as they are going now.

It is proven that Smaran is the only way to get closer to the ultimate spirit called Lord. While doing the smaran, remember that your posture must be straight and your eyes must be half closed and pointing towards straight. Buzz in the little louder sound, such that your body can feel the positive vibes of that word. The best time to do the smaran is in-between 03:00AM to 06:00AM.

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji usually says “Wake early in the morning” - “पश्चात प्रहरी उठीजे”
A leela associated to the Shree Chakardhara Swami Ji:
While proceeding to the north direction, all the pantha members were very sad and they asked Prabhu ji in very sad, depressed and weeping tone “Swami, where we will go in your remembrance. How do we do it?”

Then Swami ji replied: Naam, Leela and Murti Cheshta, remembring the lord in these way and doing the Seva-Dasya-Bhajan-Pujan of these four means Sthan-Prasad-Bhikshuk-Vasnik you can outreach me. After giving direction Prabhuji appointed Nagdev Aacharya for the Seva of Panhta (Mahanubhav Pantha) and leaved for the north.

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.

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree Dattatreya - Avadhoot Prabhu

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree D...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Dattatreya said
I have taken shelter of twenty-four gurus, who are the following: the earth, air, sky, water, fire, moon, sun, pigeon and python; the sea, moth, honeybee, elephant and honey thief; the deer, the fish, the dancing girl Pingala, the kurari bird and the child; the young girl, arrow maker, serpent, spider and wasp…
Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 11: Chapter 7: Slokas 33~35
1. Prithvi (Earth) One should acquire the virtues of endurance and tolerance of duality from the earth. The Earth teaches course of Dharma, art of Tolerance, art of Performing Duty.
2. Vaayu (Air) One should be detached like the wind. The Wind being pure and odourless in its characteristics, move freely among all objects and yet remain unaffected. Calm and ever flowing without any fear.
3. Aakash (Sky) Just like the sky one should be single and steady. Like sky, the Soul is omnipresent, all-pervading, and infinite in nature.
4. Jall (Water) Just like water one should behave with affection towards all. Never be partial to anyone. The sage is like water because he is free from all impurities, gentle in nature and while speaking he creates a beautiful vibration like the flowing of water.
5. Agni (Fire) Like the fire one should behave with equality towards all. The sage's glory is like the fire, is made brighter by austerities, his knowledge and tapas; having no vessel other than his stomach.
6. Chandar (Moon) There are in all sixteen phases of the moon including the subtle phase of the new moon and the fifteen of the fortnight. Though there is waxing and waning of the moon, it remains unaffected by them. Sage should not be affected by the continual change of body from birth to death including diseases and old age.
7. Surya (Sun) The sun stores water taking the future into account and benevolently showers it on the earth at the appropriate moment. Similarly the sage can accept material things with his senses, but at the appropriate time he should give these things back, as an act from sense of duty. Without getting attached to material sense objects.
8. Kabootar (Pigeon) Like pigeon story warns against developing obsessive love or attachments in the transient material world. The sage would refrain from attachment after attaining the human body, which is the open door to Mukti (Moksha, Liberation), a door to God-Realization.
9. Ajgar (Python) Ajgar eats whatever comes in its way and satisfy, whether it is sufficient or not, bitter or sweet etc. A sage always goes for search of wisdom and refrains from running after unwanted pleasures.
10. Samudra (Ocean) One should not let anyone perceive one's virtues just as the sea keeps its length, breadth, depth and the treasures in its bed hidden from everyone. However one should always utilise them favourably, for the sake of others. The life of sage remains balanced; the joys of life do not excite him, nor do sorrows depress him. The wise sage never transgresses the highest standards of morality.
11. Patanga (Moth) Similarly a foolish man is enticed by the illusory pleasures of the visual senses and thus gets caught in the ceaseless cycles of birth and death. Man must try to control the sense of sight (and all other senses) and to try to avoid being greedy.
12. Madhu Mskhee (Honey Collector) Just as the one who collects the honey acquires it effortlessly so also a male seeker should partake of food cooked in the home of a householder instead of spending time in making a fire, collecting utensils, firewood, etc. Thus learning that accumulation of wealth leads to sudden death like the honey bee, one should stop amassing wealth.
13. Haathi (Elephant) Men allured by adulterous women are destroyed in the same way as elephants overcome with lust die fighting amongst themselves.
14. Mdhumakkhee (Bumble Bee) Just as the bumble-bee savours the fragrance of several sunflowers instead of one so also seekers desirous of Liberation should realise that every science will not be easy to grasp and hence should try to understand their implied meaning.
15. Hiran (Musk Deer) The deer is very fond of music and is very much attracted by it. The deer is trapped by hunter through its love for music. Hunter employs music to lure the deer before hunting it. A renounced person should never become attracted by mundane sounds like sensuous music, specially the sweet singing and dancing of girl.
16. Machli (Fish) When a fish-hook fastened with bait is thrown into the water, the fish lured by the bait swallows the hook and gets caught. Thus it loses its life. So one should never lose sight of his True Self.
17. Pingala (A Dancing Girl) One night despite a long wait not a single client approached her. As she restlessly waited pacing up and down, hoping for a client she was finally bored and suddenly developed detachment. The abandonment of expectation from people, leads to contentment and infinite joy.
18. Pakshee (Lapwing) Seeing the lapwing fly with a fish in its beak hundreds of crows and eagles began chasing it, pecking at it and tried to snatch the fish, thus harassing it. This flock began following it wherever it went. In this world there is peace only if sense objects are rejected, otherwise it leads to great distress.
19. Balak (Child) Live like being child at heart, innocent, care free and full of Supreme Joy.
20. Churiyaan (Bangles) When two bangles strike each other a jingling sound is generated. The more the bangles the greater is the sound. Similarly when two persons live together it leads to conversation and when many persons live together there is strife. In both circumstances there is no peace of mind. Hence those doing meditation, yoga, etc. should search for an isolated place and live there in seclusion.
21. Shilpkar (Artisan) One day an artisan was chiselling the blade of an arrow with great concentration. A king's procession to the accompaniment of music passed by that way. A man arriving later approached the artisan and enquired, “Have you seen the king's procession passing by this way, just now?” The artisan replied, “I was so engrossesd in my work that I was not aware of anything”. Just like this artisan a seeker desirous of Liberation (mumukshu) should meditate surrendering all his sense organs to The Lord.
22. Saanp (Snake) The snake lives alone and avoids the company of other creatures. In order to seek Self-Realization, one should abide in the cave of his own heart. The snake leaves of its old skin after sometime, and gets the newer one; that make resemblance with phenomenon of death. A true sage never frightened by the death, knowing sooner or later he will get a new life based on his karmic actions.
23. Makadi (Spider) The spider spins a web secreting a fluid from its belly and plays in it day and night. When it feels like it, it swallows the entire web and becomes free again. Lord Supreme creates material universe from His Maya, preserves it and after a while draws it back into the Self. The Supreme Self has no desires and is beyond the reach of cause and effect.
24. Bhringee Keet (Caterpillar, Wasp) The wasp catches hold of a worm (caterpillar), put it in its hive (nest), gives it a sting and goes on buzzing about it. The caterpillar is so frightened by this whole ongoing process of buzzing. As a man thinks, so he becomes. Even at the time of death, whatever one's mind focused on, one attains the same living species form in his next life.
Thus one must try to give up all attachment to the body and attain Moksha or liberation.
Shree Dattatreya explains what he has learned from his own body as a Guru My Body teaches me Gyaan (knowledge) and Vairaagya (detachment). Birth and death are along with it. It means that if we hold on to this body then we have to bear sorrows. Although it helps to think about Tattwa (elements) still I never consider it mine.

Miracle of rebirth of Prince Haripaldev

Miracle of rebirth of Prince Hari...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Miracle of rebirth of Prince Haripaldev. In other words, dead Haripaldev had come alive once again or in different way, an (Parmeshwar) Avatar had come on this Earth.

This Leela is about the Miracle of rebirth of Prince Haripaldev. Leela happened as descibed below. At the same time, miracle moment has just taken place. Everyone saw the dead Prince Haripaldev opening his eyes and getting up. Due to this rebirth of Prince the people became happy and started praying to God. This amazing rebirth was expelled all over the state of Gurjara Kingdom.

The Prince was brought back to his palace with great joy. All people were dancing, singing by the rebirth of Prince. The Royal Family was fully excited to see the Prince coming back home. Haripaldev’s father Vishaldev, a philosophical learner started wondering about this incident. He could not resolve the mystery of his son coming back to life. At that time yogis were having the technique (vidya) which they can give up their body and enter the body of someone else. So, Vishaldev sent his man (spy) to find whether the dead body of yogis are seen nearby. After searching all the Gurjara Kingdom no dead body of any yogis were found.

Due to this, Vishaldev was happy and he thought that no dead body or technique have been used to rebirth the Prince body. Finally, Vishaldev enquired from his daughter-in-law Kamla Devi whether she have noticed any change in Haripaldev’s behavior subsequent to his ‘Death and Revival’. After giving this question some thought, Kamla Devi too replied in the negative. She said she did not notice any change in her husband’s behavior. Everything was just fine as it was before.

Vishaldev was at the sea side to understand the rebirth of Prince. After few days, Vishaldev’s man (spy) came to know about the incident which has been occurred at faraway place known as “Pataal Gufa” in Dwarka. There was renowned Yogi-Parmeshwar “Shri Chakrapani Maharaj (also known as Shri Changdev Raul of Dwarka) had given his body because of obduracy shown by Yogini Kamakhya of Kamrup. The Yogini was bent upon unsettling the Raul, but on command from the divine Adiguru, Shri Dattatray Prabhu, the Raul had vowed for lifelong tapasya.

Already, the Yogini was known to have ruined the celibacy of quite a large number of sages. But given the divine yogic power, Raul possessed, making him bow before her desire turned out to be an impossible task for the Yogini. In fact, for entering into Raul’s “Pataal Gufa” itself, she kept on waiting for seven days and night with her one foot inside and one foot outside the entrance of the Gufa. However, Raul did not yield to her illicit demand. Due to this illicit demand, Shri Chakrapani Maharaj, finally decided to give up his physical body and move out to someone else’s. By this, Raul entered into the dead body of Prince Haripaldev in Bharauch. In other words, dead Haripaldev had come alive once again or in different way, an (Parmeshwar) Avtaar had come on this Earth.
