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

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

Story behind the Shree Sarvatirth Temple - Ridhapur

Story behind the Shree Sarvatirth...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Since we all know about the Shree Rajmath Ridhapur popularly known as The Kashi of Mahanubhav cult. Shree Rajmath Tirath (Ridhapur) is situated in the Morshi Taluka in Amravati District on the Chandur Bazar- Morshi Road. Shree Sarvatirth Temple located at the backside of Rajmath Tirath. Although it’s not a Charankit Sthan of Prabhu Ji but it’s is Mandalik Sthan. There is a story behind this.

During the 13th century, there was a Sant Rajbas. He is very conscious about his routine & he always uses to take food after the pilgrimage of all the Sthans of Shree Ridhapur. Growing with the time & at the older age and illness, he takes 3-4 days to complete pilgrimage of all the Sthans.

One day conditions were too worst, Sant Rajbas had a dream of Prabhu Ji. Shree Gundam Raul Prabhu Ji delivered him a message that “Collect all the Vishesh from all the Sthans & then bring them under one shelter, there you can do your rituals easily”. From that time the area is called as the Shree Sarvatirth Temple.

Shree Sarvatirth Temple:
▫️ Sarvatirth Sthan, Chandur Bazar - Morshi Road,
▫️ Taluka: Morshi, District: Amravati,
▫️ State: Maharashtra, India

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar avatar of Mahanubhav Pantha

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Ubhaydarshi avatar having relation with any of the inertness and the place are sacred. These sacred place and objects have the two special forces 1. Maya Samarthya Shakti and 2. Kripa Shakti. In the Sathan the Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) is President and the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) is Subsidiary. But where the blessing of the god is present, where the Parmeshwar avatar (Ubhaydarshi avatar) have taken the stand for the sufficient days are having the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) as President and Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) as Subsidiary.

Classifications of Sthan
Since the Parmeshwara avatar is having the numbers of competency, but the major one is Kripa Shakti and Kripa Shakti develops at own. The places and the Sathans are divided according to the categories of time. The time spent by the Parmeshawar avatar on the places make them the sacred places and the Sathan. In our Mahanubhav Pantha the Sathan is the one of the most sacred thing.

Aasan Sthan – आसनस्थान
The sthan where the Parmeshwar avatar have taken rest for few hours. Hours may vary from 5 to 7 hours. This is the first type of Sthan. Sthan is blessed with the powers of the Parmeshwar Shakti. Making pilgrimage of the Sthan’s is the culture of Mahanubhav Pantha.

Charan Chari – चरणचारि
Places where the Parmeshwar avatar have been standing without the slippers and the wooden Paduka (पादुका). There might be reasons behind this, but the footprints and the places is very sacred for the Mahanubhav Panth.

Vasti Sthan – वसति स्थान
Prameshwar avatar are always on the way to help people to attain Moksha and set them free from their sins and previous Karmas. In between the time, they have taken rest for one night. This makes the Sathan as Vasti Sthan. Our Panch avatar’s are always flowing from one to another place.

Kudi Vasti – कुड़ी वसति
Kudi Vasti is similar to the Vasti Sthan, the difference is that in the Vasti Sthan the time period is only one night, but the Kudi Vasti is having the one day two nights or two day two nights. This is how the Vasti Sthan and Kudi Vasti are different.

Sthan – स्थान
Sthan, now here we come with the same thing but the different time period. Here the Parmeshwar avatar have slept for there to five days. The place is more sacred as compare to the Kudi Vasti. Sthan is the most common word used, but the Sthans are divided too.

Avasthan – अवस्थान
Avasthan, here we have the time period of five to nine days. Here the Parmeshwar avatar blessed the sacred place with more presence.

Mahasthan – महास्थान
Mahasthan, finally this is the last and the most blessed sacred place. The time period is more than the nine days, this might be 1 month, 2 months, 6 months and even in the years. The Mahasthan is where the Parmeshwar avatar have been living and making the people aware about the Bliss (Moksha) and ways to attain Moksha.

॥ जय सर्वज्ञ श्री चक्रधर ॥

बिना भाग्य जो वस्तु ईश्वर अवतार देते है वह लिला ज्ञान कहलाता है।
अवतार के सम्बन्ध से जो फल प्राप्त होता है वह सम्बन्ध दान कहलाता है।
जीवो के कर्मों को ग्रहण कर उन्हे सीघ्रता से भुगवाने को ग्रहणा दान कहते है।
और ईश्वर स्वरूप की प्राप्ती होना यह कैवल्य दान कहते है।
ईस प्रकार ईश्वर की ओर से ये चार प्रकार के दान दिये जाते है।

God With Form or God Without Form: Bhagvad Gita, Chapter XII, Verses 1-5

God With Form or God Without Form...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Like all of us, Arjuna was also confused about the proper way to worship God.

So, Arjuna very specifically asked bhagwan Krishna whether one should worship God as a person (WITH FORM) or worship God as impersonal (WITHOUT FORM).
(BG:12:1).

Prabhu Shree Krishna answered
Those who worship me with great faith, I consider them to be perfect. However, those worship the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman with proper control of senses also will finally attain me.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:2,3,4)

Bhagwan Krishna answered: Remember those whose minds are attached to the impersonal, formless, imperishable Brahman will find very difficult to progress in their path since they are born with body and mind.
(Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12:5)

Since the concept of God is very difficult to explain, Rishi Veda Vyasa wrote, we can worship God.
With form - SAGUNA BRAHMAN - as well as Without form - NIRGUNA BRAHMAN

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.

The four means of cult of Mahanubahv Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami in 1267

The four means of cult of Mahanub...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Shri Chakradhar Swami when headed to north direction, at that time all the bahgats and the peoples were in the sadness. They all have one question “Swami, how we can fell your presence and how we can fill your place in our heart?”. Then, at that time, the divine god Shri Chakradhar Swami said “सेवा-दास्य-भजन-पूजन”. So, in this way, every pantha pracharak and people should do worship like this. People will remember the four ways to reach the god and put their soul into peace. Shri Chakradhar Swami give them the way to reach him (Tha ParamPita).

People must do:
  • 1. Sewa – सेवा
  • 2. Dasya – दास्य
  • 3. Bhajan – भजन
  • 4. Poojan – पूजन

Historical sources and religious websites share that Mahanubhava Pantha / Jai Krishni Pantha / Achyuta Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami Or Shree Chakradahrara in 1267. Shri Chakradhar Swami propagated a religious movement, as well as social movement, in which all members were accepted irrespective of their castes, and the traditional ritualistic religion was rejected.

Just saying these divine words, Shri Chakradhar Swami left for the north. Truth is that, these are the only four ways to reach the god and attain the stability of soul. Defining these fours sadhans below. According to Shri Chakradhar Swami, by doing the Sewa-Dasya-Bhajan-Poojan ( सेवा-दास्य-भजन-पूजन ) we can attain the Param Pita Parmeshwar.

1. Sthan – The place; The Tirath place, where the Shri Chakradhar Swami teaches the Gyan & Updesh and the place where the Swami has embedded his footprints. Where the Swami have taken the stand and spent his time. The Stone and The Rocks there are considered as Vishesh “Spiritual Stone”.

जिस जगह पर भगवान अपने भक्तो को ज्ञान उपदेश देते थे, और वह जगह भगवान के चरण स्पर्श पुनीत हो, वह स्थान पवित्र एवं दर्शनीय मना जाता है| वहाकी शीला (पत्थर) नामधारक को “विशेष” दर्शनीय है| उस पत्थर को “विशेष” मना जाता है|

2. Prasad – Using the clothes and belongings of Shri Chakradhar Swami and his disciple, pantha worship these Namaskari clothing and they called it as Prasad. In the Ashram and Temples we respect and do Dandvat salute to these Prasad using these Vastar.

जीन वस्त्रोन का उपयोग स्वामी ने किया और अपने अनुयायी को दिया, वह वस्त्र नमस्कारी है और उन्हे प्रसाद कहा जाता है| आप जीन मंदिरो मे तथा अश्रमो मे प्रसाद नमन करते है वह इन्ही वस्त्रो का उपयोग करके बनाये गये है|

3. Bhikshuk – Remembring the Shri Chakradhar Swami and keeping the cuture same, the adherent are moving this culture forward, these adherent have taken sanyas and spending their whole life in the bhakti of Shri Chakradhar Swami. These Sahdus are the way to reach god, these are the Demi Gods and way of our worship.

श्री चक्रधर भगवान की सेवा में अनेक अनुयायी साथ थे वही परंपरा आज भी कायम है और वह भिक्षुक जीवनभर संन्यास लेकर भगवान की याद किया करते है और जीवन व्यतीत करते है, वह साधू-संत हमारे शुभकामनाये करते है, हमारे दु:ख-दर्द महसूस करके भगवान को याद करते है| वह साधू हमारे लिये भगवान के बराबर है और पूज्यनीय है|

4. Vasnik – Leaving the home and the luxury of life, remembering and chanting only his name is called the Vasnik.

भगवान की याद में अपना सब छोडकर संन्यासी जीवन व्यतीत करते है और संन्यास लेने की कामना करते है वह वासनिक कहलाते है|

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.
