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:

Narendra : Rukaminiswayamvara (1292)
Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Shishupalvadha (1312)
Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Uddhavgita (1313)
Damodar Pandit : Vachhaharana (1316)
Ravalobas : Sahayadrivaranana (1353)
Narayanbas Bahahaliye : Riddhipurvarnana (1418)
Vishvanath Balapurkar : Janaprabodh (1418)

Leela Charitar is the literature ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Maharashtra the epicenter. While touring the omniscient Lord Shree Chakardhara Swami Ji arrived in Maharashtra and created a number of leelas, because of these reasons this is a place of pilgrimage in Maharashtra. To learn more about these mystrical leelas of Lord Shree Chakardhara you will read the book entitled “Leela Charitar”. Beside this, the pujniey guru ji or the Mahatmas will help you to understad this Mahan Granth.

The followers of Lord Shree Chakardhara Swami Ji are Nagadevacarya, Maimabhatta, Baisa and Mahadaisa. These have taken the charge to direct the bhagats after the departure of the Lord towards the North direction.

Now, for the promotion and cultivation of the pantha, the Shree MadBhagwad Gita is the prime cult. Leela Charitar is the literature defining the life of the Lord Shree Chakardhara Swami.

Few of the most important literature of Pantha are as below:
🌸 Rukhmini Swayambar - Narendra Bhatt (1292).
🌸 Shisupala Vadh - Bhaskar Bhat Borikara (1312).
🌸 Uddhava Gita - Bhaskar Bhat Borikara (1313).
🌸 Sayhyadrivarnana - Ravalobasa (1353).
🌸 Riddhapura Varnanan - Narayanabasa (1418).
🌸 Vacchaharanam - Damodhara Pandit (1316).
🌸 Gyaan Prabodha - Vishwanath Balapurkar (1418).

Literatures of Mahanubhava Pantha are too famous in the Marathi Language and in the history of Marathi it is too vast.
The first biographer, sutrakara, grammarian, the first commentator, mahabhasyakara, writer, first sastratikara, the first prameyakara, the first stanza creator, the first bandakara. This is not the end, the very forst Poet of the Marathi is even from the Mahanubhava Pantha. Similarly in this way the people of Mahanubhava Pantha have played tremendous role in the history of Marathi and Maratha Samaj.

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.

Three gates leading to the hell o...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

|| त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन: ||
|| काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ||
|| tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ dvāraṁ nāśhanam ātmanaḥ ||
|| kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet ||

There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul - lust, anger, and greed.

Therefore, all should abandon these three:

Lust (Kama): Beyond just physical desire, this represents an obsessive craving for sensory gratification. It creates a cycle of never enough, leading to frustration when the high inevitably fades.
Anger (Krodha): Often the byproduct of frustrated desire. When we don't get what we want, anger flares up, destroying our ability to think rationally and damaging our relationships.
Greed (Lobha): The bottomless pit. It convinces us that our worth is tied to what we possess, ensuring we remain eternally dissatisfied regardless of our success.

Prabhu Shree Chakarapani Ji sacri...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

In the village called Kauli, there was a hut elf hat yogini Kamakhya. She had disposed many sadhu saints from her ascension and with her beauty and her gestures. On hearing the power and capacitation of Shree Chakarapani Maharaj Ji she too reached there.

With her appearance and colours of beauty, she tried lord to attracted toward herself. Prabhu Ji was in celibacy and inside the cave, Prabhu Ji was in the meditation mode. She was trying to enter the cave, but she can't because she was tied to the oath of Shree Dattatreya. From outside the cave, she was doing a lot of praise & tried to distract the lord.

She tried thousand times but Prabhu Ji hasn't given up. Similarly, the thing was going and this is the seventh day. Now, in the end, Shri Chakarapani Ji gave up his body with Yoga power. On the seventh day, she entered the cave and saw that the Lord had left his body. At the end, she praised the Prabhu Ji and said she successfully distracted & deployed many types of Maha Purakhs & Saints from their path, but the Prabhu Shree Chakarapani Ji was strong enough and he gave up his body.

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.
