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.

What is Karma: Action or Deed

What is Karma: Action or Deed

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Karma is a Sanskrit term. It means action or deed. Any physical or mental action is Karma. Thinking is mental Karma. Karma is the sum total of our acts, both in the present life and in the preceding births.

Karma means not only action, but also the result of an action. There is a hidden power in Karma or action termed 'Adrishta' which brings in fruits of Karmas for the individual. The consequence of an action is really not a separate thing. It is a part of the action and cannot be divided from it.

According to the Gita, any action done with Nishkamya Bhava (selflessness) is Karma.
Lord Krishna says: Work incessantly. Your duty is to work but not to expect the fruits thereof. The central teaching of the Gita is non-attachment to work. Breathing, eating, seeing, hearing, thinking, etc., are all Karmas. Thinking is real Karma. Raga-dvesha (likes and dislikes) constitute real karma.

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Yoga of wisdom and realization.

Prabhu Sri Krishna Ji said:
I am the sapidity in water, O Arjuna!
I am the light in the moon and the sun
I am the syllable AUM 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
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 I!
Of the strong, I am the strength devoid of desire and attachment, and in [all] beings.
I am the desire unopposed to Dharma, 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.

Recalling the name is the way to salvation and the goals of meditation

Recalling the name is the way to ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

During the times, when Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji was residing in Khudkuli. At the dawn Swami Ji was in meditation portrait, at that moment Nagdev Ji asked the lord “Please give me the way to attain parmeshwar; Give me the process to chant parmeshwar; Give me the way to remember parmeshwar since I don’t have anything to remember the parmeshwar”.

After the hankering urge of Nagdev. Swami Ji said. Contemplation is generated only from the depth of soul. You must remember him every day. Every day you must chant the name. On this, Nagdev Ji asked. How the process should be. How I can learn this. To make the doubt clear, Swami Ji said, Recall the first four names during day and night time, but the fifth name must be recalled all the times.

10 reasons why we meditate
🚩 वेध – Perforation
🚩 बोध – Comprehension
🚩 अनुसरण – Pursuance
🚩 स्मरण – Remembrance
🚩 सभी निग्रहों का परिहार – Avoidance of all constraints
🚩 चरों ओर से आने वाले महद भूतों के कष्टों का निवारण – Redress the suffering of ghosts from all direstions
🚩 बिजली गिरने के समान दुखों का दूर करना – Removal of the restriction like lightning
🚩 सभी प्रकार से सहायता करना – To assist with all types
🚩 और परमेश्वर प्राप्ति करना – And to receive the parmeshwar
🚩 सभी प्रकार के आधिदैविक अधिभौतिक एवं आध्यत्मिक विघ्न कष्टों से बचाना – Lord save from the metaphysical, spiritual sufferings of all sorts of obstacles

With these ways and the goals, you can attain the divine spirit. never forgot the names. While standing, sitting, sleeping, eating, drinking, walking you must recall the names. On this, Mahadaisa asked the Lord. Prabhu ji, we will meditate about you. But, for whom you do meditation. Sarvadnya replied, i do meditation for the welness of all the souls and beside this i do remind about the moment when my Guru Shree Gundam Raul ji slaped me with his love.

चक्रधर स्वामीजी ने कहा इसी प्रकार पञ्च कृष्ण अवतारों के स्मरण के बाद अपने अपने गुरु निमित की भी याद करनी चाहिए। वेध गुरु, उपदेश गुरु, बोध गुरु, शाश्त्र उद्देश्य गुरु, दीक्षा देत गुरु एव अनेक प्रकार के गुरु निमितों को याद करना चाहिए।

नाम स्मरण ही उद्धार है। - Name recall is salvation.
नाम स्मरण से ही कल्याण है। - Remember the name for well-being.
नाम स्मरण ही मोक्ष का आधार है। - Recalling the name is the way to salvation.

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.

  • 2. Atreh patny anasuuyaa triin~ jajn~e suyashasah sutaan dattam duurvaasasam somam aatmesha-brahma- sambhavaan (Srimad Bhagavatam 4.1.15).
  • 3. The Vishnu-dharmottara Purana describes in great detail the iconographic details of the avatara-s of Lord Vishnu and here is the reference for Sri Dattatreya.
  • 4. Brahmanda Purana says–“Lord Dattatreya gave the memory of Vedas to the Vedamurthy Sree Brahma Deva Himself.
  • 5. The Upanishads Avadhutopanishad and Jaabaaldarshanopanishad mention that the philosophy is given by Shri Dattatreya.
  • 6. Upanishads and Puranas are openly telling and Guru avatharas are guiding us to recite Datta Nama Smaran.
