The Sudarshana Chakra is generally portrayed on the right rear hand of the four hands of Shree Krishna, who also holds a shankha (conch shell), a Gada (mace) and a padma (lotus). While in the Rigveda the Chakra was Shree Krishna's symbol as the wheel of time, by the late period Sudarshana.

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Swami - The Divine Light

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:
  1. Narendra : Rukaminiswayamvara (1292)
  2. Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Shishupalvadha (1312)
  3. Bhaskarbhat Borikar : Uddhavgita (1313)
  4. Damodar Pandit : Vachhaharana (1316)
  5. Ravalobas : Sahayadrivaranana (1353)
  6. Narayanbas Bahahaliye : Riddhipurvarnana (1418)
  7. Vishvanath Balapurkar : Janaprabodh (1418)

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

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.

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

🙏 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.

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.
