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

🙏 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|

🙏 जय श्री कृष्ण जी 🙏

🙏 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.

Benefits of Chanting the Name of ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

In the recent times, since spiritual practice and the rituals of shraddha/bhagti bhawna (Rites for the deceased) are not performed as before, most people face problems due to the subtle-bodies of ancestors. Only evolved individuals can advise if there is a possibility of a problem in the future or if an existing problem is due to the subtle-bodies of deceased ancestors.

To prevent problems or to overcome a mild problem, chant ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ daily for one to two hours. At other times, to prevent problems arising out of destiny and for spiritual progress, an average individual or seeker in the primary stage should chant the Name of his Kuladevata (Family Shri) as much as is possible.

If you are not fortunate enough to be guided by an evolved individual, then inferring that inability to find a suitable marriage partner, marital disharmony, inability to conceive, miscarriages, giving birth to a premature child, giving birth to a retarded or handicapped child, deaths in childhood etc. are problems which could be due to subtle-bodies of deceased ancestors, undertake spiritual practice as advised ahead.

If the problem is moderate in nature, chant ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ along with the Name of your Kuladevata for two to four hours daily. Also, go to a Datta temple every Thursday and perform seven circumambulations, and chant one to two malas of ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ in the temple. Do this for about a year. After this, chant three malasof ‘Shri Gurudev Datta’ everyday.
By chanting the Name of Shri Datta in Pitrupaksha(The dark fortnight of the Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapad, when rites are performed for the deceased ancestors), the onward sojourn of the ancestors is faster. Hence, during this period, chant for atleast six hours (or seventy-two malas) daily.

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.

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.

Past and Present - perceptions of...

🙏 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)
