Shree Dattatreya: My bliss and co...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Soul alone is my Guru.Once King Yadu saw Lord Dattatreya (Avadhoot) wandering in a forest happily, free from worries. The king with humbleness asked the sage, about the secret of his happiness and the name of his Guru. Further said to sage, that despite you look capable and wise, why do you live in the forest. Even though you have no family, nor any loved one, how could you be so blissful and self-contented?

To answer the Yadu’s enquired queries, the Lord Dattatreya (Avadhoot, one who have given up all worldly desires) replied:
My bliss and contentment are the fruits of self-realization. Soul (Aatmaa) alone is my Guru, yet I have gained the necessary wisdom from the whole creation, via 24 individual who were therefore my Gurus. I shall elaborate the same for you.

Further Lord 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.

Further Lord Dattatreya explains what he has learned from his own body. 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.

Surrender everything to me, I am ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree Krishna said that during the last chapter since, he exhausted all other advice to Arjuna regarding:
1. Jnana Yoga: The path of external renunciation, where outside activity is given up in pursuit of inner enquiry.
2. Karma Yoga: It purifies the mind. It leads one to consider dharma of work, and the work according to one's dharma, doing god's work.
3. Raja Yoga: It does emphasize the importance of self-control, meditation, and inner discipline, which are core principles of Raja Yoga, and discusses various yogic paths including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga.

Sarva-Dharman parityajya mam ekam sharanam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo mokshayishyami ma shuchah.

Lord Krishna said: Abandon all Dharma (duties) and just surrender unto me (the will of God). I shall deliver you from all bonds of Karma. Do not fear.

Original Leela in Marathi:
केशववीहीरी उद्यापनी सातरा आरोगणा :
सासु सुनेची विहिर ऋद्धपुर

ऋद्धपुर च्या पुर्वेला तिवसा रोडवर असलेली श्री गोविंद प्रभुं चरणांकित, ही विहिर सासु, सुनेची विहिर म्हणून प्रसिद्ध आहे.
लिळा :
नगराच्या पूर्वेस केशवनायकांनी विहिर खोदली. परंतु पाणी लागत नाही म्हणुन चिंतित झाले. मग श्रीप्रभु बाबांना विनंती केली, “ बाबा मी खुप कष्टाने विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागत नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, “अवो मेला जाए, वीहीरी खणावी म्हणे : न खणावी म्हणे : मेला जाए खणावीची म्हणे :” तेंव्हा केशव नायक म्हणाले, “जी,जी एव्हडी खोल विहिर खोदली परंतु पाणी लागले नाही.” सर्वज्ञ म्हणाले, अवो मेला जाए खण म्हणे : आणि श्री चरणाचा अंगठा लावला. केशवनायकांनी थोडे खोदताच, खुप पाणी लागले. संपुर्ण विहिर पाण्याने भरली. सर्वजन आश्चर्यचकित झाले.

नंतर केशवनायकांनी सुंदर चिरेबंदी विहिर बांधली. आता फक्त वरील काठ बांधणे बाकी होते. तेंव्हा श्रीप्रभु म्हणाले, “मेला जाए, सीसवठी न बांधता, अगोदर उद्यापन कर म्हणे :” केशव नायक म्हणाले, ज्याअर्थी गोसावी म्हणतात तेंव्हा पुढे काही तरी कठीन प्रसंग असेल ! म्हणून उद्यापण करवित असतील. मग केशव नायकांनी उद्यापऩाची तयारी केली. माडव घातला, ब्राम्हण बोलावले, हवण केले, ब्राम्हणाला जेउ घातले. नंतर गोसावी तेथे बीजे केले, विहीरीमधे एका ठिकाणी बसुन आरोगणा झाली.

इकडे त्याच दिवसी कटक देवगीरीला विठ्ठलनायक व दाएनायकांना, जे राज दरबारा मधे दरबारी होते तृटी आली म्हणून पकडले. केशवनायक त्यांचे व्याही होते, व त्यांनी काही वस्तू केशवनायकां कडे ठेवली होती. म्हणून केशवनायक ही नागवले गेले. तेंव्हा केशवनायक म्हणाले, “राउळांनी येणा-या संकटाची सुचना म्हणून उद्यापण करविले..! [ऋ.च. १५५]

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)
