A short information about Mahanubhava Pantha

Mahanubhava Pantha is a religious sect following the teachings of Panch Avatars of pantha. Mahanubhava Pantha originated during the late 12th century and from the Varhada region of Maharashtra. Pantha teaches how to connect the inner soul with the parmewshwara bhagti and attain moksha.

Pancha Avatars Of Mahanubhava Pantha | Dandvat

Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami told to his pantha that the lord takes avatars in all four Yugas (Krutayuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, Kaliyuga). Same was said by Shree Krishna in Shree Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”. Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when avatar of prabhu is absent.

Brahmvidya Shastra, It is a collection of main vachans (sutras) of Swami Shree Chakardhara and presents the philosophical core of Mahanubhav Pantha. Very well planned and carefully organized into various sections, it is revered as our Shastra mop Parmeshwar (God in the form of scripture).

Pancha Avatars Of Mahanubhava Pantha | Dandvat

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. Some sources list the founder of Mahanubhava as Govinda Prabhu and Chakradhara as its first “apostle”.

Mahanubhava Pantha teaches that Krishna is the only God in Universe.

Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami told to his pantha that the lord takes avatars in all four Yugas (Krutayuga, Tretayuga, Dwaparyuga, Kaliyuga). Same was said by Shree Krishna in Shree Bhagavad Gita: “Dharma Sansthaapnaarthay Sambhavaami Yuge Yuge”. Accordingly, there is not a time in this world when avatar of prabhu is absent.

Vāsudeva Shree Krishna - The Supreme God

Vāsudeva Shree Krishna - The Supr...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Krishna, the meaning of the word in Sanskrit is all-attractive.
He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, also called as God of gods. In other words, Krishna is the Godhead because He is all-attractive.
From practical experience we can observe that one is attractive due to:

(1) Wealth: Ownership and control over all.
He is Laksmi-pati (the husband of the Goddess of Fortune). All material and spiritual energies belong to Him.

(2) Power: The strength to create, maintain, and dissolve.
Demonstrated through feats like lifting Govardhan Hill or maintaining the orbits of countless planets through His energies.

(3) Fame: Being known and celebrated across time and space.
His pastimes (Lilas) are sung in every corner of the world, and His influence spans across millennia without fading.

(4) Beauty: Physical and spiritual charm that draws the heart.
Described as Kandarpa-koti-kamaniya—His beauty exceeds that of millions of Cupids, attracting even the most stoic minds.

(5) Wisdom: Complete knowledge of the past, present, and future.
Best exemplified by the Bhagavad Gita, a concise yet infinite philosophical treatise that remains the ultimate guide for humanity.

(6) Renunciation: The ability to be detached despite possessing everything.
Though He is the creator of the universe, He remains unaffected and detached, often playing the role of a simple cowherd boy.

One who is in possession of all six of these opulences at the same time and who possesses them to an unlimited degree is understood to be the Supreme Personality of Godhead according to Parasara Muni a great Vedic authority.

Krishna is the principal protagonist with Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita also known as the Song of God, which depicts the conversation between the Royal Prince Arjuna and Krishna during the great battle of Kurukshetra 5000 years ago where Arjuna discovers that Krishna is God and then comprehends his nature and will for him and for mankind. In the present age Krishna is one of the most widely revered and most popular of all Indian divinities.

She started with the arti, then greeted the lord with Beeda(वीड़ा). She started rubbing turmeric over the body of the Lord, then after shared the bowl with the bhagats. The bhagats have rubbed the same material on each other. Then they washed the Lord. Mahadaisa was pouring water and Baisa is rubbing the body. Bhagats were standing beneath and they are also washing them with the same Charan Amrit. In this way, the sanan is done.

महात्माओं की दीवाली
एक दिन महदाइसाने भगवानसे प्रार्थना की, ‘महाराज ! मैं आपकी सेवामें दीवालीका त्यौहार मनाऊँगी ।’ भगवानने आज्ञा दी, ‘हमारे साथ महात्मालोगोंकी भी दीवाली मनायी जाये । त्यौहार मनानेका सामान यदि कम हो, तो नागुबाइसासे माँग लो।’

महदाइसाने ‘जो आज्ञा’ कहकर सबको स्नान करानेके लिये संध्याके समय ही पानी भर लिया । उमाइसाके घरसे उबटन, तेल तथा साबुन ले आयी । उस दिन भगवान् बहुत सवेरे उठकर शौच आदिसे निवृत्त होकर आसनपर आ बैठे । भक्तलोगोंको भी बैठाया गया । महदाइसाने भक्त तथा भगवानकी आरती उतारी और भगवानको वीड़ा दिया । महदाइसाने भगवानके शरीरपर उबटन मला । उस कटोरीमें और तेल डालकर उसने भक्तोंको दिया । उन्होंने उबटनसे परस्पर एक-दूसरेके शरीरका मर्दन किया । उसने भगवानके सिरपर तेलकी मालिश की । भगवानको ऊँचे चबूतरेपर बिठलाया गया । नारियलके दूधसे उनका सिर धोया गया । भक्तजनोंको भी हरे नारियलका दूध सिरमें लगानेको दिया गया । उन्होंने एक-दूसरेके सिरपर मल लिया । फिर भगवानको जलसे नहलाया गया । महदाइसा पानी डाल रही थी और बाइसाजी सिर तथा शरीरको मल रही थी । भक्तलोग चबूतरेके नीचे खड़े होकर उस पानीसे नहा रहे थे । अंतमें जब भगवानकी श्रीमूर्तिपर पानीकी धार डाली गयी, तो भगवानने दोनों हाथ सिरपर रख लिये । पानी कुहनियोंसे होकर बहने लगा । उस पानीसे भक्तजन नहाये । इस प्रकार भगवान् तथा भक्तोंको स्नान करवाया गया ।

शरीरपर बाल अधिक होनेके कारण नागदेवजीको और अलग पानी देकर नहलाया गया । महदाइसाने कुछ वस्तुएँ लेकर भगवानके सिरसे वार दीं । उसके पश्चात भगवानने वस्त्र पहिन लिये । भगवानको आसनपर बिठलाकर उनकी पूजा की गयी । सभीको चंदनका तिलक लगाया गया । पुनश्च सभीके सिरपरसे कुछ वस्तुएँ वार दी गयीं । भगवानको वीड़ा और भक्तजनोंको पान दिये गये । भगवानने सबको पान खानेकी आज्ञा दी । सबने पान खाये । उतनेमें अरुणोदय हो जानेपर बाइसाजीने दैनिक पूजाअवसर किया । बादमें भगवान् विहरणके लिये चले गये और महदाइसा भोजन बनानेमें लग गयी ।

विहरणसे भगवानके लौटनेपर महदाइसाने पूजाअवसर किया । भगवानके लिये थाल और भक्तोंके लिये पत्तलें परोसी गयीं । भगवानके साथ बैठकर सब भक्तजनोंने भोजन किया । इस प्रकार दीपावली मनायी गयी ।

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

यहां से भगवान की ने बाईसा माताजी और नागदेव की को भी परमेश्वर पुर भेजा हुआ था! वे श्री गोविंद प्रभु जी के दर्शन कर वापिस श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी के पास चलपड़े! भगवान से उन्हें माईतया के घर भेंट हुई!

बोलिए श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी की जय
।। श्रीचक्रधरार्पणम् ।।

म्हाइंमभट्ट जी का अहंभाव दूर करना

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री गोविंद प्रभु राया
एकदिन म्हाइंभट्ट जी ने सर्वज्ञ श्री गोविंद प्रभु जी के लिए अच्छा उपहार तैयार करवाया। तैल मर्दन, स्नानादि क्रियाके पश्चात श्रीप्रभु सर्वज्ञ को बहुमूल्य वस्त्र पहनाया गया। प्रसन्नतावश उस किमती बहुमूल्य वस्त्रको पहने सर्वज्ञ आनंदसे आगनमें इधर-उधर घुम रहे थे, तो सर्वज्ञ श्रीगोविंदप्रभुबाबाकी प्रसन्नता देखकर *म्हाइंमभट्टजीको अहंभाव जागृत हो उठा की यह मैं ही म्हाइंमभट्ट हूं, जीसका इतना बहुमूल्य किमती वस्त्र श्रीप्रभुबाबा स्वीकार कर रहे है !!! घट घटके जाननहार सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुबाबासे भला म्हाइंमभट्टके मनमें जागृत हुई इस अहंभावना कैसे छुपी रह सकती। उसे जान तत्काल उस वस्त्र उतार सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुबाबाने दूसरा वस्त्र पहन लिया, और उस वस्त्र पर पाद प्रहार कर बोले- अरे पगले व्यर्थमें ही इसकी बड़ाई कर रहा है! इसे अभी हम फाड देंगे!' कहकर उस वस्त्रको इधर-उधर घसीटने लगे। उस समय श्रीसर्वज्ञके सन्मुख जानेकी कीसी को हिम्मत नहीं हो रही थी जिससे उन्हें विनंतीकी जाय।

तब श्रीआचार्यजीने म्हाइंमभट्ट जी से पूछा, ' म्हाइंमभट्ट! क्या तुमने मनमें कोई कल्पना तो नहीं की ?' उत्तरमें म्हाइंमभट्टजी बोले, 'हां ! आचार्य! मैंने वस्त्र के संबंधमें कल्पना कर संतोष अनुभव कर रहा था।

आचार्यजी समझाते हुए बोले, 'भट्टजी, हम जीवोंके पास है ही क्या, जो हम परमेश्वरको समर्पित कर सकें? तुमने किया ही क्या था? की मनमें इतना संतोष मान बैठे? अब सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुबाबासे क्षमा माँगते नमस्कार डालीये !!!!!।

तब म्हाइंमभट्टजीने साष्टांग नमस्कार डालते आर्तभरे स्वरमें सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुबाबासे क्षमा माँगते प्रार्थना करते विनंती की- 'हे भगवन् मैं अपराधी हूं, मैंने अहंभाववश मनमें व्यर्थकी कल्पना की थी, मेरे इस अपराधके लिए मुझे क्षमा किजीये श्रीप्रभु राया। आपके सम्मुख वह वस्त्र है ही क्या? किंतु! अज्ञानतावश मैं यह जान ही न सका। मेरी यह अबुधताके लिए मुझे क्षमा किजिए !!!!!' यह कहकर वे रो पडे तो करुणाधन सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभु राया का दिल पसीज उठा। प्रसन्न होकर श्रीराया बोले,' अरे पगले! उठ जा ! उठ जा, जल्दी, क्यों नहीं उठ रहा ! पगले! अब तो तुम मेरे और भी अधिक प्रिय बन गये हो!

म्हाइंमभट्टजी उठकर वह वस्त्र ले आये तो सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुरायाने उसको पुनः पहन लिया। कुछ दिनोंतक श्रीप्रभुबाबाके पहननेके पश्चात म्हाइंमभट्टजीने उस वस्त्र को धोनेके लिए दे दिया। उसके पश्चात सर्वज्ञ श्रीप्रभुराया उस वस्त्रको प्रतिदिन पहनते ही रहे।

महात्माओं की दीवाली:-
एक दिन महदाइसाने भगवानसे प्रार्थना की, ‘महाराज ! मैं आपकी सेवामें दीवालीका त्यौहार मनाऊँगी।’ भगवानने आज्ञा दी, ‘हमारे साथ महात्मालोगोंकी भी दीवाली मनायी जाये। त्यौहार मनानेका सामान यदि कम हो, तो नागुबाइसासे माँग लो।’

महदाइसाने ‘जो आज्ञा’ कहकर सबको स्नान करानेके लिये संध्याके समय ही पानी भर लिया। उमाइसाके घरसे उबटन, तेल तथा साबुन ले आयी। उस दिन भगवान बहुत सवेरे उठकर शौच आदिसे निवृत्त होकर आसनपर आ बैठे। भक्तलोगोंको भी बैठाया गया। महदाइसाने भक्त तथा भगवानकी आरती उतारी और भगवानको वीड़ा दिया। महदाइसाने भगवानके शरीरपर उबटन मला। उस कटोरीमें और तेल डालकर उसने भक्तोंको दिया। उन्होंने उबटनसे परस्पर एक-दूसरेके शरीरका मर्दन किया। उसने भगवानके सिरपर तेलकी मालिश की। भगवानको ऊँचे चबूतरेपर बिठलाया गया। नारियलके दूधसे उनका सिर धोया गया। भक्तजनोंको भी हरे नारियलका दूध सिरमें लगानेको दिया गया। उन्होंने एक-दूसरेके सिरपर मल लिया। फिर भगवानको जलसे नहलाया गया। महदाइसा पानी डाल रही थी और बाइसाजी सिर तथा शरीरको मल रही थी। भक्तलोग चबूतरेके नीचे खड़े होकर उस पानीसे नहा रहे थे। अंतमें जब भगवानकी श्रीमूर्तिपर पानीकी धार डाली गयी, तो भगवानने दोनों हाथ सिरपर रख लिये। पानी कुहनियोंसे होकर बहने लगा। उस पानीसे भक्तजन नहाये। इस प्रकार भगवान तथा भक्तोंको स्नान करवाया गया ।

शरीरपर बाल अधिक होनेके कारण नागदेवजीको और अलग पानी देकर नहलाया गया। महदाइसाने कुछ वस्तुएँ लेकर भगवानके सिरसे वार दीं। उसके पश्चात भगवानने वस्त्र पहिन लिये। भगवानको आसनपर बिठलाकर उनकी पूजा की गयी। सभीको चंदनका तिलक लगाया गया। पुनश्च सभीके सिरपरसे कुछ वस्तुएँ वार दी गयीं। भगवानको वीड़ा और भक्तजनोंको पान दिये गये। भगवानने सबको पान खानेकी आज्ञा दी। सबने पान खाये। उतनेमें अरुणोदय हो जानेपर बाइसाजीने दैनिक पूजाअवसर किया। बादमें भगवान विहरणके लिये चले गये और महदाइसा भोजन बनानेमें लग गयी ।

विहरणसे भगवानके लौटनेपर महदाइसाने पूजाअवसर किया। भगवानके लिये थाल और भक्तोंके लिये पत्तलें परोसी गयीं। भगवानके साथ बैठकर सब भक्तजनोंने भोजन किया। इस प्रकार दीपावली मनायी गयी ।

भगवान श्री कृष्ण जी को छप्पन भोग ...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

भगवान को लगाए जाने वाले भोग की बड़ी महिमा है। इनके लिए 56 प्रकार के व्यंजन परोसे जाते हैं, जिसे छप्पन भोग कहा जाता है। यह भोग रसगुल्ले से शुरू होकर दही, चावल, पूरी, पापड़ आदि से होते हुए इलायची पर जाकर खत्म होता है।
अष्ट पहर भोजन करने वाले बालकृष्ण भगवान को अर्पित किए जाने वाले छप्पन भोग के पीछे कई रोचक कथाएं हैं।

भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गोवर्धन पर्वत को उठाया:
ऐसा भी कहा जाता है कि यशोदाजी बालकृष्ण को एक दिन में अष्ट पहर भोजन कराती थी। अर्थात् बालकृष्ण आठ बार भोजन करते थे। जब इंद्र के प्रकोप से सारे व्रज को बचाने के लिए भगवान श्रीकृष्ण ने गोवर्धन पर्वत को उठाया था, तब लगातार सात दिन तक भगवान ने अन्न जल ग्रहण नहीं किया।
आठवे दिन जब भगवान ने देखा कि अब इंद्र की वर्षा बंद हो गई है, सभी व्रजवासियो को गोवर्धन पर्वत से बाहर निकल जाने को कहा, तब दिन में आठ प्रहर भोजन करने वाले व्रज के नंदलाल कन्हैया का लगातार सात दिन तक भूखा रहना उनके व्रज वासियों और मया यशोदा के लिए बड़ा कष्टप्रद हुआ। भगवान के प्रति अपनी अन्न्य श्रद्धा भक्ति दिखाते हुए सभी व्रजवासियो सहित यशोदा जी ने 7 दिन और अष्ट पहर के हिसाब से 7X8= 56 व्यंजनो का भोग बाल कृष्ण को लगाया।

गोपिकाओं ने भेंट किए छप्पन भोग:
श्रीमद्भागवत के अनुसार, गोपिकाओं ने एक माह तक यमुना में भोर में ही न केवल स्नान किया, अपितु कात्यायनी मां की अर्चना भी इस मनोकामना से की, कि उन्हें नंदकुमार ही पति रूप में प्राप्त हों। श्रीकृष्ण ने उनकी मनोकामना पूर्ति की सहमति दे दी। व्रत समाप्ति और मनोकामना पूर्ण होने के उपलक्ष्य में ही उद्यापन स्वरूप गोपिकाओं ने छप्पन भोग का आयोजन किया।
छप्पन भोग हैं छप्पन सखियां ऐसा भी कहा जाता है कि गौलोक में भगवान श्रीकृष्ण राधिका जी के साथ एक दिव्य कमल पर विराजते हैं। उस कमल की तीन परतें होती हैं…प्रथम परत में “आठ”, दूसरी में “सोलह” और तीसरी में “बत्तीस पंखुड़िया” होती हैं। प्रत्येक पंखुड़ी पर एक प्रमुख सखी और मध्य में भगवान विराजते हैं। इस तरह कुल पंखुड़ियों संख्या छप्पन होती है। 56 संख्या का यही अर्थ है।
