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).

🚩 Five incarnations of Mahanubhava Pantha

Mahanubhav Pantha started by Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami in 1267 and he is the 5th avatar. Earlier to Shree Chakradhar Swami there were 4 more avatars. We call them as Panch Krishna Avatars.

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.

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

The four means of cult of Mahanub...

🙏 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|

Shree Chakardhara Swami ji said By doing the Seva-Dasya-Bhajan-Pujan of these four means Sthan-Prasad-Bhikshuk-Vasnik you can outreach me

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.

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.

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree Dattatreya - Avadhoot Prabhu

Twenty Four Gurus of Lord Shree D...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Lord Shree 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…
Srimad Bhagavatam: Canto 11: Chapter 7: Slokas 33~35
1. Prithvi (Earth) One should acquire the virtues of endurance and tolerance of duality from the earth. The Earth teaches course of Dharma, art of Tolerance, art of Performing Duty.
2. Vaayu (Air) One should be detached like the wind. The Wind being pure and odourless in its characteristics, move freely among all objects and yet remain unaffected. Calm and ever flowing without any fear.
3. Aakash (Sky) Just like the sky one should be single and steady. Like sky, the Soul is omnipresent, all-pervading, and infinite in nature.
4. Jall (Water) Just like water one should behave with affection towards all. Never be partial to anyone. The sage is like water because he is free from all impurities, gentle in nature and while speaking he creates a beautiful vibration like the flowing of water.
5. Agni (Fire) Like the fire one should behave with equality towards all. The sage's glory is like the fire, is made brighter by austerities, his knowledge and tapas; having no vessel other than his stomach.
6. Chandar (Moon) There are in all sixteen phases of the moon including the subtle phase of the new moon and the fifteen of the fortnight. Though there is waxing and waning of the moon, it remains unaffected by them. Sage should not be affected by the continual change of body from birth to death including diseases and old age.
7. Surya (Sun) The sun stores water taking the future into account and benevolently showers it on the earth at the appropriate moment. Similarly the sage can accept material things with his senses, but at the appropriate time he should give these things back, as an act from sense of duty. Without getting attached to material sense objects.
8. Kabootar (Pigeon) Like pigeon story warns against developing obsessive love or attachments in the transient material world. The sage would refrain from attachment after attaining the human body, which is the open door to Mukti (Moksha, Liberation), a door to God-Realization.
9. Ajgar (Python) Ajgar eats whatever comes in its way and satisfy, whether it is sufficient or not, bitter or sweet etc. A sage always goes for search of wisdom and refrains from running after unwanted pleasures.
10. Samudra (Ocean) One should not let anyone perceive one's virtues just as the sea keeps its length, breadth, depth and the treasures in its bed hidden from everyone. However one should always utilise them favourably, for the sake of others. The life of sage remains balanced; the joys of life do not excite him, nor do sorrows depress him. The wise sage never transgresses the highest standards of morality.
11. Patanga (Moth) Similarly a foolish man is enticed by the illusory pleasures of the visual senses and thus gets caught in the ceaseless cycles of birth and death. Man must try to control the sense of sight (and all other senses) and to try to avoid being greedy.
12. Madhu Mskhee (Honey Collector) Just as the one who collects the honey acquires it effortlessly so also a male seeker should partake of food cooked in the home of a householder instead of spending time in making a fire, collecting utensils, firewood, etc. Thus learning that accumulation of wealth leads to sudden death like the honey bee, one should stop amassing wealth.
13. Haathi (Elephant) Men allured by adulterous women are destroyed in the same way as elephants overcome with lust die fighting amongst themselves.
14. Mdhumakkhee (Bumble Bee) Just as the bumble-bee savours the fragrance of several sunflowers instead of one so also seekers desirous of Liberation should realise that every science will not be easy to grasp and hence should try to understand their implied meaning.
15. Hiran (Musk Deer) The deer is very fond of music and is very much attracted by it. The deer is trapped by hunter through its love for music. Hunter employs music to lure the deer before hunting it. A renounced person should never become attracted by mundane sounds like sensuous music, specially the sweet singing and dancing of girl.
16. Machli (Fish) When a fish-hook fastened with bait is thrown into the water, the fish lured by the bait swallows the hook and gets caught. Thus it loses its life. So one should never lose sight of his True Self.
17. Pingala (A Dancing Girl) One night despite a long wait not a single client approached her. As she restlessly waited pacing up and down, hoping for a client she was finally bored and suddenly developed detachment. The abandonment of expectation from people, leads to contentment and infinite joy.
18. Pakshee (Lapwing) Seeing the lapwing fly with a fish in its beak hundreds of crows and eagles began chasing it, pecking at it and tried to snatch the fish, thus harassing it. This flock began following it wherever it went. In this world there is peace only if sense objects are rejected, otherwise it leads to great distress.
19. Balak (Child) Live like being child at heart, innocent, care free and full of Supreme Joy.
20. Churiyaan (Bangles) When two bangles strike each other a jingling sound is generated. The more the bangles the greater is the sound. Similarly when two persons live together it leads to conversation and when many persons live together there is strife. In both circumstances there is no peace of mind. Hence those doing meditation, yoga, etc. should search for an isolated place and live there in seclusion.
21. Shilpkar (Artisan) One day an artisan was chiselling the blade of an arrow with great concentration. A king's procession to the accompaniment of music passed by that way. A man arriving later approached the artisan and enquired, “Have you seen the king's procession passing by this way, just now?” The artisan replied, “I was so engrossesd in my work that I was not aware of anything”. Just like this artisan a seeker desirous of Liberation (mumukshu) should meditate surrendering all his sense organs to The Lord.
22. Saanp (Snake) The snake lives alone and avoids the company of other creatures. In order to seek Self-Realization, one should abide in the cave of his own heart. The snake leaves of its old skin after sometime, and gets the newer one; that make resemblance with phenomenon of death. A true sage never frightened by the death, knowing sooner or later he will get a new life based on his karmic actions.
23. Makadi (Spider) The spider spins a web secreting a fluid from its belly and plays in it day and night. When it feels like it, it swallows the entire web and becomes free again. Lord Supreme creates material universe from His Maya, preserves it and after a while draws it back into the Self. The Supreme Self has no desires and is beyond the reach of cause and effect.
24. Bhringee Keet (Caterpillar, Wasp) The wasp catches hold of a worm (caterpillar), put it in its hive (nest), gives it a sting and goes on buzzing about it. The caterpillar is so frightened by this whole ongoing process of buzzing. As a man thinks, so he becomes. Even at the time of death, whatever one's mind focused on, one attains the same living species form in his next life.
Thus one must try to give up all attachment to the body and attain Moksha or liberation.
Shree Dattatreya explains what he has learned from his own body as a Guru 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.

Three gates leading to the hell of self destruction: Bhagavad Gita, Chapter XVI, Verses 21

Three gates leading to the hell o...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

|| त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन: ||
|| काम: क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ||
|| tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ dvāraṁ nāśhanam ātmanaḥ ||
|| kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet ||

There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul - lust, anger, and greed.

Therefore, all should abandon these three:
  • Lust (Kama): Beyond just physical desire, this represents an obsessive craving for sensory gratification. It creates a cycle of never enough, leading to frustration when the high inevitably fades.
  • Anger (Krodha): Often the byproduct of frustrated desire. When we don't get what we want, anger flares up, destroying our ability to think rationally and damaging our relationships.
  • Greed (Lobha): The bottomless pit. It convinces us that our worth is tied to what we possess, ensuring we remain eternally dissatisfied regardless of our success.

Mahasthan Sarpadwaypathan Sthan, when two snakes had fallen on the Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji

Mahasthan Sarpadwaypathan Sthan, ...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Mahasthan Sarpadwaypathan Sthan (Wadner-Bhujang) सर्पद्वयपतन स्थान (वडनेर-भुजंग) as all of the Mahanuvhava Panth members know that Sarpadwaypathan Sthan is the one of the Mahasthan in our culture. Sarpadwaypathan Sthan is at the north direction of the Anjangaon – Kakada road at Wadner-Bhujang village. The leela is explained below.

Bhagwan Sarvadnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji came from Achapur town via Katesokarne to Wadner village. Swami Ji came here at evening time. Sawami Ji was going to Wateshwar temple to have a sleep. At the same time, the Priest was returning from the temple after the worship. The Priest told Sarvadnya that the temple has been locked to save the ornaments from the theft, so he asked Sarvadnya that he can sleep at the Uttareshwar temple opposite side of the road.

So Swami Ji came at this temple. There were 2 snakes living at the temple who were bitter enemies to each other. At mid night, when Sarvadnya was in between sleep snakes were fighting with each other. Suddenly both of them had fallen on Swami Ji’s chest while fighting with each other. Then Sarvadnya held those 2 snakes in both the hands and make them apart by throwing the Snake at right side to the left and the snake at Left side to the Right. Since that time, those 2 snakes stayed there leaving all the hate and disputes. At this Mahasthan temple, there is a beautiful idol of Sarvandnya Shree Chakradhar Swami Ji holding the two snakes in both the hands.

Sarvadnya Shri Chakradhar Temple:
▫️ Sarpadway Patan Sthan, Anjangaon - Kakada Road,
▫️ Village: Wadner-Bhujang, Block: Achalpur,
▫️ District: Amravati, State: Maharashtra, India

कुम्भार बोला मुझे चौरासी लाख यानि...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

प्रभु श्री कृष्ण ने गोपियों के साथ बहुत-सी लीलायें की हैं। श्री कृष्ण गोपियों की मटकी फोड़ते और माखन चुराते और गोपियाँ श्री कृष्ण का उलाहना लेकर यशोदा मैया के पास जातीं। ऐसा बहुत बार हुआ।
एक बार की बात है कि यशोदा मैया प्रभु श्री कृष्ण के उलाहनों से तंग आ गयीं और छड़ी लेकर श्री कृष्ण की ओर दौड़ी। जब प्रभु ने अपनी मैया को क्रोध में देखा तो वह अपना बचाव करने के लिए भागने लगे।
भागते-भागते श्री कृष्ण एक कुम्भार के पास पहुँचे। कुम्भार तो अपने मिट्टी के घड़े बनाने में व्यस्त था। लेकिन जैसे ही कुम्भार ने श्री कृष्ण को देखा तो वह बहुत प्रसन्न हुआ। कुम्भार जानता था कि श्री कृष्ण साक्षात् परमेश्वर हैं। तब प्रभु ने कुम्भार से कहा कि ‘कुम्भार जी, आज मेरी मैया मुझ पर बहुत क्रोधित है। मैया छड़ी लेकर मेरे पीछे आ रही है। भैया, मुझे कहीं छुपा लो।’
तब कुम्भार ने श्री कृष्ण को एक बडे से मटके के नीचे छिपा दिया। कुछ ही क्षणों में मैया यशोदा भी वहाँ आ गयीं और कुम्भार से पूछने लगी – ‘क्यूँ रे, कुम्भार! तूने मेरे कन्हैया को कहीं देखा है, क्या?’
कुम्भार ने कह दिया – ‘नहीं, मैया! मैंने कन्हैया को नहीं देखा।’ श्री कृष्ण ये सब बातें बडे से घड़े के नीचे छुपकर सुन रहे थे। मैया तो वहाँ से चली गयीं। अब प्रभु श्री कृष्ण कुम्भार से कहते हैं – ‘कुम्भार जी, यदि मैया चली गयी हो तो मुझे इस घड़े से बाहर निकालो।’
कुम्भार बोला – ‘ऐसे नहीं, प्रभु जी! पहले मुझे चौरासी लाख यानियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दो।’ भगवान मुस्कुराये और कहा – ‘ठीक है, मैं तुम्हें चौरासी लाख योनियों से मुक्त करने का वचन देता हूँ। अब तो मुझे बाहर निकाल दो।’
कुम्भार कहने लगा – ‘मुझे अकेले नहीं, प्रभु जी! मेरे परिवार के सभी लोगों को भी चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दोगे तो मैं आपको इस घड़े से बाहर निकालूँगा।’
प्रभु जी कहते हैं – ‘चलो ठीक है, उनको भी चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त होने का मैं वचन देता हूँ। अब तो मुझे घड़े से बाहर निकाल दो ।’
अब कुम्भार कहता है – ‘बस, प्रभु जी! एक विनती और है। उसे भी पूरा करने का वचन दे दो तो मैं आपको घड़े से बाहर निकाल दूँगा।’
भगवान बोले – ‘वो भी बता दे, क्या कहना चाहते हो?’
कुम्भार कहने लगा – ‘प्रभु जी! जिस घड़े के नीचे आप छुपे हो, उसकी मिट्टी मेरे बैलों के ऊपर लाद के लायी गयी है। मेरे इन बैलों को भी चौरासी के बन्धन से मुक्त करने का वचन दो।’
भगवान ने कुम्भार के प्रेम पर प्रसन्न होकर उन बैलों को भी चौरासी के बन्धन से मुक्त होने का वचन दिया।’
प्रभु बोले – ‘अब तो तुम्हारी सब इच्छा पूरी हो गयी, अब तो मुझे घड़े से बाहर निकाल दो।’
तब कुम्भार कहता है – ‘अभी नहीं, भगवन! बस, एक अन्तिम इच्छा और है। उसे भी पूरा कर दीजिये और वो ये है – जो भी प्राणी हम दोनों के बीच के इस संवाद को सुनेगा, उसे भी आप चौरासी लाख योनियों के बन्धन से मुक्त करोगे। बस, यह वचन दे दो तो मैं आपको इस घड़े से बाहर निकाल दूँगा।’
कुम्भार की प्रेम भरी बातों को सुन कर प्रभु श्री कृष्ण बहुत खुश हुए और कुम्भार की इस इच्छा को भी पूरा करने का वचन दिया।
फिर कुम्भार ने बाल श्री कृष्ण को घड़े से बाहर निकाल दिया। उनके चरणों में साष्टांग प्रणाम किया। प्रभु जी के चरण धोये और चरणामृत पीया। अपनी पूरी झोंपड़ी में चरणामृत का छिड़काव किया और प्रभु जी के गले लगकर इतना रोये क़ि प्रभु में ही विलीन हो गये।
जरा सोच करके देखिये, जो बाल श्री कृष्ण सात कोस लम्बे-चौड़े गोवर्धन पर्वत को अपनी इक्क्नी अंगुली पर उठा सकते हैं, तो क्या वो एक घड़ा नहीं उठा सकते थे।
लेकिन बिना प्रेम रीझे नहीं नटवर नन्द किशोर। कोई कितने भी यज्ञ करे, अनुष्ठान करे, कितना भी दान करे, चाहे कितनी भी भक्ति करे, लेकिन जब तक मन में प्राणी मात्र के लिए प्रेम नहीं होगा, प्रभु श्री कृष्ण मिल नहीं सकते।
।। हरी व्यापक सर्वत्र समाना ।।
।। प्रेम से प्रकट होई मैं जाना ।।
मोहन प्रेम बिना नहीं मिलता, चाहे कोई कर ल्यो कोटि उपाय।
करोड़ों उपाय भी चाहे कोई कर लो तो प्रभु को प्रेम के बिना कोई पा नहीं सकता।

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 ।

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

सर्वज्ञ श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी ने उत्तर दिया, महदाइसा! जब भगवन श्री कृष्ण जी राजा कंस का वध करके कारागर की ओर जाने लगे तो वहा देखा की उद्धव देव भयभीत स्तम्भ के पीछे खड़े थे।
श्री कृष्ण जी ने उन्हें छिपा देख कर कहा, अरे! वहा कूँ खड़ा है। उतर देते हुए अन्य सेवक ने कहा। प्रभु जी वहा पर राजा कंस के प्रधान मंत्री है। तत्काल उद्धव ने कहा, प्रभु जी में अपनी बुद्धि से कुछ मंत्रणा कंस के समुख रखा करता था। तब प्रभु जी ने कहा, आपने आजतक कंस का अमात्यतव सवीकारा था, अब आजसे आप हमारा मंत्रितब धारण करो ओर हमे मंत्रणा दिया करो।
प्रभु जी के इन्ही वचनों के साथ उद्धव देव को प्रेम संक्रमण हुआ ओर उन्होंने प्रभु जी को सहस्तांग दंडवत प्रणाम कर, खुदको धन्य माना|

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
नियमानुसार एक दिन आश्रमकी देखभाल आउसा कर रही थी। एक कुत्तेको आया देखकर उसने उसे पत्थर मारा। पत्थर लगते ही कुत्ता चिल्लाता हुआ पूँछ दबाकर बाहरकी ओर भाग गया। कुत्तेका रोना था कि उधर भगवान दोनों हाथोंमें अपना मस्तक थामकर बैठ गये।
भगवानको श्रीमुकुट थामे देख आउसाका रंग उड गया। वह भागकर उनके पास जा पहुँची। उसने अकुलाकर खिन्न मनसे पूछा - 'महाराज! मैंने मारा तो कुत्तेको है, आप कयों मस्तक थामकर बैठ गये हैं ?'
भगवानने समझाया - 'आउसा ! ईश्वरस्वरूप सर्वत्र व्यापक है। किसी जीव पर किये प्रहारका इसीलिये वह अनुभव करता है। तुमने उस प्राणीको पत्थर मारा, उसकी पीड़ा हमें हुई, इसीलिए हमने मस्तक थाम लिया।' फिर उन्होंने कुछ थमकर पूछा - 'बताओ तो तुमने उसे मारा कयों है ?'
आउसाने उत्तर दिया, 'महाराज! कल यही कुत्ता नागदेवके भिक्षान्नकी झोली उठा ले गया था। आज यह पुनः कुछ उठानेकी नीयतसे आया था। यदि मैं इसे न मारती, तो यह अवश्य ही आज भी कुछ ले भागता। अतः मैंने उसे समुचित दंड दिया है , तो कोई अपराध नहीं किया।'
भगवानने कहा, 'आउसा ! मनुष्यके समान इसे पकाकर खिलानेवाला तो कोई है नहीं, जहाँ जाकर यह आरामसे खायेगा। इस बेचारेने तो इसी तरह घूम-फिरकर पेट भरना है। तुम अपनी चीजोंको सम्भालकर रखो, उसके लिए इसे क्यों दंडित करती हो ? यह तो खुद तुम्हारा दोष है। इस तरह वस्तुओंको असुरक्षित रखोगी, तो यह तो मुँह मारेगा ही।'
भगवानके उदात्त विचारोंके आगे आउसा नतमस्तक हो गई और उसने *अपने अपराधकी क्षमा माँगकर पुनः वैसा न करनेकी प्रतिज्ञा ली।
।। जय श्री चक्रधर जी ।।
