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

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.

Shree Dattatreya: My bliss and contentment are the fruits of self-realization

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.

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]

Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita one of the holy books of Hinduism. Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita is written thousands of years ago consists of 18 chapters.

The date of the Kurukshetra war and the delivery of Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna by Sri Krishna are supposed to be around 3139 BCE.
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

Shree Mad Bhagavad Gita text is organized in twelve Skandhas (books) subdivided into 332 Adhyayas (chapters), and has between 16,000 to 18,000 verses, depending on the manuscript version. Of the 12 books, it is the 10th book with about 4,000 verses that has been the most popular, studied and recognized. The text asserts that it is Krishna in literary form.
Each chapter is called a yoga. Yoga is the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness. So each chapter is a highly specialized yoga revealing the path of attaining realization of the Ultimate Truth. The first six chapters have been classified as the Karma Yoga section as they mainly deal with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness through actions.

These chapters are:

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar avatar of Mahanubhav Pantha

Sthans and presence of Parmeshwar...

🙏 Dandvat Pranam 🙏

Ubhaydarshi avatar having relation with any of the inertness and the place are sacred. These sacred place and objects have the two special forces 1. Maya Samarthya Shakti and 2. Kripa Shakti. In the Sathan the Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) is President and the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) is Subsidiary. But where the blessing of the god is present, where the Parmeshwar avatar (Ubhaydarshi avatar) have taken the stand for the sufficient days are having the Anushangik (आनुषांगिक) as President and Maya Samarthya (माया सामर्थ्य) as Subsidiary.

Classifications of Sthan
Since the Parmeshwara avatar is having the numbers of competency, but the major one is Kripa Shakti and Kripa Shakti develops at own. The places and the Sathans are divided according to the categories of time. The time spent by the Parmeshawar avatar on the places make them the sacred places and the Sathan. In our Mahanubhav Pantha the Sathan is the one of the most sacred thing.

Aasan Sthan – आसनस्थान
The sthan where the Parmeshwar avatar have taken rest for few hours. Hours may vary from 5 to 7 hours. This is the first type of Sthan. Sthan is blessed with the powers of the Parmeshwar Shakti. Making pilgrimage of the Sthan’s is the culture of Mahanubhav Pantha.

Charan Chari – चरणचारि
Places where the Parmeshwar avatar have been standing without the slippers and the wooden Paduka (पादुका). There might be reasons behind this, but the footprints and the places is very sacred for the Mahanubhav Panth.

Vasti Sthan – वसति स्थान
Prameshwar avatar are always on the way to help people to attain Moksha and set them free from their sins and previous Karmas. In between the time, they have taken rest for one night. This makes the Sathan as Vasti Sthan. Our Panch avatar’s are always flowing from one to another place.

Kudi Vasti – कुड़ी वसति
Kudi Vasti is similar to the Vasti Sthan, the difference is that in the Vasti Sthan the time period is only one night, but the Kudi Vasti is having the one day two nights or two day two nights. This is how the Vasti Sthan and Kudi Vasti are different.

Sthan – स्थान
Sthan, now here we come with the same thing but the different time period. Here the Parmeshwar avatar have slept for there to five days. The place is more sacred as compare to the Kudi Vasti. Sthan is the most common word used, but the Sthans are divided too.

Avasthan – अवस्थान
Avasthan, here we have the time period of five to nine days. Here the Parmeshwar avatar blessed the sacred place with more presence.

Mahasthan – महास्थान
Mahasthan, finally this is the last and the most blessed sacred place. The time period is more than the nine days, this might be 1 month, 2 months, 6 months and even in the years. The Mahasthan is where the Parmeshwar avatar have been living and making the people aware about the Bliss (Moksha) and ways to attain Moksha.

॥ जय सर्वज्ञ श्री चक्रधर ॥

बिना भाग्य जो वस्तु ईश्वर अवतार देते है वह लिला ज्ञान कहलाता है।
अवतार के सम्बन्ध से जो फल प्राप्त होता है वह सम्बन्ध दान कहलाता है।
जीवो के कर्मों को ग्रहण कर उन्हे सीघ्रता से भुगवाने को ग्रहणा दान कहते है।
और ईश्वर स्वरूप की प्राप्ती होना यह कैवल्य दान कहते है।
ईस प्रकार ईश्वर की ओर से ये चार प्रकार के दान दिये जाते है।

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
एक दिन भगवान जी प्रातः काल का पूजा अवसर हो जाने के बाद छिन्नस्थली विहरण के लिए गए! वहां से सिंह नारायण के मंदिर में आकर आसन पर बैठे! इतने में ही इन्द्रभट्ट आए और सम्मुख बैठ गए! उन्हें भोजन के लिए नियंत्रण देना था किंतु याद ही नहीं रहा! आसमान में बादल देखते ही महाराज ने संकेत किया कि इन्द्रभट्ट तुम शीघ्र अपने घोगर गांव चले जाओ अन्यथा भीग जाओगे!

इन्द्रभट्ट बचते हुए जैसे ही गांव पहुंचे वैसे ही बारिश शुरू हो गई! इधर भक्तजन कपड़े का चंदोवा बना कर भगवान जी के ऊपर लगा चलने लगे! कभी जानबूझ कर लीला के हेतु से महाराज पीछे रह जाते तो कभी आगे निकल आते! जब तक भक्तजन चांदोवा आगे पीछे करते तब तक महाराज भीग जाते! इस प्रकार उनके वस्त्र गीले देख रेइनायक के घर से दूसरे वस्त्र मंगवाए गए! सभी भक्तों ने भी राजमठ वापिस लौट कर दूसरे वस्त्र धारण किए!

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।

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
किसी दिन सुबह का पूजा अवसर हो जाने के बाद भगवान जी छिन्नस्थली स्थान की तरफ गए! गुफा में आकर महाराज ने नाथोबा और नागदेव जी के सिर आपस में मिला दिए और स्थिति सुख अनुभव करवाया! स्वयं वापिस लौट आए तो बाईसा माताजी ने उन दोनों के विषय में पूछा! तब भगवान जी ने कहा, वे दोनों आपस में भिड़े हुए हैं! जाओ उन्हें ले आओ! बाईसा माताजी नाथोबा और नागदेव जी को बुला लाई! उन दोनों ने आकर स्थिति सुख का आनंद लेने के विषय में भगवान जी को बताया! स्वामी जी कहने लगे, अभी तो हमसे प्राप्त हुआ स्थिति सुख आपको इतना आनंद दे रहा है तो सोचो हमारा परमानंद आपको कितना प्रफुल्लित करेगा! इसका आपको आभास भी नहीं है!

सिंह नारायण मंदिर के दक्षिणी भाग ...

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
अगले दिन जब भगवान जी पूजा अवसर हो जाने के बाद विहरण के लिए छिन्नस्थली गए तो वहां सिंह नारायण मंदिर के दक्षिणी भाग में पीपल वृक्ष के नीचे आसनस्थ हुए! कुछ समय हो जाने के बाद बाईसा माताजी ने भोजन के लिए आवाज लगाई तो स्वामी जो ने कहा, बाई यह पेट कुछ मांग नहीं रहा है!

इतने में मार्तंड को कहा कि मंदिर की छत पर चढ़कर दूर से आ रहे व्यक्तियों के विषय में बताएं! मार्तंड ने देखा कि इन्द्रभट्ट अपने सिर पर बहुत बड़ा टोकरा रखे बढ़ रहे हैं और साथ में द्वारावती से आए ब्रह्मचारिदेव नाम का ब्राह्मण भी है! भगवान जी की आज्ञा पाकर मार्तंड दौड़ते हुए इन्द्रभट्ट के सिर से टकरा उतारने लगे और स्वयं भोजन उठा कर ले आए! उस दिन इन्द्रभट्ट के घर श्राद्ध था! इनका विश्वास था कि भगवान जी के प्रति भोजन समर्पित करने से सब चरितार्थ हो जाता है! यहां ही सभी तीर्थ स्थान हैं! भगवान जी ने भी उनके भाग्य की बढ़ाई की!

ज्ञान परम्परा

🙏 दंडवत प्रणाम 🙏

जय श्री चक्रधर स्वामी जी
गणपति मठ के बरामदे में बैठे स्वामी जी से महदाइसा ने साष्टांग दंडवत प्रणाम कर विनम्रता से पूछा कि आप जिस ज्ञान मार्ग का प्रतिपादन करते हैं वह कब से आरम्भ हुआ और इसका आदि कारण कोन है?

स्वामी जी धीरे से मुस्कराये और बोले कि महदाइसा यह समझो कि सृष्टि के साथ साथ ही ज्ञान परम्परा का आरम्भ होता है। इस लिये ज्ञान परम्परा को सनातन भी कहा गया है। हमारी ज्ञान परम्परा के आदि कारण चतुर्युगी भगवान श्री दत्तात्रेयप्रभुजी हैं। उन्होनें त्रेता युग में अवतार धारण किया था। वे चारों युगों में विद्यमान रहते हैं। आज भी सैह्याद्री पर्वत पर क्रीड़ा कर रहे है। जीवों को ज्ञान प्रदान कर उनक उध्दार करना उनकी प्रवृति है। सृष्टि की ज्ञान परम्परा के वे आदि कारण माने जाते हैं। उन्ही के द्वारा ज्ञान की जाह्नवी चारों युगों में प्रवाहित होती रहती है।

सैह्याद्री पर्वत पर श्री दत्तात्रयेप्रभु ने व्याघ्रवेष में दर्शन देकर द्वारावतीकार श्रीचांगदेवराऊल को ज्ञानशक्ति प्रदान की। कालान्तर में भगवान श्री गेविन्द प्रभु ने द्वारावतीकार श्रीचांगदेवराऊल को निमित बनाकर उनसे ज्ञानशक्ति स्वीकार की। और भगवान गोविन्दप्रभु को निमित बनाकर हमने रिद्धपुर में ज्ञानशक्ति स्वीकार की। इस तरह ज्ञान की परम्परा अनवरत रूप से चलती रहती है। समय समय पर जब भी ज्ञान की परम्परा लुप्त प्राय: हो जाती है, तब तब पुन: सृष्टि में परमेश्वर अवतरित होते हैं और ज्ञान परम्परा को आगे बनाये रखने का प्रयास किया जाता है।

श्री दत्तात्रयेप्रभुजी की जय
