Shikshapatra 23

Shlokas: 17

Subject: Renounciation of Bahirmukta and solution to get rid of worries

Highlights:

1. The presence of worldly desires in us block the formation of devine thoughts, and hence we are always engulfed in worries of different kinds. However, it is important to realise and understand the fact that Shree Thakorji is sarva samartyavaan and has ultimate capabalities and is of unlimited capacity, hence one should have faith in him, and forget all kinds of worries, be it worldly or even worries towards achieving devine blessings.

2. Even the company of Bahirmukh - those with distractive inclinations, be it even in wife, son or relatives. Company of such people definetly causes obstruction in achieving the grace of Pushitmarg. Such obstructions eventually do corrupt our physical as well as mental thought patterns.

3. The ideal way of protecting oneself from bahirmukta is by keeping the company of Bhagwadiya vaishnavs, and serving them. Hoever, such a company  is a rarity these days, and under such circumstances, the best possible answer lies in seeking shelter in the devine form of Shree Krishna, that is Shreemad Bhagwatji. To read this devine description of prabhus leelas ensures one to keep the physical and mental balance always tilted towards Shree Thakorji. 

At this stage it is very important to understand the instructions very clearly stated here in by Shree Harirai Prabhucharan....

1. One should by himself read Shreemad Bhagwatji. and if this not possible, then.....

2. One should listen to Shreemad Bhagwatji from another Vaishnav, and even if this not possible, then....

3. One should indulge in reciting the name of Shree Thakorji, and even if thsi is not possible, then....

4. One should generate and feel to be always at the feet of Shree Thakorji

One should always, at all times recite the Ashtakashar Mahamantra.

This ensures that one is releived of worldly and well as devine worries.

4. One should not concentrate on achieving/amassing wealth, property etc., but should instead concentrate on building relationship with Bhagwadiya Vaishnavs.  Doing the paat of Navaratnam, on a day to day basis, in a self determined way releives one of all worldly as well as devine worries.

5. In this difficult period of the present Kaliyuga, it is only through devine blessing that we have been granted and blessed by the glorious Koti kandarpa lavanya form of Shree Mahaprabhuji. Hence, instead of worrying, feeling sad or getting frustrated, we should indulge in the graceful path shown to us by Shree Mahaprabhuji and eagerly and enthusiastically perform SEVA-do SMARAN- have SATSANG.

Jai Shri Krishna!!

Shikshapatra 24^th

Total Shlok 30

In this Shikshapatra Shri Hariraiji Mahaprabhuji says that the base of all things is Shri Thakurji’s Krupa. Hence the jeev should only do the deeds modestly n remember Shri Thakurji.

2.                  Now for this jeev shall have to take Shri Mahaprabhuji’s shelter. Becoz with His shelter jeev gets knowledge of Shri Thakurji’s swarup. N when bhakti shall increase Thakurji will do His krupa on the jeev. (2)

3.                  The way Gopkumarika’s had full faith on Shri Yamunaji, Pulindi had faith in Shri Girirajji. Agnikumarika did Katyayani vrat with Shri Krishna’s ashray so Shri Krishna appeared there for His bhaktas. Or else  the way Shri Krishna Himself comes for His bhaktas like in Raslila He came to provide humbleness to vrajbhaktas. The same way Shri Mahaprabhuji’s  shelter is the only way to get Phushtisambhandi Bhagwadkrupa. Thus jeev should have full faith in Shri Mahaprabhuji. (3-6)

4.                  That’s why in ‘Shri Krishnashray’ Shri Mahaprabuji says ‘I pray to Shri Krishna (who shall take care the jeevs from this worldly affairs) that one who does Shri Krishnashray path daily in front of Shri Thakurji shall surely get Shri Krishna’s shelter ’ Thus the vaishnavs feel that we should not think/worry for another matters. (7-8)

5.                  With full faith (like chatakpakshi) jeev shall get the happiness showered by Shri Krishna  (Ghanshyam) (9)

6.                  Thus if jeev has this full faith then all things shall happen properly as our Thakurji has powers to accomplish any thing. (10)

I shall soon post the next Shikshapatra

Jai Shree Krishna

Shikshaptra 24

Shlokas: 31

Subject: Bhagwad krupa( Blessings of Shree Thakorji) is the means (sadhan)

Highlights:

In this the 24th shikshapatra, Shree Harirai Prabhucharan highlights that which is most relevant in todays socio-cultural scenario - Chinta / Worry and Bahirmukhta / deviation from the principle of the marg. Explaining the importance of the marg and providng the right perpective aobut the path of grace, Shree Prabhucharan enhances the fact that GRACE OF SHREE THAKORJI CANNOT BE ACHIEVED THROUGH  ANY MEANS OR MODES. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS IS THROUGH THE BLESSINGS OF SHREE THAKORJI. and its direct relationship with Pushtimarg is highlighted by the fact that the marg to does not preach of any specfic means or mode of seeking blessings of Shree Thakorji. Pushtimarga simply highlights Prue, no strings attached, Bhakthi and patiently perfroming this bhakthi in all its forms, through Seva and smaran of Shree Thakorji, awaiting his blessings.

In the Saraswat kalpa. When Shree Thakorji  had taken the form of Shree Krishna, Shree Yamunaji, Shree Girirrajji and others paved the way to establish once relationship with Shree Prabhu.Today, when Shree Thakorji is not physically present in his form, Shree Mahaprabhuji, through Pushitmarg has shown the path of establishing the devine relationship with Shree thakorji. 

Shree Hariraiji in summation of this shikshaptra advises us that be it sunshine or rain, be it good or bad times, our only recluse lies in the devine mantra provided to us by Shree Mahaprabhuji, the Ashtakshar Mantra. This is  the only way to be protected or be rid of the influences on Worry and Bahirmukhta in ones life.

Jai Shri Krishna

Jai Shree Krishna

The pleasure is mine Hetal ben.

Now towards the next Shikshapatra.....

Shikshapatra 25

Shlokas: 16

Subject: Absolute and unflinching faith in the Charankamal of Shree Mahaprabhuji.

Highlights:

While in the 24th Shikshaptara we understand that,  ultimate realisation is the grace of Shree Thakorji. In this shikshapatra, Shree Hariraiji takes it to the next stage, and stresses upon the fact that such a realisation is possible only through the blessings of Shree Mahaprabhuji.

Realisation of God is possible only by the wishes of Shree Thakorji and not through any other other means.  And such an anugraha can take place only by the blessings of Shree Vallabh, and this initself can be realsied only by keeping dhrud nishta and abolute faith in the lotus feet of Shree Mahaprabhuji.  One may look at innumerable ways of achieving the grace of Shree Prabhu, but without the blessings of Shree Mahaprabhuji, all such efforts are a mere waste and such a blessing is possible only by totally surrendering once self to the devine feet of Shree Mahaprabhuji.

It is important to realise at this point that  Pushitbhakthi in itself is the bhakthi of the Mukharvind of Shree Thakorji, and Shree Mahaprabhuji is the Mukharvind swaroopa of Shree Prabhu. Hence, only with the grace of Shree Vallabh can we obtain Pushti bhakthis ultimate grace, the grace of Shree Thakorji himself.

Dear Vaishnavs,  Akhandabhumandalacharya Mahaprabhu Shree Vallabhacharyas Pragatya utsav is just a two ekadashis away. From tomorrow,  The Kamada ekadashi, The badhais of Shree Mahaprabhuji begin,  let us joyfuly sing the badhais and in doing so realise the devine swaroopa of  our beloved Acharya, once again indulge into understanding and realisation of his devine preachings, rededicate ourselves to his Charankamal and seek his blessings to lead us towards Pushtibhakthi,  samarpan and the grace of Shree Thakorji.

Aayo re aayo badhai ko din aayo.

Gao badhai, Jano Shree Vallabh ko

Dhrudta nishta badhao apno

Shree Vallabhkul Param krupaal

Inke ashray se milenge Prabhu Paramadayal.
