while we discuss bhagvadiya and tadrushi  vaishnav

i was lucky to get satsang from a great soul called vitthal kaka

we all have seen vitthal kaka in our havelies and beithaskjis

look again  we will see a sarvottam ststra in picture form 108 small round pics

associated with each name going around      12 pics of shree vallabh at the bottom of this picture

9 color lotus serves as a back ground in this picture and in center of the picture

we see mool rekha and chaya chitra ji of shree vallabh 

look again  the creater was vitthal kaka

more on this person in next post

what a tadrushi person looks like  for me it was catching a glimpse of vitthal kaka

not me even vallabh kul including great acharya  shri vraj riji    ( natwar gopal ) never missed a chance

to go chek up on vitthal kaka

kaka stayed outside the beithji  in asarwa   ahmedabad

so every day when acharya shree travelled between   natwargopal  haveli and asarwa beithak ji

acharya shree would stop by the small residencial quater of vitthal kaka

 vitthal kaka spent most of his life serving in the asarwa beithakji

had great expertise in fixing the mewa  and fruits for shri vitthalnathji 

so he was called vitthal das mewawala

he was known as lotus of pushti marg

Haripriya.

once a physician vaishnav came to kaka and complaint that due to medical practise and high stress

now he him self is victim of high blood pressure

kaka established his hand on doctor's head and said

jaa yamnaji took away your problem and blood pressure was gone

jsk

jsk

kaka was daigonised with caterect by vaishnav doctor

operation was suggested in late 80's

kaka flately refused to be unconcisious for operation

and operation was performed while kaka was reciting yamunastak

and as soon as operation was over kaka walked away

kaka's son in law is an american white man

this man recited sarvottam with great accuracy and clear pronounciation

better then all of us as he was coached by kaka him self

kaka was rich financially but all his wealth was surrendered to havelis in vraj and ahmedabad

kaka left to golok after 95 years of age  

jsk

kaka had power to lecture in any name of shree vallabh from sarvottam stotra

for hours until vaishnavs had to get back to daily routin life

kaka and my dad got to gather and authored a book

that was tika of sarvottam stotra book is out of print  

but vitthal hand picked 108 pads from 84 vaishnavs each corresponding to

each name of shree vallabh prabhu in sarvottam stotra

the picture i described  earlier that was created by vitthal kaka  is so complex

that vitthal kaka had to write a seperate book to explain the whole picture  and its significance

luckily i have that book  it was gifted to me by vitthal kaka

jsk

jsk

vitthal kaka spent last 15 years of his life in mansi  closed eyes smile on his face and tears flowing out of his eyes

and vaishnavs generally did not disturb kaka and much more that cannot be disclosed here in public forum

vitthal kaka fasted for 40 years of his life just fruits and milk

Jai Shree Krishna

Jiger bhai, Thankyou very much for giving us all an insight into such a Tadrushi Vaishnav.  Please if you have a chavi/photo of Shree Vitthal kakaji, please be kind enough to post on this topic, so that we all can have darshan of such a devine soul.

once lots of pushti acharyas visited ahmedabad to give pravachan to vaishnavs

acharyas from ahmedabad told kaka to share some of his views

acharyas who were not familiar with vitthjal kaka

were shocked by the depth of the knowledge  of pushti marg

and his short lecture to vaishnavs was very much praised by all the vallabh kul
