Jai Jai ShriGokulesh, The material energy is not called the illusory energy without reason. It is very very potent for bewildering our minds into considering that which is untrue to be true and that which is true to be untrue. In this connection we must always remember that he who knows not and knows not that he knows not, is a fool, while one knows that he knows not has begun the pathway of knowledge. The material energy bewilders us into thinking that we know everything. Therefore we must be very careful to avoid falling into the trap of considering ourselves highly advanced in knowledge in spite of having an advanced degree. If we have good brains we will approach an enlightened spiritual master to bring us out of darkness into the light. Lord Krishna advises to do so with submissive inquiry and the rendering of service. The Lord tells us that these self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto us because they have seen the truth. Jai Jai ShriGokulesh Parivaar, Baroda

Vallah Vaishnav Ne Jai Shri Krsna
What Happens when one takes the Lord’s Name. Shri Mahaprabhuji says, “The mirror of ones mind is cleansed”.
Shrimad Bhagvat has been interpreted by Shri Mahaprabhuji and each word is priceless. It is imperative, that one has an open mind when interpreting Shri Mahaprabhuji’s teachings.
A cook, proficient in cooking knows which spices to use for which recipe. The right Spiritual Master knows which teaching is appropriate for which disciple.
It is also said that some knowledgeable souls get offended if devotion is praised. Yet it is often forgotten that Knowledge (Gyan) is the devotion (Bhakti).
So every son should feel happy whenever the hearing of the mother (Shrimad Bhagvat) is praised.

Jai Shri Krishna
Gopalbhai, Well said
Light and Darkness cannot CO-EXIST.
The Advanced Knowledge and the Degree can only be attained by the Grace of Shri Thakorji, and the Spritual Master being the media.
Shri Vallabha Dhessh Ki Jai

Jai Shree Krishna
Yes Amitji and Anjaliji,
when you transcend your lower nature
You attain true knowledge
And then there is a refuge and dedication
That creates love for Thakorji's lotus feet
In the grace filled renunciation, a vaishnav attains the power to remove even the woes and complications of God Himself. This is the state of the true SEVA, the blessed attitude to nourish and attain.
To be unattached to the things of the world is to be elevated, yet common. When renunciation follows with love for Thakorji's lotus feet, it inspires that total offering of body and atma (soul). When this state is uplifted, then renunciation becomes devotional, and then renunciation rises to selfless love, then vaishnav has that understanding of how to please the Thakorji.
So in the renunciations advance stage one hardly clings to Advance Knowledge, as the lotus feet of Thakorji becomes in itself an Advance attainment.

Vallah Vaishnav Ne Jai Shri Krsna
Yes Pushtidasji, Without the attainment of any knowledge which you are claiming to be a lower nature:
If divinity is not felt in the world, it becomes a place to either exploit or renonuce. Shri Nathji's Lila shows a third way, that is neither to wantonly enjoy NOR pridefully renounce.
For the devotional souls, Bhaktas, Shri Nathji is not a stone image, but a living divinity Who interacts and plays with His bhaktas.
Sometimes He leaves His temple to play chess with a bhakta, and other times He remains awake the entire night to listen to a bhakta's kirtans.
Through His power of Grace, Shri Nathji descended into the world of of HIs bhaktas and made it divine.
Shri Vallabhacharya speaks of the blessed bhakta's aspirations in His subodhini in the words of Shree Krishna's beloved.
JAI SHREE KRSNA

Jai Shree Krishna
Absolutely, we have many events of having attained the knowledge, is then used to ones adverse advantage and in doing so the divine knowledge becomes of lower nature.
Only grace of lord will attain his divinity and then the knowledge becomes a blissful sharangati in His lotus feet.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Moreover vaishnavas, we had learned and heared manythings on Ananyata in pushtimarg, but it is not the only part of pushtimarg, but also the Christains do say the same., Christmas just gone, and i just recollected these 10 orders from Lord Christ gave to Mojez..
1.) Should not accept any other god before me (christ)
, which shrimahaprabhuji says to aapshri's sevaks
2.) Should not worship to any other god's sculpture
3.) Thou shalt not take the name of lord thy in vain
4.) Remember sunday as a holiday and pray this day as god's day
which shrimahaprabhuji gives us the aagyna that do follow fasts on ekadasi's and the 4 jayanti's
5.) Honour thy father and mother
6.) Thou shalt not kill
7.) Thou shalt not commit adultery (no relation with parayi (unknown) lady)
8.) Thou shalt not steel
9.) Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour
10.) thou shalt not convet thy neighbour's home, wife, servant and animals..
Now ShriMahaprabhuji clearly says us all these things for not accepting any other religion and keep trust in me, but we don't keep trust in aapshri's vachan and do as what we think...........

jai jai shree gokulesh
to all the pushtikul and all the pushtimarg vaishanava i ask following questions;
1 aashmarpit not to eat as eating that means eating dogs flesh and that water as mandira that is there in siksapatra.
2dont do the dusang.
3dont have the dustas sang.
4dont do the anayasarya.
5no aviswas and five reasons are given for aviswas in siksapatra.
6 dont go to other temple.
7dont do the darshan of other god and devatas.
8 dont eat the prasad of any other god. etc etc etc
now i want to ask the vasant and all of you is that possible in 21st century and whether we all are following these. as you see in business,service,in bus ,in train and even in our day to day life we meet many people as they all are vaishanava and as we buy grocery,veg,fruit everything from vaishanava.
well my guru brothers that is not there and to be precise we all vaishanavas also made various various division of all our pushtimargi gods well if in america if it is not there than you are happy but when you will come to india than you will see what is this.
this is all thakurji leela and the true bhakat of shree thakurji even through all this will reach the thakurji because at every stage of his life god,guru,and other bhakats guides him to proper path that is leela of thakurji.
so i want all of to please give me the answer and than i will give my answer that is my life truth which i experience and my guru and all vallabah kul balak and vaishanava has heiped me to overcome this and i want my sewayswarup of gokulnathji to come in my heart and write the book so that 21st century bhakat can know how to live in 21st century.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,
Thanks Gokaldasji, for the information. Moreover it is not possible to follow the rules and regulations of pushtimarg fully as if the person is having heitic travellings. and it is not possible to get the samarpit. But shrimahaprabhuji had shown the path too along with to have the prasad in the travels, not from haveli's but charnamrut. In vaarta prasangs also charnamrut comes, can be carried with us, and be spreaded to the food which we r going to consume, and just pray to shrithakurji to had it.
And for vaishnavas from america, i know many of my shrigurubrothers who live the samarpit life over there. And why to give shram to shrigokuleshji to do such small things which is well explained by shrimahaprabhuji, shrigusaiji prabhucharan and the saptaacharyaji's. only is the thing that we can take our own time to refer those/ and can attain the heights of pushtimarg.
