Somevery interesting facts have been highlighted in the article below by P. P. Goswami Shree Aniruddhlalji of Kamvan-Surat....
For your raspaan, I submit the same below...
Dear Vaishnavs,
Did you know that
.
.according to an estimate there are nearly 2 crore vaishnavs all
over the world.These vaishnavs visit the 1100 havelis around the
world and get spiritual guidance from 240 odd Vallabhkul-Acharyas.
..about 100 years ago,when the Britishers ruled India, an
Englishman
visited the Mota Mandir in Bhuleshwar,Mumbai .He challenged the
residing Vallabhkul acharya that if He could not show any magical
powers He had no right to preach people.He gave Him a certain date on
which he would revisit the temple and there would be a magic bout
between him and the Acharya.Word spread among the vaishnavs about the
challenge and hundreds of them turned up in the Haveli on the
stipulated date and time.The Englishman in front of everybody threw
his hat in the air and it hanged in the air without any support.He
started smiling and looked towards the Acharya for an answer.The
Acharya was sitting on His chair.In front of everybody His boot went
in the air and started tapping the Englishman's hat.The boot
brought
the hat down by tapping several times.Seeing this all the vaishnavs
started clapping and chanted "VALLABHADHEESH KI JAI".The
Englishman
too realised the Acharya's power and humbly accepted his defeat.
..that once Shri Devkinandna Acharyaji(born-1858 A.D.) of Kamvan
was
travelling with the Maharaja of Bharatpur in a big boat near
Jaggannath Puri.Suddenly a storm erupted in the sea and the captain
of the ship declared that he was not able to control the ship and
that the ship was going to drown.Panic spread among the passengers
and the Maharaja of Bharatpur was too frightened.Shri
DevkinandanAcharyaji did not loose His composure and calmly threw
his "Uparna" in the sea.The sea calm down very quickly.The
Maharaja
on seeing this realised the power of the acharya and even took
brahmsambandh diksha from Him.He declared vaishnavism as the state
religion of Bharatpur and regularly visited the Kamvan Haveli to have
a darshan of Thakurji.
.that about 250 years ago Shri Girdharji was at the gaadi of
the
Haveli of Kashi(Varanasi).The pandits of Kashi collectively
challenged the acharya and asked Him to show some powers.Shri
Girdharji initially denied having any powers.On this the pandits
started laughing.On this Shri Girdharji in front of everybody SAT
CROSS-LEGGED IN THE WATERS OF GANGA.Not only this He crossed the
whole river while sitting cross legged.On this all the Pandits
surrendered in front of Shri Girdharji.
All these incidents throw light on the divinity of the descendants
of Shri Vallabhcharji.
