Jai Shri Krishna,

to my limited knowledge when vaishnavs meet each other they say "Jai Shri Krishna" with folded hands because shri Thakorji resides within the heart of every vaishnav. We are say Jai, or praising thakorji and perhaps not trying to add more votes for Shri Krishna.

the general greeting of Namaste within hindus at large, has similar meaning which says naman to the Paramatma or Brahman residing within you. In that case no particular name is being attached.

 But as Pushtimargi vaishnavs we know

Prakrutah Sakalah Deva - Ganitanankam Bruhat

PurnanandoHaritasmat, Krishna Ava Gatirmama

Mahaprabhuji and many other Dharam acharyas see that Bhram as Shri Krishna only.

Vaishnav Jai Shree Krishna ,

Manishji and Shyamdasji, thank you for your response.

Agree with you, we exchange bhagwad smaran by acknowledging Thakorji presence in vaishnavs heart.  However, vaishnavs sometimes forget this basis understanding. 

Often large discussions were carried out on forums.  Good and healthy discussion is based on “Vaad’ (discussion) among vaishnavs.  However, because of egoistic human nature, sometimes such healthy discussion “vaad” gets transformed into “Vee-vaad” (conflicts).  And the problem is, in such Vee-vaad discussions, still the notion of greeting bhagwad smaran continues.  Do you think, Shree Thakorji can bear the taap –heat in the vaishnavs heart that this Kalesh had produced?

I want to clarify here, this topic is not pointing to any one on this forum or anyone from any other forum.  All my effort is to refresh our memories, regarding the exchange of bhagwad smaran.

Jai Shri krishna,

as vaishnavs we are suppose to continue bhagwat smaran/satsang even if there have been some unwanted/avoidable veevaad or arguments in the past. perhaps they will even continue to happen.

in one varta prasang, there was a vaishnav who was I think living with a protitute and other vaishnavs mostly abandoned him because of that. But another vaishnav during utsav in his house, and ran out of some samagri ( vegetable). of all the vaishnavs he askes the first vaishnav ( who was still living with par stri) to go and buy the samagri.

the vaishnav felt very happy and bought the best samagri, and later all vaishnavs praised the prasad. thus the vaishnav who was having utsav in house mentioned, that becoz the other vaishnav( par stri one), had bought such uttam samagri with divine bhav, thakorji had accepted our offering.

he only saw that vaishnav is wearing kanti taken by Shri mahaprabhuji and treated him that way, we can also endeavour to do the same.

Jai Shri Krishna,

if there is no vallabhkul balak or bhagwadi at the sime to resolve the issue, then again it can be discussed or one will need to consult someone one who can resolve the matter.

but in that time also, is possible the vaishnavs can still continue with satsang or bhagwad smaran.

i think you are saying, if opinoins differ in terms of pushti sidhant, seva prakaar or what? but more than this other senior vaishnavs can only guide on this matter.

Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh.

The real solution to avoid conflict is to accept truth and sidhhant. If wrong traditions are passed on in the name of Shri Mahaprabhuji, slowly they become pranali. Like, in bethakji, now a days we see the shringar incorrectly being same as Shri Prabhuji. Conflict arises due to differences amongst who believe the traditions are correct and those who think they are not in fact the vaani of Shri Mahaprabhuji. To say truth is not a mukharta dosh.

Haripriya.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh

    Absolutely right Smitaben, that the best thing is to accept is the Siddhant and that also of ShriMahaprabhuji, for a jeev to go ahead his / her life in pushtimarg. And if not want to accept the siddhant of ShriMahaprabhuji, then everything is just a fake. Just as we find todays in Baithakji's (rightly pointed by smitaben) that we now a days find the Palnas done to ShriAacharya swaroop Shrimahaprabhuji, ShriGusaiji, ShriGokulnathprabhucharan, ShriHariraicharan. How much is it worthful that these aacharyas on bhootal took birth as Dwij Tanu Dhaari and as an Aacharya (preacher) and not as a God?? No doubt that these swaroops r Purushottam, but had declared their limitations of being an Aacharyas??/

     ShriMahaprabhuji throughout life never wore even the Padukas in ShriCharnarvinds, and lived a very simple life just wearing Dhoti and Uparna, and now we find that Shringaars done????? Is this the Siddhant???? or own selfishness of just collecting funds to run the SHop of Pushtimargiya Institution????

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh Parivaar, Baroda
