Shree Vallabhadheesh ki Jai
Sashtang dandwat pranam to Je Je
Jai Shree Krishna to Vaishnav bandhus.
Santosh bhai. Utsavs are ment to be celebrated with our own Prabhu, our bhaav is important and not the scale at which the utsav is celebrated. Let us remember the old saying.... Man changa to ktauti mein Ganga. If our bhaav is dhrud and our bhavna in its right perpective then that in itself suffices. But to affluently spend time, energy and sources for personal celebrations and to look for minimalisation of all these when it comes to celebration of utsavs of Shree Thakorji biraajman at our home is the question we have ask our selves internally and then realise how much of a Vaishnav we are.
We all are essentially camouflaging our inabilities and overinvolvment in the laukik world by seeking excuses that the Havelis are required as learning centres and knowledge centres - which they truely are - but only when Shree Vallbhkul balak is biraajman there. Without their presence to run them under the control of trustees is making them into devalays, akin to anyother temple.
This were we as Vaishnavs stand today, We Vallabhiya vaishnavs - supposedly to be following the Path of Grace, propunded by Akhandbhumanadalacharya Jagadguru Mahaprabhu Shree Vallabhachaya. Our beloved Shree Mahaprabhu, who spent sleepless nights deeply ingrossed in thoughts as to how to do uddhar of daivi jeevs and was blessed by Shree Poornapurushottam Prabhu himself and given the irrevocable Gadyamantra diksha.
We do all that is convenient to us like getting naam diksha, Gadyamantra diksha, visiting havelis, doing jaaps etc. etc. but but but.....
but are hesitant to do Seva of Shree Thakorji as we do not have time, always run shot of a few square feet of space in our homes for our beloved Lalan and have to think twice before digging into our pockets for samagri, shurngaar etc.
Form our father and forefathers we share their wealth, their properties, business etc. etc. in amicable proportions, but Seva of prabhu goes through many rounds of unanswered question mark, before eventually being taken up by someone.
Is this not the real picture of our society today ?
Is this not what we all are upto today ?
Before seeking excuses, before camouflaging our slacky atitude, before trying to point fingers at one another, let us do a self analysis, let us ask our own selves truely whether the path we are threading today is truely the one propogated by Shree Vallabh and then do that which is right, and just.
A Soul searching exercise is long overdue by all of us, let first do that and then proceed further.
My apologies to one and all of you if what i have said has hurt anyone of you.
