An Episode of Sri Krishna's Play : Based on Sri Madhavdeva's Bhojan Bihar Naat

(Based on Sri Madhavdeva's Bhojan Bihar play) 

Govindam Paramnandam Sange Gopaye Samanitam

VrindavanaBiharinam Srikrsnam Pranamyaham .

The ever blissful cowherd Lord with all his cowherd friends are playing in the Vrindavana forest ,I bow down to such Sri Krishna .

     In This Morning, Mother Yashoda kissing her beloved son, said , “Wake up my son, Gopala (Cowherd),Madan –Gopala ; Your friends are waiting ,take this butter ,take these breads and surely , don’t forget this flute .Now ,go to the Vrindavan and play with your allies , keep our cows  in the bank of river Yamuna .”  The son of Nanda left His home and going to the forest, because he tends grazing cattle. With playful mood ,Dama ,Sudam and His other friends have joined Him too.By playing the instruments as flute ,horn wind etc ; They are maintaining hundreds and hundreds of cow. 

He,who is the Master of all moving and non-moving(s) ;the same Lord has taken this Cowherd form in Nanda’s place  to grant happiness to all  .

The Lord Said , “ See this place ,O Friends : What a Beautiful Scenario ! The Soft Sand of River Yamuna ! The Mesmerizing natural odour ; the intoxicated bees are running all around the lotus and such flowers .The trees are calling us to take rest under their respective shadows .It is mid-day now,Let us have lunch in this beautiful place.’’

        The boys gave water from the river to their cattle ,then themselves drank the pure water of yamuna. They took leaves of trees and made plates , some  already had some plates , some took food in their hands.

Vamakakhe Sima  bet Bamsi bertit thoiya :Amgulita Fal : Dakhin hate Gras Dhariye : Kanikar Sadrish maje bosiye :suhrida sabaka parihas kariye : Sri krsna Anna bhojan Karata 

Lord Krishna have the horn wind instrument called ‘Singa ‘ hanging in the left side of His Body,the wooden flute is in his waist now .With His right hand ,He is eating the food stuff, while He is sitting in the center of the Cowherds just like the pistil of a flower .He is joking with His Friends ;observing His Divine plays from the sky ,The celestial deities are offering their obeisances to Him by showering Flowers.

                At that Time ,Narad Muni Came and offer His prayers to Sr Krishna , O Lord, I have searched you in the seven Vaikunthas,In Ananta Sarya , but I have not found you there anywhere . Seeing your feet impressions in the bank of Yamuna ,i found You here. Lord ,grant devotion to Your Servant’s servant.

Narada ask some food from the cowherd boys ,They gave Him ! Remembering The  letters ‘V-i-s-h-n-u’ ,by mediating on Krishna’s lotus feet ,Narada eat that food stuff .

Sankardeva's pastimes at Jagannath Puri

nirapekṣaṁ muniṁ śāntaṁ nirvairaṁ sama-darśanam anuvrajāmy ahaṁ nityaṁ pūyeyety aṅghri-reṇubhiḥ  - Srimad Bhagavata 11.14.16 (Meaning : With the dust of My devotees’ lotus feet I desire to purify the material worlds, which are situated within Me. Thus, I always follow the footsteps of My pure devotees, who are free from all personal desire, rapt in thought of My pastimes, peaceful, without any feelings of enmity, and of equal disposition everywhere.)      Tirth or pilgrimage in Vedic Tradition is the journey to holy places where knowledge, devotion and association of Saints is easily accessible.But unlike normal human beings ,a Sage visits holy places just to purify the material desires of others.Jagnnath Puri is one of the Holiest sites of Vaishnavism.This temple is associated with pastimes of many great personalities.Srimanta Sankardeva Visited Purusttama khestra twice,First somewhere near 1481 AD and later in 1550 AD.Whereas,Dinanath bezbarua wrote that the Mahapu...

                               Annihilation Of Tartuffe : The ‘Pasanda Mardan’ Of Sankardeva The stumbling block to faith can be overcome only by the mercy of saintly beings; the loving devotion is the greatest grail in the Vaishnava philosophy. As it’s observed that in different eras, in many places, the transcendental lovers were afflicted by many, generally by the ruling class & by those blindly attached to black Rituals. But the great saints, overcoming all the hindrances, not only uplift the meek & weak but also left inspiration for people of all ages.

His faith & movement have opened the door of spirituality for all classes of people in Assam. This Polymath Guru preached Krishna Bhakti & Bhagavata to even the so-called untouchables, it res...

The Golden Incarnation

Grail of human anticipation is to save oneself from suffering . Everyone has some desire ,so that their every work circulating around the bonds of Ahamkara, which means I , Me & Mine . This selfishness has different degrees , the extreme of this ego is always destructive . The Man made society has different behavior towards different people ; He is this, or She is that- these kinds of judgement result in the imbalance of Man’s Spiritual Nature . Acceptance of any being as it is , is a rare phenomenon . 'Jesus Christ accepted Magdalene' or 'Sri Rama accepted Sabari' indicates the value of acceptance as well as the fraternity of living creatures .     It's the medieval India, Various Great Souls such as Ramanujacharya, Vallabha,Ramananda, Srimanta Sankardeva, Guru Nanak and many more challenged the social discrimination .
