ShreeNathji is sad..

…..  Another amazing happening I was a witness to was in the Mangala darshan when at Nathdwara with Gurushree Sudhir bhai.
I was woken up very early by Gurushree. He said,  “We will go and sit in the outer parisar (compound) of ShreeNathji Haveli early today, just inside the Lal Darwaza where we always wait for Mangala on a regular basis. Shreeji has sent a hukum (order) to me to be there early.”

I have learnt from earlier experience at Nathdwara, to just follow the orders whenever Gurushree says something, as the explanations and understandings come later.

So I showered and we reached there at around 3.30 am. Once there we realized what was happening.

As there is the construction work going on around the Haveli; a truck was being loaded with the stone debris from the inside of the left side area right inside the Lal Darvaza.

It caused immense noise as the workers did not have any instructions from the temple board to work silently.

We were astonished as to how the mandir board allows this much noise all through the night.
We realized why we were called here so early when Shreeji’s melodious voice echoed, in which Shreeji told us,

“See there is no bhao.  They do not even consider that I (Shreeji) am  sleeping inside and would be disturbed. I called you’ll early to show this, that no one cares. Why should I stay here? All are selfish”.

We had tears in our eyes. Today how non feeling human has become. God has to come out and take care of Himself. Have we lost all bhao?

The entire mandir board, as well as the Tilkayatji is responsible for this lack of proper planning and supervision in the Haveli work.

Entire nights Shreeji may have not been able to sleep because of the very loud noise of loading stones in a truck.

It is an accepted fact that Shreeji lives here, that is why none is allowed in the premises once the Shayan Darshan is over. No one inside dares to make any noise so as not to cause disturbance to Thakurjee.
How angry do ‘we’ get when during some festivals loud music is played and ‘our’ rest disturbed?
Loud noise or music is prohibited after a certain hour as it disturbs ours,  humans rest and sleep.
But our Dear Shreeji, being so full of kindness and compassion lets it be. In a very sleepy and tiny voice He again said,

“Koi baat nahin, humans have lost all bhao, its ok”. “Main yahan se bhaag jaata hun, yahan soata hi nahin”.  (It does not matter. Humans have lost all bhao. I run away from here. I do not sleep here any more.)

ShreeNathji is happy with the renovation of His Haveli; only problem is the authorities are not careful about when the work should be carried out

Nathdwara is located in the Rajasmand district on the banks of the river Banas in Rajasthan. The air connection is from the Udaipur airport. It is 48 km from Udaipur and is connected by road and train to all the major cities in Rajasthan as well as from all over India. It is a very small town built only for the temple of ShreeNathji. Many times people just call the town as “ShreeNathji”. All roads lead to the Haveli of Shreeji; which is central in location.

Approaching the town I always feel the strong vibrations gripping me with an excitement; Shreeji’s Presence is very welcoming; it feels as if He is present there to welcome us to His town; acting like the perfect host. As soon as I enter deeper in bhao at times I hear this divine sweet child voice inside which echos from no where, “Tum log mujhse milne aaye ho, main tumhara dhyan to raakhunga na”. (“You’ll have come to meet me, how can I not be there to make your stay Divine”). This is the sweetest voice that could be ever heard; full of loving mischief and playfullness.

Shreeji’s town wears a white washed look. There are paintings on every house and wall; it is a very typical look that the entire town of Nathdwara adorns. The roads are all very narrow and ultimately lead one to the centre square, chowk where Shreeji’s Haveli is located. To be able to reach the Haveli is only on foot, as the cars have to be left at least 1\2 km away. The narrow lanes only allow scooters.

The Haveli of Shreeji is a Palace where He lives in His Full Form. It is His Home, and all the sewaks and the true devotees know that many with the right bhao have experienced this Divine Presence. Unlike the other several mandirs scattered all over the world; this place is very sacred, as till today the entire routine since sevaral years has been followed perfectly. Shreeji’s Presence is total so all acknowledge His living Presence as Himself in this Haveli. It is not an ordinary mandir or place of worship. God Himself lives here in the most alive form. Darshans are not merely joining hands or offering prayers. It is more like Shreeji’s Divine court being held and all gather to pay their respects and offer sewa in whatever form. The most important ingredient required for Shreeji’s sewa, is bhao (total devotion) and shuddhi (purity); or else one can just tick the darshans as a visit to one more holy dham, without any reality being experienced.
ShreeNathji’s most favorite place – His Personal gaushala is situated about 3 km from His Haveli. Surrounded by hills it is a very picturesque place; with a lot of open grounds. It was planned and built with the Haveli. It houses about 2000 cows with a staff of 50 guwals to take care of them.

Many times I feel Shreeji likes to be away from His mandir, especially when gurushree is in Nathdwara; and He spends time with us at the gaushala. This I can feel at times when His sweet voice tells us about some incident at His gaushala, and how much He loves being here with His beloved Gomata, as He calls them.

Shreeji is there for granting you the highest of joy and bliss only if you can put aside the mind and join Him in total bhao shuddhi. Thakurjee is hungry only for your bhao, your prem. He stands there eight times a day; every day, to grant you His darshans. We are blind in our greed for the outer desires, so the Divine Love that flows from Shreeji at every darshan fails to catch our not very pure aura and vibrations. The shuddhi (purity)that I have learnt from my gurushree helps in this; to be able to experience the divine at every moment; especially when standing before ShreeNathji in totality.

God works in unknowing ways. To the world it is not visible why some unknown happenings take place in an instant. It can only be through Thakurjee’s leela. What at times we do not realize that it is only with His wish that so many incidents take place. They are not understood by us because God wishes to keep them secret. Here Shreeji had to move away to Mevar for the fulfillment of His commitment to His dear bhakt Ajaba; so He created the exact circumstances for His caretakers to be forced into moving Him

As later in the vartas it comes that Shreeji’s Rath stopped exactly at the spot where Gusainji had predicted years back. It was the area where the princess Ajaba Kunwari’s Haveli stood earlier; that became His final destination from Braj – Girirajji.

A POEM FOR MY DEAREST DIVINE SHREENATHJI

Some words in love for my ShreeNathji – my ShreeKrishn;

with whose blessings and grace;

in whose Bhao and Mahabhao I have realized my divine nature; my reality.

“YOU are the dawn of everyday to me, the Hope that sees me through,

The Light that guides the way for me, the Love that’s always true –

YOU are the Joy that fills the heart in me

The BLISS that completes the dreams in me.

YOU are the reason for my tomorrows

YOU are the reason for today

YOU are the reason for my life’s living

YOU are the reason for my soul’s shinning.

YOUR love, friendship, grace

Has shown a new dimension -

I had never thought

I’d attain such contentment.

I want to be possessed by YOU.

I want to belong to YOU.

In my deepest thoughts

I want to hold on to “YOU”.

In total surrender and Bhakti

I offer my total to “YOU”.

Bhakts waiting for Darshans to open
