Shree Krishn, in the Holy Gita asks all seekers to “Surrender” themselves to Him.
To be able to do that one needs to understand what true surrender means.
Complete surrender would mean following one, not blindly, but with the right understanding; which means; to be able to follow the Guru with total belief in his path and way of bhakti towards One Form of God. At the same time maintaining respect for all other Forms and Paths and Religions
Jai Shreeji!!

Shreenathji
Complete Shringar Darshans
We all know God needs a human counterpart to be able to work in the outer dimensions; for the completion of His leela. In the initial periods there was Vallabhacharya, and then came Gusainji.
These two divine gurus initiated the divine souls into Shreeji’s leela, their counting being 84 and 252 respectively.
Till the time these two highly pure souls inhabited earth Shreeji enlightened us with His Bliss of Direct Leelas.
All the 84 divine souls initiated by Vallabhacharya and later the 252 divine souls initiated by Gusainji, merged within His Being. They were the souls left over from His Shree KrishnRadha Aavtar (Incarnation) when many divine shaktis inhabited earth to take part and enjoy the bliss of Shree Krishn and Radha’s leelas.
Divine Darshans
ShreeNathji-Merged Swarup of Shree RadhaKrishn
As any shakti who comes to earth in a human form, enter the cycle of karma.
To relieve these left over jeev atmas from their earthly karmic cycles Shree KrishnRadha once again appeared as ShreeNathji from on the Govardhan hill.
They immediately manifested Their human counterparts, first as Shri Vallabhacharya, then as Shri Gusainji, who are believed to be an intimate ansh of ShreeNathji Himself.
These entire Leelas were recorded by Gusainji’s son and Vallabhacharyaji’s grand son Gokulnathji, in the two very famous documentary books; 84 Vaishnavas; 252 Vaishnav ki Varta. I call them documentary and not story; as anything which has been recorded as facts and given in the world cannot be stories; they are live experiences or history and recorded then by Gokulnathji; a part of the third generation. Facts about God and about His live Presence is not allowed unless, it is the wish of the Super Shakti Himself to give it to us.
It is a belief in Pushti maarg that experiences with any leela of Thakurjee cannot be spread out to others. It is followed by all as Thakurjee’s Hukum (divine order). It is only His Hukum that would allow any bhakt to write and document anubhuties about the leela and play of Thakurjee. None can have the courage to write about Shreeji unless He, Himself wishes it to happen. We can call it the Divine order.
There are at times certain occasions when God gives permissions for showing powers in order to show the world His Presence. This is only for the benefit of humans or when He wishes for some one to develop the required faith and aastha. The receivers are called lucky; as there obviously has to be something so strong in the past births that one becomes a saakshi (witness) to the Divine Leelas and Plays; may be a part of some also.

Talking about SANSKARS is very easy; sounds very good; but mind you majority of the time are only empty words.
All the Spiritual Sanskars; the Humanity Sanskars are made a show of being followed only till lectures, pravachans, and discussions; mostly to impress others; who do the same for themselves.
So all just becomes a big show of hypocrisy, as none practice what they speak or expect ‘the others’ to follow.
WHAT ARE THE SANSKARS ALL WORLD FOLLOWS TODAY?
In a world where money is the universal language all is accepted as right
as long as the person is rich with several zeros attached to his name;
so the majority follows what I call “THE MONEY SANSKAR”
The larger the number of zeros with a name the loudest his truth is heard.
How much importance is given to the zero factor?
In fact many people actually bow down to the “ZEROS”
Someone worth 100 crores –
Someone worth 1000 crores –
Someone worth 9000 crores –
Someone worth 100,000 crores –
Do the bank accounts really portray the true inner person behind the zeros; or the actual reality of the particular person who dominates the thoughts and hence clouds the judgments of people around by the display of his money power;
His only achievement is the number of ‘zeros’ attached to his name.
The greater humanity is easy to fool by the layers and layers of masks we cover ourselves with – it’s extremely easy, as no one actually has time to see beyond. We all live in the gross level of realities –‘Instant gratification’ in all degrees of living – for this money power is important.
The funniest is, when we bow down to the power games, of the corrupt only because of our greed, and with the good knowledge of them possessing the lowest spiritual or moral qualities –The lies, the deceit that many in the guise of some power exert over our lives.
And all for what? – a greater share in the Zero?
I feel the moment we forget our realities and get involved only in figures and calculations; it becomes a total outward journey-only moving on the circumference of the big zero.
If you – your soul, your dot – are the stronger one, this “ZERO” then has to bow down to the real you. Then it is your slave instead of ruling over your life or senses.
Then you have gained freedom for yourself and are your own master;
free from the raag-dwesh-lobh (attachment-envy-greed) of the outer dimensions;
Which in my understnding is true Spirituality.

Sometimes the majority only means all the fools are on one side”
I had read this line somewhere and it stuck in my thoughts as being so true in the area of religion and spirituality also.
The ‘majority’ here would stand for the mass of human seekers, as they do not even know what they do receive in all their various sadhanas.
It’s like ‘The blind following the blind’; ‘Let’s run, lets do whatever all the other 1000’s are doing’.
To actually find that peace, satisfaction, enlightenment which all seek is not easy, nor can be reached without sacrifices or choices.
You cannot continue to be totally involved in the mayic world; in its activities of accumulating more wealth and seeking higher pleasures; yet claim to be religious or spiritual!
‘Actions performed without the right understanding will give no positive results’- Gurushree.
This firm stability is necessary when you set out to move deeper within, with continued progress in every hour spent for this pursuit.
If time is first spent in analyzing and understanding, actions will be performed with awareness and the positive results received will give rise to faith, also known as complete shraddha –
Here the right understanding gives courage to follow that which gives positive results, despite moving in the opposite direction of the majority.
Right understanding gives courage to walk your own path no matter what the majority may say;
It gives courage to stay firm when the majority try to pull you back to the accepted followed way of religion..
All wish to be ‘safe’, all wish to receive something with the least effort in the least of time.In these moments of spending their precious time on various religious practices, rituals and activities; none spend some time in trying to at least analyse how much benefit they receive;
As the majority of humans do practice religion to some extent, if what the majority did was the right and only way, we would not see the frustrations and unrest all around; our world would experience the peace, shanti, and satisfaction we so desperately need. If all was ok with what all were practicing how come all have not reached?

…. ‘DO NOT FORGET THE REAL PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE’.
“This will be the best period where the truth and reality unfolds before you. The ‘Mayic’ world is nothing before all the elevated experiences – once you’ve tasted the ‘nectar’ (God’s love), the other flavors lose their attractions”.
“IF YOU SPEND YOUR TIME IDLING AWAY AT HOME (because of your fears) THEN DEVOTION IS NOT FOR YOU. ONE HAS TO BURN IN THE FIRE OF PASSION FOR THE LORD, BEFORE HE DECIDES TO ENTER YOUR HEART”.
“KEEP YOURSELF STRONG, AND SOON YOU WILL REACH YOUR TRUE DESTINATION – THAT POINT AND EXPERIENCE, ALL WANT AND FEW REACH”. (Lack of understanding).
DON’T FORGET THE ELEVATED PURE ENERGY WHICH HAS ACCEPTED YOUR LOVE AND DEVOTION. YOU HAVE TO NURTURE IT. THOUGH IT IS ALMIGHTY AND THE MOST POWERFUL – IT IS SENSITIVE TO ANY IMPURITY – IN THE MIND OR BODY OR THE SOUL.
“ONE IN A MILLION IS ABLE TO PASS THROUGH ALL TESTS AND CROSS THE MAYIC HURDLES. DON’T GIVE UP YOUR SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH AND GOD”.
“STAY ON THE PATH WITH DETERMINATION, SOON YOU WILL BE REWARDED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF ‘SHREEJI BABA’ (GOD) – very, very rare selected Vaishnavas are allowed to enter where you have been invited”…..

There are many paths, many gurus, many spiritual books, many scriptures, many forms of God, many preachers, many religions, many theories, many religion groups, many different rituals, many pilgrimages; and I could go on with the list.
How and why do I need to know and understand
“What is good for me in the area of spirituality and religion”
“What suits my character”,
“What teaching is it that I can identify with the most?”
“Which path am I able to spend my maximum time in?”
“Time spent in which reading, doing which ritual, praying to which God, following which Guru’s understanding creates the so longed for peace”
“Which scripture or spiritual book am I able to read again and again without boredom”?
“What image of God comes in my mind when I shut my eyes for prayer”?
I agree the goal of all sadhana is one and the ultimate spiritual experience also may be nearly the same.
What’s important to introspect is “How will I reach there”
Doing only what everyone else does, without the right understanding of “Why am I doing this and how much benefit have I received after investing as much time and energy in this manner” will not ever give the desired progress in religion.
You cannot scatter your precious time and energy in hundred different vibrations and places and then complain; how come I do not move ahead; It maybe because lack of understanding has driven you to too many different vibrational levels; there has never been enough concentration in one area which would help in the storage of shakti within yourself.
I personally have always been very selective about what I believe in religion. It becomes very important to be able to choose and select, “what is it that suits my inner nature and personality”.
I hold the utmost respect for all Form’s of God, for the entire Guru’s in this world, for all different religions; I do not criticize nor condemn any path or following; but I stand firm in my belief:
“One Form of God, One Guru, One path” –
When understood in the right manner and followed in total till the very end, will with guarantee give perfect results in your life.
Or else it becomes very easy to mix the perfect ‘Khichdi’ in our lives and die without moving ahead towards the Divine in spite of maybe having spent the maximum number of hours daily in various practices.
Greed never helped anyone, nor making a show of being very religious.
There is always a choice in life and also the free will given to us by God.

Trying to pick mangoes (sweet and juicy) from a Babool tree (a tree of thorns)?
All of us are in actuality doing exactly this: By trying to find sweetness and joy and satisfaction in the worldly relationships.
Not that the worldly relationships are thorny; but our expectations from them can turn the entire experience to be a thorn in the heart and soul.
“WHY”
Because in the entire vedic message it is said,
“The world and its relationships are only for giving; for finding the real joy and satisfaction one HAS to turn inwards and toward the DIVINE”; Only He is overflowing and can quench the human’s thirst for satisfaction.
In a relationship of devotion with the creator, only will one find the extreme joy and bliss which all of us try to squeeze out of any worldly relationship.
What will two empty individuals give each other?
Jai Shreeji!!
