ShreeNathji LIVE Varta in todays time period with His bhakts.
ShreeNathji becomes my MahaGurushree and makes me His ‘Best Friend’
श्रीजी; “ओके तुम मेरी बेस्ट फ्रेंड हो; मैं तुम्हारे साथ खेलने आऊंगा” .
This Divine Anubhuti is from some years back.
We are waiting outside Shreeji Haveli at Nathdwara. As usual we are here sixty minutes earlier then the Mangla Darshan timing. It’s a niyam, with Gurushree, to be present much before the Darshan opens and wait for Shreeji.
Waiting for the doors to open, I try meditating on ShreeNathji. Also some thoughts from an earlier conversation with Gurushree were in my mind. He explained to me how purity of bhao has deteriorated in humans and the shram that Shreeji might be experiencing.
I wondered how sad Shreeji must be today with this loss of devotion. The truth is there as history, how much Shreeji enjoyed playing Live with His Vrajvasis when He Lived on Shri Govardhan.
Suddenly I heard ShreeNathji’s sweet and melodious voice echoing inside, as if complaining,अचानक मुझे श्रीजी की मधुर गुंजन सुनाई दी, जैसे की वह कुछ शिकायत करना चाह रहें हैं.
Shreeji: “Since sooooo many years this mukhiya only rotates a phirkee. I have become very bored. I run away from here. They do not think of anything new. All tempt Me with an extra Laddoo to make Me do their work. No one comes to just play and have fun with me anymore”.
श्रीजी: “यह मुखिया सिर्फ फिरकी घूमता रहता है इतने सालों से. मैं तो बोर हो गया . मैं तो भाग जाता हूँ. कुछ नया तो सोचते ही नहीं . देखो मुझे लालच देकर काम करवाते हैं .एक लड्डू ज्यादा देकर कहते हैं की मेरा काम करो . कोई मेरे साथ खेलने या मस्ती करने तो नहीं आता” .
Over joyed in this anubhuti, I replied;
I asked Shreeji: ‘Shreeji, if You wish I could be Your friend. I will always play whenever You want; if You wish to accept me as a friend’.
इस अनुभूति से बहुत आनंदित होकर मैंने जवाब देने की कोशिश करी;
मैंने कहा: ‘श्रीजी अगर आप चाहें तो मैं आपकी फ्रेंड बन सकती हूँ, आप के साथ खेल सकती हूँ, अगर आप मुझे फ्रेंड बनाना चाहें तो’
I was thrilled to receive an answer, immediately,
मैं आस्चर्या चकित हो गई श्रीजी से यह जवाब सुनकर;
Shreeji: “Ok, you are my friend, I will come to play with you.You are my ‘best friend’ and you will be the only ‘friend’ I will ever have”.
श्रीजी; “ओके तुम मेरी फ्रेंड हो; मैं तुम्हारे साथ खेलने आऊंगा. तुम मेरी बेस्ट फ्रेंड हो मैं और सिर्फ तुम ही हमेशा मेरी फ्रेंड रहोगी, और कोई नहीं”.
And since then He has kept to His word, and made me a part of many Divine Leelas.
There have been innumerable precious moments when I have been graced with ShreeNathji’s Divine Presence and the gunjan (echo) of Shreeji’s Divinely sweet voice, where He talks and plays various leelas. Shreeji has agreed to be my MahaGurushree too.
और तभी से, श्रीजी ने उनकी कही हुई बात निभाई है, और मुझे कई दिव्य अनुभूति का हिस्सा बनाया है. ऐसे बहुत सारे अमूल्य क्षण का हिस्सा बनी हूँ जब श्रीजी की कृपा से उनकी दिव्य हाजिरी और उनकी मधुर आवाज़ के गुंजन से लीला और खेल करते हैं.
श्रीजी मेरे महागुरुश्री भी बनने के लिए मान गए हैं.
(It is like a repeat of the 84 Vaishnavs or 252 Vaishnav Ki Vaarta, in today’s time period).
At times this is the voice of a very young infant; at other moments like an older child or at times an adult talking about various happening.
Maybe Shreeji would actually want to move away and be elsewhere, maybe He actually runs away from the mandir after the first few moments of giving darshans;
He could be spending His day with a few true devotees who keep total love and devotion- bhao for Him.
In fact you will never truly know where He truly is today; as none is close enough to Him.
My MahaGurushree, ShreeNathji Ki Jai Ho!
Thank You for Your trust in me, I am humbled..
