Miracle Live Darshans at Rajbhog, in Nathdwara mandir

श्रीनाथजी के आलोकिक दर्शन नाथद्वारा हवेली; राजभोग में,

“..तुरंत मुझे श्रीजी की  नटखट मधुर खिलखिलाहट कान में सुनी..”

14th June 2008

आज भी हमारे बीच श्रीनाथजी अपना हवेली मंदिर छोड़ कर अपने चहेते भक्त के साथ खेलने जाते हैं.

ऐसा लगता है की ६०० साल पुरानी एतिहासिक वैशनव वार्ता एक बार फिर ठाकुरजी हमारे बीच दोहरा रहे हैं, अपने कुछ भक्तों के साथ लीला करते हैं. 

Even today in our present time period, ShreeNathji leaves His Haveli Mandir to play with His Bhakts. This is like a repeat of the Vaishnav Vaartas from five hundred years ago, when He interacted with His chosen bhakts in the most Live manner.

Read on…

इस वार्ता में आपके साथ मैं एक बहुत ही अधभुत और दिव्य अनुभूति  शेर करना चाहती हूँ. नाथद्वारा में घटित यह प्रभु की आलोकिक लीला और खेल है.

I share my very special day at Nathdwara, when something very unique and miraculous happened. This very auspicious day was:

 १४ जून २००८- निर्जला एकादसी; ज्येष्ठ सूद ग्यारस 

14 June 2008 – Nirjala Ekadasi; Jyesth Sud gyaras

बहुत भीड़ होने के बावजूद हमने सुबह के तीनों दर्शन शांति पूर्ण करे. आश्चर्य होता है की इतनी भीड़ के बावजूद सभी भक्त नाथद्वारा के पतली गली और मंदिर परिसर में समा जाते हैं. 

We completed the three morning darshans in peace; though because of the extreme crowds it becomes difficult even to walk at a regular pace. It is incredible how so many bhakts are accommodated in the narrow lanes and the mandir parisar.

आज राजभोग दर्शन(हर दिन का यह चौथा दर्शन होता है)में श्रीजी ने यह अधभुत और दिव्य खेल खेला.  बड़े मुखियाजी आज सेवा में है. हम ‘डोलती बारी’ में श्रीनाथजी के सम्मुख दर्शन का आनंद ले रहे हैं. मुखियाजी श्रीजी का श्रींगार पूर्ण कर रहे हैं.

It was in Rajbhog Darshans (This is the fourth darshan of the day) that Shreeji did this unique leela. It was the senior Mukhiyaji in sewa today. We stood praying in the Dolti Baari,(darshan hall) before Shreeji, and watched Mukhiyaji complete the final Shringar for Shreeji.

जिन भक्त को नाथद्वारा दर्शन के लिए आने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ है, वे जानते हैं की राजभोग दर्शन में श्रीनाथजी को बाँसुरी जी और छड़ीजी चढ़ाई जाती है. उनके बग़ल में ३ या ४ कमल भेंट करते हैं. 

All who may have been here know that Shreeji is offered His Bansuri jiand Chadi ji in the Rajbhog darshan. His three or four Kamal are also offered on His arms, around His waist.

मैं शांत और गम्भीरता से मुखियाजी को श्रीनाथजी का शृंगार धरते दर्शन कर रही हूँ. मुखियाजी श्रीनाथजी को पहले दो कमल धर चुके हैं, जो श्रीजी ने स्वीकार कर लिए. आश्चर्य हुआ की जब वे तीसरा कमल चढ़ाते हैं तो श्रीजी स्वीकार नहीं करते हैं. 

I stand at peace, transfixed as I watch Mukhiyaji complete Thakurjee’s shringar. He carefully places the first two Kamal flowers on Shreeji’s waist; but surprisingly, as he tries placing the third one, Shreeji refused to accept this lotus.

 

अचानक उसी पल मुझे श्रीजी की मधुर गूँज अपने कान में सुनाई दी, “अरे हटाओ मुझे चुबता है” 

Instantly at the same moment I hear Shreeji’s sweet, melodious voice whisper in my ears,”Arrey, take it away, it pricks Me”

उसी पल हमने देखा की मुखियाजी तीसरा कमल फूल श्रीजी से दूर हटा रहे हैं . श्रीजी जो मेरे कान में बोल रहे थे, उसी पल मुखियाजी वह आदेश का पालन सामने  सेवा में कर रहे थे.  

In that immediate moment I saw Mukhiyaji take the third lotus away from Shreeji. It was in perfect timing as I heard Shreeji say these words in my ears, that the Mukhiyaji also followed the same instructions in sewa.

नियम है की अगर श्रीजी अंगीकार नहीं करते तो सेवा कर रहे मुखियाजी साक्षात दण्डवत से माफ़ी माँगते हैं, जो उन्ने अभी करी.

When Shreeji refuses anything the Mukhiyaji doing sewa has to do a shashtang bow and ask for forgiveness; which he did.

तुरंत मुझे श्रीजी की  नटखट मधुर खिलखिलाहट कान में सुनी,“देखो मैंने कमल नहीं लिया  उसको बोला हटाओ, हा हा हा; मैं ऐसे ही खेल करता हूँ”.

Immediately I heard Shreeji’s naughty laughter in my ear,“See I did not accept it, told him to remove it. Ha, ha, ha, I like to Play in this way”.

मुझे अपने आँख और कानों पर भरोसा नहीं हो रहा है. यह तो साक्षात दर्शन की कृपा है, ठाकुरजी की. श्रीनाथजी हमारे इतने नज़दीक से लीला कर रहे हैं. मैंने गर्दन घुमाई लेकिन ऐसा लगा की सबने देखा लीला को किंतु किसीने यह आवाज़ नहीं सुनी और समझे नहीं श्रीजी का खेल.परम आनंद है. हमने आरती पूरी करी, दण्डवत करके डोलती बारी से बाहर आ गए.

I could not believe my eyes and ears. This was Sakshat Darshans. Shreeji was here with us blessing us so closely. I looked around, but though all saw what had happened, no one else seemed to hear Shreeji’s voice. What bliss! We did the Aarti, bowed and left.

दर्शन करके जैसे ही हम हवेली से बाहर निकले, मुझे फिर से श्रीजी की मौजूदगी का एहसास हुआ. श्रीजी की मधुर आवाज़ सुनाई दी, जो नटखट, मस्ती भरी स्वर में बातचीत कर रहे थे;

As we walked out of the Haveli, I again realized Shreeji’s Presence with us. I hear His sweet voice again, speaking in a very amused and naughty tone;

श्रीजी कह रहे थे: “मैं तुम्हारे साथ चलता हूँ. आज मुझे बहुत मज़ा आया, वोह मुखिया को मैंने बेवकूफ बनाया; हा हा हा. मुझे कुछ नहीं चुबता था.  वह तो आज तुमको मेरा खेल दिखाना चाहता था.  तू हमेशा बोलती रहती दर्शन देने के लिए, तुम्हे आज दर्शन दे दिया.  मुखिया की कोई गलती नहीं थी, वह तो मेरा खेल था सिर्फ़ तुम्हारे लिए. मैंने थोड़ी सी मस्ती करी. तुम्हे आनंद आया की नहीं? चलो यह मेरा खेल मेरी वेबसाइट पर लिख देना.कोई पूछे की तुम यह कैसे लिख सकती हो, तो बोल देना की श्रीजी का हुकुम है”.

Shreeji spoke: “I will come with you’ll. I had a lot of fun today, I fooled the Mukhiya, ha,ha, ha. Nothing was pricking me. I only wanted to show you My Play. You always keep asking for darshans, I showed you my Play today. It was my Leela only for you today, the Mukhiya did not commit any mistake. I just did some maasti. Did you enjoy in this?Ok, write about My Play on ‘MY’ website. If anyone asks why you have written, say that it is Shreeji’s hukum”.

श्रीजी आगे कहते हैं, “यह तुम्हारा प्रसाद आज के लिए. अब ‘टिक टिक’ मत करना. बहुत दिमाग खाती रहती है की दर्शन कराओ, मेरा भी और इसका(गुरुश्री)भी ”.

Shreeji continues talking, “This is your Prasad for today, hence forth stop all your tik, tik (pestering), you keep eating My head and his (Gurushree’s), for My Darshans”.

पूरे दिन यह अधभूत लीला मेरे विचार में घूम रही है. मेरे सोच में आ रहा है, की ऐसा मैं ने क्या कर्म किया इस ठाकुरजी के साक्षात्कार पाने के लिए. श्रीजी ने शायद यह विचार को समझ लिया.

Later in the day all this happening was very strong in my mind. I wondered what had I done to deserve this Sakshatkar Darshan? Shreeji must have realized this thought in my mind.

कुछ समय बाद श्रीनाथजी ने मुझे समझाया, “सुधीर ने आज सुबह मुझ से विनती करी थी, ‘श्रीजी इसको (आभा) कुछ दर्शन देने की कृपा करें,  इसका बहुत मन बहुत शुद्ध है और यह आप पर पूर्ण भाव और श्रद्धा रखती है’.तो देखो, मैंने तुम्हें कितने अच्छे दर्शन दिए” .

ShreeNathji later explained to me, “Sudhir had requested me today morning, ‘Shreeji, please grant her (Abha) Your Darshans; she is fully surrendered to You and keeps complete bhav and shraddha on You’So see I gave such Live Darshans to you. Ha Ha Ha..”

मैंने श्रीजी से पूछा, “श्रीजी, मुखियाजी को कैसे पता चलता है की आप कुछ शृंगार स्वीकार नहीं करेंगे”?

I ask Shreeji, “Shreeji, how does the Mukhiyaji come to know that You will not accept”?

श्रीजी जवाब देते हैं, “मैं उस चीज को मुझे छूने नहीं देता हूँ. वह मुझसे दूर होती रहती है”.

Shreeji replies, “I do not let the object touch Me, it keeps jumping away from Me”.

जिसका मतलब हुआ की श्रीजी उस शृंगार को अपने पास नहीं आने देते, जो उन्हें उस समय स्वीकार नहीं करना होता है. वह उनकी शक्तिशाली प्रकाश से दूर रहता है.

Which would mean that He keeps blowing it away from Him, so the Mukhiyaji is not able to get it close to Him, it gets ejected from Him)

और ज़्यादा क्या  लिखूँ या समझाने की कोशिश कर सकती हूँ?

आलोकिक लीला और दिव्य खेल दर्शन सिर्फ़ शुद्ध भाव और श्रद्धा में समझे जा सकते हैं. 

यह श्रीनाथजी की हवेली है. यहाँ श्रीनाथजी का दिव्य स्वरूप विराजमान है. श्रीजी यहाँ व्रज से उठ कर पधारे थे. इस मंदिर, हवेली में कुछ सेवक  ऐसे भी हैं जिन्हें श्रीनाथजी का दिव्य अनुभव होता है.

What do I write or say or explain further? Certain spiritual happenings are beyond logic and can be understood only in faith.

It is ShreeNathji’s mandir, where we all believe Shreeji Lives in a very Live manner. Many sewaks have had an anubhuti of His Presence in the mandir.

मेरे श्रीजी, बहुत कृपा आपकी,

My Dear Shreeji, Thank You for all the kripa and love on this bhakt.

आपकी जय हो 

Jai Shreeji!

यह एक दिव्य लीला है, ठाकुरजी की. मैंने पूरी कोशिश करी है इसे उसी सादगी से आपके सामने रखने की, जितनी सादगी से प्रभु खेल कर देते हैं अपने भक्तों के साथ.

सिर्फ़ और सिर्फ़ श्रीनाथजी के हुकुम से और मेरे गुरुश्री के आशीर्वाद से आपके आनंद के लिए; 

आभा शाहरा श्यामॉ

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are called at 3.30 am to ShreeNathji’s Haveli.

ShreeNathji – His “LIVE” interactions Varta in today’s time period.

We are called at 3.30 am to Shreeji’s Haveli.

श्रीजी, “तुम ग़ुस्सा हो इतनी जल्दी उठा कर लाया तुम्हें?

 

This Varta is from the 3, 4 June, 2007

We leave for Nathdwara on the 3^rd afternoon. As it is Adhik maas, this yatra is planned to Nathdwara first and directly from there to Vraj Mandal, till the 13^th June.

We reach Nathdwara only at 8 pm. Next morning which is the 4^th  June, I am woken up at 2.45am by Gurushree, Sudhir bhai. “We will go and wait in the outer parisar of the Haveli early today. Shreeji has sent a hukum for us to be there early”.

I hurriedly shower and am ready by 3.15 am. Out on the streets, it is yet dark in total silence. There is hardly anyone to be seen this early, on way to the Haveli. We reach ShreeNathji Haveli at around 3.30 am and sit at our favorite place. It is an empty parisar with just the few guards outside the main gate of Shreeji mandir.

In this darkness, the early morning serenity and silence are broken by the loud banging from breakage going on around the Haveli.
This loud disturbing noise was because of throwing the stones and cement debris from the broken structures in a tractor.
This actually is the reason that Shreeji has ordered us to be here so early today. As we sit here, Shreeji’s divine Presence can be felt very strongly. His melodious voice echos,

श्रीजी – ” तुम ग़ुस्सा हो इतनी जल्दी उठा कर लाया तुम्हें?

Shreeji – “Are you angry that I woke you so early and bought you here”

मैंने जवाब दिया – ‘नहीं श्रीजी, बिलकुल नहीं, हुकुम करिये ‘
I answer – ‘Of course not at all Shreeji, tell me your hukum’.
श्रीजी – “देखो यह कैसे पत्थर पटकते हैं। कितनी आवाज़ करते हैं। श्रीजी कैसे सो सकते हैं यह कोई सोचता ही नहीं. किसी को परवाह नहीं की श्रीजी जाग जाएँगे। पूरी रात इसी तरह शोर करते हैं। तुम्हें यह बताना था”।

Shreeji – “Just see, how these people bang stones. They make tremendous noise. No one has the bhao to understand that Shreeji must be sleeping inside. Nobody cares that how can Shreeji sleep in so much noise; He might be disturbed and will wake up. Entire night they make this loud noise. I called you early only to show you this noise.

 

श्रीजी – “मैंने सुधीर से यह बात कही थी रात को। लेकिन इसने जवाब दिया की, ‘ श्रीजी, आप ही के मंदिर का काम चल रहा है, थोड़ी आवाज़ तो होगी ही, चला लेना पड़ेगा। इन लोगों में समझ नहीं है कि आपको डिस्टर्ब होता होगा। आप ही चाहते हैं कि मंदिर का काम हो’। सुधीर सही कहता है”.

Shreeji – “I had mentioned this to Sudhir earlier. He told me that, ‘Shreeji Your mandir work is going on, there will be some noise. You will have to accommodate this noise for some days. The authorities here lack understanding; they will not understand that it might disturb You’.

Sudhir speaks right”.

 

मैंने जवाब दिया – ‘श्रीजी, मैं इनको कहूँ काम धीमे करने के लिए’।

I ask Shreeji – ‘Shreeji should I request them to work silently’.
श्रीजी – “नहीं, नहीं, तुम कुछ मत बोलना। मैं तो तुम्हें जल्दी लाया था सिर्फ़ दिखाने के लिए।

काम तो करना ही होता है। तुम अपनी वेब्सायट  में लिखना की देखो किसी को,भाव नहीं है श्रीजी के लिए”।

(हम लोग श्रीजी के हुकुम से उनकी वेबसाइट श्रीनाथजीभक्ति बनाने की तैयारी कर रहे थे)

Shreeji – “No no, you don’t have to say anything to them. I bought you here only to show this to you. The work will have to be completed. You can write this on your website, look what is happening; no one has any bhao for Shreeji anymore”. (This was the time when we were planning Shreenathjibhakti website for Shreeji, under His hukum).
We sat like this for nearly an hour. Shreeji keeps on making jokes about the loud noise that is happening.

श्रीजी – “यह देखो आइ पत्थर लेकर, अब पटकेगी। पटको,पटको, ज़ोर से पटको, हा हा हा..”

Shreeji – “See here she comes with the stones, now she will bang the stones loudly now. Throw, throw, throw, bang loudly, ha, ha, ha”

Shreeji keeps on making me laugh, asking me if I was angry that He had woken me up so early as we just sat here doing nothing.

श्रीजी – “देखो, मैं तुमको कितना हंसाता  रहता हूँ”. सबको ख़ुशी देनी चाहिए”.
Shreeji – “See, how I make you laugh always, we should give joy to everyone”.

 

During day time because of the heavy crowd there is no place for a tractor to come inside to carry the cement and stones.

The only problem was that these workers threw the stones in the tractor with a loud bang; they obviously had no instructions or training from the mandir authorities to work silently. This being Shreeji’s Haveli where He lives, He is very disturbed by the loud noise and banging all night through.

When we wait at Mangla all Vaishnavs are always asked to stay quiet, as Shreeji is sleeping inside. None is allowed in the premises once the Shayan Darshan is over. No one inside also dares to make any noise, as not to cause disturbance to Thakurjee.

It is only after Shankhnaad that Shreeji wakes up. This proves that all believe of ShreeNathji’s “LIVE PRESENCE” in His Haveli.

All locals as well as authorities must have been aware of this loud banging every day, yet none had the bhao to go correct the situation and make it quieter. Maybe that is why Shreeji woke us and called us here to show what is happening.

(As Sudhir bhai had explained that the work has to go on, Shreeji should allow it. We cannot help it if the people in power have no bhao to think that Shreeji is sleeping inside and will be disturbed. So Shreeji maybe decides that He will let the work continue, and go sleep somewhere else. Shreeji, being so full of kindness and compassion forgives all. All He told me was to write about this happening on my website. We had tears in our eyes. Have we lost all bhao. Entire nights Shreeji may have not been able to sleep because of the very loud noise of loading stones in a tractor).

It is His town and His Haveli; and may be Shreeji is not happy with the way His sewa  is being done. Who can stop Him if He decides to leave and go back to His favorite Dham, Vraj Mandal.

People have come with their shops till the main entrance of Shreeji’s Haveli. Here they dirty and cause filth all over, not giving any thought about the purity that should be maintained if God Lives here. They all take advantage of the kindness and forgiveness nature of Shreeji.

Mangla opened at 5 am today.

Shreeji kripa rakhen, You are very kind and forgiving.

Shreeji ki Jai ho!

 

 

 

 

Our first visit to Ghasiyar-ShreeNathji comes with us to visit His old Home.

ShreeNathji – His “LIVE” interactions varta in today’s time period.

Our first visit to Ghasiyar-ShreeNathji comes with us to visit His old Home.

श्रीनाथजी तुरंत मुझे जवाब देते हैं, “मुझे अच्छी तरह याद है, घसियार हवेली मेरा पुराना घर है. मैं वहां कभी कभी जाता हूँ. आज मैं भी तुम्हारे साथ चलूँगा”.

5th June 2007

When doing some research on ShreeNathji details for His website, (www.shreenathjibhakti.org); I came across this place called Ghasiyar. This is the Haveli that Shreeji had stayed for nearly ten years.

It looked very interesting and to know further details and get some photos for the website a visit was essential. I explained to Sudhir bhai about this divine place, and that this had been Shreeji’s home for ten long years. Sudhir bhai agreed to visit, so today we would do our Guwal and Rajbhog darshans here at Ghasiyar.

I am super excited to visit this place, as it sounds so pure and sacred. So today early morning when waiting with Gurushree for Mangla darshans to open, at around 4am, I tried talking to  Shreeji, informing Him about our visit to His old Haveli at Ghasiyar later that day.

मुझे घसियार दर्शन करने की बहुत ही कतूहलता हो रही थी; उसके बारे में पढ़ने के बाद लगता था की बहुत ही पवित्र और शुद्ध जगह है. इसलिए आज प्रातकाल 4 बजे, जब गुरुश्री के साथ मंगला दर्शन के लिए हवेली के बाहर खड़ी थी, मैंने श्रीजी से वार्तालाप करने की कोशिश करी; उन्हें बताने के लिए की हम आज उनकी पुरानी हवेली पर जा रहे हैं, जो घसियार में है.

To my amazement, ShreeNathji replied immediately, “I remember it very well. Ghasiyar Haveli is my old home. I visit there sometimes. I will also come with you’ll”.

श्रीनाथजी तुरंत मुझे जवाब देते हैं, “मुझे अच्छी तरह याद है, घसियार हवेली मेरा पुराना घर है. मैं वहां कभी कभी जाता हूँ. आज मैं भी तुम्हारे साथ चलूँगा”.

It felt to me as if I was a part of Him and going to visit His old Home was as nostalgic for me, and felt as if I belonged here.

मुझे इस समय यह महसूस होने लगा की मैं श्रीनाथजी का ही कुछ हिस्सा हूँ, और उनके पुराने घर पर जाना मेरे लिए उनके जितना ही रोमांचक हो रहा था; ऐसे प्रतीत हो रहा था की मैं भी यहीं की हूँ.

So around 9-9.30 am, after completing the Shringar darshans at Nathdwara Haveli we left for Ghasiyar .

Once there at Ghasiyar later in the day, Shreeji was very happy. I could again feel His Vibrational Presence, talking to me from inside; telling me how happy He is to be here and how He moves around the entire area enjoying Himself tremendously. He told me He would also be Present inside the Nij Mandir today when both the darshans opened.

Again I felt Shreeji’s Presence around us complaining like a small child, “It is very hot here, but I am very happy that you both remember this place, anyone hardly visits this place.

श्रीजी की मौजूदगी का फिर एहसास होता है. उनकी मोहक आवाज़ में वोह शिकायत करते हैं, “यहाँ तो बहुत गर्मी है, लेकिन कोई बात नहीं. मैं खुश हूँ की तुम लोग ने याद करा. यहाँ और कोई आता ही नहीं है”.

We received Prasad of ‘Khopra pak’ today; which was extremely sweet and tasty. I tried telling Shreeji in my mind how extra sweet and tasty the Prasad was. “Of course, it will be”, Shreeji again said, “I like eating extra sweet offerings”.

हमें प्रसाद में आज खोपरा पाक मिला जो की बहुत ही जियादा मीठा था. मन में मैंने श्रीजी को यह बताने  की कोशिश करी, की यह खोपरा पाक कितना मीठा और स्वादिष्ट है. “अरे वोह तो होगा ही ना, मुझे अधिक मीठा प्रसाद पसंद है”, श्रीजी जवाब देते हैं.

Later I mentioned to Sudhir bhai about this anubhuti. At that moment he silenced me, saying “Yes, I know; you are very lucky. Hardly anyone would be able to experience all the Divine closeness with Shreeji”.

Gurushree Sudhir bhai and I came here at Ghasiyar to study the details. We took pictures from outside, as similar to the Nathdwara Haveli no photography is allowed in the mandir premises. We stayed on for nearly 3-4 hours, enjoying the serenity and sacredness of the whole area. We managed to do darshans of Gwal and Rajbhog.

My Dear ShreeNathji Baba ki Jai Ho!

Ghasiyar photos from our visits there:

Details about Ghasiyar:

As ShreeNathji travelled to Mevar, His Rath got stuck at one spot. When asked why, Shreeji replied, “My bhakt Ajaba Kunwari lived here; so My mandir should be built here, I will live here for a long time; this place reminds Me of Braj, I like the mountains here”. “There is also the Banas River which represents Yamunaji”. “This is Ajaba Kunwari’s land”, Shreeji said; “I will stay here. Tell all the Gusain Balak to build their baithak here also”.
Shri Govindaji began preparations to get the mandir ready. He ordered Gopaldas Usta, to hire maximum people and make sure that ShreeNathji mandir is ready in the earliest possible time. Work began day and night with hundreds of workers, and in a few months Shreeji’s mandir was ready.

In Vikram Samvat 1672 in Falgun Vad Satam, (AD-1728) Shri Damodar Maharajji (ShriDauji) established ShreeNathji’s Paat in the mandir Haveli. It was all perfectly done with Vastu pratishta and pujan, according to Vedic rites. Slowly all the various rituals and festivals were started again here similar to the Govardhan hill. Since then Shreeji happily began living here at Mewar.
A Gaushala was also built close by for all of Shreeji’s cows.
Shri Dauji Maharaj with a lot of loving care took care of Shreeji, and celebrated all utsav and the Mahautsav; all Shringar was also done by him.

But soon there was a problem created by the Scindia army. They wanted 3 lakh mudras or else threatened to loot the Haveli. As soon as the Maharana of Udaipur heard this he immediately made arrangements to move Shreeji to Udaipur for safety. Shreeji stayed in the Udaipur Haveli for nearly 10 months till His new Haveli was built at a place called Ghasiyar. This scenic place is situated in the Gokunda Mountains.
As Shreeji should not feel upset with the whole arrangement an exact replica of His Haveli in Nathdwara was erected. His Paat Utsav was celebrated here. Sewa similar to the Haveli at Nathdwara was also established soon.

There is a very interesting story behind the reason for moving out from Ghasiyar and back to Nathdwara.
Shri Gusainji-son of Mahaprabhuji had 7 sons. One of them, Shri Girdhariji came here with ShreeNathji for continuation of sewa. He was in charge of looking after the needs of Shreeji.

Once the Ghasiyar Haveli was built, all the followers and sewaks who had accompanied Him from Giriraj, (the original Appearance place of Shreeji) settled with Shreeji here at Ghasiyar for His sewa. Soon Shri Girdhariji began to face problems. He found that all children born here did not survive. It was discovered that the environment and water here was bad, and would not let any further generations of Mahaprabhuji survive. In great distress Shri Girdhariji went and bowed before Shreeji, telling Him of this misfortune; “There will be no one left to do Your sewa, we have to move back from here”. As Shri Girdhariji bowed down, Shreeji spread His feet side ways, outwardly, putting His right hand on his head as blessings and approval. (These are the darshans maintained here in the form of a pichwai showing Shreeji’s lotus feet turned sideways).
With Shreeji’s approval and blessings, they all moved back.
After Shreeji shifted back from here, His Haveli has been left intact, with the sewa continuing in a similar manner. No village has been built around here. The management is with the Nathdwara board. The place is nearly always empty. Three people manage it on a regular basis: the main mukhiyaji-Abgirdhar, munim and a watchman. As we spoke to the mukhiyaji he told us that about 15-20 bhakts came in for darshans daily; as people are not aware that such a place exists.

Though there is a Gaushala very few cows stay on a regular basis. During Annakut about 500 cows come here from Nathdwara which then return. Also when there is shortage of green grass around the Nathdwara Gaushala, some cows are temporarily shifted here.

ShreeNathji becomes my MahaGurushree and makes me His ‘Best Friend’

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..
