He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd. This is considered to be a greater avatãr than the others, as Shree Krishna possessed all of the powers of Bhagvãn, whereas other avatãrs possessed less power. Shree Krishna conveyed the message of love and humanity to the world. Also, He recited the epic poem, the Bhagvad Geetã, to Arjun in which He stated: ‘Whenever dharma declines and adharma increases, I shall incarnate myself as a human to save the holy, to destroy the sin of the sinner, and to establish dharma. I come into being from yug to yug’. 2) In the Vachanãmrut, Shreeji Mahãrãj also uses the name “Shree Krishna” to describe Bhagvãn Purushottam Nãrãyan.

There were Sankadiks; Sankadiks were skilled in renunciation. But they had to return along with Vairat because their worship was of that kind.

The avatars that manifest from him are also of Bhagwan, of Vasudev, as Maharaj said. Avatars manifest from Vairat Narayan, as written in the second canto of the Bhagavat. So, all 24 avatars are shown to manifest from Vairat Narayan. But Maharaj said that although those avatars are mentioned and that chapter is true, yet when Vasudev enters, Vasudev means Anadi Narayan. Only when Narayan enters can it be considered an avatar. It becomes possible. Otherwise, it does not. But in that case, it happens that in Vairat Narayan, Vasudev resides. And Sankadiks worshipped Vairat Narayan. So, does that not become the worship of Vasudev? Does it not? Maharaj resides in this murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn.

Those too are said to be of Vasudev. If avatars manifest from Vairat, then by worshipping him, one should become nirgun nirgun 1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8]. Tap to open in glossary → It is said that avatars manifest from Vairat. In the second canto of the Bhagavat, it is said that from Vairat Narayan, 24 avatars manifested. 'Ete cāṁśa-kalā'—thus, some are described as amshavatar, some as kala avatar, some as aveshavatar, and some as amshamsh avatar. Vyas Bhagwan wrote so. 'Ete cāṁśa-kalā'—such a sentence is written. So, in this, Swami spoke thus, that by worshipping Vairat Narayan, one does not become nirgun nirgun 1) Without gun.

Tap to open in glossary → It seems he has not come. What, brother, tell me? Vairat Narayan—Narayan Himself is represented in Vairat. Narayan is in Vairat, believing so, if one worships him, then perhaps it happens. So, Sankadiks must be worshipping with that belief, right? It is not that Vairat is completely blank and we worship him; they were much wiser than us. Sankadiks, did they have as much intelligence as us or not? Mukund Swami, tell me. You have been caught today. So, in the murti murti 1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship. There are eight types of murtis that can be worshipped: stone, wood, metal, earth, engraved or drawn, sand, gems, and mental. 2) The form of Bhagvãn. Tap to open in glossary → Does it seem so?

Tap to open in glossary → But Vairat Narayan cannot be. Cannot be, meaning if one wants to end birth and death, it cannot be done. Therefore, in that, if there is a conscious being, it interferes. By projecting Bhagwan onto an inanimate object, there is no interference. Bhagwan's consecration is done in inanimate objects. Consecration in a conscious being—Maharaj if we invite Maharajshri and consecrate marble murtis and then worship them, then if there is some good devotee like Mukund Swami, and we perform his arti near Maharaj, then what? So, can it be done or not? Mukund Swami, what do you say? Meaning, if one wants to go to the Dham, it should not be done. If one wants to go to the Dham, it can be done. What can be done? If one wants to go to the Dham, it should not be done; if one wants to go to the village, to wander around in the village, then it can be done. But otherwise, merely a painting or marble or metal, compared to their image, is Mukund Swami not considered better? The problem is that he is sitting in between, otherwise there is no issue. Huh? The problem is that he is sitting in between, otherwise there is no issue. If you do not move like him, then it is fine. If you do nothing. In between, someone comes to worship Bhagwan in you and you move, then it creates confusion. Therefore, by worshipping Vairat Narayan, one does not become nirgun nirgun 1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8]. Tap to open in glossary → Sankadiks worship Bhagwan Vairat Narayan, so along with this universe, Vairat Narayan is created; by worshipping him, Vairat Narayan himself is created, then his worshipper also has to be created. Therefore, birth and death occur. And Datt, Kapil Bhagwan, they are all said to be nirgun nirgun 1) Without gun. Not possessing any qualities of the three guns of Mãyã – sattva-gun, rajo-gun, and tamo-gun. Beyond all mãyik qualities. Divine. 2) Extremely subtle. [Kãriyãni – 8]. Tap to open in glossary → Even if they manifested from Vairat, even if they manifested from Vairat, in Datt and Kapil, there is no other soul except Bhagwan. In them is the full light of Bhagwan. Therefore, if one wants to worship, one should worship pure Maharaj. No other person should come in between. An image, whether a painted image, metal image, or stone image, is not an issue. But if other gurus, no matter how powerful, sit in between, then they close the door. Tribhuvanbhai has written that the guru guru A teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn. Tap to open in glossary → chandravala. That the guru guru A teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn. Tap to open in glossary → So, in olden times, when kings and emperors sat sat 1) True.

To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2]. Tap to open in glossary → But often, they sit with torches and then block the door. So, gurus have a bit of this nature, they block the door. They do show Bhagwan with the torch, but they sit right in front of Bhagwan. Go ahead, have darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.

No matter how they are, double or triple layered brahmavid they may be, almost everyone believes in a single layer, no one has double or triple layered titles. In our Junagadh region, it was said that Narayandas Swami is a double Bhagwan. He was only a servant of Maharaj. But everyone had such a conviction, that if we have darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings.

Even then, his worship should not be done. Worship should only be of the image of Maharaj. 'Na tu jīvā nṛ-devādyā bhaktā brahma-vido 'pi ca.' Then Maharaj wrote about brahmavid in one word, calling him satpurush, or pragat brahma, or such-and-such brahma, giving various titles. But his worship cannot be done. He can be served. And if one worships him, then as our brother Mukund Swami said, if one wants to go to the Dham, it cannot be done. If one wants to go to the village, it can be done. Then one keeps wandering around in the village. AI translation of the Gujarati transcript above, produced in the same pass that transcribed the audio, one English segment per Gujarati segment.
