Sarve rashakta vardhakyata gariyasya padathava bhaktaya KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. 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.Tap to open in glossary → manyasme datva vrutyam yatha balam

And all those satsangis of ours, when they become incapable due to old age or some great calamity, they should give the form of Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

When due to old age, one loses the ability to worship God, or if a major incurable disease occurs, or if there is a disturbance like a civil war, and one is unable to perform Bhagwat Puja,

then there is no chance.

Civil war means?

Here, civil war.

Civil war means in the state.

Suppose there was a riot between Hindus and Muslims.

Or in olden times, some kings would invade.

When there is internal conflict in society, it becomes very difficult to save a person's life.

Suppose, when India gained independence, how many Hindus came from Pakistan.

What does a person do in such a time?

And how can one maintain the atmanivedi dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion,Tap to open in glossary →?

Yes.

If a major incurable disease occurs, or if there is a disturbance like a civil war, and one is unable to perform Bhagwat Puja,

then all Vaishnava devotees, whether atmanivedi or ordinary, should give their murtimurti1) 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 → or Shaligram for worship to another Bhagwat devotee who can perform the puja, along with prayers.

Then, one should act according to the country, time, age, situation, and strength, and maintain one's Vaishnava devotion by performing manasi puja.

It is said in Laghuharita Smriti that when Vaishnavas face a calamity, they should only perform manasi puja, and not external puja due to lack of strength.

That means, to maintain one's devotion.

When the time comes, Maharaj said in the 13th Vachanamrut of AntyaAntyaEnd. Final.Tap to open in glossary →.

That sometimes there is oppression by the king.

And if some king, like the British, has kept them in prison.

Then, one must maintain this ekantikpanu.

Here, Maharaj has also called it atmanivedi.

There, Maharaj has called it ekantikpanu.

It is difficult to maintain it then, otherwise one's senses and inner self are also like the British.

Sometimes they become subservient to it.

Sometimes they come in any situation.

Then, the conveniences and favorable conditions for performing bhaktibhaktiDevotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti:Tap to open in glossary → that exist in good times do not remain.

And today, if one has taken Thakorji, a murtimurti1) 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 → or Shaligram, can its puja be performed or not?

Then what to do?

So then, if there is someone who can properly maintain the puja of Thakorji, that form should be given to them.

And oneself

Giving it away does not mean that one ceases to be a devotee.

One's devotion should be maintained within the heart.

That is, it should be maintained by performing mental worship.

Maharaj said, "How can one maintain ekantikpanu (exclusive devotion)?"

What did he say in the Vachanamrut?

Maharaj says that the murtimurti1) 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 →, the murtimurti1) 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 → of God, goes with him.

Where is the ekantikpanu in that?

What did he say in the 13th Vachanamrut of AntyaAntyaEnd. Final.Tap to open in glossary →?

Then how can that devotee maintain ekantikpanu if some British ruler has imprisoned him or put him in jail?

And in the scriptures, it is said that only one who performs ekantik bhaktibhaktiDevotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti:Tap to open in glossary → (exclusive devotion) can maintain ekantikpanu.

And others cannot maintain ekantikpanu.

So if external devotion breaks, if it is broken, how can ekantikpanu remain?

How can his atmanivedipanu (self-surrender) remain?

So how does it remain?

It remains from within.

Maharaj says, "We speak as we experience it in our own way."

Then Maharaj said that one who has developed affection for God and God's devotee, no time or karmakarmaAction. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards.Tap to open in glossary → can break that affection.

External factors create opposition in external actions.

It cannot oppose anyone's mind.

If one wants to attach the mind to God, no one can oppose that.

All these times and places can damage external conduct.

They cannot damage internal conduct.

Who damages internal conduct? It is damaged if one's own internal bad company awakens.

So Maharaj says that we have maintained such affection for God in our soul and affection for God's devotee, that no one can ever damage it.

Thus, self-surrender can be maintained mentally.

And mentally, ekantikpanu can be maintained.

If one has established such a state during favorable times, then it remains when adverse times come.

If one hasn't thought about anything now and has just been making mistakes, then when such a situation arises, everything becomes clear to them.

So, during good times, one should prepare for the impending difficult times.

And no one knows for sure when difficult times will come for whom.

Maharaj said that

It cannot be said for sure what kind of circumstances a person will face due to their destiny.

We wish that God always keeps good circumstances.

But it cannot be said for sure.

So what happens then?

It was mentioned in the previous shloka, wasn't it?

That it is not difficult to maintain self-surrender when one is at home.

It is difficult to maintain self-surrender in adverse circumstances.

And it is difficult to maintain ekantikpanu in adverse circumstances.

When everything is equal, then both the ekantik and the confused are equal.

Everyone sits down to worship in the morning.

And in the evening, they sit down to perform arti of God.

So, even the confused ones have to follow the rules, and the others also have to follow the rules.

So his test doesn't happen then.

His test happens when adverse circumstances arise.

And how much self-surrender can we maintain in adverse circumstances?

And how much ekantikpanu can we maintain in adverse circumstances?

Then it is proven that we have that much self-surrender in our heart or in our soul.

But when should one prepare for it?

It doesn't happen on the day of the exam.

On that day, some of these teachers would say that you shouldn't do anything on that day.

Stay fresh.

You don't have to do anything on that day; on that day, you have to stay fresh, on the contrary.

So, when a calamity strikes, you don't prepare; you have to be patient.

And how to keep our self-surrender unbroken in this.

And how to keep ekantikpanu unbroken.

One should prepare for it when there are good circumstances and favorable conditions.

Then, when difficult times come, one realizes.

One only knows then whether it is in one's soul or not.

Now, in good times, one doesn't know how deep it is or when it will come out.

In good times, everyone is a devotee.

But when there are adverse times and some challenge comes, and in that challenge, we prove that no, my ekantikpan is correct.

So Maharaj said that.

That we have made such a firm resolve that even time and karmakarmaAction. Deed. Any thought, word, or deed that will sooner or later reap its consequences. Karmas of a person are linked to their rewards (cause and effect). Bhagvãn is the giver of the rewards of the karmas; good deeds reap pleasant rewards, and bad deeds reap painful fruits. Karmas remain with a jeev until it has received its rewards.Tap to open in glossary → cannot break our love for God and God's devotee.

And we have such love for God and God's devotee that when we are doing bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary → of God, such intoxication comes that we have to be careful.

That the social norms are properly maintained, otherwise, such intoxication comes that the norms are not maintained.

So, one should test all of that in the current circumstances to see if we are getting any current or not.

In the current circumstances, do we get any kind of support in the matter of God or not?

Maharaj says that we become intoxicated and madmadArrogance.Tap to open in glossary → at that time, that's what happens.

When we are doing bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary → and bhaktibhaktiDevotion to Bhagvãn. One of the four attributes of ekãntik dharma. There are nine types of bhakti:Tap to open in glossary →, we become madmadArrogance.Tap to open in glossary →.

But for the sake of other devotees in society, we remain a bit at a human level.

We do as everyone else does.

But internally, madness comes.

If such madness comes in the current times and in times of happiness, then it remains.

Then no matter what one does, that doesn't go away.

Now, if someone is barely moving their ears while dying.

Then in adverse circumstances, what about the ears? Everything stops, even moving the ears.

And the mouth remains open. There's no habit of moving the ears, let alone closing the mouth.

Now, if someone is barely moving their ears while dying, then in adverse circumstances, what about the ears? Everything stops, even moving the ears. And the mouth remains open. There's no habit of moving the ears, let alone closing the mouth.

So, one should prepare for it in the current circumstances.

When God has given us good times and places.

Then one should do as Maharaj said, and create such a state.

That is called sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → (state).

One who does not waver, who is not shaken by time and place, that is called sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary →.

And that sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → is tested in adverse circumstances.

In adverse circumstances, whether we have such a state or not.

Only its testing happens.

Preparation doesn't happen then.

And the sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → that happens, happens in good circumstances.

If one has paid attention and remained vigilant in good circumstances, then sthitisthiti1) The level of the spiritual state of a bhakta. 2) Sustenance of the world.Tap to open in glossary → happens in good circumstances.

And one should test it repeatedly.

One should do a mental test.

Now, there are good circumstances, and we are doing bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary →, but what happens if there is some adversity?

We often say, suppose we are doing small or big ektaana (fasting).

Knowing Maharaj's command, we do ektaana.

But if everyone gathers at the same time and sits down with their plates, then we also feel like sitting down for a while.

And sit with everyone.

So, we haven't decided here when we start that, we haven't decided then.

And so, one gets mixed with everyone.

Like Ganga went to Gangadas and Jamuna went to Jamunadas.

It becomes like that.

Whether I am Jamunadas or Gangadas, one has not decided that in the current circumstances.

Devotees of God, they do experience disturbances in time and place.

Hmm.

Then, when the time and place pass, if one immediately connects with ekantikpan and atmanivedipan.

Then in that, there is no deficiency in his attainment of God.

So Maharaj told Muktanand Swami that.

Maharaj said that it seems to us that when adverse times come, you get affected once, and then you come back again.

So Muktanand Swami said, Maharaj, such a deficiency remains, how can that deficiency be removed?

So that is called a deficiency.

When adverse times come, one gets a little submerged.

So that is called a deficiency.

What happens in this? When students are studying, they are very good devotees.

Then when they get married, then in satsangsatsang1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.Tap to open in glossary →, then.

They drown in two or five ways.

Then, when things settle down and children are born, they become devotees just like they were before, so they drown, so to speak.

If one dives in that way, it is called a flaw.

It just keeps going smoothly.

Even for sadhus and devotees.

That is difficult.

And the reason it is difficult is that Maharaj said that when there are good times, one has not prepared.

When there is good satsangsatsang1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.Tap to open in glossary →, one should check in their mind, whether one is a householder or a student, that if I keep such satsangsatsang1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.Tap to open in glossary → now and then get married and go to my in-laws' house, what will happen then?

So, at that time, one should have made some preparations, like finding in-laws who are already like that.

And I found another one that doesn't cause much trouble.

But if you haven't prepared much in advance, it won't happen.

Sadhus, when they keep satsangsatsang1) True company. The practice of associating with Bhagvãn’s sant, other satsangis, the ãtmã, and the sacred shãstras, and also observing vartmãns and niyams. 2) Also refers to the sampradãy, which is the presence of good company.Tap to open in glossary → and observe rules and dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion,Tap to open in glossary → with firmness, and when they gather completely in the samaiya, they jump around with everyone.

So, if it's not decided here, then they'll jump there.

There's no place for it there.

Then they come back here, and it's settled.

Ganga went, she became Gangadas, and Jamuna went, she became Jamunadas.

He doesn't know if he is Jamunadas or Gangadas.

They become whatever they go to.

In advance preparation, just thinking mentally.

Or there's some practice to do.

To practice.

If facilities are available and you don't accept them for a day or two, then how will it happen?

If we have facilities, we should not accept them for a day or two, to see if we can manage without them.

And whether we can maintain ekantik-panu or atmanivedi-panu or not.

These are the servants who force us to do all the atmanivedi-panu.

Then if it comes upon us.

Then, at that time, one should practice for a couple of days.

When a householder has his family preparing everything for him, and he maintains ekantik-panu or atmanivedi-panu, and his family goes out for two, five, or fifteen days, then how does he maintain atmanivedi-panu?

Because he has to do everything himself, right?

He has to make rotis and light the stove himself, and then he remembers Thakorji.

So, when there are facilities, one should practice a little like this.

What happens if it's not there?

We can do that.

For adverse circumstances.

If one has not prepared for adverse circumstances, then adverse circumstances will arise.

Then there is no way to escape from it.

Then there is no way to escape; then one is just going to be thrown away.

Once the river current came, and everyone was shouting, "Run, run, the flood is coming."

Even then, we stand there, twirl our mustaches, and then have to take a dive.

Then there's nothing left of us; then we just have to dive and go wherever it takes us.

Circumstances then take you wherever they want; if you haven't prepared in advance, the same thing happens.

Only if one has prepared in advance will there be security.

Maharaj said, and Muktanand Swami said, that just as there is strength in past samskaras in two eras, there is also strength in each and every era, and it's a 'hedge of concept'.

One's own security. What is 'hedge of concept'? It means to secure oneself.

This is Bharatbhai Savaleno's question.

Hey.

Bharatbhai Savaliya has a question.

If the circumstances are the same for everyone, and everyone is under the same circumstances, then to whom should one give their murtimurti1) 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 →, or what should one do with it?

If there are no other circumstances, then one can immerse it in the ocean.

But such circumstances don't usually happen to people.

Such circumstances arise only in extreme situations.

Otherwise, this can also be done.

When the war with Pakistan happened, we had a temple in Karachi, didn't we?

They brought the murtimurti1) 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 → with them.

So, if that's the case, one should prepare as much as their intellect and strength allow.

And if one cannot achieve it, God does not blame them.

If one has prepared and made an effort, and it still doesn't happen, then God does not blame them.

We should prepare as much as our strength allows.

That's all.

In reality, the first type of initiation is said to be of two kinds.

Commentary

This is a brief introduction to the commentary.

So, it's a commentary, isn't it?

It's a commentary.

That's finished.

That which has the quality of a mumukshumumukshuA person in search of moksh.Tap to open in glossary → (seeker of liberation) is given considering them as an adhikari (qualified person).

And the second initiation is given considering the excellence of knowledge and its conduct.

In it, the mumukshumumukshuA person in search of moksh.Tap to open in glossary → (seeker of liberation) considers that the heavenly realms and other worlds attained through meritorious deeds are perishable.

Then it is also understood that eternal blissful moksha (liberation) cannot be attained through perishable actions performed.

Then he becomes very sad and takes refuge in a good, knowledgeable guruguruA teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn.Tap to open in glossary →.

Then the compassionate Guruvarya tells him that

you have not yet attained true detachment.

You have not yet gained knowledge of the means to moksha (liberation).

Also, the true nature of the self

you have not yet gained knowledge of.

Lord Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. 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.

Therefore, meditate on Shri KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. He incarnated in the svarup of a cowherd.

Saying this, the initiation in which a general mantramantra1) A repeated word or phrase. 2) A sacred verbal phrase repeated in prayer, or meditation, such as ‘Swãminãrãyan’. Wicked people use mantras to cast evil curses.Tap to open in glossary → is given with a special intention is called the first, ordinary initiation.

When a mumukshumumukshuA person in search of moksh.Tap to open in glossary → (seeker of liberation) realizes, "I am the eternal servant of God, I have knowledge of the true nature of the self," then the guruguruA teacher. He will guide you on the path of kalyãn.Tap to open in glossary → gives the mahamantra (great mantramantra1) A repeated word or phrase. 2) A sacred verbal phrase repeated in prayer, or meditation, such as ‘Swãminãrãyan’.

But before that, the mumukshumumukshuA person in search of moksh.Tap to open in glossary → (seeker of liberation) has to offer everything to the feet of God.

And the mumukshumumukshuA person in search of moksh.Tap to open in glossary → (seeker of liberation) adhikari (qualified person) is given the mahamantra (great mantramantra1) A repeated word or phrase. 2) A sacred verbal phrase repeated in prayer, or meditation, such as ‘Swãminãrãyan’. Wicked people use mantras to cast evil curses.Tap to open in glossary →) that reveals the knowledge that "I am the servant of God, God is my everything, and I am a part of God." That is the second mahadiksha (great initiation).

That mahadiksha (great initiation) is mentioned in the Pancharatra and Bharadvaja Samhitas.

Those who receive such initiation are called Atmanivedi (one who has surrendered the self).

And that is why the word 'etvā amrīśavad' is used here.

And furthermore, in this text, the rules for devotees with the first general initiation are stated in six shlokas from 50 to 55, and after that, the special rules for the Atmanivedi (self-surrendered) devotee are stated in five shlokas, including Shailiva, from 56 to 60.

The reason for this division into general initiation and great initiation is the mantras mentioned in them, which can be known from the secret texts.

Therefore,

they are not published in this text.

Commentary

Shloka number 61.

Devotees worship the murtimurti1) 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 → of God every day.

This is just to say, what is the reason for the two initiations?

One is general initiation and the other is special initiation, great initiation.

So, the adhikari (qualified person) takes it.

How detached has one become from the world? If one has become very detached, then they are said to have the right to mahadiksha (great initiation).

If one has a little worldly desire and also love for God, then they should take general initiation.

And if there is intense longing, then they should take special initiation.

Such a right is mentioned in the scriptures, and therefore Maharaj has also established two such initiations.

One is general initiation, which means the kanthikanthiDouble-threaded necklace; usually made of tulsi beads, received by satsangis upon initiation into theTap to open in glossary → (necklace) we wear is called general initiation.

If one wears a kanthikanthiDouble-threaded necklace; usually made of tulsi beads, received by satsangis upon initiation into theTap to open in glossary → and performs puja, it is called general initiation.

If one develops more detachment, and takes initiation as a sadhu, then that is called mahadiksha (great initiation).

And mother, although the initiation of a sadhu is a binding for a self-surrendered devotee.

The meaning of a sadhu is that we have become self-surrendered.

That all this is self-surrender to God.

So the initiation of a sadhu is the initiation of self-surrender.

And the mantramantra1) A repeated word or phrase. 2) A sacred verbal phrase repeated in prayer, or meditation, such as ‘Swãminãrãyan’. Wicked people use mantras to cast evil curses.Tap to open in glossary → is also such that everything has to be offered.

Brahmaham Krishnadasosmi, I am your servant, O God.

I have nothing.

Whatever I do, I am now going to serve you.

I am going to serve Lord Swaminarayan.

So it is called Mahadiksha.

So the initiation of a sadhu is Mahadiksha and the initiation of a self-surrendered devotee, both are there.

It should be compulsory.

Yes

If this is worshipped, it is considered an offense.

Either immerse it in the sea or somewhere else.

If there is no such time, then give it to someone.

Whoever has the possibility and convenience of worship, give it to them.

But this should be done in life-threatening situations.

If you give something to someone and don't take it back, that is not the dharmadharma1) Universal law or principle that 'sustains' or 'upholds' the entire world. Righteousness, morality, religion,Tap to open in glossary → of a self-surrendered person.

If there is an upheaval and they have fled from home and are hiding somewhere.

They might have left to save their lives.

Then there is no facility to bathe, wash, worship Thakorji, or offer tulsitulsi1) Basil. Variety of plant in the mint family, native to warm regions. Its aromatic leaves have inherent healing qualities and also is often used as seasoning. Used as a fragrant offering to Bhagvãn. The wood of the plant is also used in the making beads for mãlãs and kanthis. 2) Bhagvãn made a pati-vratã named Vrundã break her pati-vratã vow.

Then, when there are circumstances to save one's life, one should do this.

If the external senses like eyes and hands have become weak, but the mental strength is good, then perform mental worship completely.

Even then, if the end time seems near, do it with love.

Mental worship should also be done completely and with love.

Only then will his self-surrender be maintained.

Even on the basis of mental worship, self-surrender is maintained in adverse circumstances.

If the external senses like eyes and hands have become weak, but the mental strength is good, then perform mental worship completely.

Even then, if the end time seems near and mental worship cannot be performed due to lack of stability, then only remember the Supreme Soul.

If there is extreme pain from illness and one does not have a witness, then mental worship cannot be performed either.

Then remember.

That is God's vow.

At the time of death, Maharaj must come to me.

God has given such a commitment to the entire satsangsatsang1) True company.

And he never breaks his commitment.

Even if this breaks, he doesn't break it.

Didn't that merchant say that this coconut is fake?

So that merchant is clever, so he says, "Maharaj, the coconut is fake and I am also fake, but if you are true, then do it now."

If you are true, then do it.

So Maharaj brought a fake coconut.

We are not wrong.

Maharaj has such a vow that if a devotee has done good in a good time to please God.

Then God never forgets, he is very noble.

There is no one as noble as God in this world.

He considers even an atom to be equal.

If he has done even an atom's worth for God, the meaning of atmanivedi is that he does it for God.

So even if he has done an atom's worth, God never forgets.

He keeps a record of it, even the smallest record.

God himself does not keep any record of what he has done for the jiva.

He doesn't even remember it.

He doesn't say that I have done so much for you, and now our accounts are clear.

He keeps a record of what we have done and preserves it.

What he has done, God forgets.

That I did this much for you.

He never even reminds them of it.

If the final moment seems near and mental worship cannot be performed due to lack of stability, then only remember the Supreme Soul.

If we lovingly contemplate on Shri PurushottamPurushottamGod. Supreme being. Bhagvãn.

If, perhaps, at the last moment, one completely loses consciousness, then God, who protects those who surrender with a vigilant mind, remembers that devotee at that time.

He takes care of him.

It is said in the Ramayana and in the Varaha Purana that 'Pashan Kashta Sannibham' (like a stone or wood).

My devotee, at the time of death, may be lying like a piece of wood or like a stone.

Then I take care of him.

He took care of me his whole life, so now I will take care of him.

But as long as there is consciousness, it is his duty to remember God.

Then, when consciousness goes beyond our control, God takes care of him.

If, perhaps, at the last moment, one completely loses consciousness, then God, who protects those who surrender with a vigilant mind, remembers that devotee at that time.

He takes care of him.

He takes care of him with a vigilant mind.

God knows that his control over him is gone, then God himself takes care that nothing happens to him.

As long as there is control, he takes care.

If, at the last moment, one completely loses consciousness, then God, who protects those who have surrendered with a vigilant mind, remembers that devotee at that time, he takes care of him.

As long as one is conscious, one should keep one's mind focused on the form of God according to one's ability.

As long as one is conscious, one should keep one's mind focused on the form of God according to one's ability.

Thus, it explains the final state.

Maharaj has explained all these situations regarding the very end of time, that if such a time of death comes, and such a situation arises, then do this.

That, what should be done with the idol of God in animation? What should be done with it if it's kept in a mobile phone?

This is its answer.

It is worthy of reverence.

It is worthy of darshandarshanSeeing. 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.

Then there is the consecrated form, the form consecrated by God.

And its photo.

Both are fine.

That works.

If Maharaj has consecrated Harikrishna Maharaj, then his photos are acceptable, and that is considered worthy of worship.

Because Acharya Maharaj cannot go to every house to consecrate or give to everyone.

And that is not possible.

Sometimes, Maharaj, you see, when it's not possible to offer vartman to everyone by climbing on a cart, he would just sprinkle water.

He offered vartman to everyone like this.

So, it's not possible for everyone; where would one go to give this murtimurti1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship.

They should not be kept, actually.

One should not let the idol of God wander here and there.

And even if they do, they should be preserved respectfully.

And if they cannot be preserved like that, then they should be immersed in water.

That's what is said.

Actually, that's the proper way to talk.

But now, printing has become very easy, and printing is done at home, so they print so many idols in bulk as products.

So, where to keep them? Even if you want to throw them in the sea, it becomes a big problem, where to go every now and then.

So, this happens.

But one should take care that they don't get trampled underfoot anywhere.

Then it is said to be preserved.

But one who performs the sacred thread ceremony and teaches the Vedas is called an Acharya.

The Acharya mentioned in this Yajnavalkya Smriti is not to be taken here.

Because there is no occasion here to speak of that Acharya.

In the Linga Purana, the word 'Acharya' is defined as:

who himself

has given the definition.

The definition of who is called an Acharya is given.

One who practices himself, establishes others in good conduct, and explains the meanings of the scriptures in the form of consistent principles.

This collects

Therefore, he is called an Acharya.

Just as Ramanujacharya, Ramanujacharya and all of them created a principle by making the meanings of these Vedas and Upanishads consistent.

So he himself practices,

makes others practice,

and if there are contradictory principles, he makes them all equal, that is, he centralizes them.

Then he is called an Acharya.

He gives such a definition of an Acharya.

In the Linga Purana, the word Acharya is defined.

So they are called Acharyas by their efforts. Ramanujacharya is said to have proven himself an Acharya through his own efforts.

Why is it said that Narendra Modi became PM because of his own status?

Helicopter landing is possible.

A helicopter can land anywhere.

If there is a lane, it needs an airport.

So, one who does not have personal status,

that is called a helicopter landing, but here, if it's a helicopter landing, it's a landing, and if it's the other, it's the other, that's what Maharaj said here.

Here, people with status don't just appear every now and then.

Suppose Maharaj established Acharyas, then not everyone can become Vihari Lalji Maharaj.

So here, they just talked about helicopter landing.

In the Linga Purana, the word Acharya is defined. In reality, sometimes there is a helicopter landing,

even then, if one has the capability, then with that capability,

he proves that place himself.

that I am worthy of this place.

For example, Vihari Lalji Maharaj was there.

He might have come to the throne through tradition.

But he performed such deeds and proved his qualification.

that in the scriptures,

the definition of Acharyas is given, doing all that, and he himself

So, if there's a helicopter landing, don't be afraid of it.

that we have already gone into this grade in helicopter landing.

So that can be done through personality.

He develops his personality.

Then he comes into personality from helicopter landing.

Like that.

Here, only the definition of Acharya is given.

Who is an Acharya?

So, he clarifies the principles.

In the Upanishads, all the principles were given haphazardly, some verses were given in some places and some in others.

But from that, what to grasp, what message to catch, people's minds would get confused.

It might be said one way in one place and another way in another place.

So there would be confusion.

From that, a clear message that this is the only meaning of this.

And in life, this should be taken as a message in this way.

If that was done, then Ramanujacharya struggled his whole life to do that.

And he himself practiced and established others in practice.

Therefore, he is considered an Acharya.

Similarly, Maharaj is considered in that way.

Ramanand Swami and all are considered in that way.

Because nothing was ever there, and to start everything new, that is, how to do new practices, all its rules and regulations were made clear.

And he himself also made the principles of the scriptures consistent.

that you should proceed according to this.

Then he is called an Acharya.

So he is said to have become an Acharya through his own personality.

It is said.

Helicopter landing is not a stigma.

But then he should prove it with his own personality.

One should develop such a personality.

And one should do such deeds that that personality is proper for that place.

If he proves that, then he is called an Acharya.

Then he is not in the position of an Acharya.

But there might be someone else, a saint, a devotee.

And for him, this 'Acharya Dattam Cha Yashcha Tena Pratishthitam' was not said for him.

For him, whatever it is, this heli

Whether it's a helicopter landing or someone with personality, who is seated on the throne here.

It was said for him.

The Acharya said, "Dattam yachchha yachchha tena pratishthitam KrishnaKrishna1) An avatãr of Bhagvãn. 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.

He said that.

If there are people with high quality, high qualifications, and others who have a lot of personality compared to them.

If he has performed the consecration according to VedicVedicFrom the Veds.Tap to open in glossary → rituals, then there is no objection to accepting it, brother.

There is no problem in accepting that murtimurti1) Sacred idol of Bhagvãn used to offer worship.

But even then, what Maharaj has said here is about those who are seated on this throne, rather than those with qualifications.

Maharaj did not say that if someone with a very good personality has done it, then it should be accepted.

That's not it.

Yes, it's not that those with good personalities are useless.

They are respectable.

But Maharaj has said this for the tradition.

This has been said for the constitution of the Sampraday.

In the Linga Purana, the word 'Acharya' is defined as one who practices himself and inspires others to do satsangsatsang1) True company.

If the consecration of God has been done in a distant country, and the Acharya Maharaj has not performed its consecration, but great saints of God have performed it, then is that form considered worthy of worship or not?

It is considered worthy of worship.

It's not very common for Acharya Maharaj to have reached everywhere in our Sampraday.

They cannot reach everywhere.

What is being said here is like that thing, you know, about the mantramantra1) A repeated word or phrase. 2) A sacred verbal phrase repeated in prayer, or meditation, such as ‘Swãminãrãyan’. Wicked people use mantras to cast evil curses.Tap to open in glossary →, 'vrutha japyam avaidikam' (useless chanting is un-VedicVedicFrom the Veds.Tap to open in glossary →).

What is to be called un-VedicVedicFrom the Veds.Tap to open in glossary →?

That which is against the Vedas.

There should be no prohibition.

If the Acharya has performed the consecration, then the Acharya should not have opposed it.

Or, those who oppose the Acharya should not have performed the consecration.

If someone has become an equal to the Acharya's position, and has qualifications, and has performed the consecration.

Then it's still not.

It is the form of God, so one should bow down.

But don't get too excited about bowing down too much.

Let's go and have darshandarshanSeeing. 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 →.

That won't happen.

The meaning of what Maharaj said about the Acharya is exactly this.

If the Acharya has performed the consecration, then that is the number one choice.

If the Acharya has not performed the consecration, and it has been done by another VedicVedicFrom the Veds.Tap to open in glossary → ritual, but the Acharya has not opposed it, saying that your consecration is wrong and so on.

Yes, okay, I can't reach there, so when I come, I will perform the aarti.

You perform the consecration and start doing bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary →.

Then his bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary → can be done.

But those people who are against the Acharya or the Acharya's position, or what Maharaj has established, and have set up something separate from it.

Then, if he has performed the consecration, one should not serve it.

Such a feeling arises, such a sentiment emerges.

But if the Acharya has not been able to reach to perform the consecration, in distant villages or abroad as you say, and they haven't been able to reach there, it's not necessary to abandon that murtimurti1) 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 →.

If it has been done there with proper rituals, consecrated with traditional rituals, then its meditation and bhajanbhajanWorship.Tap to open in glossary → can be performed.

And Maharaj coming to pick him up is its proof.

We had those Latin people, so Maharaj came to take the old woman. At the time of her death, she said that Swaminarayan Bhagwan has come to take me.

So, where would there be consecrated murtis of Acharya Maharaj there?

There would not be any consecrated murtimurti1) 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 → of Acharya Maharaj there.

So, that is its meaning.

But Acharya Maharaj did not oppose, saying that you are all apostates and you are all declared. Or sometimes Acharya Maharaj, even if they are good, would declare them as apostates.

But if the other person did not oppose, and they accept and follow Maharaj's principles.

Then that is considered an alternative to Acharya pratishtha.

There should be no opposition.

They should not be against him.

They should be his devotees.

If they do it as opponents,

Then it is not considered an objection.

One who practices himself, establishes others in good conduct, and compiles the meanings of the scriptures in the form of consistent principles, is therefore called an Acharya.

This is called the definition of Acharya.

So, according to the definition, that is a personality. The command Maharaj has given here is not a command for a personality.

He has given the command according to the tradition of the Sampraday for helicopter landing.

And even though he has given the command according to tradition, we cannot fulfill it completely, so the meaning we discussed earlier should be taken.

That they should not be opponents of the Acharya.

They should not be opponents of the Sampraday.

Vishvadarshan Swami

It's not God.

Who is speaking? Vishvadarshan Swami.

That is not God.

There should not be a divine intellect in it.

There should be a worshipful intellect.

If we worship and pray to Maharaj, then God will do our work.

He will do our welfare.

And an atheist would say, 'What can a stone do for us?'

Then that is called an atheistic intellect.

That it is a stone, what can it do for us?

So, such an intellect is called an atheist's intellect, and one should not have such an intellect.

God is there, and according to the scriptures, there should be faith in God that if one has prayed to Maharaj, then Maharaj will do our work.

Then, through whatever means someone works, it is Maharaj who does it.

Such a faithful intellect is called a divine intellect.

And the other is called an atheistic intellect.

To have an atheistic intellect is an offense against God.

God is seated in it according to the scriptures.

Then God can destroy those who commit this offense.

But there is a Shivling.

Yes, there is a Shivling.

There is a Shivling, but this is said about Shaligram.

A person who bows to the Shiva lingam and Shaligram worshipped by women,

Although women are forbidden to worship Shaligram.

Even if it is there, do not go to see it.

It is said in the scriptures that one should not even bow down.

A person who bows to the Shiva lingam and Shaligram worshipped by women, along with crores of ancestors, falls into Raurava hell for 1000 Chaturyugas.

It is said to be a very terrible sin.

There must be a reason for that, but it is said in the scriptures.
