<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>-gudharthprakashan-parayan<br />

(7 th name)<br />

• The basis of Phustimargiya is <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong>.<br />

•<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is fundamental to our<br />

margh<br />

•<strong>Shree</strong> Gusaiji in reciting the 7 th name of<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji highlights this.


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>-gudharthprakashan-parayan<br />

(7 th name)<br />

• I first bow down to <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji<br />

who has through <strong>Shree</strong> Subodhiniji and<br />

various other Granths enlightened us on<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

•Literal meaning of the words helps in<br />

basic understanding


- gudharth-prakashan-parayan<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Gusaji in expressing <strong>Shree</strong><br />

Mahaprabhuji’s 7 th name refers to<br />

‘gudharth’.<br />

• this is because many Pundits have<br />

commented on <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> and<br />

• So they would have highlighted<br />

Pustimargiya i.e. prakashan-parayan but<br />

this <strong>Shree</strong> Gusaiji says needs to be<br />

distinguished.


<strong>Shree</strong> Gusaji says needs to be<br />

distinguished as it is<br />

- gudharth-prakashan-parayan<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Gusaji says <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji<br />

has enlightened us on the deep / mystic<br />

meaning<br />

• hidden in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> which other<br />

Pundit’s have not been gifted in<br />

developing and that the entitlement is that<br />

of only <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> promulgates M<strong>uk</strong>ti<br />

• Moksha in Sanskrit means liberation or m<strong>uk</strong>ti<br />

• M<strong>uk</strong>ti in Sanskrit means release —both from<br />

the root "to let loose, let go“<br />

• It is the final extrication of the soul or<br />

consciousness (purusha) from samsara and<br />

the bringing to an end of all the suffering<br />

involved in being subject to the cycle of<br />

repeated death and rebirth (reincarnation).


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> promulgates M<strong>uk</strong>ti<br />

• Pushtimargiya defines the benefit of <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong> as TO BE ONE WITH SHREE<br />

KRISHNA. It was explained by <strong>Shree</strong><br />

Rasiyabava that as sugar becomes one<br />

with milk and cannot be separated,<br />

• that to be tied with PURNAPURSHOTAM<br />

• This is linked with what <strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>devji<br />

states


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> promulgates<br />

Samarpan over M<strong>uk</strong>ti<br />

• Sarnagati is the message and<br />

• Chatursolki refers to four Pursarthas<br />

• Dharma Artha, Kam, moksha<br />

• M<strong>uk</strong>ti over all the four above is<br />

• Dharma was for a cause then it is<br />

Adharma so never follow Bhakti as a<br />

Dharma


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> promulgates<br />

Samarpan over M<strong>uk</strong>ti<br />

• Then what is the fruit over the four<br />

purusharthas<br />

• It is Sharnagati<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> gived m<strong>uk</strong>ti to Moksha


<strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>devji explains in his<br />

imperishable language<br />

• The basis goes back to amrut vaani of<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>devji<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is a bountiful source, like a<br />

wishing tree, that allows you to be<br />

submerged in the BAGHWAD-LILA<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>devji addresses: you souls of<br />

the earth will BE ONE in the BAGHWAD-<br />

LILA as you digest the verses of <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong>


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is a bountiful source,<br />

like a wishing tree, that allows you to<br />

be submerged in the BAGHWAD<br />

LILA<br />

• By reciting the nectar words in <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong> you gain the boon of Pustimargiya<br />

in the enhanced form (suddh<br />

Pushtimargiya)<br />

• Then to perform Bhakti you yield the fruits<br />

– to be one with PURNAPURSHOTAM


Bhakti-yoga in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is<br />

referred in various context<br />

• Bhakti-yoga is devoted attachment<br />

• Bhakti-yoga is loving devotion<br />

• Nevertheless it is not explained precisely<br />

• Laya / m<strong>uk</strong>ti / to be liberated seems to be<br />

part only of the fruit,


Bhakti-yoga in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> has<br />

the boon of Pustimargiya<br />

• Indeed use of the word Alaya in <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong> elevates the boon of <strong>Shree</strong><br />

<strong>Bhagvat</strong> to Pustimargiya in the enhanced<br />

form (suddh Pushtimargiya)<br />

• And that the ability to gift this insight to us<br />

is out of entitlement that is of only <strong>Shree</strong><br />

Mahaprabhuji


To attain Pustimargiya is far is<br />

above the atainmaint of M<strong>uk</strong>ti!<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> Gokulnathji explains:<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is akin to <strong>Shree</strong><br />

Thakorji’s dwelling in heaven but this is<br />

not the relationship Pundits have<br />

expressed and that<br />

• Pushtimargiya is based on this backbone<br />

• So why is it that other Pundits have not<br />

developed this


<strong>Shree</strong> Gokulnathji clarifies why<br />

Pundits did not pick this up:<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Gokulnathji Pushtimargiya is<br />

based on both <strong>Shree</strong> Madh <strong>Bhagvat</strong> and<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> Gita as forms of Lord<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> Krishna in heaven and this had<br />

not been developed by Pundits but..<br />

• Who better can understand these forms<br />

than <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji, the<br />

M<strong>uk</strong>harvind svaroop of the Lord<br />

himself!


<strong>Shree</strong> Gokulnathji further<br />

clarifies..<br />

• Various knowledgeable people have<br />

recognised svaroop of god as a universal<br />

sprit / formless, full of energy / glorious,<br />

• many have also experienced this also but<br />

• Pragatiya of <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji, the<br />

M<strong>uk</strong>harvind svaroop of the Lord<br />

himself states the boon of <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

is Pustimargiya and that is BHAKTI<br />

MARGIYA


Hence <strong>Shree</strong> Gusaji gave the<br />

name<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>-gudharth-prakashanparayan


<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>-gudharth<br />

• Earlier we referred to Ghudartha as having<br />

a hidden/mystic meaning<br />

• In spritual sense <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>-gudharth<br />

means emotion/sentiments/ nectar of love<br />

for Gopis, cowherdessess<br />

• The foundation of Pushtimargiya<br />

promulgated by <strong>Shree</strong> MahaPrabhuji is<br />

Gopi bhav


Corner stone of <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is<br />

prem laxana bhakti<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> promotes various<br />

disciplines including bhakti, gyana, karma,<br />

sakhya, yoga, Aadi<br />

• Out of all these bhakti <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabhuji<br />

states premlaxana bhakti (loving devotion)<br />

is most loving<br />

• It is enjoyment of this loving devotion as<br />

what <strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>hdevji recommends to the<br />

earthly souls in <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong>


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha and <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong> is valued more than own life, and<br />

it is the gold mine of Vaishnavs.<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha from his own experience sees<br />

the 10 Lilas in <strong>Shree</strong>Nathji’s Svaroop and hence<br />

always had Shrimadh <strong>Bhagvat</strong> with him<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha explains that what <strong>Shree</strong> Vyasji<br />

himself experienced in his Samadhi is what he<br />

has written and this may not appear straight<br />

forward


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha and <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

• As the verses require time understading and to<br />

reflect it is likely the meaning is misunderstood<br />

or not understood.<br />

• The scriptures refers to just two situations:<br />

• the naïve question of <strong>Shree</strong> S<strong>uk</strong>hdevji about<br />

Gopis attainment of <strong>Shree</strong> Krishna’s love and<br />

similarly <strong>Shree</strong> Odhavji who was so learned and<br />

tried to consol the Gopis feelings and<br />

attachment about <strong>Shree</strong> Krishna


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha and <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha is well versed with Gopi’s<br />

pure love expressed in Shrimad <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

and hence titled ‘Gopika Prokta<br />

Guruvah:’ and the Guru of Pustimargiya<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabh’s presence on earth was<br />

just to explain the gudh meaning of<br />

Prabhu’s svroop<br />

• The creation of <strong>Shree</strong> Shubodhiniji was to<br />

unveil Prabhu’s gudh svaroop


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha’s purpose was to<br />

unveil Prabhu’s gudh svaroop<br />

• We will learn various times <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha<br />

has toiled over this sole mission<br />

• The 84 Betaks are defined as the holi<br />

places where <strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha did Parayan<br />

of <strong>Shree</strong>madh <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

• Even when <strong>Shree</strong> Krishna wanted <strong>Shree</strong><br />

Mahaprabhuji to reunite in haven twice<br />

<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha had delayed this as the<br />

cause had not been completed


http://www.srimadbhagavatam.<strong>org</strong>/<br />

• S'rîmad Bhâgavatam (or the Bhâgavata Purâna)<br />

is the most important sacred book of stories of<br />

India. India knows many purânas or storybooks,<br />

but this collection of stories is generally<br />

accepted as being the most complete and<br />

important. The book, arranged in twelve socalled<br />

cantos, comprises 335 chapters with<br />

about 18000 verses. Truly a Bible thus. It is this<br />

collection of stories which stresses the prime<br />

importance of the maintaining aspect of God<br />

personified by the transcendental form of Lord<br />

Vishnu


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha’s purpose was to<br />

unveil Prabhu’s gudh svaroop<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Krishna’s wishes to reunite and<br />

eternal peace delayed with the sole<br />

objective of completing with total<br />

satisfaction the task of unveiling Prabhu’s<br />

gudh svaroop


<strong>Shree</strong> Vallabha’s purpose was to<br />

unveil Prabhu’s gudh svaroop<br />

• <strong>Shree</strong> Mahaprabuji’s two objectives:<br />

• To unveil the Gudh bhav of <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Bhagvat</strong><br />

and<br />

• To liberate the souls on earth and to unite<br />

the ‘devi’ jivas <strong>Shree</strong> Krishna<br />

• I HUMBLY BOW DOWN TO SHREE<br />

VALLABH

• The writer of this book is named Krishna Dvaipâyana<br />

Vyâsadeva, also called Bâdarâyana.<br />

• Vyâsa was a grandfather of the Kuru-dynasty. He lived a<br />

very long time. His long duration of life enabled him to<br />

write the story of the Fortunate One and all the other<br />

books. He had a son called S'<strong>uk</strong>adeva who handed the<br />

message of this Bible down to another member of the<br />

family, Emperor Parîkchit, who had difficulty respecting<br />

the classical wisdom. This emperor is there as a model<br />

for us normal people who seek their stability in the<br />

wisdom. This knowledge was conveyed by S'<strong>uk</strong>a in<br />

disciplic succession (paramparâ), to those who teach<br />

by example (the âcâryas), the science of devotional<br />

service (bhakti).


From Wikipedia, the free<br />

encyclopedia<br />

• The Bhagavad Gita, also referred to as Gita, is a 700–verse Hindu<br />

scripture that is part of the ancient Sanskrit epic Mahabharata. This<br />

scripture contains a conversation between pandava prince Arjuna and his<br />

guide Krishna on a variety of philosophical issues.<br />

• Faced with a fratricidal war, a despondent Arjuna turns to his charioteer<br />

Krishna for counsel on the battlefield. Krishna, through the course of the<br />

Gita, imparts to Arjuna wisdom, the path to devotion, and the doctrine of<br />

selfless action.1 The Gita upholds the essence and the philosophical<br />

tradition of the Upanishads.2 However, unlike the rigorous monism of the<br />

Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita also integrates dualism and theism.<br />

• Numerous commentaries have been written on the Bhagavad Gita with<br />

widely differing views on the essentials, beginning with Adi Sankara's<br />

commentary on the Gita in the eighth century CE. Commentators see the<br />

setting of the Gita in a battlefield as an allegory for the ethical and moral<br />

struggles of the human life. The Bhagavad Gita's call for selfless action<br />

inspired many leaders of the Indian independence movement including<br />

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who referred to the Gita as his "spiritual<br />

dictionary".
