Thakurjee
God is the Parmatma The Supersoul; from which all creation takes place and in Whom everything finally merges. We understand this SuperSoul with many different names; as The Supreme Energy, SarvShakti , The Super Consciousness, The Creative Intelligence, The Light, Formless Bramh, The Oum, The Cosmic Energy…
He is as we believe everywhere; only existing on a very higher different vibration level from us humans.
This Super Shakti, in particular time periods takes on a Physical Form and appears on our planet. The soul of this Form of the Limitless Supreme is the concentration of the SuperSoul.
He in our language is known as an Aavtar - Incarnation. According to the required purpose this Aavtar takes on certain qualities and lives His life around us.
Around 5000 years ago this Shakti manifested as a human Form as RadhaKrishna. Along with Them several higher souls also came in a human form to help complete the particular leela of Thakurjee.
Any shakti who comes to earth in a human form, enters the cycle of karma. To relieve these left over jeev atmas from their earthly karmic cycles Super Soul, Shree Radha Krishna, once again appeared as God ShreeNathji from the Govardhan hill. These entire Leelas were recorded by Gusainji’s son and Vallabhacharyaji’s grand son Shri Gokulnathji, in the two very famous documentary books; 84 Vaishnavas; 252 Vaishnav ki Varta. I call them documentary and not story; as anything which has been recorded as facts and given in the world cannot be stories; they are live experiences or history and recorded then by Gokulnathji; a part of the third generation. Facts about God and about His Live Presence is not allowed unless, it is the wish of the Super Shakti Himself to give it to us.
It is a belief in Pushti maarg that experiences with any leela of Thakurjee cannot be spread out to others. It is followed by all as Thakurjee’s Hukum (divine order). It is only His Hukum that would allow any bhakt to write and document anubhuties about the leela and play of Thakurjee. None can have the courage to write about God Shreenathji unless He, Himself wishes it to happen.
God Shreenathji’s Haveli at Nathdwara, is a Palace where He lives in His Full Form. It is His Home, and all the sewaks and the true devotees know that many with the right bhao have experienced this Divine Presence. Unlike the other several mandirs scattered all over the world; this place is very sacred, as till today the entire routine since sevaral years has been followed perfectly. Shreeji’s Presence is total so all acknowledge His living Presence as Himself in this Haveli. It is not an ordinary mandir or place of worship.
The most famous Hindu God, Shreenathji Himself lives here in the most alive Form. Darshans are not merely joining hands or offering prayers. It is more like Shreeji’s Divine court being held and all gather to pay their respects and offer sewa in whatever form. The most important ingredient required for Shreeji’s sewa, is bhao (total devotion) and shuddhi (purity); or else one can just tick the darshans as a visit to one more holy dham, without any reality being experienced.
As Hindu God ShreeNathji Himself Lives here in His Haveli Mandir; so is worshipped in a very live manner. It is assumed that He is Present at all times in His Child Form; hence Sewa is done as of ShreeKrishn in His child Form of ShreeNathji t Vrindavan dham. Unlike the other Hindu temples there is no shikhar on the top; over Shreeji’s Nij Mandir there is a roof top with the Dhajaji flying, and His Sudarshan Chakra.
The festivals and their way of celebrations is also not changed; the various type of clothes and ornaments that Shreeji wears are the same as started about 500 years ago by Shri Gusainji.
All His Bhog is prepared according to the various seasons and days. All the traditional foods; with every dry fruit, many very expensive herbs are also used depending on the seasons. Like He mentions sometimes in fun, ”Main toh bahut meetha khata hun, phir bhi mujhe diabetes nahi hota, ha, ha, ha”. (I eat a lot of sweets, yet I do not have diabetes, ha, ha, ha”). During the hot summer months He is offered water with chandan and rose; while in the winters with kesar.
The way of cooking food for Shreeji follows the traditional manner. Bhog is the most elaborate and perfect with the most pure ingredients being used. No one is allowed to watch Shreeji when He takes His meals.
Shreeji is Natkhat, so, though having stopped direct interactions; yet plays sometimes in His Mandir. There have been times when He refuses to accept certain ornaments or vastra. If He has pushed them away three times, it is assumed that Shreeji does not want this. A new pair of the same is always kept ready, which is then used for Shreeji. New Vastra are used daily for Shreeji. No clothes are repeated. There is a team of tailors who continuously stitch Shreeji’s clothes.
Unlike all other Hindu mandirs, Shreeji’s Darshans are not open continuously for the day. As Shreeji Lives here in the ‘Live Form’ of a small child, all His Darshans are regulated accordingly. From morning, when He is woken, right through till the time of going to bed, there are eight Jhankis (Darshahs) which are open to bhakts. They are called-Mangala; Shringar; Guwal; Rajbhog; Utthapan; Bhog; Aarti; Shyan.
