Vaishnav 04 -Padmanabhadas

At one time Shri Acharyaji Mahaprabhuji came to visit Padmanabhadas when he visited Kanoj. Padmanabhadas heard Shri Bhagavat Prasang from Shri Mukhe, so he knew that Aapshri Sakshat Purna Purushottam. Earlier, Padmanabhadas used to tell stories while sitting on a high Vyasasana at home and many listeners used to come to listen to the stories. So no one had to go home, and the instinct was to sit at home and walk. Padmanabhadas was doing the program accordingly. He surrendered when he saw the principal Pratap Bal. After receiving the name mantra, Shri Mahaprabhuji gave the Brahma Sambandh Mantra and surrendered. Then at the time of Uthapan, Shri Mahaprabhuji Aap Birajya was at the house of Damodardas Sambharwala and opened the book there. Damodardas was sitting, so Padmanabhadas came and sat down in prostration. Then Shri Mahaprabhuji recited the verse of the essay:

अथवा सर्वदा शास्त्रं श्रीभागवतमादरात् ।

पठनीयं प्रयत्नेन सर्वहेतुविवर्जितम् ॥ १ ॥

वृत्त्यर्थ नैव युंजीत प्राणैः कंठगतैरपि ।

तदभावे यथैव स्यात्तथा निर्वाहमाचरेत् ॥ २॥

Meaning: - Or always trying to recite Shrimad Bhagavat Shastra respectfully without any purpose (without desire) To take.

Padmanabhadasji heard this verse, and then Padmanabhadas also heard the story of Dashamaskandha. While Shri Mahaprabhuji was narrating the story, Padmanabhadas filled his finger with water and resolved in front of Shri Mahaprabhuji that “I will not be inclined to tell a story from today! Shri Mahaprabhuji said to Shri Mukh, "Your instinct is, you are a Brahmin, so to say Mahabharata etc., but not to say Shrimad Bhagavat in the sense of instinct. Padmanabhadas said now he has resolved so I will not say anything. When he said that he is a householder, how will he survive? Padmanabhadas said, Maharaj, I will bring the host from home, so I will take care of him. Padmanabhadas went to the host in the sense of home instinct, he had a lot of respect. It also occurred to Padmanabhadas that I had never begged before and now that I have become a Vaishnava, it is not right to go out to beg. Earlier it was only around the neck, so it was appropriate to beg, but now it is wearing a necklace around the neck. So begging is not right. So I decided that what I needed to do was learn how to do it right. Then again Shri Acharyaji asked how will he make a living now? Padmanabhadas said Maharaj, I will make a living by doing Vaishyavritti. Then selling ladders, bringing firewood. But in no other way did he support his father as long as he lived. Such support was Bhagavad-gita.

(Abstract) Pure gracious beings are not often called. Once heard it hurts to do it right away. If all the happiness of the world is destroyed on one side and religion is on the other side, then by adopting the religion and violating all worldly happiness is the characteristic of the highest category of Bhagavad-gita.

Story 3: At one time, the principal himself was praying. Padmanabhadas was also present then. One Pahor night had passed, at that time Padmanabhadas was ordered to bring Shri Akkaji Pele Par from here. Hearing so much, Padmanabhadas got up and started walking. There were 5-6 Vaishnavas sitting in front. That Maha Mahe started saying that Brahman Bavaro has been born? Where will you go this time The boats are all closed, and the ghats have gone home. So this time he is not going to cross, but he has faith in the command of Shri Mahaprabhuji. So the work will definitely happen. Assuming this, Padmanabhadas came to the ghat. Seeing this, a ten-year-old boy came with a boat. He asked Padmanabhadas to cross. Then Padmanabhadas said yes we will go. The boy put Padmanabhadas in a boat and crossed over and asked when will you come again? Padmanabhadas said I will come in two hours. The boy said, "I'll keep the boat. You come soon." Then Padmanabhadas went to Adele and told Shri Akkaji to follow the orders of Ki Mahaprabhuji. After disembarking, the boy and the boat did not see anything. At that time Padmanabhadasji beat Shri Akkaji and brought him home. Then Shri Mahaprabhuji ordered Padmanabhadas to stay asleep, another 5-6 Vaishnavas were sleeping where they were sleeping. Those Vaishnavism asked how did you bring Tedi? Then he told all the news to that Vaishna. Hearing that, the Vaishnavism said that this time you made Shri Thakorji work very hard. Then those Vaishnavas requested Shri Mahaprabhuji, Maharaj, and Padmanabhadas made Shri Thakorji do a lot of labour, then Shri Mahaprabhuji said that everything that has happened has happened by my will so do not say anything to Padmanabhadas. I firmly believed in the promise of Shri Mahaprabhuji and all the work was accomplished.

Story 4: At one time when Shri Mahaprabhuji was going to Adel from Shri Gokul, a trader Kshatriya was going with some goods etc. The merchant stayed in Kanoj and Shri Mahaprabhuji stayed in Kanoj. Then the thieves came upon the merchant, and he looted all the goods. Shri Acharyaji Damodardas went to Sambharwala's house, cooked there and handed over the victim to Shri Thakorji. He came and asked, where is Shri Mahaprabhuji? Padmanabhadas said he must be eating? The merchant said, "Maharaj, all our goods have been looted." And Shri Acharyajito you eat. Then Padmanabhadas thought in his mind that if Shri Mahaprabhuji hears this, he will not eat. Then Padmanabhadas took him to a lender's shop. The lender gave Padmanabhadas a warm welcome. Please tell, what's the story of them big puppys ..... Padmanabhadas said to give this amount of money to this trader and I will write the deed letter and interest of that money (as much as you say). The lender said what is the purpose of the letter? Take as much substance as you want. Padmanabhadas said first write that letter, then I will take the material. As the lender said, after your wish, Padmanabhadas wrote a letter in which he put his father in the house of religion. And taking the substance he gave to the merchant. The merchant went home with the goods, and then Padmanabhadasji also went home. Shri Acharyaji asked where did you go? Padmanabhadas said Maharaj had a job and went there. But Shri Mahaprabhuji knew immediately that God is the giver. So Padmanabhadas said what was the relationship between us and that trader? Along the way, he was left behind. So what do we do? He did a lot of wrong by giving money by debt. Padmanabhadas said, "Maharaj, it is true, but if the merchant shouted, you would be delayed for two hours. So my birth was in vain, I will pay back the debt tomorrow, what's the big deal? Shri Acharyaji said why did you write Dharma Ghranth? According to Padmanabhadas, his debt cannot be repaid without writing a strong pledge. Then Shri Acharyaji reached Adel, and Padmanabhadasji went to a king. The king was very respectful and said please tell me the story. Padmanabhadas said Raja, don't listen to "Shri Bhagavat", say Mahabharata. The king said, "Listen to the Mahabharata." Then Padmanabhadas started saying Mahabharata. The story of Padmanabhadas was so heroic that when the time came for war, all had to disarm. Yet inside the audience began to punch and kick. Thus everyone was interested in the story. A few days later, when the Mahabharata was over, the king began to give a lot of money to the south. You gave as much as you could and asked for a deed. When the king heard this, he did so. Then Padmanabhadas himself went home.

(Summary) In the preservation of religion, without seeing justice or injustice, he gave exactly the same amount of money as he had given to the merchant. Yet the main religion violated the common religion in the face of affection. Not telling the story of Purana in the sense of instinct, he told the story as much as he owed. A thousand rupees was enough to tell a story, but never for the sake of religion.

Story 2: Padmanabhadas' daughter was a virgin. She was to marry someone who was a servant of Shri Mahaprabhuji. When Padmanabhadasji started asking Vaishnavism, Vaishnavism said that a Sanodia Brahmin is a servant of Shri Mahaprabhuji. Padmanabhadas did not know about worldly affairs, so he said, even if he is a Vaishnava, let us marry our daughter there. Padmanabhadas tilaked that Vaishnava signed the marriage and came home. The eldest daughter Tulsi said your younger sister is married to a Vaishnava. Tulsi said that Sanodia is a Brahmin and we are Kanojia Brahmins. So how does marriage happen? Padmanabhadas said now what happened happened, he is a Brahmin and a Vaishnava. What happened in this country? There is also a servant of Shri Mahaprabhuji. Tulsi said to turn the engagement, Padmanabhadas said to bring a knife and cut off the thumb which has tilak, Tulsi said how to cut the thumb then Padmanabhadas said how to turn the engagement too! If the thumb is cut, the engagement goes. Then Padmanabhadas married Sanodia Brahmin. Nothing happened to the caste. Padmanabhadas had so much faith in Vaishnavism and Vaishnavism that engagement did not change.

Story 3: A Kshatrani Padmanabhadas used to come home regularly. Betty Tulsi of Padmanabhadas asked the Kshatrani the reason for coming regularly. That Kshatriya said your father is a great man, great Bhagavad-Geeta, so I am coming, because I do not have offspring, so you make my request to Padmanabhadas to show me some remedy. One day, Tulsi said to Padmanabhadas, "Father, this Kshatriya does not have offspring, so I request you to show me some remedy." Padmanabhadas asked Tulsi to bring water. Then Padmanabhadas took water and mixed it with Charanodak and gave it to Kshatrani and told him to drink water. So the son will be obtained. You should name him Mathuradas. Then he had a son.

Story 4: Once the elder Ramdasji sent his servant Shri Thakorji to Padmanabhadas and started serving Shri Nathji. And became intimidated by Shri Nathji. So Padmanabhadas began to serve his Shri Thakorji. A few days later the Mughal army arrived. The village was looted, and the house of Padmanabhadas was also looted, which a Mughal took Shri Thakorji. Padmanabhadas told his daughter Tulsi to stay at home and I will go. I will come if I get Shri Thakorji. Saying this, they followed the Mughals. Stayed with the mogul for seven days. Didn't even have a snack. Then on the eighth day, Moglani told that mogul. This Brahmin has given up food and water for seven days. If he dies, you will be killed. So give it to his god. Then the Mughals gave Shri Thakorji to Padmanabhadas. Taking it, Padmanabhadas himself came home. Then he told Tulsi to cook. Then he took a bath himself and gave a panchamrut bath to Shri Thakorji. Embroidered and decorated. Then the victim surrendered. According to the time, after offering sacrifices, following Shri Thakorji and giving Maha Prasad to Vaishnavism, he took Maha Prasad himself. From the day when Ramdas came to know that Shri Thakorji was handed over to the Mughals from Kanoja, Ramdas also did not take mahaprasad for seven days. But he was serving Srinathji with caution, yet he was very sorry in his mind. Padmanabhadas knew this while sitting at home, so Shri Giriraj came to see Shri Nathji and to meet Ramdas. After seeing Shri Nathji, he met Ramdasji. Padmanabhadas said, "You hit Shri Thakorji on my head, so I got hurt, that's fine, but why didn't you take Mahaprasad for seven days?" Ramdasji said, "You are right, but I have served for many days, so we need such a relationship!" Then Padmanabhadas stayed there for some days, said goodbye to Srinathji and Ramdasji and came home to Kanoj.

(Essence) The body, mind, wealth or soul of Vaishnavism is the form of their beloved Sevya Shri Thakorji, more beloved than their beloved. If God who has more affection than prana is gone, then how can prana survive? Everything goes, but go to the Lord, that is the wish of pure Vaishnavism. Shri Gusainji's Saptamalalji Shri Ghanshyamlalji whose servant Shri Thakorji Shri Madan Mohanji (who is currently in Kamvan) was robbed for some reason, he was kept in the basement for 3 days! Abandoned food and water! And abandoned the body in the state of great dissonance; This is called extraordinary love for the Sevaya form.

Story 4: Once Padmanabhadasji was coming to Adele with his servant Shri Thakorji Shri Mathuranathji and the whole family. Dedication by frying chickpeas as there is a lot of shyness of matter. He kept the chickpeas very wet by weaving them. The next day, after frying well, go to Shri Thakorji and serve a handful of all the ingredients. Fill a handful and say that this is dal, fill as many handfuls of vegetables as there are names. Shri Thakorji accepted with great pleasure. Then a Vaishnava Padmanabhadas told Shri Mahaprabhuji that Chhola is accepted like this. So one day Shri Mahaprabhuji visited Padmanabhadas at the time of dedication. Shri Mahaprabhuji fell on the seat and surrendered himself as he always did. Seeing the victim being healed, Shri Mahaprabhuji asked, "What is this heap?" Padmanabhadas said this is kheer, this is rice, this is dal, this is roti. Shri Mahaprabhuji's heart was filled knowing that he does this due to the contraction of matter. Then Shri Mahaprabhuji went home and told Illamagaruji that we should send Padmanabhadas daily cooking utensils from there. The next day Illamagaruji sent the material himself directly from there. Padmanabhadas was told by his daughter Tulsi that today Shri Mahaprabhuji got the material directly from there. Padmanabhadas said, "Now we have an opportunity to get out of here. Then Padmanabhadas arranged the expenses for four days and asked Srithakorji, if you have a mind to visit Shri Mahaprabhuji, there are many kinds of materials ready. Shri Thakorji said, "I think it is yours." I am very happy for you so you will not hesitate in any way. Then Padmanabhadas rented a boat and hit Shri Mathuranathji. He also put his whole family in the boat and came to say goodbye to Shri Mahaprabhuji. Two or four days' worth of material which had come from the temple was returned to the temple and they worshipped Shri Mahaprabhuji. And said Maharaj I am going. Shri Mahaprabhuji asked where is Shri Thakorji? Padmanabhadas said, "Maharaj, Shri Thakorji has been put in the boat, and I have come to see you and to bid you farewell; after much hesitation, Shri Mahaprabhuji bid farewell to Padmanabhadas. Then Bhandari came and said, Shri. He was the servant of Padmanabhadas Shri Mahaprabhuji.

The story of Tulsi, the daughter of Pahmanabhadas

Story 1: At one point a Vaishnava (servant of Shri Mahaprabhuji) came home to Tulsi. After seeing Shri Thakorji, Rajbhog was ready. So Tulsi told Vaishnava to get up, take a bath and take mahaprasad, and Vaishnava said I will go home and take a bath. At that time Tulsi did not say anything and remained silent. Then the Vaishnava woke up and went home on his own. Tulsi's mind was very sorry that alas! I was hungry for Vaishnavism from home. But it came to my mind that he may not have taken Sukhadi Mahaprasad due to caste practices, but tomorrow morning I will take him Mahaprasad like Ansakhadi Puri etc. Thinking like this, he kept his stomach full at night and then went to sleep. At night, Shri Thakorji of Padmanabhadas said in a dream that if a Vaishnava does not take Mahaprasad home tomorrow, he should take it here. In the morning, Tulsi got up, took a bath and finished. Then I woke up Shri Thakorji and started serving him. That is why Vaishnavism came early in the morning. At night, Shri Mathuranathji said in a dream, why didn't Tulsi take Mahaprasad home tomorrow? Now today must take mahaprasad. So he sat and watched Vaishnava Shri Thakorji. At that time Tulsi Shri Thakorji came out with dedication. And Vaishnavism said get up, take a bath, remember. That Vaishnava said very well. Then he took a bath, did Tilak Mudra and remembered the name of Shri Thakorji, then became a victim. Tulsi followed Shri Thakorji and came out. He offered Mahaprasad to Vaishnavas like Ansakhadi, Puri, Sandhano etc. and said take Mahaprasad, then Vaishnava said, Then Tulsi said don't hesitate, this is a caste transaction. Before that Vaishnavism said that caste practice had come to his mind but now it has become Bhagavad-gઞt તેથી so I will take Sakhadi mahaprasad.

Story 2: At one point, Tulsi visited Shri Gusainji's house. Tulsi served very well, so you are happy. After the meal, he happily shared the Bhagavad-gita with Tulsi and said that "Pahmanabhadaski's offspring should be like this" Then I asked Tulsi, does Shri Thakorji show sympathy to you? Tulsi said Maharaj, I eat with a full stomach. And sleep all night long. And if possible, I recite the scriptures of Shri Mahaprabhuji. Experience in it? Shri Gusainji was very pleased to hear this and waited from there. This Tulsi was such a most gracious Bhagavad-gita of Shri Mahaprabhuji. Shri Gusainji was always happy about Tulsi.

(Abstract) The big ones do not express their greatness. Despite expressing sympathy, Tulsi described his faults as the same as Tulsi. How much love comes out of the first occasion to give Mahaprasad to Vaishnavism.

The story of Pahmanabhadas' youngest daughter

The groom of Padmanabhadasji's youngest daughter was a very good Vaishnava. The Vaishnavas who were going to Adel to pay obeisance to Shri Mahaprabhuji, when he came down to Padmanabhadasji's house, served the Vaishnavism with the love of his youngest daughter-in-law, reconciled. He (the bridegroom of the youngest daughter) was a Vaishnava who would take the Vaishnava who came to Besadi Padmanabhadasji's house and bid farewell to Besadi Adel in a boat from Kanoja. Once it occurred to Padmanabhadas that Shri Thakorji does not keep his youngest daughter at home, so how could he be a victim? (Will he be taking food prasad?) The daughter who suddenly went there after seeing this thought has seen Shri Thakorji as a victim, Tarot has come. Padmanabhadas asked son! What time is it Betty said if you have time, I will take care of you and fill my stomach? When he opened the terro and darshan, he saw that his own Sevya Thakorji, Shri Mathureshji, was healing the victim. Where did such grace come from? Betty pleaded that the first is your grace, the second is the service of Vaishnavism, Shri Thakorji Bhali Buri from Tahel. At that time Padmanabhadas took four gras prasad from that mahaprasad at Betty's house, said you are blessed, Betty! I knew that Tulsi has more grace but you are more than that. Look! If he lives in the service of Harijan (Vaishnava) then Shri Thakorji also lives under his control. Ever since Padmanabhadasji used to come to her house, this little girl was Param Vaishnava. (Bhavsindhu)

(Summary) The Lord is pleased with the service of Vaishnavism. Therefore Vaishnavism must patrol to get God's grace. That is to make the Vaishnavas welcome home and to make them happy by doing whatever they can with a humble heart.

The story of Vahu Parvati, the son of Pahmanabhadas

This Parvati served Shri Thakorji very well. Purushottamdas Mehra Vaishnavas knew Parvati well as Bhagavad-gita, so when he came to Kenoj, he used to visit Parvati at home. A few days later, Parvati's hands and feet turned white from the code. Therefore, it would be very disgusting to accomplish and touch the content of Shri Thakorji. Then Purushottamdas wrote a letter to Mehra requesting Shri Gusainji for me that this condition of my body has occurred. So much more than service and content. When this letter reached Purushottamdas Mehra, he read it with a seal in front of Shri Gusainji. Shri Gusainji ordered to write a letter to Purushottamdas Mehra to serve happily. Don't feel bad about anything. With the grace of Shri Thakorji, your disease will go away in a few days. Purushottamdas Mehra wrote a letter to Parvati at the behest of Shri Gusainji. In it, Srimukh's Vachanamurti was sent. From the time Parvati received the letter, she started serving with great pleasure at the behest of Shri Gusainji. Her hands and feet got better after 2-3 months of service, so she started serving with great happiness and wrote a letter to Shri Gusainji saying that I am better with your glory. Shri Gusainji was very pleased to read that letter. Parvati was such a Bhagavad-gita that she walked according to the Lord's command. So Shri Gusainji was always happy about it.

(Abstract) With the firm belief in the promise of Shri Gusainji, the great disease like code also retired. Although Bhagavad-gita should not be worried about such a disease, it was Parvati who became anxious because she was a devotee of Bhagavat Seva.

Grandson of Pahmanabhadas - The story of Raghunathdas, son of Parvati

This Raghunathdas came to Benaras after studying many scriptures. Then Shri Gusainji used to do grace on him with the ear of Motao (Padmanabhadas). Listening to the story told by Radhunathdas. One day Parmanand Soni asked, what story did Shri Gusainji tell when you have become a learned Pandit. Raghunathdas said, "I do not understand what you are saying." He also does not know the system of Srimahaprabhuji. Parmanandadas Soni said to Shri Gusainji, Maharaj, Raghunathdas does not understand any story, nor does he know the system of Shri Mahaprabhuji. After that, Shri Gusainji graciously taught Raghunathdas two or four scriptures and explained the system of the path. Then Raghunathdas began to understand everything and became a great Pandit. After leaving for a few days, Kanoj returned home. He told his mother Parvati that he would cook nyari and serve Shri Thakorji. Do as Parvati said. Then he would cook differently. His mother Parvati used to fetch water, wash the dishes, and do all the preaching of Shri Thakorji's service. After 3-4 days, Parvati's Sevya Srithakorji said, "Eating roti alone bites my throat." You do the lentils! Parvati said Maharaj, are you eating vegetables? Shri Thakorji said, "I am eating the bread you have made." After that, he started doing everything of daily dal, rice, and vegetable salo. Parvati was such a benefactor who made Srithakorji so happy. The whole story happened to the family of Padmanabhadas. He was such a gracious Bhagavad-gita of Padmanabhadas Shri Mahaprabhuji.

(Summary) No matter how many scriptures are studied and become a Pandit, without the grace of Shri Gurudev, one does not get the knowledge of Bhakti Margiya Granth. As a descendant of Padmanabhadas, the grace of Shri Gusainji descended on Raghunathdas and he became a great Bhagavad-gita.
