Reply to Imp n very beautiful question by a gr8 Krishna lover n my sweety Aishu!👏
so here goes my reply
dear all those who love Krishna with their heart n soul r close to Mahaprabhuji coz he's Krishna himself right ...bt den also Mahaprabhuji has naratted four such great barriors which hinder jewa aatma to be closer to him/Lord Krishna..
these four barriors r
1.Leave Asadalaap- It means speaking ill of someone...those who love Mahaprabhuji n those who wanna be close to Krishna should never speak harsh words knowingly...or with an intention..which can hurt somebody...if u speak it unknowingly den say sorry to d one...to whom u've hurted wth ur words..
2.Leave Dusang- It means bad company...Dear, company matters alot...coz it can change a person alooot...it can transform a demon into a sage n vice-versa..so always be in a good company...leave those frnds n ppl whom u know dat they dont love ur Krishna...or they do bad things...leave dem..! Stay with such ppl who love ur lord who understand ur path of love...who can recite the lilas of the lord wth ya!
3.Leave Asamarpit- Asamarpit refers to those things which cannot be offered to our cute little baby lord Krishna..like non-veg, wine...onion, garlic..etc... etc all those things u know which r tamasic or the food of demons...coz pushtimarg does not permit jeew hinsa...it is a marga of mercy..so why to include such items in our food..? Like a pativrata like our Seeta ji ate only those food which his Rama cud eat eg Kandamool during vanvaas kal...in d same way by Brahmasambandh u marry Krishna..n how can u eat a thing which ur hubby cant eat..
or if u dont see him as ur hubby, u see him as ur parents, ur brother, ur frnd..den too a good relative always avoids the food which his near n dear one cant eat😊
4.Leave Anyashray-Last but not the least...the very main or prominent thing which will make u a true true love of krishna..is Anyashray ka tyaag..i.e surrender urself only to Krishna...if U love Krishna den u wudnt like to surrender urslef in front of any1 else..like is the feeling of Brajgopikas..when Uddhavji explained dem dat why worship dis sakaar Krishna worship nirakaar lord...Gopikaas say 'Brahma ki araadhna ko dusro kahaan te laave ek man paayo wo to saanwre pe haare hain' so if u wanna get closer to him den just worship Krishna n every other diety every other good saints will be automatically worshipped...like u know every river ultimately flows into the ocean..so why not worship the ocea directly instead of worshipping n surrendering ur soul @ every doorstep? Many ppl misunderstand dis...n those who dont have love for the lord may contradict this statement of Mahaprabhuji who is Krishna himself...bt what to say of those ppl..we should just pitty on dem, bt not disrespect dem..
U can get clear with dis main principle of anyaashray by..a lill example..as I told before also dat Brahmasambandh is ur marriage with Krishna..n after marraige would u like to love any1 else except ur husband? Secondly if u dont treat him as ur hubby den okay..u treat him as ur parents...coz u know for being closer withsome 1 u have to establish a relation with him right? So let him be ur parent okay...den he's ur alaukik mom dad...n we know dear dat mom-dad r only one though we love n respect others too bt we dont call dem mom dad.. do we?😆 If u treat him as ur best of Best frnd...den no1 can say dat every1 is ur best frnd...there r some ppl who care for u whoc think of u n they love u...n it is ur soul which excepts him as ur best frnd...this principle is not contradicting any religion or something like dat...it just tells u to surrender ur soul...only to lord Krishna...coz everything is in him..😊dis does not mean dat u'll disrespect other paths of gos..u ought not do dat according to pushtimarga...u can love Krishna n surrender only to himself n respect others simultaneously...bt coz u've only one heart so..its ur choice whom u wanna offer it...offereing it to Krishna will be acceptable by all the dieties of the world...😊 coz ever1 love him...such is the majesty of our Krishna!😃
Hope u got all these points dear..so apply dem n be close to the lord n Jagadguru ShrimadVallabhacharyaji!
After having the divine darshan and hearing the command of giving Brahmasambandh from the very beautiful and cute ShriKrishna, Mahaprabhuji was overjoyed with the rasa of bhakti, love, the gopika bhaav for ShriKrishna!
Mahaprabhuji offered mishri, pavitra(a sacred colorful thread) and uparna (a stoll)
Guys just feel the beautiful veiw...Mahaprabhuji sang Madhurashtak...in Krishna's praise
[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJuHwgw9aSU[/YOUTUBE]
Then Krishna moved to his own abode. Then Mahaprabhuji asked Damodarsadji-'O Damla did you hear something?' Damodardasji replied- 'O Lord, I heard the sweet words of the lord but I didnt get it). Mahaprabhuji said with love 'O Damla, Shri Krishna has commanded me to give Brahmasambandh to the worldly people, then only their 'doshas' sins will vanish and Krishna will accpet them with love as his soul mates.
Mahaprabhuji has described this divine incident in one more stotra written by him 'Siddhantrahasya' in which he has describned that as we surrender ourselves, our soul our everything to Lord Krishna, then all the sins of the souls get washed off. There are five types of doshas or sins that are described in our Hindu Shashtras,
1.Sahaj dosh- Those doshas which are with the creature when he's born.
2.Deshdosh- Sins that get develpoed in creatures, by taking birth in a country where all the sins, violence, with no reason, terrorism, and other sins are done by people. And if we do our Pooja or pure form of worships at such sinful places or in any impure state, then our worship becomes impure...like you remember the incident of Vishwamitraji's yagya being disturbed by sinfl demons again and again.
3.Kaal dosh- Doing some other deed at time of doing some other deed. Eg. while worshipping we think or do some other deed...
4.Sanyogjanya dosh- Which develop in creatures when they make their relation with people with whom their senses/soul dont allow, or if they eat the things which are not to be eaten/drunk by humans, or they create in them some feelings which are inhuman or maryaada heen.
5.Sparshjanya dosh- Doshas described in our shashtras which are creted by touching the sinful people who are inhuman..like you remember Seetaji says that by being with Ravan, or by giving boon to such a sinful demon even the dieties who gave him boon, their power get impure! So whats the existence of normal creatures like us...if we be or help such sinful creature in fulfilling his bad intention!
After having Brahmasambandh all these sins, or the sinner himself gets rid of all such sins as his soul relates to Lord Krishna now!
So guys we can see that how great is the importance of Brhamasambandh and how great is ShriVallabhacharyaji whi initiated it and great off course is our Krishna who inspired him to do so!😊
Jai Shri Krishna
we saw dat some doshas/sins come to us knowingly and some unknowingly...and without surrendering ourselves to Shri Krishna, we cannot get rid of such doshas. So we should offer everything which we use, we eat, we wear, to Krishna. Then off course e know that what we offer should be free from impure/tamasik things like onion, garlic, non-veg,soft/hard-drinks etc etc..and all that which are not apt to eat as per our Shashtras. If we use the eatables, and other consumable goods before offering to God and after consuming it, we offer it then the things become impure and not acceptable by Lord..while this is to be noted that if ur feeling for the Lord is true, then he will also eat ur 'joothe bers' bt then also, our practice should be to offer only pure things to the Lord..coz in Pushtimarga Krishna is treated as a cute and sweet child, and we dont offer children after you consume it, mommies eat after his beloved child eats, in the same way you must eat after your beloved Krishna eats!
Eevn during various social ceremonies like marriages, birth, etc first offer the food/clothes/ornaments to the Lord and then consume it for yourselves, your relatives and your society..then all the things around you will be Krishnamay!
Isnt it a wonderful thought propunded by ShriMahaprabnhuji through Pushtimarga?
It is to be noted that in Pooja Paddhati or Krmakaand where just preachings of Shashtra prevails, it is said that once we give the Lord, it cvannot be used for ourselves, like if you gave some cothes to Krishna, you can't use it for you, if you prepared something some sacrament/prasaad for him then you cant use it, BUT THIS SIDDHANT DOES NOT APPLIES TO OUR PUSHTI BHATI MARGA!
Here what is urs belongs to Krishna, yours is nothing!! We are mere maids to the Lord! Like, a servant uses the things given by his Lord to him, in the same way we can also use the thing, which we offer Krishna, this principle is so different from Karmakand, but its fair in the path of love-PUSHTIMARGA!
In Siddhant Rahasya- Mahaprabhuji explains that like all the impurities get washed aways after merging in Shri Ganga ji, in the same way all the sins of creature and his belongings also gets washed off after attaining Brahmasambandh!
Here I'm posting Siddhant rahasyam, written by Shri Mahaprabhuji!
SiddhantRahasya
Shraavanasyamale pakshe Ekaadashyaam mahanishi
Saakshaat Bhagwata proktam tadaksharshah ucchyate.1
In the midnight of Shraawan month's ekaadashi, what ShriKrishna told be I(ShriVallabhacharya) tell you here, word to word.
Now what Krishna told Mahaprabhuji is written here:
Brahmasambandh Karnat sarveshaam dehjeevayoh.
Sarvadoshanirvrittirhi doshah panchvidhah smritah.2
After attaining Brahmasambandh the doshas, sins which are to be assumed of 5 kinds in our Shashtras get washed off and the soul become free from all the sins!
Sahaja deshkaalotthah lok ved nirupitah.
Sanyogjah sparshjah na mantavyah kathamchana.3
Vedas, and scriptures say that doshas arising sahaj roop, from time being(kaal roop) coincidently(Sayong roop) and from touching people, not pure from body, heart and soul..(that I have already explained you in the prevous post). These doshas are notable according to Vedas.
Anyatha sarvadoshanaam na nivrittihi kathamchana
asarpit vastunaam tasmaadvarjanamaacharet.4
Without having Brahmasambandh, creatures cant gt rid off such doshas. Hence, Brahasambandh/aatmanivedan-surrendering our souls to Krishna is utmist responsibility of creature. Leave all those things which can't be offered to the Lord!
Nivedibhihi samarpyaiva sarwam kuryaditi stithihi.
Na matam deva devasya saamibhuktam samarpanam.5
Those who have got Brahmasambandh, should do all their actions after dedicating it to the Lord. Such is the maryaada of Bhakti Marga. Saamibhukt means the thing which is half used, half pure (impure) is not apt for the Lord and hence must not be offered.
Tasmaadaadau sarwa kaarye sarwa vastu samarpanam.
dattapahaarvachanam tatha cha sakalam hareh.6
Hence before doing any work, offer the things to the Lord. Dattapahaarvachanam(Not Using the offered thing) belongs to the principle of other marga (pooja/Karmakaand paddhatti) It does not apply to the path of love, according to the principle of Bhaktimarga, everything belongs to Shri Hari, hence after offering your things to the Lord, it can be used.
Na graahyamiti vaakyam hi bhinna marga param matam.
Sewakaanam yatha loke vyavahaarh prasiddhyati.7
Tatha karyam samarpyeiva sarwesham bhrahmataa tatah.7.5
Not using the thing once offered to the Lord belongs to the principle of other Marga, not Pushtimarga. In the world, offer everything to the Lord forst and to worldly practices in usual manner surrendering everything to the Lord, because by doing this everything attains Brahmataa(Godliness).
Gangaatwam sarva doshaanam gun doshaadivarnana
Gagatvena nirupya syaattadwad datrapi chaiv hi.8
Like all the impure things merge in Gangaji and become Gangamaya and becomes pure and after merger is worshipped as ONE FORM.i.e Ganga! Understand this fact while doing Aatmanivedan..that your soul is free from all doshas. The summary is this, like everything which gets into Gangaji becomes pure and attain Ganga bhaaw, that is feeling of purity, in the same way, after surrendering the soul to the Lord, soul attains Brahmabhaaw..(Divine feeling, which is uncanny, up from the worldliness!)
Iti ShriMadallabhachayra virachitam
Sidhhanta rahasyam samaptam.
ShriKrishna appeared to ShriMahaprabhuji @ the midnight..Mahaprabhuji offered Mishri and Pavitraa to Shri Krishna. Pavitra is a kind of colorful and a very soft and silky threas..so celebrating this joy with Krishna devotees..both days of Shravan shukla paksha ekadashi (11th & 12th day of Shravan month shukla paksha..) are celebrated will zeal and ful devotion in PushtiMarga. Another reason of celebrating the 12th day is because on the very same day AacharyaShri Mahaprabhuji gaver Brahmasambandh to Damodardas Harsaniji. So he thus became the first Brahmasabandhi Pustimargiya Vaishnav.
If you remember then in our last posts, we saw how Damodardasji said that he did not understand what ShriKrishna told to Mahaprabhuji. This deny of damodardasji also has a reason, Look my dear frnds, that time Damodardasji wasnt give Brahmasambandh. Hence he could not understand the depth of Krishna's words. He would never have taken Brahmasambandh, if he woukld have been that able to understand Krishna's words. Guru-Shishya has a feeling of Lord and his servant. If Shishya understands the words and dept of Lord woithout Guru or his grace, then this feeling comes to an end, bcoz then we start thinking 'I understood this'
Bhaav of Shri Damodardasji.
**ShriGusainji (Mahaprabhuji's second son who is also an incarnation of Krishna..who is also worshipped in Panduranga Vitthala His story and why he is also Shri Krishna will be discussed later. Mahaprabhuji's divine marriage is also an interesting story I'll discuss it in detail later. )
Once, Shri Vitthalnathji 'Gusainji' asked Danodardasji- "O Damodardasji!! What do you feel Acharya Shri Mahaprabhuji is all about?''
Damodardasji replied- 'I worship and serve Acharya Mahaprabhuji more than I serve Krishna'
To this Gusainji asked- 'Why so?'
Damodardasji replied- 'O my Lord! Daata(the donor) is always greater than the Daan(donation)' The way Mahaprabhuji made every Vaishnav marry Krishna through Brahmasambandh, he has given the love and grace of his own beloved to us.
Friends, like Radhe Rani loved Krishna with her heart, ShriLalitha sakhi also loved Krishna in the same way, but the important thing is that these forms of Lord.. whether we talk of Radhe, Lalitha, Vishakha, Gopis or Mahaprabhuji.. they bless us and what they give in return is Krishna bhakti to Krishna lovers, the ability the right to serve him in the same way they love and Krishna. And women will understand it more that what does sharing his beloved with other of his lovers mean..This is a very big thing. That is why, all those who give Krishna's love, or Krishna himself to serve to various bhakts is more honourable than the God himself. After giving Brahmasambandh, Mahaprabhuji gave a swaroop of Krishna to his devotees,
If we talk of worldly lovers, do you know any such lover who would share his beloved's love with some other?😲 Off course they wont.😳 and giving your beloved to others... forever is a very big thing..👏That is why it is said and believed firmly in Pushtimarga- 'Ek bharoso ShriVallabh ko dujo Nandkishor'
Means first have faith in ShriVallabh and secondly on Shri Krishna -the child of Nand Baba.
Like Gopis captivated Krishna's heart in the same manner Mahaprabhuji, who is another form of Gopika's love has captivated Krishna, so only with Mahaprabhuji's grace, one can attain the love of Krishna forever!
Mahaprabhuji asks for 'Adharamrit'!
KrishnaDas Meghan, a Vaishnav, who lived in a place called Sauran. He was a follower of a yogi named Keshawanand. While doing Brij yaatra, Krishnadas ji Meghan saw Lord Krishna in Mahaprabhuji, whose beauty fails thousands of cupids! Havng this experience, Krishnadasji and some more Vaishnavas named Prabhudas Jalota, Ramdasji etc became the followers of Acharyashri Mahaprabhuji. Mahaprabhuji took all these Vaishnavas alongwith him and went to Vrindavan, Parasoli and they reached to Anyor. In Anyor, there lived one devotee named Sadu Pandey. Mahaprabhuji sat outside the house of Sadu Pandey. Looking at the beauty and glow of ShriMahaprabhuji all the residents of Brij Bhoomi talked about him in the same way the Mithila and Mathura vaasis talked when Shri Ram and Shri Krishna graced their places!
The residents talked like...
One said- "He seems to be some great person, look @ his eyes"
Other said "hey look at the glowing firy circle round him!"
All were mesmerised with his beauty and his brilliant aura!
Sadu Pandey came to know that some great person is sitting outside his house,
he said- "Please have something!"
Then, Krishnadasji said to Sadu Pandey- "He only taked things offered to Krishna! Nothing else!" Sadu Pandey had a wife named Bhawani, and a sweet little daughter named Naro. Shri Goverdhan nathji also called as 'Shrinathji' used to shower his special love and grace on the young girl Naro. It was adaily routine of Naro, to offer milk to Shrinathji in the morning and evening. But when sometimes she could not go to Shrinathji due to some household chores, Shrinathji himself used to call Naro's name and took the milk. But if after Shrinathji's constant calls, Naro couldnt go to Shrinathji, then he used to reach her house and drink milk with her hands, as if he's someone from her own family.😆
Look frnds how merciful is our Krishna, the whole worold calls his name, but he calls his devotees name, he calls his every devotee to serve him, sooo blessed is Naro!
So, when Krishnadasji Meghan said to Sadu Pandey that Mahaprabhuji only takes Shri Krishna's prasaad and nothing else, at the same time, Shrinathji called from Giriraj shriGoverdhan hill- "O Naro!! Naro!!! Please bring me some milk dear!!
Naro replied- "O my sweet Lala!! Some guests have come to our house!"
Shrinathji said- "Guest have come? Okay Its good, But bring me some milk na"
Naro was filled with love and replied- " O my sweet Lala, Balihaari jaun" Just wait I bring it now!"
Naro took a bowl full of milk and went to the great Goverdhan hill.
At the very same time, Mahaprabhuji asked his follwer Damodardas Harsaniji- " Damla! Did you hear something?" Damodardas ji replied- "Oh yes my Lord I did!"
Mahaprabhuji reminded him- " Look this is the same voice which we heard in Jharkhand!! I think our Lord has appeared here only!! In the morning we'll go to the temple!"
Till the time, Naro returned after offering the milk to Shrinathji. Shri Mahaprabhuji told her- "O Naro! Please give me this bowl, is there anything left in it?"
Naro gladly answered- "O yes my Lord, there is some little of it left in the bowl But there is sooo much of milk in our house, I bring that for you"
Mahaprabhuji replied- No!! Please wait Naro! I want the same milk which is left, no matter its in drops, but I want that!!"
Naro gave the bowl to Mahaprabhuji and he happliy had the Adharamrit ('Shrinathji's prasaad')
Then, Sadu Pandey prayed Mahaprabhuji- "O Lord! Please make us your followers too! Please give us Lord's name." Mahaprabhuji accpeted his prayer and made the whole Pandey family, his follwer. Sadu Pandey desired that Mahaprabhuji should eat something from his house. Mahapabhuji fulfilled his desire, and made Sadu Pandey blessed and happy by accpeting everything he offered.
In the night, all the Brij vaasis and Sadu Pandey sat with Mahaprabhuji, Mahaprabhuji asked "Up above the Giriraj ShriGoverdhan hill, Devdaman (another name of Shrinathji) has appeared, I'd feel so blessed if you tell me the whole incident of his apperance."
Sadu Pandey replied- "O Lord! You are his very own form, then also you're asking?"
Mahaprabhuji just smiled!
Sadu Pandey said- " Because you have chosen me to tell you the incident,. I'll tell you how he appeared and how did we know it was none other than Devdaman!...Sadu Pandey told the whole incident..
Sadu Pandey describes 'How Shrinathji appeared?'
Guys we ended up wth dat ShriMahaprabhuji wants to know the whole incidence of apperance of Shri Goverdhan nathji(Shrinathji). Sadu Pandey who lived in the plzce tells Accharyashri the whole incident.
Sadu Pandey narrated, -O Lord! There was a cowherd who used to take our cows for grazing. There was a Brahmin's cow, who was bigger than tghe other cows and was some different frm other cows, the cow used to accompany the cowherd and his cows. When the cow returned home, the Brahmin used to take out her milk. But a strange thing used to happen everytime, such a big fat cow, who grazed alot gave such a little milk...! The Brahmin thought, the cowherd must have taken out her milk.
In the evening, when the corherd returned, the Brahmin angrily asked- "Why brother? What is it? Why do you take out my cow's milk?
The cowherd replied- " What are you taliking about? Without any evidence how can you blame me? This is not right! Today, you have told this thing to me, so I'll keep an eye on the cow.
In the morning, the cowherd took away the cows. He kept a firm watch on the cow.
What the cowherd saw...the cow glided on the top of the great Goverdhan hill. The cowherd quickly followed her. He saw that there was a rock with an opening and above the hole there stood the same big fat cow and she was showering milk on its own upon that rock! When the cow had showered the whole milk from her udder, she went down the hill. The cowherd was both confused and trembled, he moved closer to the rock and saw the hole. In the evening too, the cow went above the great Goverdhan and showered whole of her milk in the hole. The cowherd maintained a distance and saw the whole scene and informed what he saw to the Brahmin. The Brahmin was astonished to know this and did not believe the cowherd. The cowherd said- "Okay you yourself come with me tommorrow and I'll show it to you!"
In the morning, cowherd took the Brahmin alongwith him. The Brahmin saw all the incidence..the pouring of milk by the cow on the same rock into the hole...he could not believe his eyes. He told the incident to all the Brijvaasis.
Everyone was surprised to know such a strange incidence. Sadu Pandey who was narrating the incidence to Mahaprabhuji said- "O Lord Then all of us began to discuss about the reason of this strange incidence." Then, a very old Brijvaasi said -" I've heard that where there is some wealth, cow showers its milk." All of us reached above the hill. We all saw the rock and an opening on the rock. Then everyone put their effort to lift up the rock to see what was inside it.. then we saw that there stood a very beautiful 7 year old child in a position that his mouth was near the hole and everyone understood that this child drinks the cow's milk. O Lord! We all began to say- Oh it was this wealth we all were talking about ha ha ha! This is the true welath! Ha ha ha" Everyone laughed! Acharyashri! From that day the child accepts whatever milk, curd or butter we offer him, he plays with our children. We asked his name and he told us that he is Devdaman. Then we got it that he is not a normal child who could live without water and food under the rock, he is the lord of the mountain. Some old residents said that he looks exactly like the same kid who protected our land from Indra's and from the same day we all began to worship the child as Devdaman.
Alonwith Shrinathji, three more dieties appeared, one was Sankarshana who appeared from Sankarshan Kund, The second diety named Govindji appeared from Govind Kund, and the thir one named Daani Rayji appeard from Daani ghaat. All these dieties appeared at one time.
Sadu Pandey continued-" O Lord! You are a great soul! You know everything. In this world the Lord himself shows his grace his powers and his form so that his lovers can sing and dance in his praise and attain that divine ecstasy!
ShriMahaprabhuji became full of joy on hearing such a divine incidence, the appearance of his lord, his beloved, his very own, his dear Shri KRISHNA, SHRINATHJI, DEVDAMAN, and what else his devotees call him as..! Gopaldasji who was with Mahaprabhuji at that time sang with praise- "Apni leela te vadan pote kari ucchar aanand adhik deedho."
Means the Lord from his leela gave incomparable joy and ecstasy to his lovers!
Hope guys you must be feeling happy on hearing this incident!
Jai Shri krishna!
My dear frns n gr8 devotees of Krishna! Till now u must have know abt how Shrinathji incarnated wth him which of his other forms incarnate. Now we will read abt the most b'ful chapter of Mahaprabhuji's life that is his frst meeting wth Shrinathji! Shrinathji took birth just bcoz he cud not bear the separation of ShriVallabh to whom he sent on the Earth to reduce the pain of Krishna's separation.The frst meeting of Mahaprabhuji and Shrinathji @ the Goverdhan hill
Early in the morning, Shri Mahaprabhuji took his Vaishnavas along wth him n went to the Goverdhan hill.
Shrinathji saw Mahaprabhji frm the hill, and he himself came forward and hugged Mahaprabhuji as if a child hugs his mother wth love. Mahaprabhuji also hugged him wth all the devotion and love filled in his heart. This is how they met for the first time. One of the Vaishnava named Gopaldasji sung a pada-
"Harkhete saamaa aaviya Shri Goverdhan Uddharan."
Means very delighfully the Lord who rosethe goverdhan hill came forth and met Mahaprabhuji.
As I said my dear frnds that there's a b'ful chain btw Mahaprabhuji-Vaishnavas and Shrinathji.
Lets see how..Frnds, on Krishna's command Mahaprabhuji went to Earth frm Golok, so tht those devotees who are dying in the viraha taap of Krishna can soothe their lives and. Then Krishna himself produced a tejpunja fire form incarnated frm his face, this is how Mahaprabhuji is Krishna himself who reincarnated himself in Kaliyug to soothe the thirsty eyes of his lovers and give them the taste of Bhaktirasa and provide them salvation which directly leaves the jeevas to Krishna very own abode called 'GOLOKA' Bt the thing was Krishna and Mahaprabhuji loved each other sooo much that they cudnt live wthout each other, this is one reason that Mahaprabhuji is also called ShriVallabh, i.e. beloved of Lord.
Krishna knew that my Vallabhacharyaji will not be able to bear his separation coz how long a face can live wthout its body, so the time when Mahaprabhuji took birth, at the same time Krishna's lotus face appeared @ Goverdhan hill as Shrinathji.
But the question is that why did Mahaprabhuji incarnated Shrinathji form that is Gioverdhan giridhari leela roop Krishna pay attention to the leela.
Actually you all need no intro to the leela, Mahaprabhuji thought that Indra did a serious crime towards the cows, the children, women, men of Brij, the cultivation by lashing heavy rains. Bt even after such a severe crime Krishna gave him the daan of mercy when he surrendered himself. now it was Kaliyug, where ppl commit no less severe crimes than Indra did, so for that particular leela should be reminded that is of the mercy giving Lord who can even forgive such ppl who do sins greater than mountains. So that no craeture no matter how sinful he is can berefty himself frm coming to the Lotus feet of the Lord. So Mahaprabhuji and Krishna both decided to incarnate Shrinathji form of Krishna taht symbolises the leela of mercifulness and the protector of devotees. Here it is focussed that Shrinathji is such a merciful Lord that when Indra lashed heavy rains krishna assumed this sin as if Indra is offering a service of providing water. Mahaprabhuji enlightens that Krishna is sooo merciful that he treats even sins done to him by ppl as his service, have u seen any1 else who can do such a gr8 mercy. So Krishna treated it as if Indra is offering water to wash himself (or u can say Krishna, the very merciful Lord assumed Indra's fury as an abhishek that was done over Goverdhan hill) after he had the meals frm Brijvaasis. Like if a child does some mischief his mother can slap him, but what to say for Shrinathji that he even accepts the sins done to him as if its service in other terms (other hint Putna uddhar)
Shrinathji then told Mahprabhuji-O Mahaprabhuji! Please make me sit on a throne and tell my sewa vidhi (how to offerr me services to my devotees) Then Mahaprabhuji placed Shrinathji and made him sit on the throne in a very small b'ful temple which Mahaprabhuji commanded the ppl to built.
First meeting
Next time when I updt we'll discuss abt who was the frst person who was given Shrinathji's service!😊
Jai Shri Krishna!😃
