20th century's Chaitanya Mahaprabhu : Balkrishandass Maharaj

AAHA , coming Tuesday , 9th Dec , 2008 is GITA-JAYANTI

i.e. the day Lord Krishna imparted Gita-gyan to Arjuna during Mahabharata war about 5200 years ago . Haryana Govt often arranges special programs e.g.exhibition of Holy Books by GITA-PRESS at KURUKSHETRA , the place where GITAJI was preached first time.

Thus may I request all to chant Srimad Bhagwad Gita on this day . Best is from chapter Ist to all 18 chapters during the whole day . But if time limitation is there , please read at least 1 chapter .... Saint
Ushaji used to recommend chapter 12 or 18 for this purpose . .... 4pm to 8 pm diary 7 of Divinity personified - Great Saint Ushaji


Secondly , Gita-Jayanti is MOKSHADA EKADASI also i.e. b'day of most revered Balkrishandass Maharajji (
ww.raswaridhi.com ) . Accordingly ,his most able disciple Manoharji has requested all to reach VENU VINOD KUNJ to offer floral tributes at Maharajji 's Holy feet on early morning on 9th followed by Sadhu- Bhandara on 10th Dec., WED.



In fact, right from childhood , saint Ushaji of BOBOJI on Sri Krishna Karnamrit fame
inspired me to have rare Darshan of Great Saint Sri Maharajji . Having personal association with him for more than 30 years , I would say with authority that simply stated, Sri Sri Balkrishandass Maharajji was RAREST of the Saints 20th Century has produced ---being the divine companion (Sakhi or ALI ) of Lord Sri Krishna. He represents finest tradition of Madhur Bhaav of Braj Leela or tender love Lord Chaitanya exhibited 500 years ago.... a bird's eye-view of ......

He was born on holy Gita-Jayanti Ekadasi ( when Lord Krishna preached Gita to arjuna ) at Mysore ( 29th Nov , 1918 to be precise ) . At the tender age of 17 , he was inspired by Swami Ramkrishan Paramhansa to renounce this world . He travelled widely from 1935 to 1938 . Finally , had first Darshan of Lord krishna in Braj Chourasi ( Nandgaon ) . His divine communication & company with Great Saint of kashmir , Gorakhpur ( Bhaiji , Sri Radha Baba ) , Goverdhan (Gayaparasad Panditji etc ) , his sublime works like Adbhut Shyam Tamal etc etc before Golok-gaman on 24th May, 1995 all are too great events that have been descibed in detail at site ww.raswaridhi.com .

Inspired by Swami ramkrishan Paramhansa , Poojaya Maharajji was PARAMHANSA himself ----kind & loving to all , ever-smiling , enemy of none , friend of all ( "SANTUSHATAH SATTAM YOGI ........)He was the living example of rare qualities of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu -----having strongest faith in Naam-Sankirtan etc. Whenever he rendered kirtan of Mahamantra i.e.

"HARE RAM HARE RAM RAM RAM HARE HARE HARE KRISHAN HARE KRISHAN KRISHAN KRISHAN HARE HARE", It was a rare sight to watch –it was as if he was dancing in front of Lord Sri krishan , Radhaji, Gopis etc.

It's said greatness of Sri Ramji can be gauged by the greatness of Sri Sitaji –Bharat –Laxman-Hanumanji-Balmiki-Tulsidassji or that of Lord Krishna by Sri Radhaji –Gopis –Udhav –Arjun –Shukdevji-Meerabai-Soordassji etc. In the similar way , the greatness of Sri Maharajji gets reflected through his able followers viz.----

Sri Ghanshyam Bhaiyaji or Thakurji who used to manage all activities of Venu Vinod Kunj & Tamal Kunj

Sri Manohar baba who took rare snaps of Bhaav-samadhis of Poojay Sri Maharajji & noted intricate details of his Leelas etc now part of the book called " CHARIT- VAIBHAV

Sri Deviji--Kusumji-- Manormaji & so on . Thus it's no wonder that in the 3 snaps being displayed here ,


In the first one , Sri Ghnanshyamji's Guru Maharaj Sri Balkrishandassji is blessing his constant companion Manoharji . Revered Rama Deviji & Kusumji are curious onlookers as the moment this photo was being clicked , Manoharji did not know what is happening so the snap is very natural & unique one
The second snap is too old ( precisely in 60s) when Manoharji's beard was still black !
The third one is hardly 11 months old ( Dec 2001) of the publisher of the book on Ghanshyamji viz. Manoharji. Vedas call "Net-Neti" & still describe God .Who can be more humble than Goswami Tulsidasji (JYON BALAK KAH TOTRI BATA .......) or Surdassji ( MO SO KAUN KUTIL KHAL KAMI ..........) & still write unparrelled SRI RAM CHARIT MANAS or SOORSAGAR ! Thus let we all bow at Holy feet of Sri Sri Maharajji to enable us to know His true nature , power & Devotion.... world owes it to Shukdevji (son-incarnate of sage Vedvyas) for all divinity
