Yatkaromi…….Twadarpannam // Shaastri Jayendra Dave Vallabh Vidyanagar Birth festivity of Shri Vaasudevanand Saraswati Swami Maharaj Shravann Krushna 5, 2056 Date: 20/8/2000 5 Gujarati Translator’s foreword Paramhansa Parivraajak Acharya Shri Vaasudevanand Saraswati Swami Maharajshri was born on the vernacular Shravann Krushna 5, Shakay year 1776, [in accordance on 13/8/1854] in the Southern India district of Sinhadurga near Saavantvadi in a village called Maanngraam to parents of devotional bent and ordinary circumstances, Shri Ganesh Bhatt and Smt. Ramabai, of the Tembe family. He took up Samadhi on the banks of river Narmada at Garudeshwar near Kewadia on Shaadh Shukla 1 Shaka year 1836 [in accordance 24-6-1914]. In childhood he gained praise of all via his good conduct, took the sacred-thread and listened to the Vedas and other Scriptures as narrated by his Guru, contemplated them and gave profound thought to them repeatedly. In adolescence itself he gained the title ‘Dash-granthi’ master of 10 Scriptures. In that age itself He expressed his mastery over the Scriptures related to Mantras, worship of God, regard for the noble in society and satisfaction of guests, living these conducts himself in his daily life. In that sequence he also accepted the hand of an apt maiden and took up life as a householder seeing into all its conducts as well as studying seriously the Scriptures related to the Yogic path. Soon he gained expertise and after the passing away of his wife at the age of approximately 36 years, he, understanding it to be the instruction of his Sought God Shri Dattatreya accepted the fourth Ashram of monkhood. In this manner Maharaj known fondly as Shaastri Bua now as a monk Tembe Swami in his life of 60 years twice without any footwear performed the pilgrimage of the Aaryavarta and Brahmavarta regions of India. Propounding religion, doing away with sorrows of the suffering, distributing apt counsel about the Self-essence to sincere seekers with grace, and teaching as well as initiating those with trust into the Yogic Path; thus he akin to God and Guru Shri Dattatreya was absorbed in activities that benefitted all. It is the life of such our Swami Maharaj in explicit detail that touches the heart that has been described by Shri Rang Avadhoot Maharaj in 19,000 couplets in an epic poem in the Dohra verse form in his renowned Text ‘Shri Guru Leelaamrut’ in its Upaasna-Kaand portion; it is he who has been the inspiring disciple, initiated in dreams - of our Swami Maharaj. It is God Shri Dattatreya the Divine Son manifested as the combined incarnations of Gods Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh to Sage Atri and Mother Ansuya who pleased with their penance and renowned in the Puranic Lore that was the Sought Deity. It is by keeping this Deity in mind always that all His Leela acts, His Divine Form as the Nirgunn and Sagunn, beyond and with attributes - as well all His incarnations given as below, empowered by Him in the Iron-Age came to earth to assist mankind: ShriPaad ShriVallabh Saraswati of Kuruguddi – Kuravpur in Karnataka - the master of Yoga and Shri Nrusinh Saraswati of Gaanngapur in Karnataka the Ascetic Lord. 6 Their acts in human form have been depicted of in Sanskrit and Marathi languages in poetic form. Of these the Sanskrit Texts are: 1. Dwisaahasri – Guru Sanhita [Published by Avadhoot Saahitya Prakaashan Trust, Nareshwar, original Sanskrit with Gujarati Translation] 2. Samshloki Gurucharitra – This is the Sanskrit poetic translation of the Marathi poetic Text Gurucharitra brought forth by Gangadhar Saraswati 3. Datta Champu – This is a poetic Text in the ‘Champu’ style of verse 4. Trishati Kaavya – 300 poetic couplets 5. Stotra Sangrah – assimilation of Sanskrit and Marathi hymns 6. Shri Dattapuranam – Very well renowned; the full reading and recitation of this Holy Text continue in areas of Gujarat and Maharashtra with full trust and devotion Swamiji and the bliss that he experienced of knowing the Self, realizing it fully via religious conduct and knowledge, with the hope that all beings in this terrifying Iron-Age, however flawed, living miserable lives – that they too may gain the same - brought forth the Shri Datta Purana in 3501 Sanskrit verses with Three portions Gjyaan-Upaasna- Karma Kaands on the banks of the River Ganga in Brahmaavarta region and thereafter wrote a commentary on it in Sanskrit named ‘Vaasudevi Sanhita’ on the banks of the River Saraswati in Gujarat at the Siddhpur region, the pilgrim center Maatrugaya. It is understood that most of his Texts have been brought forth during his journeys on foot and besides He also brought forth during the four months of monsoon, Chaturmaas, in the year 1956 well-known for its famine a commentary on His work ‘Dwisaahasri’ at Prabhas Patan near Somnath in Gujarat. Thus, besides two great commentaries as well as his taking up the Samadhi in Gujarat he has thus been instrumental in sowing the seeds of worship to God Shri Dattatreya here. The same seeds were brought to full fruition via penance and means of the path of seeking into a huge tree via his disciple Shri Rang Avadhoot Maharaj of Nareshwar and this by itself is an event that cannot escape notice. This entire Text has been brought forth by him and yet the depicted subject of God here is not found anywhere else in other Texts of Sage Veda Vyaas however the assimilation thereof from all Historical Epics and Purana, of anything even remotely related to God Shri Dattatreya and thereafter arranging them in sequence and to fill in the missing links via miraculous verses is how this Text has been given the form of a Purana; not per se a brand-new Holy Work. It is this effort of his that has been noted via the publishers who first brought out the Text in V.S. year – 2040 by the Shri Krushnadas Academy, Benaras wherein his name is not put as author or composer but as compiler. The reasons for the same are primarily two: 1. According to the nature of Indian Saints and their unimaginable humility they per se feel that they have not done anything and they themselves acknowledge: It is God Shri Dattatreya that has brought forth this Text making the ascetic Yati Vasudev only an instrument and furthermore the commentary too has been brought forth by Him; via such mention in the works themselves many may believe that it is not their own. 2. The second reason lies in the technicality of the Sanskrit language and the Benaras academy has well used it; for after each section [The last words of a 7 Chapter] it has been mentioned, ‘Thus the first Octad of the Vaasudevi Sanhita….etc.’ This can simply mean that in the Text Shri Datta Purana, and its commentary the Vaasudevi Sanhita the first octad etc…so it could mean him as the doer too; however it is by his own acknowledgement that he is not so; so may be the arrangement of him in that version is put forth as the compiler thereof.

    Disclaimer: Please note this is only a raw translation for the purpose of Dec 2014 parayan, please do not circulate or share. Aptavani 3 [CH 7 ] A Series of Questions About the Self! Difference, Based on Veils of Ignorance! Questioner: Does the body exist on the basis of the Self (Atma) or does the Self (Atma) exist on the basis of the body? Dadashri: If the Self (Atma) is there, then the body „stands‟ (lives). Questioner: The Atma of an agnani (one without Self-realization), the Atma of a Gnani (One with Self-realization) and the Atma of One who has attained moksha (final liberation); what is the difference in the energies of these three? What can the Siddhas (absolutely liberated Ones) do? The omniscient One (Sarvagnya) can do whatever He wishes. Dadashri: The Atma of the agnani appears to be in bondage (bandhan), whereas the Atma of the Gnani is in freedom-bondage (abandha-bandha). From certain perspectives, it appears to be bound, and from other perspectives, it appears to be unbound. Whereas the absolutely liberated Ones (Siddha Bhagwanto) always remain free (abandha), they remain in moksha only. The absolutely liberated Ones are no longer in a position to „do‟ anything. Only One (Gnani Purush) with a body (dehadhari) can do whatever He wishes. The energy of the absolutely liberated Ones is completely developed, but it is of no use to anyone. Questioner: By its swabhaav (inherent nature), by its gunadharma (intrinsic properties that have a specific function), (the Self) is indeed the same; then on what basis is there a difference in the energies? Dadashri: That difference is on the basis of avaran (veil of ignorance).

  • June 1998 This Makes One Attain the State Of
    June 1998 This Makes One Attain the State of Vitaragata EDITORIAL The one who remains in a state of vitarag (absolute, as the Knower only) is able to make others recognize the state of vitaragata (total absence of attachment and abhorrence). Where in the world can true vitaragata be seen? If there is dehadhyas (belief that ‘I am the body), there is attachment-abhorrence, kashay (anger-pride-deceit-greed), then conduct full of attachment- abhorrence is only seen. Otherwise, if an example of vitaragata is present, then others like it will indeed follow! Vitaragata cannot be accomplished through efforts. It is when you see and identify such vitarag people that it begins to arise within you. In worldly life only greed-money-sexuality-illusory attachment-pride-prestige are to be seen. The societal influence has become so strong that one makes an effort only to move towards these things. Vitaragata cannot be acquired by running away from all of this into the jungle or deep into Himalayas. Vitaragata is an internal state, which remains in spite of being in worldly interaction. When One attains the Gnan (Knowledge of the Self), dweshbhaav (view of abhorrence) comes to an end becomes vitadwesh (free from abhorrence). No matter how much anybody insults or harms him, the intent of taking revenge within him has completely dissolved. And further, as one keeps settling every favorable or unfavorable circumstance or person with equanimity, the stage of vitaragata begins accordingly. Ultimately one enters the state of absolute vitaragata. In the present compilation of Gnani Purush Dadashri’s speech, different incidents of worldly interaction, detailing of the characteristics (lakshan) of vitaragi Purush (One who is absolutely enlightened) are described.

  • Khratu (Skt: Kratu) (Human Rational Thinking)
    The Prophets utterances (Part 2) Khratu (Skt: Kratu) (Human rational thinking) [My preamble in ‘The Prophet’s utterances’ Part (1) I had discussed both the closeness as well as some noteworthy differences in the usage of the word ‘səraōša’ (uttered by Zarathushtra) with the word ‘śrōša’, used by the composers of the early part of the Ŗg Vēdā and later Sanskrit texts. Here, I present another Gāthic word ‘Khratu’ and its parallel ‘Kratu’ in the Ŗg Vēdā. The purpose of this rather time-consuming undertaking, apart from pointing towards the closeness of the Vēdic Āryānic and the Gāthic Āiryānic peoples, is to provide a ready reference to researchers of this interesting subject matter]. Pronunciation symbols Again, I have adopted the following transcription (after Kanga 6. & Taraporewala 9) as permitted by my software, while avoiding the encoding of the ITRANS convention hoping to make the reading for non- academic purposes generally easier: - a as in fun; ā as in far; ã (nasal sound ãn) as in ‘āvãn’; ə as in fed, ē as in fade; i as in fill; ī as in feel; o as in for; ō as in fore; u as in full; ū as in fool. The nasal sounds are ãn as in āvãn; ən as in the French ‘trés biən’, ĩn as in Ahĩnsā (also pronounced ‘ĩm’ as in Sanskrit Ahĩmsā and as also in Avestan and Gathic languages) and ũn as in Humayũn. The pronunciation of some consonants (as permitted by my software) are ‘ś’ for ‘sh’, ‘š’ for ‘ss’, ‘ŗ’ for ‘ri’, ñ for ‘ni’, ‘ž’ for ‘zh’.

  • The Brahma Purana
    THE BRAHMA PURANA In the forest known as naimisharanya. The sages (maharshis) arranged for a sacrifice (yajna) in this forest and the ceremony went on for twelve years. Naimisharanya forest was a wonderful place to arange sacrifices in. The climate was pleasant. There were trees full of flowers and fruit. There was no shortange of food in the forest, and animals, birds and sages lived there happily. Many sages ame to attend the sacrifice that had been arranged in naimisharanya. With them was Romaharshana (alternatively Lomaharshana). Vedavyasa’s disciple. Vedavyasa had instructed this disciple of his in the knowledge of the Puranas. The assembled sages worshipped the learned Romaharshana and said, Please tell us the stories of the Puranas. Who created the universe, who is its preserver and who will destroy it? Please instruct us in all these mysteries. Romaharshana replied, Many years ago, Daksha and the other sages had asked Brahma these very questions. I have learnt about Brahma’s replies from my guru (teacher) Vedvyasa. I will relate to you what I know. In the beginning , there was water everywhere and the brahman (the divine essence) slept on this water in the form of Vishnu. Since water is called nara and since ayana means a bed, Vishnu is known as Narayana. In the water there emerged a golden egg (anda). Brahma was born inside the egg. Since he created himself, he is called Svayambhu, born (bhu) by himself (svayam). For one whole year, Brahma lived inside the egg. He then split the egg into two and created heaven (svarga) and the earth (prithivi) from the two parts of the egg.
