Jai Shri Krushna Pushtidasji

Sorry I should have written the complete phrase from Utsavji. the Utsavji I have is called "Sriji Darshan". The Ekadashi days and utsavs are highlighted with red colour in it.

For 18th Jan, the description says "Putrada Ekadashi (Buttermilk)".
For 19th Jan, the description says "Putrada Bhagvat Ekadashi (Buttermilk)".

I was referring to "Bhagvat" word from above. The use of "Bhagvat" word exists when Ekadashi is mentioned on 2 days in Utsavji. So does this mean that "Bhagvat" word in description is used to indicate Ekadashi to be followed by Pushtimaargiya Vaishnav?

Jai Shree Krishna
and Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh,

Thank you for clearing my misunderstanding, when you wrote 'UTSAVJI' I thought you were talking about the famous Som-yagi Vallabhkul Balak Shree Gokul Utsavji.

Furthermore, thanks for revealing the source from where you read about 'Bhagvat' Ekadashi.

Zankhnaji,

Thank you for wonderful explanation Pushtidasji. The stories at link provided by Vasantji are fabulous too.

This site is a big knowledge bank for our Pushtimarg. By Thakorji's grace, I have found a really good satsang oppotunity which was missing till date for me. A big hearltfelt Thank You to all Vaishnavs here.

Jai Shree Krishna

Zankhnaji, with the grace of Hari (Thakorji) Guru and Vaishnavs this site is gradually making its mark on the historic avenue of Pushtimarga. The feelings are mutual, we at krishnaseva.com have one aim and that is to build a lovely satsang tibari without any politics and without fear we also depict as much gudh bhava as we can.

Some sites have more than neccessary membership, but we believe that 'Sinha na Toda na hoya'. We have lovely interaction and participation of few vaishnavs and they have made this site a lovely Pushtimargiya site.

I am grateful to you for your kind words and I am sure your contribution to this site is also pramount.

Jai Shri Krishna

Dear Vallabhi Vaishnavs Jaya Ekadashi is approaching this Sunday Feb 17th 2008.

Note on Cupid: KAmadeva, lust personified, has five names according to the Amara-kosha dictionary: kandarpa darpako 'nanga kAmah pancha-sharaih smarah "Cupid has five names; (1) Cupid; (2) Darpaka, 'he who prevents future events'; (3) Ananga, 'he who has no physical body'; (4) KAma, 'lust personified' ; and (5) Pancha-sharaih, 'he who holds five arrows' ".

Kandarpa: In the tenth chapter of the Bhagavad Gita (BG 10:28.) Lord Sri Krishna says, prajanash cAsmi kandarpah; "Of causes for procreation, I am Kandarpa". The word Kandarpa also means "very beautiful". Kandarpa appeared as Lord Krishna's son Pradyumna in DwArakA.

Darpaka: This name indicates that Cupid can perceive what is to take place and prevent it from happening. Specifically, he tries to impede pure spiritual activity by alluring one's mind and forcibly engaging one in material sense enjoyment.

Ananga: Once, when Cupid disturbed the meditation of Lord Shiva, that powerful deva (demigod) burned him (Cupid) to ashes. Still, Shiva gave Cupid the benediction that he would act in the world even without a physical body - like a ghost.

KAma: In Bhagavad Gita BG 7:11.) Lord Sri Krishna says, dharmAviruddho bhuteshu kAmo'smi: "I am sex life which is not contrary to religious principles."

Pancha-sharaih: The five arrows with which Cupid pierces the mind of the living entities are taste, touch, sound, smell, and sight.

These are the five names of the empowered deva Cupid, who enchants all living entities and makes them do whatever he wants. Without receiving the mercy of Guru and Krishna one cannot resist his power.

Thus ends the narration of the glories of MAgha-shukla EkAdasii, or JayA EkAdasii, from the Bhavishya-uttara Purana.

Jai Shri Krishna,

Reminder for pyara Vallabhi Vaishnavs -- Kunj Ekadashi is on Monday March 17th 2008 badhai to all vaishnavs in advance.

Kunj means -

A secluded place under a big tree, or a few trees whose branches are leaning towards the ground and which is covered with the perfumed blossoms of its own and also of the climbing creepers. The inside ground has soft grass which is enough for a small group of people to sit on, and it is surrounded with plants of variously colored perfumed flowers. This is also known as a bower.

From today the Dol kirtans are sung. Shree Thakurji swings in Dol

It is also called Amalaki Ekadashi for stories please click foll link.

Holi essentially celebrates the victory of "good over evil"; Praladh, with the blessings of Lord Vishnu overcomes his father, Hiranyakashyap. Hiranyakashyap, a demon king filled with hubris and arrogance, wanted his people to only pray to him. Instead, Praladh, being faithful to Lord Vishnu, decided to ignore his father's demands and continue his unwavering devotion to Lord Vishnu. When Hiranyakashyap saw this, he became furious and attempted to violently kill his own son.

Hiranyakashyap's sister, Holika, had the ability to withstand fire. She would not be harmed by any flame, whether big or small. So, Hiranyakashyap devised a plan where he would place both Holika and Praladh into a pyre, ultimately burning Praladh to death. However, when the pyre was lit, Praladh survived, and Holika burned to death. Because of his love and devotion towards God, Praladh was saved by Lord Vishnu.

The celebration of this victory began in Vrindavan and Mathura, where Lord Krishna and his friends would drench the other village girls with water and colors. After some time, more and more people joined in this celebration of colors during every anniversary of Praladh's victory over Hiranyakashyap.

Therefore, today we celebrate this joyous occasion initiated by our Lord Krishna in order to symbolize the victory over evil. We remember that, like Praladh, no evil can harm us as long as our pure and unwavering devotion towards God remains present in our daily lives.
