Krishna Seva

[Arti Gujrati]

jai jai shri gokulesh

Vasantji written earlier in same topic
Thakurjis right leg is symbolic for bhakti and his left leg is represents mukti so we should touch the right leg first then the left leg and then again the right leg so that we attain bhakti of thakurji more than mukti .... this is the bhavna behind charansparsch

and unnati ji written that
left charan first sparsh means please give me Bhakti and then sparsh on right charan means I have surrendered everything at your lotus feet so give me...here we again touch the left foot and say...so give me the bhakti with dasanudas (Vaishnava seva bhakti) bhakti as well

I think both the statement are contradictory.

plz. clear my confusion.[/quote]

SYMBOLS ON LEFT LOTUS FOOT:

1. DHWAJ (FLAG)

This symbol gives the followers of Leeladham and those in this world the boon of fearlessness. It also gives solace and removes the pains of separation from the Lord.

The placing of the flag at the top of Shreeji's temple denotes the love for Gopijans and all auspicious events, birth events and pooja have the blessings.

2. ANKUSH
The sign represents the instrument with which an elephant is kept in control. The elephant here represents the power, strength and ego. The symbol helps the bhakt to acheive Nirodh and keeps in control the ten senses of a human being.
It helps to attain humbleness and dasya bhav.

(3) MINAH

Min ati chanchal che. Te jevi ritey pani ma rahe che, tevi ritey Shri Govardhandhar sakal jagat ma netra kataksha na bal thi vrajanganao ne mohi lidhi, tethi Shri Govardhan nathji na netra roopi min ne potana na charan kamal ma dharan kari lidhi hoi, tena ashray thi Shriji ne anand che.

Tethi aa min chinha na ashray thu bhakto ne swaroop anand no anubhav thai che. Jevi ritey min chanchal che, tevi ritey man pan chanchal che. Tethi 4 dishao mathi sankarshan kari swaroop dhyan karva thi sthir rahe, tethi bhakt jan man ni chacchalta tyaji ne charan kamal nu dhyan kare, jema jya prem che, tya min rahe che ane aapshri na yugal charan kamal ma je nirvadhi ras che, teno anubhav karva mate, man ni sthirta yugal charan kamal na ashray thi thai. Shudh prem vagar na hriday ma aapna charan kamal sthir rahe nahi, karan ke kamal che te jal maj pragat thai che, Tethi je bhakt nu hriday prem jal na sarovar thi bharelu hoi, temaj Shri acharyaji na charan kamal pragat thai.

Aa prakar nu bodh vishesh kari ne 'min' chinha kare che. Tethi pushtimarg ma je jeev sharne che, tene aa chinha hriday ma dharan karvu joye. Charan no sambandh jal sathe thata jal charanamrut bane che, je sudha nu paan karnar bane che, te anand ras thi bharelu hova thi sarva bhakto teno bhog kare che. Te thij bhakt jano na man aa charne jai che, pan chatta amrut paan pita kadi trupt thataj nathi. Jevi ritey min jal vagar tarfale che ane jal no ashray hamesha shodhe che.

4. SUDARSHAN CHAKRA

Sudarshan Chakra is next to the Dhwajaji (Flags) and is always there. By doing its darshan one attains the fruits of closeness with Shriji. the form of Sudarshan is like Shri Swaminiji's bangle and hence Shriji has kept it in hand.
This symbol in Shri Mahaprabhuji's lotus feet keeps everyone in his control. It protects every Bhagwadiya from all four directions. Hence, all those who recite and meditate on this symbol will always be protected and will always have the thirst to be in the presence of Shri Vallabhs Lotus Feet.

Sudarshan Chakra in Nathdwara is placed on the Flag mast on top of the Nijmandir of shri Thakorji.

5. ASHTDAL (OCTAGON)

This symbol in the Lotus Foot of Shri Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhuji gives the eight types of rewards and these eight rewards along with Shri Vallabhachar remain always attached to the Pushti Jeev.
This symbol is Adhidaivik form of Rasatmak which denotes Shri Yamunaji who was given this as reward by Her father.
Eight such rewards have been explained by Shri Mahaprabhuji in Yamunashtak

The eight attainments are divided into two gorups:
1. VIPRAYOG (SEPARATION) - 4 ATTAINMENTS
2. SANYOG (IN COMPANY OF OR BEING TOGETHER) - 4 ATTAINMENTS

The Eight Siddhis (eight fruits/achievements) are:
(1) Body to worship God.
The body is made pure and worth to worship God
(2) To watch God’s action.
To watch the leela's of God
(3) To feel God’s action.
To attain the fruits of the rasatmak bhav
(4) To get sarvatm Bhav siddhi.
The Highest attainment of the feelings
(5) To remain and have God’s blessing even during difficult
days.
(6) To get divine sight (Darshan of lord).
(7) To feel the pleasure of God’s blessings (Krupa).
( To feel God’s presence in all situations.

Thus the charanchinh gives the eight siddhis when we recite and do the darshan of the Charanchins of Shri Mahaprabhuji.

12. KAMAL (LOTUS)

The Kamal (Lotus) represents Shri Swamini and is known as SARVATMA. Shri Swamini is the soul of the Lord and ours also.
Those who are attached to the lotus feet of Shri Mahaprabhuji, they are capable of achieving the KRISHNADHARA MRUTASWAAD.

Lotus provides coolness (comfort) and it gets rid of the feelings of separation. The nectar of love is in this symbol and hence it also imparts the rewards of Krishna loves.

The Kamal (lotus) in the Right Lotus Foot grants the rewards during

SANYOG (IN COMPANY OF OR BEING TOGETHER) - 4 ATTAINMENTS

The Kamal (lotus) in the Left Lotus foot grants the rewards during

VIPRAYOG (SEPARATION) - 4 ATTAINMENTS

Jai Shri Krishna Bhai

Thank you for the clarification... sorry i am a little confused.

is it possible to tell us what the 4 attainments are ? or

does "gudh" cover the 4 attainments of san yog and vipra yog ?
