Power of Company – Vaarta
13 years ago
Power of Company - If the company is bad, it will lead to downfall. Will be wrapped up in worldly sorrows/pleasure. If a divine soul happens to be in contact, then it has tremendous capability to relieve you from the worldly involvement and can take your soul to a divine height.
Prasang :
Once Chacha Harivanshji happened to be in a remote village of Gujarat where the population of Bhil tribe was prevailing. Their main business was stealing/looting. One lady was impressed by chacha’s behaviour, took him to her house respectfully and received the grace of chacha. That family and entire village went through a sea change, embraced Seva and switched over to farming for family maintenance and left stealing forever.
Granth Pankti :
Sangaha sarvatmana tyajyam tata yet tyaktum na shakyate
Sa sadabhihi saha kartavyaha santaha sangasya bhashejka

Vaarta

In Pushtimarg – as in old scriptures – there are numerous ways of passing on the beliefs and the tenets through the generations.
Saying anything in a single way might seem hard or unattractive to some. So there are many ways of taking a siddhant to the masses. In Pushtimarg the tenets shown by Shri Vallabh are followed even today. Shri Vallabh has explained his thoughts in the various granths which he wrote. These granths are written in Sanskrit language and so are hard – almost impossible – to understand for the modern man. For the modern man, the best way to understand Pushtimarg and live this beautiful marg is to regularly read the vaartas of Pushtimarg.
As the word shows a ‘vaarta’ is a story, more precisely put these are biographies of vaishnavas who lived during the times of Shri Mahaprabhuji, Shri Gusainji as well as stories of many of our vaishnav ancestors. These prasangs show us the way to lead our lives according to the principles of Shri Vallabh, these are our ideals. Reading and remembering these vaartas help us deal with the ups and downs of life in a better way and also take us closer to prabhu.
There is no end to vaartas but we have chosen some which will show the way to today’s vaishnavas. This topic divided into the following sections :
- 84 vaishnavas
- 252 vaishnavas
- Nij-vaarta, Gharu-vaarta
- Vachanamrut
