Nirodha in Pushtimarg [audio]

by Goswami Anandbava on Oct 5th, 2011 · 15 comments

The concept of “Nirodha” in Pushtimarg is unique. Contrary to the popular definition of forcing our powerful mind into submission and engaging in a fruitless pursuit of trying to deviate the senses (indriya) from their natural tendencies, Shrimad Vallabhacharya Shri Mahaprabhuji advices us to use the same senses in the Seva of Shri Thakurji. The ever increasing love for Shri Krishna through Seva will remove all dosh from the senses enabling the jeev to attain the state of Nirodha.

By tradition the father in our family is addressed as Nayna (derived from telugu) and the eldest uncle as Bade-Nayna; this translates as ‘elder-father’, and that is also how each and every jeev who came in touch with Vallabhkul-Bhushan Nitya Leelasth Goswami 108 Shri Giridharlalji Maharajshri (Pancham Peethadhishwar, Kamvan) felt towards Him.

Upanayan – Yagnopavit ceremony is one of the 16 sanskars starting from Garbhadhan to Vivaah according to the Hindu Sanatan Dharma.
