Vandana Bhashya


Sri Sadguru Devay Namah

Vandana Bhashya

Prathama vandau guru carana
Jina agama gamya lakhayiya
Guru jnana dipa prakas'a kari,
                                                pata kholi dars'a dikhayiya
Prathama- first , vandau- pray , jina- who, agama-beyond comprehension, gamya-experience, lakhayiya-shown, pata-curtain,cover, darasha-shown

First I pray at the feet of gurudeva who has shown and has made me experience the Supreme Soul who is beyond the comprehensive abilities of mind, speech and sensory perceptions. Gurudeva has lit the lamp of knowledge within me, removed the cover of nature(prakriti), thrown open the tenth door and made me experience  directly the Supreme Being.

Jehi karane siddha pacei,
                                                so guru krpa se payiya
Akaha murati amiya surati
                                                tahi dekhi samayiya
jehi karane-in search of , siddha-medicants(tapasvis)who have accomplished siddhis and vibhutis(super natural power), pacei- tired of ,could not accomplish  so-that,akaha-which can not be described,murati-form,amiya-nectar, surati-form,tahi- him,samayiya-entered

Many tapasvis(medicants) who have accomplished siddhis and vibhutis(super natural power)could not realise God and gave up their efforts. I have seen the Supreme Soul's form which cannot be described,which is pure nectar -and having seen Him, I have now entered the Supreme Soul.

Nitya anadi deva bandichora,
                                                            Sad  guru cinmayam
Viveka nidhi dukha para maya
                                                            divya vapu karuna mayam.

Nitya = Eternal anadi = without begining, middle or end Deva = bestower of divine powers, Bandichora = redeemer from bondage   Cinmayam = Conscious knowledgable form   Vivek nidhi - Store house of knowledge  Divya = Conscious     Vapu = Body.

That eternal sadguru ( Nitya Anadi Sadguru) is without begining middle or end, ever present,   omnipresent, bestower of divine powers.  redeemer from all bondages for souls, is conscious entity with knowledgable form.  He is the storehouse of all knowledge and science and is bestower of all knowledge.  He is beyond all sorrows of nature, having concious body and is full of mercy.

Svachanda vis'va triloka manhi
                                                            bhramita hansana sukha mayam.

 Karma bhrama ka kati fanda
                                                            deva pada amrta mayam.

Svachanda = Independent, without hindrance, Manhi =In  Bhramita = Wanderer Hansan = Pure souls,  Sukhamayam = Cause of bliss, Bhrama = Illusion
Fanda = Bondage Pada = Place, abod  Amrtamayam = Concious nectar abode

Eternal guru ( Nitya Anadi Sadgur ) wanders, freely throughout the three lokas and bestows bliss to pure souls.  He purifies the souls by teaching them spiritual path.  He cuts the bondage of illusion and chains of karmas and takes the souls to the abode of nectar and pure conciousness.

Deha tava guna tattva nyari,
                                                            racita karata ki nahin.

Upades'a hita tana vividha dharyo
                                                            prakata caro yuga mahi.

Tava = Yours  Guna = Gunas of prakriti, Satva, rajas, tamas.  Tattva = akasa, vayu, agni, jala, prithvi  Nyari = Different  Karta = God   Hita = for  Tana = Body 
Vividha = Manay   Dharo = Asume  Caro yuga =   Sayayuga, Treta, Dwapra, Kaliyug, 
Mahi = Earth

Hey Sadgura deva ! Your body is not made up of three gureas of prakriti or form the five tattavas and is different from them.  Your body is not made by divine laws.  You assume at will various bodies to bestow your divine teachings to souls in all the four yugas on this earth.

Ades'a saccidananda ka lei
                                                            mukti bhakti tattva kahi

Krta krtyata pada hansa dinha
                                                            Parama pada nija ghara rahi

Adesa = Order  Saccidananda = Supreme loard  Lei =  On   Kahi = Brought forth   Krta krtyata = Glorified   Pada = Place, abode   dinha = Bestowed   Parama pada = Abode beyond time

On the orders of Supreme Lord you brought forth the knowledge of bhakti (devotion) and mukti (liberation) with its external philosophical and internal practical form for benefit of all souls.  You cleansed the souls to their pure form, made their human  life full of glory and took them to the concious abode beyond time.

Siddhanta tava paracara hita
                                                            main bhaumi sare rami rahun
Jivan maya karma fande
                                                            sujhata na kitano kahun.

Siddhata=External phylosophical knowledge of Bramhavidya vihangam yoga and secret internal practical path Main=Abyasa siddha sadguru Sadafaldeoji
bhaumi= earth rami=wander jivana=living beings kitano=howevermuch

I (abhyasa siddha sadguru sadafaldeo)am wandering on this entire earth with your knowledge of Brahmavidya vihangam yoga with its external phylosophical knowledge and the secret internal practical path. Living beings inhabiting the earth are held in bondage and cannot see the correct path of liberation. However much I am telling them they are not accepting their plight.

Dhvaja sveta "aa" abheda ankita
                                                               visva   faharane cahun
Agjna tumhari satya rakho
                                                            jana Sadafala pada gahun
"aa"abheda=secret symbol of Akshrabrahma  ankita=engraved,written cahun=want rakho=keep jana=bhakta or devotee pada=feet gahun=hold

Hey Nitya Anadi Sadguru! (Eternal Sadguru) I want to unfurl the "aa" marked flag symbolising the secret Akshara Bramha(Cosmic Creator) throughout the world. You have ordered me to do it.Keep this order true and my pledge to fulfill your order is to be kept by you. Your bhakta (devotee) Sadafala is holding your feet with total surrender.

Sadguru pankaja carana raja
                                                            vandau parama punita
Jahi krpa bhava dukha mitei
                                                            bhakti milei satacita

pankaja=lotus raja=dust  vandau=pray Param punita=very holy  jahi=of which
bhava=worldly  bhakti=total devotionsuch as what fish has with water satacita=to soul

I pray to the dust of lotus feet sadguru and am putting it on my head. Mercy of sadguru totally eradicates worldly pains and sorrows and soul gets attached to SupremeSoul with total devotion such as what fish has with water.



Moha punjatama jagata nisi       
                                                            ravi guru vacana prakasa
Nija svarupa vastava milei

Moha=illusion punja=cluster tama=darkness nisi=night ravi=sun vacana=order nija=our svarupa=concious form vastava=true sarasabda=supremesoul
vasa=abode

In this illusionary world full of darkness ,order of sadguru acts as sun to remove the darkness of night. By following the order of sadguru, we realise our own true concious form and  the soul experiences its direct existance within SupremeSoul.

Sara sabda     guru eka hein
                                                            Yaamein bheida na maan
bheida maan bhava kupa pade
                                                            nirabhedi       nirvana

Sara sabda=Supreme soul guru=sadguru yamein=between bheida=difference
bhava kupa = worldly abyss or well nirabhedi=does not differentiate
 nirvana=liberation

Supreme soul and Sadguru are one, do not differentiate between the two. Sadhaka(practioner)who makes distinction between Supreme soul and sadguru falls in the worldly abyss or well. bhakta or devotee who sees sadguru as manifestaion of Supreme soul gets liberated.Understanding Sadguru as Supreme soul and keeping unflinching devotion with total surrender is the correct intellect.

Namo=pray to brahma gurudeva=brahma like sadguru jagata adharam=who sustains the entire cosmos  saccidanand=truth conciosness bliss bhava taram=redeemer from the bondage of world

I pray to brahma like sadguru who sustains the entire cosmos,who is truth,consciousness and bliss, who is the redeemer from the bondage of the world. Bramha and Sadguru have the same form and  have very close pemanent relationship. By praying to Sadguru as brahma form(or Godform) the desciple gets especial benefit.

 Godlike Sadguru,you are master of all,master of all ceation,you are redeemer from this worldly well,you are free from birth and death,eternal and unchanging. You pervade all creation in indivisible form.Your sadhana of bramhavidya is extremely secret,it cannot be obtained or learnt by studing veda. Sadhana of Brahmavidya is learnt only by surrounding oneself to Sadguru,it cannot comprehended by studing all the spiritual texts.                                        
           

Brahmavidya guru adi

Hey guru!, you are the eternal guru of brahmavidya. You propagate this knowledge for the benefit of all worldly souls. Even the trideva, bramhaa, vishnu and mahesha cannot have knowledge of this science without your mercy, what to tell about ordinary human beings.

Nature is manifested in all its various forms and all souls are trapped in the net of  nature. Devas, humans ,philosophers, yaksa, kinnaras and all other types of beings are trapped in nature and are tossed in this worldly ocean. It seems to be very difficult for them to get out of this.

All efforts done by soul at the level of sensory organs, inert four organs, ten pranas,eight chakras are all karmas. All these efforts are illusions. It is impossible to realise God through these efforts. Supremesoul is beyond all manifestations of nature.Therefore all karmas bind the soul,make soul wander in varios bodies and suffer immense pain.

Sadgurudeva bestows mercy on those souls who surrender to him and  he makes them realise Supremesoul in a moment and destroy their illusions. Sadguru is all merciful,shows mercy on all souls but those souls who surrender to him, he makes them realise the immortal abode in a moment.

In world there is no commonality of views with regard to form and formless.Supreme Soul is different  from both,it has concious form which is directly perceived by souls.

Ajnana vas'a adhara prabhu taji

O lord! I have left your concious support due to ignorance, because of which I have fallen from your concious abode and I gradually took bodies of Kaivalya,Mahakarana, karana, skushma and sthula. Since then I have channelised my desires in search  of worldly objects. Freedom(Mukti) is state of knowledge and even some faintest of illusion of assuming oneself(soul) as the creator causes the soul to be covered by ego, this is the Kaivalya body. When the ego becomes firmer then the soul takes on the Mahakarana body and gradually takes further the Karana, sukshma and sthula bodies. Now the soul is not in direct with the conciousness of the lord and between the soul and the lord these bodies of nature entangle the soul. Efforts of the soul through these gross appendages are called karmas. In these lines the soul is acceptingits mistakes and describing its pitiful state.

O lord! If I only had knowledge why would I have turned away from your concious support. I would have instead reversed my flow of conciousness from worldly sorrows towards you.
