Jai Shri Krishna,

Pending question

Which vallabhkul balak had most interest in Nand Mahotsav ?? and was sometimes even referred as incarnation of Nand Mahotsav ?

It was Shri Balkrishnalalji and his sevya swaroop was Shri Dwarkadishji.

He was born on Bhadrapad Vadi Teras in Adel on Vikram Samrat 1606. In 1614 He was given the upvit sanskar at Adel. On account of his sharp memory, he studied the books of Shri Mahaprabhuji and also did the comparative study of other religions with the study of the books of the Pushti Marg and other shastras.

He was only 17 years of age when he got married to Shrimati Kamalavatiji Vahuji at Adel. He had 6 sons and one daughter. His sons names were Shri Dwarkeshji, Shri Vrajnathji,Shri Vrajbhushanji,Shri Pitamberji, Shri Vrajlankarji,and Shri Purshottamji and the daughter was Shri Gopadevibetiji

Once Shri Balkrishnaji recited a prayer before Shri Yamunaji and this one came to be known as " Sapna Drusht Svamini Stotra" Other Granths as folls: Bhakti Vardhini Vivrutti Prasad Vagish Bhashya Vivaran and Shri Sarvottam stotra Vivrutti.

There are two Baithaks One in Gokul and the other is gupt ,secondly Shri Gusainji used to call him Rajiv Lochan as his eyes were dark like rain clouds even Shri Nathji used to like his eyes very much.

It is said that He merged into the pithika of Shri Dwarkadish Prabhu. He was very much interested in Nand Mahotsav. One day when he was on the terrace of the temple with all his brothers and Shri Gusainji, he watched the Nand mahotsav going on in the temple. He was so engrossed in it that he forgot himself and jumped down in the temple and began to sing "Nand Ghar Anand Bhayo, Jaya Kanaiya Lalji" He had attained such a state of love for and attachment to God that many a time he would forget himself while embellishing Shri Dwarkadish, really he was the incarnation of "Nand Mahotsav" He did leela pravesh In Vikram Samvat 1650.

Jai Shri Krishna,

Good to see you after a long time Kavitaji that reminds me to tell some stories for your smart, intelligent and beautiful daughters. I hope they are doing fine.

Well here we go Vallabhi Vaishnavs. There are many reasons why Shri Krishna appears in this world. Presented below are some of the reasons why He descents to this material world in His original form as Shri Krishna.] The External Reasons

1) Austerities performed by Prsni and Sutapa

Prsni and Sutapa performed aradhana (austerities) to Lord Visnu for many
thousands of years. When Lord Visnu became pleased and appeared to them out of His causeless mercy, they pleaded with Him, “We want a son like Yourself.”
Bhagavan (The Supreme Lord) responded, “No one is equal or superior to
Me. If you desire a son like Me then I will have to come Myself.”
So Prsni and Sutapa became in their next birth, Devaki and Vasudeva
and Krishna became their son in Mathura.”

2) Austerities perfomed by Drona and Dhara

Drona and Dhara performed austerities to Brahmaji for many years, and
Brahmaji appeared to them. At that time, they prayed to Brahmaji that,
“We want to have vatsalya bhava (mood of parental affection) for Bhagavan.”
Being pleased with their austerities, Brahma replied, “Yes, it will be arranged.” Consequently, Drona and Dhara advented as Nanda Maharaja and Yasoda Maiya in Vrndavana. They attained vatsalya bhava for Krishna.

Is that enough or you girls need more?????

We need more more and more please !!!!

OK ----- I heard your sweet voice so will say a few more

3)Ratnamala, the daughter of Bali Maharaja

Lord Vamanadeva came in the form of a dwarf to trick Bali Maharaja – He
asked for a donation of only three steps of land.
Bali Maharaj said “You are a dwarf so Your feet are so small. You can
ask me for anything like a kingdom.” Vamanadeva said; “No I am a brahmacari (celibate). I am always satisfied. I want to make a bhajan kutir (small hut for performing devotional service). I only want a small piece of land. Seeing the beauty and form of Vamanadeva, Ratnamala, the
daughter of Bali Maharaja, became very attracted, “Oh if I had a son like Him, I shall feed Him with my breast milk.” Vamanadeva, seeing her
desire, granted her wish within His mind. After that, Bali Maharaj granted Vamandeva wish of three steps of land. Vamanadeva assumed His universal form and took the whole universe in only two steps and tied
up Bali Maharaja. Seeing the activities of Vamandeva tricking her father
and taking all his kingdom, Ratnamala became very angry and exclaimed “Oh if I had a son like You I shall put poison on my breasts and kill you.” Vamanadeva again seeing her desire, granted her wish. So Ratnamala became Putana in Krishna lila and fed baby Krishna the poison on her breasts. So this is another cause of Krisna’s advent – to fulfil the desire of Ratnamala.

Ok Ok one more before I go to sleep

4) ) Surpanakha – the sister of Ravana

Lord Ramachandra was in exile for 14 years with His wife Sita and
brother Laksmana. One day, Surpanaka, the sister of the demon king Ravana, seeing the beauty of Lord and became so charmed that she wanted to marry Him. Lord Ramachandra said : “Oh it is not possible for Me. I already have a wife and I took a vow to have only one wife. It is better you go to My brother Laksmana. We are a royal family so if you marry My brother, you will get the respect of a queen.” She went to Laksmana with her request. Laskmana responded : “I am a servant, if you marry Me, you will be a maidservant. If you marry Lord Rama, you will be queen.” She went to Lord Rama again, and Rama told, “Oh no, it is not possible. Go to Laksmana.” She went to Laksmana again and Laksmana again rejected her. She became very upset “They are both rejecting me. The main cause is Sita. If I kill Sita, Rama is bound to marry me.” So she attacked Sita. Rama told Laksmana to cut her nose and ears and Laksmana did so. Surpannakha had strong desire for Ramachandra. In the pastimes of Shri Krishna, she became Kubja and she met with Lord Krishna and received His benediction.

We need more so one or two more please !!!!!!!!

OK -------- OK I heard YOU loud and clear

5)To fulfill the Curse of four Kumaras.

Jaya and Vijaya, the gatekeepers of Vaikuntha, were cursed by the four Kumaras to take three births as demons and to be killed by the Lord. In
their first birth they were Hiranyakasipu and Hiranyaksa and were killed by Lord Narsimha and Lord Varaha respectively. In their second birth
they came as Ravana and Kumbakarna and were killed by Lord Ramachandra. In their third they came as Sisupala and Dantavakra. So Krishna appeared to kill them and they could finish the three lifetimes of demon incarnations and return to Vaikuntha.

6)Krishna's promise to advent given in Shrimad Bhagavat Gita

yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham

Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion--at that time I descend Myself. (Bhagavat Gita 4.7)

paritranaya sadhunam
vinasaya ca duskrtam
dharma-samsthapanarthaya
sambhavami yuge yuge

In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to re-establish the principles of religion, I advent Myself, millennium after
millennium. (Bhagavat Gita 4.8 )


Now will please request other Vallabhi vaishnavs to add more!!!!!

Jai Shree Krishna
and
Jai Jai Shree Gokulesh

Vasantbhai that was a lovely posting nearly covered many aspects and reasons of Krishna's Bhutal Pragatiya. There are many reasons, one is of 1600 sages in Ramavtar desired to marry Shree Rama, and He promised them that he will fulfill their desire in Krishna Avtaar.

Hence, sixteen hundred Gopis and Maharas was borne out of this boon.
