BHAJAN EKAANT RUS HANS NIRE DHEERE-----------------------There are several methods to be blessed by the supreme personality of godhead. Meditation, sankirtan, padya sewa, aatam samparapan ,reading the scriptures like Ramayan, Geeta ,Bhagwatam, Purans etc These scriptures have prescribed methods of jiana yoga, karam yoga, sankhaya yoga, raj yoga etc. but bhakti yoga is considered to be the best method to meditate on him because it is easier than the other methods.
In bhakti yoga one can relate Krishna as his son, friend, father, brother, husband or lover.
Nearly five hundred years ago swami shri Hari das ji has given us a very unique and easy method to be always be in the company of shi Bihari Biharniji which is the biggest blessing for the fortunate people of kaliyuga. The saints had spent thousands of years in deep meditation and tough austerities but were unable to have even a glimpse of that beautiful roop of the Lord and here we are the few lucky ones whom Swamiji has chosen to even know about this secret because even now only few devotees will have faith in swami’s nikunj leela. A swan will only drink milk and will leave the water. The couplet above means that a swan will drink only ksheer that is milk and will leave the neer which means water.
In the same way if we adopt this easy method there is no doubt at all that we get an entry in to the nikunj leela for which even brahmaji, shiva and other devtas are always trying their best but are not able to do so because one must have a human form to understand this unique opportunity. In this first of all one has to have the blessings of shri Hari dasji and must give up any kind of selfishness or self gratification.. The moment one takes the sankalpa to abide by the rules of nikunj leela shri Hari Das ji will kindly bestow his blessings on that seeker. The first condition for the seeker is devotion, sincerity and love for the divine couple. Once that happens all doubts are automatically vanished.
In the words of swami Biharni dasiji who was a great saint of this sampradaya, out of the entire spiritual master’s no one can match shri Hari Das ji because he is one guru who has given sakshtaar darshan to his devotees and has shown them nikunj leela not after death but while living in the human form.
Swami shri Hari Das ji was the incarnation of Lalita sakhi who is always engrossed in the services of the divine couple. She is the most intimate friend in the Nikunj and is ever ready to make the couple happy and blissful by planning out their various pastimes. It is on their instructions only that she incarnated herself as Hari Dasji in order to help the sincere devotees of Banke Bihari. Lalita sakhi is always witnessing their keli leela, where other sakhi’s have also been assigned different sevas such as making garlands for them, playing the mridang, mazira, serving food, fanning them with a chamver etc. The sakhi’s are also known as sahchari’s and their only job is to make the nikunj leela more and more blissful for the duo. They must always be alert to see the mood of Bihari Biharniji and must go in rhythm with their bliss. Haridas ji is the bestower of all blessings to those who wish to be a part of the keli leela of Bihariji. He has the key for the entry of this enchanting place. Biharnidas, one of the direct disciple of swamiji, had a wonderful experience in the smadhi state which he has mentioned in one of the poems composed by him, ‘Oh sakhi, the other day, when I touched swamiji’s feet, He put his hand on my head. The magnetic touch of Swamiji was so powerful that I was almost flabbergasted by the bliss and I felt that he has applied a tilak on my forehead and placed a crown on my head as though I became a part of the nikunj leela, because by his grace the nikunj leela was revealed to me. There I Saw Bihariji and Biharniji seated on a beautiful throne decorated with flowers and the sakhi’s were busy doing seva. Both were a perfect combination where Bihariji was smiling at Biharniji with slightly a bashful glance. Oh my dear sahchari swamiji is so compassionate, considerate and big hearted that he is ever ready to grant this bliss to anyone who seeks it at his holy feet. The moment a devotee takes his refuge he grants the boon of not only pure devotion but also washes away the sins of such people. All their worries and problems are taken care of and the conditioned souls become absolutely pure and they get involved with the prem leela.
No one is given an entry in the nikunj mahal without His consent. The yogi’s and saints who want to be one with the Lord have to undergo so many austerities, penance, sacrifice and meditation for many years but if one takes the refuge of Swamiji, he gets Bihariji’s grace so effortlessly. Swami ji gives the devotees the juice of the ripe fruits without any peels or seeds. If he blesses a devotee, he holds his hand and hands him over to Biharniji who has promised her Lalita sakhi to accept any devotee recommended by her.Swami Lalit Kishori a sahchari of the nikunj leela has composed a namawali of swami Haridas in which he expressed his devotion for swamiji as follows, ‘Till I breath I would go on chanting shri hari das who is in my life and soul just as there is fragrance in the flowers, I would go on singing shri Haridas shri hari das so that I am entitled to the love of Bihari Biharniji. I will be totally engrossed in shri haridas, I would merge my life with shri Haridasji only. If I have any concern in the world, it will be none other than shri Haridas. I would like to do nothing else but chant the name of shri hari das only. Every day, every night, shri Haridas will be my only prayer, My association and with whom only I would like to converse is only swami shri hari dasji. Shri Haridasji is my strength, my mind, my family and my caste and creed. Only when I meet shri haridas I get comfort, without his blessings there is no peace in my mind, without the love of Haridas I do not relish any daily pray, it is only due to Haridas ji that I can be entitled to the nikunj mahal, Haridas ji is my duty, he is my dharma, he is my knowledge, he is my subject of meditation,, he is my japa, puja and without him I can not even imagine any other bhav. He is my bhakti and my whole redeemer and savior. I would always sing his glories and pray for his darshan and his nectoral bliss of nikunj mahal.
