In  all Divine writings ,  you  shall find   mention of word  PARIKAR  . So sometimes you would be wondering  what is a Parikar ? A parikar is Group of   Associates  or  Divinities that usually accompany   whenever an incarnation in form of God or   Mahatma appears on Earth so that His leela / Saints'   time  on Earth  is purposeful and  subtle.......January 2007 special edition is just wonderful   . For example ,
 
 
i) whenever  Guru of  all of us Lord Shiva    does some leela  ,  His  Divine Consort Maa  Parvatji , Lord Ganesha  ,  
Kartikeyaji , Nandi , mountain Kailash  are always present .
 
Revered  Great Saint Ushaji     believed that Sri Shivji is PARAMGURU , guru of all Vaishnavas . One day when a person specifically asked Her , who`s her GURU & She kept mum , Lord Siva appeared before Her & touched Her forehead with His trident or TRISHUL confirming Her faith in Him as well as His acceptance of Her as a disciple . It`s Sri Shivji only who goes as Madari in Ayodhya at Sri Ramjanam or at Gokul as Sadhu Baba on Sri Krishanjanam . Who can be more humble as well as GREATER than Sri Shivji ?...   let us bow to lotus feet of GITAJI , Ramayana and Bhagwatam most humbly
 
 
ii) Brahma-Vishnu -Mahesh is  ADI-parikar i.e.  Trimurti referred in all holy scriptures since times immemorial. 3  divine scriptures    GITAJI , Ramayana and Bhagwatam   is also   ADI-parikar   in book-form to indicate a God-realised person  and  Lord Sri Krishna is very happy whenever.......  In Lord Vishnu 's Vaikuntha ( total 27 links for Sri Vishnu Sahastranam )  , Goddess Laxmi (  shopping-guide for Diwali  ) , Sheshnaag  (  Lord Balramji )  , security guards Jai-Vijay  are always present while sage Naradji , Sanak-Sananandan etc  often go for Vishnuji's Darshan ...  pearl no. 3 from Srimad Bhagwatam 


This  ADI-PARIKAR  is evident when Lord Krishna shows  His Vishroop-Darshan ( cosmic form ) to Arjuna in Chapter XI of GITAJI  .  Arjuna sees
 
 
iii) at the time of   Lord Rama      , Bharat-Shatrughan-Laxmanji - Lord Hanumaan   also took incarnation . Millions of years later   sage Yagvalkyaji   and  Goswami Tulsidassji   , eulogized Him so well .....after listening to Sunderkand at CHITRAKOOT
 
iv) at the time of     Lord Krishna  ("KRISHNAM VANDE JAGADGURU" )
    , 
Lord Balramji,   Shukdevji  Maharaj  , Udhavji  , Arjuna ,     , king Parikshit also took birth .Similar    is true of ,    sage Vedvyasji ;   ancient Acharya Ramanujacharyaji    ;  ancient Acharya Madhvacharyaji ; ancient Acharya Vallabhachryaji and ancient Acharya Nimbarkacharyaji   and  ADI SHANKRACHARYAJI  
 
In Vrindavan, Lord Sri Krishna  has taken form of Sri Bihariji or Sri Radhavallabh or Sri Radharamanji . In Pushti Sampraday of  ancient Acharya Vallabhachryaji on GITAJI  , He' s loved as Sri Nathji . Who can speak the HIGHEST glory of Sri Radhaji ? SHE is the Paramacharya or Rasguru of all Rasik Bhaktas ..3 in 1 are Sri Radha Ramanji's darshan 
 
Sri Vrindavan Dham includes Sri Yamunaji, Sri Girirajji , Barsana, Nandgaon , Gokul, Mahavan, Kaamvan etc i.e. the whole BRAJ of 84 kos  .  Sri  Krishna Karnamrit   is  a Sanskrit  stotra of   112 verses  in praise of Lord Krishna... Sakhaji's blessings on 30th July , Boboji's b'day

In fact , if Sri Rambhaktas find immense pleasure in Chitrakoot , Ayodhaya, Saryuji , Nandigram etc., the Shiva devotees cherish Holy Kailash, Ganges, Rishikesh ,Kedarnath , 12 Jyotirlings , Narmadaji ,etc. very much . The general pilgrims enjoy 4 world-famous Dhams ( Dwarka, Badrinath, Sri Jagannath Puri & Rameswaram ) .
 
v)  at the time of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu  , Nimai-Haridassji , Srivasji , Adwaitacharyaji Maharaj  ( whose  disciple  was  Vijaykrishanji Goswami and then  Maa Mani  .. a devotee of Jagannath Puri and Bandhu Jagadmitra)  etc  also took birth. His contemporaries include  Saint Gyaneshwarji Namdevji Maharaj ; Samarth Ramdasji Maharaj ; Saint Meera Bai ancient Acharya Vallabhachryaji on GITAJI etc.
 
vi) at the time of  Swami Ramakrishan Paramhans ., sublime Swami Vivekananda ., Brahmananda etc  also took incarnation . Also Vijaykrishanji Goswami  in  Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu  tradition  ( whose  disciple  was   Maa Mani  ..a devotee of Jagannath Puri  and Bandhu Jagadmitra) and His contemporaries    Loknath Brahmchari , Lahiri Mahshya , Charandass Babaji etc.
 
vii) In the beginning of 20 th Century , under direct  instructions of Lord Vishnuji , Seth Goenkaji , Sri Hanuman Prasad Poddarji   , Sri Radha Baba  started an institution Gita Press or Kalyan  ,  Gorakhpur so divine & wonderful that many saints have come out of it e.g. Swami Ramsukhdassji Maharaj  of GITA-DARPAN  fame. Contemporary  Saints  include Sitaram Onkarji Maharaj -- Brahamleen Devaria Baba---Rev. Anandmayi Maa –Maa Mani  ..a devotee of Jagannath Puri , Raman maharishi ---Hari Baba –Oriya Baba –Bare Baba –Sri Laxmanjoo Maharaj of Kashmir –Sri Gayaprasad Panditji - Sri Sripad Baba ---Bhaktmaliji –Teen Kauri Babaji – Ananddass Baba –Nanagaru-Swami Hitdassji Maharaj---Lalitacharan Goswami---Maan Anandibai .Asaramji--Parthasarthyji—Murari Bapu—Dongreji—Pt Ramkinkarji---Rambhadracharyaji—Trilok Mohanji –Sudhanshuji Maharaj ---Bhagwatkar Bhattji  so and so on ....
 
viii) at the time of  Swami Sivanandaji of Divine Life Society , Rishikesh,  His  most  able disciples like  Swami Paramanananda ; Swami Chidananda ; Swami Krishnananda ;Swami Krishnananda ;Swami Venkatesananda;Swami Dayananda;Swami Madhavananda;Swami Vishnudevananda;Swami Chinmayananda;Swami Satyananda;Swami Satchidananda ;Swami Jyotirmayananda;Swami Sivananda-Hridayananda;Swami Premananda;Swami Devananda  ;Dr. Devaki
Kutty Mataji
  etc also  appeared on this Earth.  
 
ix)  at the time of  20th Century's Lord Chaitanya : Sri Maharajji , His  famous disciples like  Affectionate Saint : Sri Manohar Baba or Ghanshyamji jayanti celebrated  also appeared on earth

 

x)  at the time of  Great Saint Ushaji ,  Saint Susheelaji  , poojya Dharamji ( at holy feet of poojya Dharam Bahinji ) , Santoshji ( on 15th Nov , 2005 ) or Manohar Bhaiyaji (Affectionate Saint : Sri Manohar Baba )or  Lalitji  ( 21st book is ........ )- Pushpa (Grover )---Vimla – (Neyvil) –Lalit(Babhuta ) -Sheel Bahinjis , all Aunties & Vijayji—Bihari Bhai-Banwari  Bhai
also appeared  . 

 
 This was pre-destined as from 1954 , Sakhaji ( from Divine Golok ) 's arrival became regular so this trio  of  Ushaji -Susheelaji -Dharamji  used to enjoy the divine bliss of Leelas as friends..... Modern Meerabai : Saint Ushaji  
 
Now you will ask  who is SAKHAJI ? SAKHAJI  is   a divinity of  Golok  , who  had first appeared before  Saint Ushaji -Bahinji   on   Saint Ushaji's b'day  ( 30th July , 1954 ) and started imparting  Lord Sri Krishna leelas  to innermost circle of devotees popularly called  PARIKAR In  fact , her  divine  incidents with Thakurji  reveal  that  a sort  of    Acharya Vallabhachryaji  -Goswami Tulsidassji- Soordass  Bhakti-yuga was   re-enacted  in Bobo era too ( 30th July 1925 to  20th Feb 1992 ) .... Before TEACHERS' DAY . When  great Devotees  of  Lord  take incarnation , they  generally  come in a Parikar or  Divine Group  so  that  time spent  on Earth  is not with  worldly people  but  in  Real Spiritual  Satsang  . To quote from The Divinised Humanity : Saint Ushaji :
 
"Her birth on 30th July , 1925 ------surprisingly, it is the SRAVAN month, which had the privilege to bring Rev. Ushaji on this corporeal land. And again, it is the same day and month when Sakhaji- a divine personality in celestial form, advents in the life of Ushaji to reveal esoteric secrets of Golokdham"  10 am to 11 am diary 4 of Divinity personified - Great Saint Ushaji
 
 
The above mentions that  Saint Ushaji's b'day is also appearance day of   Sakhaji , a divinity from Golok , who   became medium   to  Lord Sri Krishna leelas  to innermost circle of devotees popularly called  PARIKAR.  Thus on Her  82nd b'day  on 30th July  , 2007  following wordings were also recited by most revered Susheela Bahinji  before those present   :-----
 
SADA  NAAH KE NEH MEIN , PAGI RAHO DIN RAIN ,
ROOP RASASAV MUTT NIT , RAHHIN PRAN MUN NAIN ,
VE TUM PE RIJHE RAHAIN , TUM UNMEIN SARSAHU ,
PREM NEM RAS REEJH KO  , HOHAHINH  NITYA NIBHAU 
 
i.e.  may divine   love of Lord Sri Krishna   be   with us always  !  More interested readers may open page 348 of  LEELA RAS TARANGINI (  part IInd ) for more details 

   21st book is ........)
 

 
That is , the list can be endless –it all depends on one's BHAVNA .Let's be humble & bow to the holy feet of all of them as so beautifully explained in the Holy Granth BHAKTAMAAL --"Bhakt, Bhagwant , Guru ...................." 
 
The above referred Great Saint Ushaji    of   http://hariharji.com/  fame    had renunciation at early age  and remained   thereafter  throughout life at holy Dham Vrindavan. Her  Ishtdev was  Lord Radha Krishna  but Guru Shivji . By launching  site on  Her , we propose to bring  Her sublime ideals  before the devotional world .

  Saint  Ushaji was  affectionately called elder sister ( BOBOJI ) by Her Devotees . She was  a rare, unique  Mahatma that believed in all  branches of Sanatan  Dharma .  More than a Saadhu  or saint , she was an institution in Herself  engrossed in  divine nectar  of Lord Radha-Krishna leelas . Like 
Goswami Tulsidassji    500 years ago , She was Unity Personified between Shaivs & Vaishnavas and  had great reverence for  not only Gitaji & Bhagwatam but also Ramayana , Shankracharyaji's  stotarams etc. ...Vrindavan-GOVERDHAN-BARSANA-NANDGAON diary of Divinity personified - Great Saint Ushaji
 
 
Be it   Swami Vivekananda     or    Swami Sivanandaji of Divine Life Society , Rishikesh  or Swami Ramdevji's tour to USA , UK in July-Aug , 2008  , on every TV channel  now there  is emphasis on getting much early before sunrise  for better  health & wisdom    and  Saint Ushaji  was practicing it since  1931  i.e. from Her childhood days. And Gitaji says  MAHAJANA  SA PANTHA i.e.  Her followers also developed same habit of rising early and start the day with  Lord Sri Hari's names . Chanting  of  following Mahamantra  day & night  ( without a second break )  was  Her  greatest  virtue 
 
 
Hare   Ram Hare Ram,   Ram Ram Hare Hare ;
 
Hare Krishan Hare Krishan,  Krishan Krishan Hare Hare
 
 
 
and  let  all of us  most humbly  bow at  Saint Ushaji's Holy feet  for  sinceremost devotion to Thakurji  ,  His   pious  naam  ,  24 hour  sewa ,  Vrindavan Dham  and Yamunaji .
