Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

            Here by this topic, we very beautifully understand the importance of our ShriGurudwar. Seva Prakaar, and also the teachings we should always try to grab from our ShriGurucharan. One thing is true that we cannot do satsang with our ShriGurucharan, but only take the benefits of the Gudh vaani of ShriMahaprabhuji from the ShriMukh of our ShriGurucharan, but for digesting that Gudh Vaani, that vaani should be understood properly and in the right manner, and shall be done that vaani's satsang to the Sweeyan-Bhaktaan. And not to all.

   May my posting be differrent from the original post, but i posted this because to show the importance of our ShriGurucharan and ShriGurudwar.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

   To ur answer of Monicaji, there r 2 Pushtimargiya Dwar Peeths, 1st The Pratham Laalji of ShriGusaiji i.e. ShriGiridharji's Vansh of the Pratham peeth, and the 2nd is the Second Lalji of ShriGusaiji i.e. ShriGovindji's i.e. dwitiya peeth. Pratham peeth is at ShriNathdwar in the service of Shrinathji bavashri and ShriNavnitpriyaji here we usually call the peethadhishwar of prahtam peeth as the Tilkayat Shri, and the Dwitiya peeth is in the service of ShriVitthalnathji, where in this temple, the baithakji of ShriHariraicharan is there.

    ShriNavnitpriyaji and Shrinathji are the sevya swaroops of Pratham Peeth, but it doesn't mean that there is the categorising of ranking of swaroop first or second or third. Because if we look to the historical idol of swaroop, then ShriGokulnathji (chaturhtbhuj swaroop with 2 shriswaminiji's) is more prachin, which was been served by the father-in-law of ShriMahaprabhuji, and this was in the panchayatan pooja, from the family tradition. So don't make difference between the purushottam-tatva of shrithakurji's, may be shrinathji bava, shrinavnitpriyaji, or any of the pushtimargiya swaroop, being served by ShriMahaprabhuji, ShriGusaiji, by ShriSaptaacharyas, and also from that time till today's other Mahanubhaav AAcharyas and the present Vallabhkul balaks, and also the sevya of a sevak-vaishnava. The purushottam-tatva in any of the pushtimargiya swaroop (according to shrimahaprabhuji) neither more nor less. With respect to Tatva, all those swaroopas in which purushottam aavirbhav is done are considered as "Nidhi" for the sevak-vaishnav from whom the swaroop has been made pusht. So, for the individual vaishnav (Vallabhkul-Vaishnav or Sevak-Vaishnav), their own sevya swaroop is definitely considered as Nidhi.

     There is no fix system for any of the gruh-dwar that the seva prakaar carried forward for ShriNavnitpriyaji is the only prakaar. It had changed to each and every Gruh-Dwar. Sometimes it do happens that we r far distance from our shrigurucharan, from whom we had taken diksha, as we r far for the reason of earnings, or may be the family. But if we had made ShriGuru, then it is better to be in touch with our Guru-dwar. From the Vaartas of 84, and 252, we find that the Bhagwadiyas did the seva with different ways, considering the concept and aagyna of shrimahaprabhuji as "SEVA KRUTIR GURORAAGYNA BANDHANAM VAA HARICHAYA". So ShriGuru's aagyna at the starting phase, and then slowly to the wish of own sevya shriprabhu.

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

     Monicaji, i don't think so that if Pizza offered to Shrithakurji might be any problems, but as said by Jigarshah, that why to offer raddish, tomatoes, or onion-garlic (non-pushtimargiya menus), pizza can be prepared without using these also. And that also self-prepared. Ofcourse prabhu's sukh comes first then us, as we r sevaks and he is the maalik, So the things prepared should be for the sukh of maalik. ShriMahaprabhuji gave aagyna in the Vaarta of Krishnadas Meghan in the reply of the query of the question that What did shrithakurji like the most? ShriMahaprabhuji gives orders : ShriThakurji is the Bhokta of Uttam Vastu. So if some vaishnav offers the pizza as the best Vastu for his/her own shriprabhu then i don't think will be a problem.

Can a vaishnav offer “Home made pizza” to his/her Thakorji?

Jai Jai ShriGokulesh,

          Just referring to this topic, One thing should be understood that WHen we offer Roti, Paratha, nan, Baati r been prepared from the flour of Wheat, etc. So even Bread is been prepared from flour, So Pizza itself is been prepared from flour. If these things r eatables, then why not Pizza (home-made, self prepared)?

             When i was going through a dharma Granth of our Sanatan religion named Dharma Sindhu,  i found 1 query's reply, which Monicaji u said for the flowers,. Here below i m quoting it.

     "Which flowers r liked by ShriVishnu? ----> the flowers of Malati, Jaay, Ketaki, Mogara, Ashok, Champo, PUnnag, Bolsari, Kund, Kamal, Kaner, Patla (padal) and Tagar,  are been liked by ShriVishnu. Bt more liked are Aghado, Bhangaro, Kher, Shani, Durva, Kush, Davana, and Tulsi-Patra (which all are shrubs). And from these all More liked one is Tulsi."             (source ;; dharma sindhu granth)

      If we talk for fruits, like cherries, peach, papaiyas (may be normal or hybrid), strabberies, don't find any problems as eatables. It depends on the person's own wish.
