Shree Vallabh deesh ki Jai
Sashtang dandvat to Je Je.
Please accept my humble apologies, as it seems the very posting in itself has casued ati Shram to Aapshree.
I seek permission from Aapshree and hereby clarify myself.
Before I proceed, this calrification is to only remove the confusion and not to contradict or present another point of view other than Shree Vallabhkuls vachnamrut.
The word Havelis seem to have caused the first confusion. Well, the word was used with respect to the present day use of the very word, were in it has lost its essential incorporation in to the Marga, were in during the initial times, it represented the Home of Shree Vallabhkul. However, today the word is used to represent places/venues other than Vallbhkul homes too.
Further the very query raised is to highlight the need for Gurha seva.
As gracefully mentioned by Aapshree....
so...HAVELIS exist from more than 475 yrs,and HAVELIs are our existance,HAVELIs are the institute by itself where Vaishnavs can learn how to perform gruha sewa in their houses!
yes,but I agree that if vaishnavs are coming to haveli and even after watching & learning everything...not performing gruha sewa (it doesnt matter if sewa is performed on a small or big scale),then their guilty concious should bite them!
Today it is common knowledge to all of us that Gruha seva is a fast deminishing phenomenon. And the purpose of this topic is only to highlight the fact that the the emergence of Havelis, in what ever form, is not to repalce Gruha seva, but only to become knowledge centres.
I take this opportunity to clairfy the fact that this topic and the postings made by me here in are not to oppose the coming up of Havelis, but more importantly to stree the fact that as a Vasihanv one should seek knowledge, guidance and learn the finer nuances of the seva form them, and not to deviate from Gruha seva. Havelis are notand cannot become replecement centres to Gruha seva.
Which the very reason that while in the first line I have said....Dagar Dagar pe Mandir bhaye, in the eight line I have also said...
Shree Vallabh Vallabh har disha, Vallabhkul karenge hanro bachaav
again pointing to the very Havelis but this time in a different perception... that of them being the points of margdarshan saving us and guiding us in our understanding and performing of SEVA.
I humbly request Je Je to accept my apologies once again and be graceful enough to offer further clarification and do marg darshan.
In the words Mahaprabhuji,....Jeevaha swabhaav to dushta, dosha bhaavaya sarvada.
Je Je, hum to Jeev matra hai, aur doosht bhi hai, bus aaphi ki krupa se hum sahi rah pe chal sakhat hai.
Humari yah namra vinanti hai, Aap sadhaiva humpar aisi krupa varsha avashya karte rahein.
Sashtang Dandvat pranam.
