Principle Doctrines: As Explained to All Hindu Acharyas

After this, all Acharyas and experts thought that Pran Nath Ji’s soul may be from Param Dham, but since he also holds a perishable body, he must have some specific faith and doctrines on which he based his comments. They asked Pran Nath Ji about twenty questions about the doctrine of the faith he belonged to. Pran Nath Ji answered all these questions, citing references from various Hindu scriptures.

The seeker’s soul should note that Lord Shiva had told this complete Doctrine to his consort Uma, in the Age of Truth, called Satyug upon her request. This can also be found in the scriptures. The following explanation reflects the exact translation from Bitak Saheb. Appropriate scriptural citations have also been included from the Bitak for the reader’s immediate reference. Traditionally, it is called ‘Nijanand School/order’ and is daily recited by all Sundersath devotees and in all of Lord Pran Nath’s temples.

Generally, Hinduism’s doctrines include many different aspects. Most present-day seekers, specifically those from a Hindu background, do not even know about them. However, from a Hindu perspective, they have great significance. The seeker’s soul must understand the deeper meanings behind each one.

  • Sat-Guru:

Oh, great Acharyas! Our True Master or Sat-Guru is ‘Brahmanand‘ – Consort Shyama Ji. Shyama Ji is the chief source of Supreme Bliss or Nijanand. In this world, Consort Shyama Ji descended in the person of Dev Chandra Ji with the perfect Tartam knowledge. Therefore, Shyama Ji is our SatGuru. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Brahma-nandam param sukhdam, Kevalam gyan murtimum |
Dwandateetam gagan sadrusham, tatvamasyadi lakshyam ||

Eko nityam vimalam-chalam, sarvada sakshi rupam |
Bhavateetam trigun rahitam, sadgurum tum namami ||

(Skandh Puran, Guru Gitayam)

  • Sutra:

Oh, great Acharyas! The Supreme Lord’s ‘sat‘ component, Akshar Brahm, who brings the Divine Wisdom of Para Shakti to this world, is our linking media or sutra. This linking media makes us aware of the Aksharateet Supreme Lord and our Nijanand Swaroop. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Yadksharam param brahmn tatsutramiti dharyet |
Suchnaat-sutramityahoo sutram naam param padam |
Tatsutram viditam yen sa vipro vedpaaragaha | 
                                                (Brahmopanishad)

  • Shikha:

Oh, great Acharyas! Our motto is to achieve the Divine Wisdom of the Supreme Brahm and to live it by meditating on the lotus feet or Charan kamal of the Chid-Ghan Swaroop Aksharateet. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Sikha gyaanmayi yasya upavitam cha tanmayam |
Brahmanyam sakalam tasya eati brahmnvido viduhoo ||
Chidev panchabhutani chidev bhuvantrayam || 
                                                        (Brahmopanishad)

  • Sevan:

The Uttam Purusha Aksharateet, who is beyond Kshar and Akshar, is the object of our worship. He is ‘Sat-Chid-Anand’ in the true sense, anadi, imperishable, swa-lila-advaita, param kishor, and yugal. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Dwavimau purushau lokey kshara-sch-akshara eav cha |
Ksharha sarvani bhutani kutastho-aksharaha uchhyatei ||
Uttamaha purusha-stav-anyaha paramatmei-tyu-dahrataha |
                                                (Shrimad Bhag. Gita: 15/16-17)

  • Gotra:

Our lineage, or Gotra, belongs to Shyama Ji, the Blissful component of the Supreme Lord.
Oh, great Acharyas! Please refer to this Sloka of the scripture:
 

Anadimadim chidrupam chidanandam param vibhuhoo |
Vrundavaneshwaram dhyaayet trigunsyek karanam ||

(Varah Samhita)

  • Ishta:

Oh, Acharyas! Param Kishori Consort Shyama Ji is our Ishta through whom we reach our Lord. She first appeared in the person of Shri Radha in the sports of Brij and Raas and then in the person of Nijanand Swami Dev Chandra Ji. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Siddhirupasi charadhya radhika jivanam mam |
Ye smrutva bhavyanti twam tairaham bhavitaha sada ||

Tatra mein vastavam rupam yatra yatra bhavaddrushaha |
Mamestam cha mamatma twam radheiva radhyatey mayaa ||
                                                            (Puran Samhita: 6/36,38)

  • Sadhan:

Oh, Acharyas! Our soul’s devotional tool, or Sadhan, is Pati Vrata. It means that our soul is devoted wholly to the Supreme Lord, like a virtuous and chaste wife who is physically and spiritually devoted to her husband. For this reason, we do not worship other gods and goddesses of this world. Therefore, our method of single-minded devotion is called ‘Pati Vrata’. This is the strongest way to win our Lord’s divine love, and it is called Ishak. Because of our eternal relation or Nisbat, our Ishak is reserved only for Him. Here, one develops and enjoys an exclusive and unparalleled love for the Supreme Lord. Please refer to these Slokas of the scripture:
 

Purusha sa para, Parth bhaktya labhya tu ananya |
                                                    (Shrimad Bhag. Gita:VIII)

Naham vedeiran na tapsa na danena na chejyayaa |
Bhaktya twananyayaa shakya ahamevam vidhoarjuna ||
                                            (Shrimad Bhag. Gita: 11-53,54)
