Pavitropana

Chanakya 
Says
satyam mata pita jnanam
dharmo bhrata daya sakha
santih patni ksama putrah
sadete mama vandhavah
  1. Truth is my mother, 
  2. Knowledge is my father, 
  3. My occupational duty is my brother, 
  4. Kindness is my friend, 
  5. Tranquility is my wife, and 
  6. Forgiveness is my son.
These six are my family members.

Today, Jagadguru Shreemad Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhu obtained Brahmasambandha Mantra from Bhagwan Shree Krishna. On obtaining this Diksha (Initiation) Mantra, apshri brought in order the system of initiation and the spiritual course for the disciples for Pushti Bhakti. 

Lord Shree krishna saw that the life of beings whom he had created for performing his pushti bhakti was wasted away. So he ordained Shreemad Vallabhacharya Mahaprabhu (Shree Krishnasya, Vadananavtaar of Lord Shree krishna) to manifest the sampraday i.e. sect of his pushti bhakti and to uplift Pushti beings who were down away in the flow of the time. The Path of devotion and resort of Shree Krishna which Shree Vallabhacharya proclaimed is known as Pushti Bhakti Sampraday – the devotional path of ‘Pushti’ i.e. Lord’s grace.

Each year all the vaishnavs around the world adorn their Thakurjis with pavitra on this day. The reason behind the figure 360 is simple.Shrinathji has said that whoever adorns me with a pavitra on pavitra ekadashi gets the ‘laabh’ of doing the seva of 365 days of the year. Each thread in a pavitra signifies one day’s seva. So no matter if you are unable to do seva round the year. Experienced vaishnavas prepare pavitra at home.

In A.D.1492 on the next day (i.e. Pavitra Baaras) Shree Damodardas Harsaniji adorned his Guru Shree Vallabhacharyaji with a pavitra. Thus its a tradition that today all vaishnavs adorn their Guru with a pavitra before taking prasad.

All Vaishnavs are invited to attend this special satsang and thus celebrate the “Prardurbhav” of Pushti Sampraday.
