Pavitra Baras Story :
When the divine conversation is going on between Shri Mahaprabhuji & Shri Krishna. meanwhile, Shri Damlaji(Damodardaas Harsaniji) was sleeping near to them. damlaji woke up by this conversation but due to utmost respect towards Aacharyacharan he remained in a sleeping position and kept his eyes closed.
When Shri Krishna disappears after the conversation. Shri Mahaprabhuji waken up Damlaji and & says “Heard anything..?” Damlaji replies with topmost simplicity and respect “Heard but didn’t understand“.
(This shows that understanding the deep meanings of Prabhu’s leela isn’t that easy; only a guru can give us a better understanding of Prabhu’s leela).
By then it was the morning of the second day The Dwadashi. Shri Mahaprabhuji told damlaji to take a bath in Shri Yamunaji. Afterward, Shri Damlaji after taking a bath returned to Shri Mahaprabhu ji.
Shri Mahaprabhuji gave him a Bramhasambandha. And made damlaji a first-ever pushtimargiya Vaishnav. Aacharyacharan says “Damla ! This path is created for you.“
(Shri Damlaji is the representative of all the Vaishnav shrushti which means this Path of grace is created for all the Vaishnvas.)
Afterward, Shri Mahaprabhuji said from now on what so ever I am going to tell you is the letter by letter Prabhu’s statements & Aacharyacharan Created a “Siddhant Rahashya” Granth and gave it to Shri Damlaji.
This way the path which is also older than Bramha was established by Shri Mahaprabhuji. Due to this reason, this is a very auspicious occasion for all pushtimargiya shrushti.
Shri Mahaprabhuji blessed all the jeevs and created this path for purification and reunion with our Prabhu. So that’s why in pushtimarg we celebrate this day as “Pavitra Baras”. On this day all the Vaishnava shrushti offers “Pavitra” to their respective guru who gave them a Bramha Sambandha.
Siddhant Rahashya Granth is available in our Nitya Niyam section. Link is given below.
