Shri Devchandra Ji initiated Nijanand Sampradaya while Mahamati Prannath founded Nijanand Sampradaya. Nijanand Sampradaya hence literally meant the religious sector of master Nijanand (the title for Shri Devchandra Ji) himself. However, it is inappropriate to mirror Nijananda Sampradaya as Krishna Pranami Dharma.
(Welcome to Sanandhonline)
About Nijananda Sampradaya (Islam) –
Nijanand Sampradaya is
the religion that was founded and named personally by Mahamati Prannath. Nijanand
Sampradaya, however, was originally initiated by Shri Devchandra Ji (Isa Ruhallah)
in a subtle way. Firstly, the religion began when the reformer of the millennium
(Shri Devchandra Ji) had arrived in this material world as predicted in the sacred
books. Secondly, the faith of Nijanand Sampradaya started taking subtle shape
in the form of few groups of believers when Shri Devchandra Ji had reached the
age of 40. Finally, Nijanand Sampradaya took concrete shape (with proper system) when Mahamati Prannath declared its existence later in Haridwar, India.
It was the Indian year
(Vikram Sambat) of 1735 in Haridwar (MahaKumbh Mela) that there occurred a
religious convention. On the one side, there was Mahamati Prannath along with
the mass of hundreds of his followers. On the other sides, there were many
Hindu sectors, each with their own leaders and followers as well. This
religious convention was about a primary discussion (a healthy conversation) of
whose religious sector was the best and whose god was the supreme god. During
that religious convention, each religious leader of their sector made their own
propositions which were only to be either falsified or proved to be illogical
in the end by Mahamati Prannath.
For example -It was
stated (and believed) that "Brahm (ब्रम्ह)" was
ubiquitous in this world. Mahamati Prannath cross checked them (those who
stated that proposition) by justifying that –
“The world is filled with ignorance and other vices and since light and darkness could not exist at the same time and so does "Brahm" and "Maya (माया)". Therefore, it is not logical to say that "Brahm" is ubiquitous in this world. Moreover, it is "Maya" that is ubiquitous in this world. Opposite to "Maya", "Brahm" is ubiquitous in his realm which is beyond this universe".
Everybody became speechless after that! Thus, the people were curious to know about Mahamati Prannath and the religion that he was in (or was about to be established as Nijanand Sampradaya). It was only then when Mahamati Prannath introduced Nijanand Sampraday to the world for the first time [as revealed below in the verses of "Beetak Sahib"(a manuscript containing the detailed life description of Mahamati Prannath)]
दिब्य ब्रह्म पुर धाम है, घर अक्षरातीत निवास ।
निजानंद है सम्प्रदा, ए उत्तर प्रस्न प्रकास ।।
श्री देवचन्द्र जी निजानंद, जिन प्रगट करी सम्प्रदा ऐह ।
तिनथें हम यह लखी हैं, द्वार पावें अब तेह ।।
Meaning:
That it was निजानंद,
Shree Devchandra ji (श्री देवचन्द्र जी) who
started this religious sector, therefore in the honor of master Nijanand
(Shri Devchandra Mehta), the name of our religion would be Nijanada Sampradaya
- Stated by Mahamati Prannath (in 1735 in Hardwar, India)
Nijanand Sampradaya hence
literally meant the religious sector of master Nijanand (the title for
Devchandra Mehta) himself. 'Sampradaya' is a Hindi word for sector (before that
religious convention Mahamati Prannath and this religion were totally unknown
and unheard and also limited within few selected peoples). Most importantly, Nijanand Sampradaya was established within the framework of Hinduism as a peculiar sector.
The legacy of Nijanand Sampradaya began to flourish within India from then on. Only before some few decades, the people of the world started perceiving/calling this religion as "Pranami Sampradaya" or otherwise "Krishna Pranami Dharma". However, it is inappropriate to mirror Nijananda Sampradaya as "Krishna Pranami Dharma". It is because Mahamati Prannath, never uttered the words "Krishna Pranami Dharma" as his established faith. Nijananda sampradaya is not the faith of the devotees of Krishna or any other Demigods or deities eventhough it was established within the boundaries of Hinduism. It is strictly a monotheistic faith that believes in Mahamati Prannath as the Supreme Lord himself who simply came for the spiritual awakening.
The numbers of followers of Nijananda Sampradaya are extremely few till this date (like finding a needle in the pile of haystacks). These followers follow every commandment of Mahamati Prannath and put them in action into their real lives. Those are the peoples who I refer to as Mommins in my blog.
Major practices in Nijanand Sampradaya :
1. Monotheistic belief in the one Supreme God (aka Aksharaateet) who has a divine form that is youth, indestructible, and unbounded by time in his own divine realm which is beyond this material world.
2. Paramdham (or Aksharaateet's
abode) is our true spiritual home.
3. We consider Shree
Kuljam Swaroop (the revelations of Mahamati Prannath) as living
conscious deity instead of merely a book. Therefore, we devote ourselves in the
divine unconditional service of Kuljam Swaroop as we contemplate it as another form of Aksharaateet
in this material world. However, any other idols, pictures, tombs, animate
or inanimate objects are strictly prohibited for worship. Simply, Mahamati Prannath's
glory exceeds everything else in this material world.
4. Smoking, consumption of tobacco, meat, fish, eggs and meat related products, alcohol or drugs of any kind is strictly prohibited. Furthermore, apart from following a life style of vegetarianism and non-violence, everyone is encouraged to live the life of a Sadhak (a spiritualist rather than materialist).
5. We expect to practice higher
level of moral behavior ourselves and expect the same from everyone.
6. We greet other
followers of Nijanand Sampradaya with "Pranam" with spiritual
love and respect.
7. No discrimination of
any kind is tolerated.
The system of Nijanand Sampradaya – (In chanted version) :
The above YouTube video contains a chanting in Sanskrit language, describing the underlying religious system of Nijanand Sampradaya. However, let me list you out some of the key major tenets of Nijanand Sampradaya from the above video (for now) as follows -
1. Shri Devchandra Ji is our Sadhguru (or the Guru of Gurus)
2. We
devote ourselves in the service of Purshottam (or the Almighty)
3. Our
discipline is Pativrat (or monotheism)
4. Our mantra is Tartam (or the knowledge)
5. Navtanpuri (of Gujarat) is our Puri (or the sanctum)
A short opinion from my side:
On a different note, I have seen and met so
many people in the society (and also online) saying that Shri Devchandra Ji founded
Nijanand Sampradaya. However, in my opinion, its not so. It is to be noted that
God’s religion (Islam) has its own versions every time the Lord sends someone
to Earth. So, the updated version has the only right to be said and known as
the correct version.
With that being said, Shri Devchandra Ji set the
initial version of Islam (after the automatic outdating of Rasul Mohammad's deen Sharia). That establishment would later be known as Nijanand Sampradaya. So, in my opinion, I would call Shri Devchandra Ji’s actions in his
lifetime as the initiation of Nijanand Sampradaya. The proper foundation
of Nijanand Sampradaya was not laid until the arrival of Mahamati Prannath in
Haridwar in 1735 (Vikram Samvat) which we had discussed earlier in the article.
Besides, according to the book of Hadiths, Isa Ruhallah had to wear his second garment and
together with Imam Mahdi (and Rasul Mohammad in his second coming), he had to wage war against Dajjal. Hence, the final
version of Islam is the one that was established by Imam Mahdi (that is Mahamati
Prannath) himself. That will hence justify the prophecies of Hadiths and the reign
of Imam Mahdi himself, with Nijanand Sampradaya completely turning deen
Sharia outdated and therefore automatically identifying as the ultimate religion of the Lord at
the final hour.
