About Nijananda
Sampradaya (Islam) –
Nijanand
Sampradaya is the religion that was founded and named personally by Mahamati Prannath.
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 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. It was only then when Mahamati
Prannath revealed himself to the world as revealed below in the verses of
"Bitak 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 (Devchandra Mehta), the name of our religion
would be Nijanada Sampradaya”-
- Mahamati Prannath (in 1735 in Hardwar,
India)
Nijananda
Sampraday hence literally meant the religious sector of master Nijananda
(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).
(The religion
that he was leading was only named "Nijananda Sampradaya"
after this very event. Before that the religion existed without a formal name.
It existed in the form of a mass of followers only!)
The legacy of Nijananda
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
Sampraday as "pranami sampradaya".
It is because Mahamati Prannath, never uttered the words "pranami
sampradaya" as his established religion’s name.
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 commandments 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.
