Shriji Mahārāj sent Santdāsji to Daluji. Daluji asked Santdāsji news of Shriji Mahārāj’s powers and asked, “How should one understand the avatār of Shriji Mahārāj; and what type of liberation does he grant the jivas there?” Santdāsji replied, “This is not an avatār. This is actually the avatāri, the cause of the avatārs such as Rām, Krishna, etc. And he is the cause of the cause. He is the manifest Harikrishna Purushottam, who came on the earth from Akshardhām out of compassion for the purpose of granting ultimate liberation to the jivas. This murti is supreme; therefore, he grants them the supreme (ultimate) liberation. And Shriji Mahārāj has never come to this brahmānd before and will never come again.1 There is only one like him. I travel to Vaikunth, Badrikāshram, Shvetdwip, and other abodes. There, the presiding deities of those abodes all proclaim, ‘Sahajānand Swāmi is the manifest form of Purushottam and the master of Akshardhām, the cause of all the avatārs. Out of compassion, he graced the earth to liberate the jivas. Therefore, he grants the jivas ultimate liberation.’ This is what the residents of all the other abodes say.” Then, Santdāsji asked Daluji, “How do you understand the avatār of Shriji Mahārāj to be?” Daluji replied, “Shriji Mahārāj is the cause of all the avatārs and the cause of Akshardhām, kāl, māyā, Purush, the four emanations of Vasudev,2 and the 24 forms [of Vishnu].3 I have understood this because of Shriji Mahārāj’s grace.” In this way, the two mutually spoke about Shriji Mahārāj greatness. Footnotes: 1. 1. The purport of this statement by Shriji Maharaj is that he came on this earth for the first time and he will remain present through the Satpurush who is Aksharbrahma. If Maharaj remains present on this earth through the Satpurush, then there is no question of him having to come again. Therefore, Maharaj says he will never come again. 2. The four emanations of God (chaturvyuh): The four emanations of God are the four forms of Vishnu that play different roles in the workings of the brahmānd. Vāsudev is the form of Vishnu that is meant for worship. The work of Pradyumna is to propagate dharma and to cause the creation the brahmānd. The work of Aniruddha is to explain the tattvas - i.e., elements - and to cause the sustenance of creation. The work of Sankarshan is to propagate spiritual knowledge and to cause the destruction of creation. 3. The 24 forms [of Vishnu]: The 24 forms of Vishnu are the 24 unique names given to Vishnu based on the permutations of the four objects he holds in his four hands. For example, in the form of Keshav, he holds the lotus in his lower right hand, the conch in his upper right hand, the Sudarshan Chakra in his upper left hand and the mace in his lower left hand. In the form of Nārāyan, he holds the conch in his lower right hand, the lotus in his upper right hand, the mace in his upper left hand and the Sudarshan Chakra in his lower left hand. Based on these permutations, the names of the 24 forms of Vishnu are as follows: Keshav, Nārāyan, Mādhav, Govind, Vishnu, Madhusudan, Trivikram, Vāman, Shridhar, Hrushikesh, Padmanābh, Dāmodar, Sankarshan, Vāsudev, Pradyumna, Aniruddha, Purushottam, Adhokshaj, Nrusinh, Achyut, Janārdan, Upendra, Hari and Krishna.
