Prakashmuni Naam Sahib - Incomplete Saint / अधूरे संत
Prakashmuni Naam Sahib, Damakheda, Raipur, Chattisgarh is a Kabir Panthi saint belonging to the Dharamdas ji's lineage.
Prakashmuni Naam Sahib is the current head of native seat of Kabir Panth at Damakheda. He belongs to the 42 generations (Bayalish vansh) of Saint Dharamadas ji and is the son and disciple of Grindhmuni Naam Sahib.
Dharamdas ji (from Bandhavgarh, Madhya Pradesh) was a dear disciple of Kabir Sahib. Supreme God Kabir Ji had said to Saint Dharmdas ji that to maintain religiousness, only give first mantra to your son Churamani, by which he will remain religious and your lineage will continue.
Then Kabir Sahib said that a messenger of Kaal will come in your seventh generation. He will even finish this actual first mantra and will propagate another arbitrary mantra. The eleventh, thirteenth and the seventeenth Mahants will finish the rest of the religiousness. In this way, bhakti will finish from your lineage, but your lineage will still continue until the forty-second (42) generation. Then your lineage will also get destroyed.
Messengers of Kaal in Damakheda Kabir Panth Lineage
Proof – Book “Sumiran Sharan Gah Byaalish Vansh”; writer – Mahant Shri Harisingh Rathor, on Page 52 –
सुन धर्मनि जो वंश नशाई, जिनकी कथा कहूँ समझाई।।93।।
Sun Dharmni jo vansh nashaai, jinki katha kahoon samjhaai ||93||
काल चपेटा देवै आई, मम सिर नहीं दोष कछु भाई।।94।।
Kaal chapeta devae aayi, mm sir nahin dosh kachhu bhaai ||94||
सप्त, एकादश, त्रायोदस अंशा, अरु सत्राह ये चारों वंशा।।95।।
Sapt, ekaadash, tryodas ansha, aru satrah ye chaaron vansha ||95||
इनको काल छलेगा भाई, मिथ्या वचन हमारा न जाई।।96।।
Inko Kaal chhalega bhaai, mithya vachan hamaara na jaai ||96||
जब.2 वंश हानि होई जाई, शाखा वंश करै गुरुवाई।।97।।
Jab-jab vansh haani hoii jaai, shaakha vansh karae guruvaayi ||97||
दस हजार शाखा होई है, पुरुष अंश वो ही कहलाही है।।98।।
Das hazaar shaakha hoii hai, purush ansh vo hi kahlaahi hai ||98||
वंश भेद यही है सारा, मूढ जीव पावै नहीं पारा।।99।।
Vansh bhed yahi hai saara, mood jeev paavae nahin paara ||99||
भटकत फिरि हैं दोरहि दौरा, वंश बिलाय गये केही ठौरा।।100।।
Bhatkat firi hain dorahi daura, vansh bilaay gaye kehi thaura ||100||
सब अपनी बुद्धि कहै भाई, अंश वंश सब गए नसाई।।101।।
Sab apni buddhi kahae bhaai, ansh vansh sab gaye nasaai ||101||
In the above-mentioned speech, Supreme God Kabir said to His personal disciple Saint Dharmdas Sahib ji that - Dharmdas, bhakti will be destroyed from your lineage; I will narrate to you that story.
A messenger of Kaal will be born in the seventh generation. He will finish bhakti from your lineage. The first mantra which you will grant, he will start another arbitrary mantra instead.
The eleventh, thirteenth and the seventeenth Mahants will exterminate the rest of the religiousness. My words will not go in vain, Brother. All the descendents of the lineage will become devoid of Bhakti. They will perform their respective arbitrary religious practices.
Dharamdas Lineage offsprings will be Egoistic and Arrogant
Kabir Sahib said to Dharamdas ji that if your successors will go according to my directions, then I will also get them across; otherwise not.
From Kabir Sagar Page no. 139
वचन गहे सो वंश हमारा, बिना वचन (नाम) नहीं उतरे पारा।
धर्मदास तब बंस तुम्हारा, वचन बंस रोके बटपारा।।
शब्द की चास नाद कह होई, बिन्द तुम्हारा जाय बिगोई।
बिन्द ते होय ना पंथ उजागर। परखि के देखहु धर्मनिनागर।।
चारहु युग देखहु समवादा, पन्थ उजागर किन्हों नादा।
और वंस जो नाद सम्हारै, आप तरें और जीवहीं तारे।
कहां नाद और बिन्द रै भाई। नाम भक्ति बिनु लोक ना जाई।।
Vachan gahe so vansh hamaar, bina vachan (naam) nahin utre para |
Dharmdas tab bans tumhaara, vachan bans roke batpaara ||
Shabd ki chaas naad kah hoyi, bind tumhaara jaay bigoyi |
Bind te hoye na panth ujaagar| parakhi ke dekhhu dharmninaagar ||
Chaarahu yug dekhhu samvaada, panth ujaagar kinhon naada |
Aur vans jo naad samhaarae, aap tarein aur jeevhin taare |
Kahaan naad aur bind rae bhaai| naam bhakti binu lok na jaayi ||
The meaning of the aforementioned speech is that Supreme God Kabir Ji said to Dharmdas ji, “He, who will obey my orders, will only be my successor i.e. follower; otherwise, he will not get across. Your bind (बिन्द) i.e. offspring from body, mahant descendents, will become arrogant. They will straightaway go to hell. Your panth will only be able to run through naad (disciple succession) if the actual mantra will continue; otherwise, your both naad (disciple) and bind (बिन्द) (offspring of body) will become devoid of bhakti. Only your lineage will still continue.”
“Dharmdas, someone other than your both successions (Naad and Bind) will be my word i.e. Naad (of disciple tradition) followers. My true Kabir Panth will become famous by them.” Kabir Sahib is saying that Dharmdas, see in any yug, welfare of living beings has been done only by Naad (word) i.e. disciple succession, and no true path runs from offspring of bind (बिन्द) (body) i.e. mahant succession. They are arrogant.
Kabir Sagar – “Amar Mool” on page 196, verse is written :
Verse/couplet: -
नाम भेद जो जान ही, सोई वंश हमार। नातर दुनियाँ बहुत ही, बूड़ मुआ संसार।।
Naam bhed jo jaan hi, soyi vansh hamaar |
Naatar duniyan bahut hi, bood muaa sansaar ||
It is written on Page 205: -
नाम जाने सो वंश तुम्हारा, बिना नाम बुड़ा संसारा।
Naam jaane so vansh tumhaara, bina naam buda sansaaara |
It is written on Page 207: -
सोई वंश सत शब्द समाना, शब्द हि हेत कथा निज ज्ञाना।
Soyi vansh sat shabd samaana, shabd hi het katha nij gyaana |
It is written on Page 217: -
बिना नाम मिटे नहीं संशा, नाम जाने सो हमारे वंशा।
Bina naam mite nahin sansha, naam jaane so hamaare vansha |
नाम जाने सो वंश कहावै, नाम बिना मुक्ति न पावै।
Naam jaane so vansh kahaavae, naam bina mukti na paavae |
नाम जाने सो वंश हमारा, बिना नाम बुड़ा संसारा।
Naam jaane so vansh hamaara, bina naam buda sansaara |
It is written on Page 244: -
बिन्द के बालक रहें उरझाई, मान गुमान और प्रभुताई।
Bind ke baalak rahein urjhaayi, maan gumaan aur prabhutaayi |
Saakhi: -
हमरे बालक नाम के, और सकल सब झूठ। सत्य शब्द कह जानही, काल गह नहीं खूंठ।।
Hamre baalak naam ke, aur sakal sab jhooth ||
Satya shabd kah jaanhi, kaal gah nahin khoonth ||
वंश हमारा शब्द निज जाना, बिना नाम नहिं वंशहि माना।।
Vansh hamaara shabd nij jaana, bina naam nahin vanshahi mana ||
धर्मदास निर्मोहि हिय गहेहू। वंश की चिन्ता छाड़ तुम देहू।
Dharmdas nirmohi hiye gahehu | vansh ki chinta chhad tum dehu ||
The meaning of Kabir Sagar, Adhyay Anurag Sagar, page 138 to 141 is that: - In your lineage the offspring {bind (बिन्द)} will be egoistic and will also fight out of arrogance and will say that we are from Dharmdas’s lineage (offsprings). We are the best. Supreme God Kabir Ji has said that my actual (vansh) successor is only he who is familiar with my Nij shabd i.e. Saarshabd. One, who is not familiar with the Saarshabd, will not be considered to be my vansh (successor). Therefore, upto the twelfth panth i.e. Garibdas ji’s panth are said to be Kaal’s panth. Therefore, Kabir Ji said to Dharmdas ji that leaving the tension about your lineage, become detached.
Naam Updesh (mantra) given by mahants of Damakheda, Kharsiya & Lahar Tara
In Kabir Panth, the updesh mantra (naam) which is given by the mahants of Damakheda and by those of the native seat of Kharsiya and by those of Lahartara, Kashi (Banaras) is the following
"Sat Sukrit ki rehni raho | ajar amar gaho satya naam | kah Kabir mool deeksha satya shabd pramaan | aadi naam, ajar naam, ami naam, pataale sapt sindhu naam, aakashe adli nij naam | yahi naam hans ka kaam | khule kunji khule kapaat paanji chade mool ke ghaat | bharm bhoot ka baandho gola kah Kabir yahi pramaan paanch naam le hansa satyalok samaan"
Evidence of Naam Jaap in Three Stages
In Kabir Sagar, Amar Mool Bodh Sagar on page 265, it is written:
तब कबीर अस कहेवे लीन्हा, ज्ञानभेद सकल कह दीन्हा।।
धर्मदास मैं कहो बिचारी, जिहिते निबहै सब संसारी।।
प्रथमहि शिष्य होय जो आई, ता कहैं पान देहु तुम भाई।।1।।
जब देखहु तुम दृढ़ता ज्ञाना, ता कहैं कहु शब्दप्रवाना।।2।।
शब्द मांहि जब निश्चय आवै, ता कहैं ज्ञान अगाध सुनावै।।3।।
Tab Kabir as kaheve leenha, gyaanbhed sakal kah deenha ||
Dharmdas main kaho bichaari, jihite nibahae sab sansaari ||
Prathmahi shishya hoye jo aayi, ta kahaen paan dehu tum bhaai ||1||
Jab dekhahu tum dridta gyaana, ta kahaen kahu shabd pravaana ||2||
Shabd maahin jab nishchay aavae, ta kahaen gyaan agaadh sunaavae ||3||
It has been again explained –
बालक सम जाकर है ज्ञाना। तासों कहहू वचन प्रवाना।।1।।
जा कहैं सूक्ष्म ज्ञान है भाई। ता कहें स्मरन देहुलखाई।।2।।
ज्ञान गम्य जा कहैं पुनि होई। सार शब्द जा कहैं कह सोई।।3।।
जा कहैं दिव्य ज्ञान परवेशा, ताकहैं तत्व ज्ञान उपदेशा।।4।।
Baalak sam jaakar hai gyaana | taason kahhu vachan pravaana ||1||
Ja kahaen sookshm gyaan hai bhaai | ta kahein smaran dehu lakhaayi ||2||
Gyaan gamya ja kahaen puni hoyi | saar shabd ja kahaen kah soyi ||3||
Ja kahaen divya gyaan parvesha | taakahaen tatv gyaan updesha ||4||
It is clear from the above-mentioned speech that True Guru provides naam up to Saarnaam in three stages, and in the fourth stage, Saar Shabd is to be provided.
Kabir Sahib Forbade Dharamdas ji to give Saar Shabad
Supreme God Kabir Sahib Ji had forbidden Dharmdas ji to give Saarshabd, and had said that if Saarshabd will come into the hands of any messenger of Kaal, then the hans of the middle generation will not be able to get across.
Therefore, it is written in Kabir Sagar, Jeev Dharm Bodh, Bodh Sagar, on page 1937:
धर्मदास तोहि लाख दुहाई, सार शब्द कहीं बाहर नहीं जाई।
सार शब्द बाहर जो परि है, बिचली पीढ़ी हंस नहीं तरि है।
Dharmdas tohi laakh duhaayi, saar shabd kahin baahar nahin jaayi |
Saar shabd baahar jo pari hai, bichli peedi hans nahin tari hai |
Hence the True Naam Updesh Mantras do not exist in the lineage of descendents of Dharamdas ji
