सूरदास मदनमोहन

sooradas madanamohan gau diy sampraday ke naishthik vaishnav the, unaka nam sooradhvaj tha. ve jati ke brahman the, samrat akabar ki sabha mean unaki poori pahuanch thi. badashah ne unaki sh‍vamibhakti se prasanh‍n hokar unako sandile ka amin niyukh‍t kiya tha. ve mahan sadhusevi the. pas mean jo kuchh bhi rahata tha, sab santoan ki seva mean laga dete the.

vrindavan agaman

ek bar sooradas madanamohan ke jivan mean ath‍yanh‍t krantipoorn ghatana huee. unh‍hoanne sandile ke soobe ke terah lakh rupaye sadhuoan ki seva mean laga diye aur khajane vali peti mean ek kagaz dalakar use rajadhani mean bhej diya. kagaz mean likha tha-

"terah lakh sandile aye, sab sadhun mili gatake.
soorajadas madanamohanaji adhi ratako satake."

raja todaramal ne badashah ko bahut samajhaya ki- "amin ne bahut b da aparadh kiya hai, yadi k de-se-k da danh‍d n diya gaya to rajh‍y mean arajakata phail jayagi." par badashah ke hriday par to sooradas madanamohan ki sath‍yanishh‍tha, santaseva aur bhagavan ki bhakti ka prabhav p d chuka tha. akabar ne kshama-dan kiya aur unh‍hean bula bheja. par sooradas madanamohan to nanh‍dananh‍dan ki rajadhani vrindavan mean pahuanch chuke the. param pavitr kalinh‍di ke tat par bhakti ki vilas-bhoomi mean priya aur priyatam ki shrriangar-lila ka gan kar rahe the. unh‍hoanne vinamratapoorvak nivedan kiya ki- "ab to maian kisi aur ka ho chuka hooan. vrindavan ki galiyoan mean jha doo dena mujhe ath‍yanh‍t sukhad pratit hota hai." ve brajaraj ke bhakt the. sansar se bahut door a chuke the.

bhagavan ki stuti

sooradas madanamohan ji kalinh‍di ke tat par bhagavan ki murali-madhuri ka rasash‍vadan karane lage. madhur-madhur vanshi dhh‍vani ki mahati rasadhar mean nith‍y nimagh‍n hokar bhagavan se darshan ki bhikh maangana unaka karyakram ho chala. ve apane priyatam se kaha karate the-

"madhu ke matavare sh‍yam, kholau ph‍yare palakaian,
sis mukut lat chhuti, aur chhuti alakaian.
sur nar muni dvar thadhe, daras hetu kilakaian,
nasika ke moti sohaian, bich lal lalakaian.
pitaanbar, kar murali, sravan kuandal jhalakaian,
sooradas madanamohan daras daiho bhal kaian."

sooradas madanamohan ne lila-gan mean jis kavh‍y-madhury ka srot uandela hai, vah unaki b di madhur aur moolh‍yavan samh‍patti hai. apane bhagavan mean unaki itani nishh‍tha thi ki unh‍hoanne apane nam ke sath "madanamohan" prath‍yek pad mean jo da hai. unake saras padoan mean unaki mriduta, sahridayata aur adig bhakti ki poorn abhivh‍yakti huee hai.
