Pushtimarg. Today only the Mukharvind (Lotus like Face) of Shree

Brief Charitra of Shreemad Vallabhacharyaji
Mahaprabhuji:
Apshri's appearance was on V.S. 1535. Just like 'Tatva Guna
Baan Bhuvi...', Tatvas are 5 i.e. Elements are 5. These elements
are transcendental. The First element 'Prithvi' is the divine
Mother of Pushti bhakta i.e. Shree Yamunaji. The Second element 'Jalatva'
i.e.water is to do the darshan of Leela of Shree Krishna. The
third element is 'Tej' i.e. effulgence. This is the Haridasvarya
Shree Girirajji. The bestowing of divine nector like 'Rasa' is the
characteristics of 'Vayutatva' and to decrypt the secret meaning
of Granthas is 'Akash Tatva'.
Three Gunas: 'Guna':
The three Gunas i.e. Attributes are 1. Satva, 2. Raj and 3.
Tama. Like this, Shree Mahaprabhuji's 'Materialistic form i.e. 'Adhibhautika'
form is the human form on earth. Shree Mahaprabhuji's
transcendental form i.e. "Adhiyatmik' form is of 'Tritayatmak
Swaroop' i.e. as mentioned in 'Saundarya Padya'. The divine form
of Shree Mahaprabhuji i.e. 'Adhidaivik' form is Krishna i.e. 'Vastutah
Krishna Eva' i.e. Shree Mahaprabhuji is actually 'Krishna'. Thus
Shree Mahaprabhuji is Purna Purushottam.
Five Arrows (Baan):
These are the five arrows of 'Kamdeva' and the effect of each
arrow is mentioned in Shreemad Bhagwat Mahapuran. The Five
arrows are:
1. Shosan
2. Deepan
3. Sanmohan
4. Tapan
5. Unmadan
Same way, Shree Mahaprabhuji by appearing on
earth did the work with five arrows:
1. Shosan: Shree Mahaprabhuji destroyed all the sins of BHakta
2. Deepan: Shree Mahaprabhuji enlightened the Bhagwad Rasa in
hearts of Bhaktas.
3. Sanmohan: Shree Mahaprabhuji likewise attracted many divine
souls (Daivi Jeevas)
4. Tapan: Shree Mahaprabhuji taught the only instrument to
obtain Shree Krishna i.e. Virah (Longing)
5. Unmaad: The last and the fifth stage is to raise bhakta in
such a stage that bhakta forgets about the five adhyasas and
becomes engrossed in bhagwad Seva.
