Shri Mahaprabhuji was worried as to how a relation should be established between Shri Thakorji & all jeevas? In the midnight of Ekadashi, Shri Thakorji himself gave darshan to Shri Mahaprabhuji & relaxed him not to worry for the upliftment of Daivi jeevas. He also gave gadya mantra to Shri Mahaprabhuji & promised that if he gives diksha to anybody with atma nivedan & sarva samarpan & will transfer his ahanta mamta into Shri Thakorji then he will get the strength of Bhagwat

Pushti Elucidation:

It is the festival of the day of Brahmasambandh. On this day, gifts can be offered to Shri Thakorji with the bhav of relation of a teacher – student (guru-shishya) because on this day Shri Thakorji had given Brahmasambandh to Shri Mahaprabhuji. Therefore Shri Thakorji is called “first teacher” & Shri Mahaprabhuji is called “first student” & we get Brahmasambandh traditionally. Therefore on this day gifts can be offered to God considering him as Updeshta Guru.
