BHAGAVAN SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA DEVA IS RECOGNIZED!

[Guest guest]

Salutations to Thakur, Guru, and Ma!

 

On the 25th of October, 1885, Vijaykrishna Goswami recognizes Sri Ramakrishna.

 

Vijay (to Sri Ramakrishna with folded hands)--"I have now recognized who you

are! You have not to tell me more.

 

Saying so, he falls at the feet of Sri Ramakrishna and takes his feet on his

chest. Sri Ramakrishna sits unaware of the outer world like a statue.

 

Witnessing this wonderful scene and the flood of divine love, some devotees

sitting there begin to weep. Some others sing a hymn of praise. Everybody is

gazing at Sri Ramakrishna in his own bhava. Some of them see him as a great

devotee, others as a sadhu, and yet some others as avatara, God assuming a human

body--all according to their own bhava.

 

Mahimacharan begins to sing, his eyes filled with tears: ' Behold, behold the

image of love.' And side by side he is, as if, having a glimpse of Brahman. He

says, 'The Transcendental, Beyond the One and the many,

Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute.'

 

Navagopal is weeping. Bhupati sings--"

 

Victory, victory to Para Brahman! Infinite, incomprehensible Thou art. Higher

than the highest, the essence of essences.

 

Thou art the light of truth, the fount of love and its ground. Thou art the main

support of all-good.

 

This solemn creation of Yours is impregnated with various rasas (modes). It is

full of splendour.

 

Thou art the Poet, great and primeval. The sun and the moon are born of Your

poetry. And in Thy poetry again, they move towards Mount Ast to set there.

 

With the golden brush of the stars Thou have written songs with beautiful words

of clouds on the expanse of skies.

 

The six seasons of the year and the whole creation filled with happiness are

singing Thy glory.

 

The flowers reveal Thy beauty and the waters Thy serenity. Thou art the

terrific Rudra in the thunderclap.

 

Thy mystery is so deep. What can a fool know of it? Infinity has been

worshipping Thee since ages.

 

Millions of suns, moons and stars filled with joy bow at Thy feet.

 

Seeing Thy creation men and women overwhelmed in bhava wonder and shed tears

from their eyes.

 

Gods, men and supermen worship Thy pervading divinity; Thou, the home of

all-good.

 

Pray bestow knowledge and love, bestow devotion and grant preservation. Grant,

do grant shelter at Thy feet.
