Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Nearly thirty-five or forty years ago, I had the good fortune of having the Darshan of Maharshi at Tiruvannamalai when he was living there in a cave along with his mother and brother. One mid-day, I a young Brahmachari at that time, climbed to the cave, saw the Maharshi there and placing a bunch of bananas at his feet, bowed and sat before him. At the same moment some monkeys jumped on to the scene, crambled for the fruits and ran away with them. Maharshi looked lovingly into my face. That was all He spoke but Silence; not a word passed between us. A supreme, a dynamic and divine Silence prevailed. An hour passed by, all in Silence. He rose for his Bhiksha. I too rose from my seat, bowed again and walked down the hill. The divine Silence sank deeper and deeper into me at each step! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Swami Thapovan Maharaj in: The Mountain Path, 1986 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
