Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Dear Devotees ! I do not seek to blasphemize anyone ! But all this Avadhutatva and etc about swamiji is to be re-considered. No doubt he is great person, a good scholar! But to think of him as supreme or as an avtar is a litlle difficult. Myself and My Guru have been in touch with him even in his Purvashrama. He stayed in a small house near my aunt's place in mysore long ago and my people were sort of friendly with him. He led a some what artificial life. As soon as he saw a devotee approaching, he would immeditaly run and change to his safforn cloth and put a sandal mark on his head. I even asked him if all this was necesaary, and he said people respected one also by his outward look. He also had boroowed some money from a few people around, which, to their distress, was never returned. There are many other details regarding him that may somewhat tarnish his present image. Whatever, he has done a lot of good to the public. That is something very few people do. Avatar or not, this act deserves appreciation. His much publicized musical abilities are simply not evident in any of his compositions. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Please banish Harhanand_16 from the list. It is late and I don't have time to find the quote from the Guru Gita, but it says not to tolerate ill words about your guru from anyone.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2002 Report Share Posted August 4, 2002 Dear harshanand, you are not of a person neither to criticise nor to estimate the power of Mahatmas..First you findout whom you are..and what you are searching for...better search for your correct soul and proceed ..Dont mess around with the beliefs of hundreds and thousands of devotees..Yes it is very difficult for people like you to consider his holiness as supreme avatar, as you cant see your inner self...Have you got any experiences with his holiness?.. If you do not believe his holiness better not to come in our way and spoil the sanctity of the whole datta family..Dont not criticize any of the mahatmas.. May his holiness bless you....
