"Let Jesus look like Jesus"

[Guest guest]

A Christian devotee from Atlanta had attended the

Kriya Yoga camp and in the course of three days of the

camp, she was intensely drawn to Pujya Sri Swamiji.

One particular morning, after the Sri Chakra Pooja was

over, she presented to Sri Swamiji two big rolled

posters of Jesus Christ drawn by herself. She had

brought the poster pictures not only for presentation

but also to take Sri Swamiji's blessings if she could

make bulk copies of the same portrait for sale.

 

The devotee concerned was making her livelihood by

drawing the pictures of Jesus Christ and selling them

in the market.) Pujya Sri Swamiji unfolded the rolled

picture and found that the devotee artist had put

'Tilaka'(red mark) on the forehead of Jesus' portrait.

On asking why she did so, she replied, 'Swamiji, I

found no difference between your look and that of

Jesus except that Jesus did not wear a 'Tilaka' and

after I had done so, I felt the satisfaction of seeing

Jesus as none else but Yourself. so, please Swamiji,

allow me to adore the forehead of Jesus with the

'Tilaka' which adores so beautifully you forehead'.

Pujya Swamiji was moved by the devotee's love. He kept

the two pictures, one over the other, on his left

thigh and placed his two palms, one over the other,

upon the forehead of Jesus' picture; closed His eyes

for about thirty seconds and lo! From beneath Pujya

Swamiji's palm, two palm size symbols of the Holy

Cross emerged. Sri Swamiji lifted them from the

pictures and gave them to the devotee and said, 'Let

Jesus look like Jesus- as He was! Don't make any

change'.

 

 

All those who witnessed the above phenomenon were

emotionally charged with tears of joy and reverence

for Pujya Sri Swamiji and more so the Christian

devotee who tearfully exclaimed, 'My love for Jesus

has been rewarded today, Jesus has appeared to me in

the form of Swamiji'.
