Chatterjee, Mukerjee, Banerjee and Swamijee !

[Guest guest]

Om Sri Sai Ram

 

Sairam brothers and sisters,

 

I think most of you know by now that Swami is in Bangalore these days

for the last 15 days. Hopefully he should be here for another month

atleast.

 

With His visit, I had an opportunity to do seva for the last one

week. During the seva I had the opportunity to hear many directs from

various devotees. Each one is very captivating, fabulous, and heart-

rendering. I thougt it fit to share some of them.

 

I am starting the first one with the title which is depicted in the

subject heading above. Well, this heading, will be most easily

understood by all Indians but for the benefit of our International

sisters and brothers, I wish to explain that these are names that are

used in India by the Bengalis from Calcutta and Bengal State in

General.

 

Swami once spoke to 2 boys who speak Bengali as it is their native

language. He asked one boy "What is your name?" to which the boy

answered "Swami, my name is Banerjee".

 

But Swami corrected him and said his name is not "Banerjee" but it

is "Chatterjee". But the youth, denied it and told Swami, "No Swami,

my name is "Banerjee".

 

Swami then asked him whether it is not true that he is most of the

time Chattering and loves to chat in General. HE said that only

monkeys keep chattering and so it is appropriate that one who keeps

chattering all the time is actually "Chatterjee" (It is another

Bengali name) and hence the youth 's name cannot be Banerjee but

Chatterjee.

 

Now the boy realised his mistake and said "Sorry Swami" I will not

talk unnecessarily any more. Then Swamy told him, that once Swami

speaks to any Chatterjee, he then proceeds to become "Mookerjee"

(Mukerjee is another Bengali name). Here Swami implied that the

person who was a chatter box, suddenly becomes "mouth shut" type,

locking his own mouth. So the name has changed to "Mookerjee"

 

Then Swami went further to explain, that even this is not correct,

because by now, such erstwhile chatter box persons, having followed

Swami's guidelines, suddenly become Torch bearers for Swami and carry

HIS banner all around the world.

 

So now the name acquired by the person is "Banerjee" because he

carries Swami's banner everywhere.

 

This fantastic incident occured to the son of Shri Banerjee a seva

dal member. Swami gave his son re-birth after the son had a near

fatal accident and where the brain was badly damaged and the doctors

and New Delhi in India, had recommended to the parents to let the son

die, rather than live like a vegatable. But Swami intervened and now

that youth is working in a good job.

 

Hope all of you liked the episode the title depicts.

 

In my next communication, I am going to let you know about the

fantastic fortune of Shri Kulkarni, a retired Bank officer. He did

not know about Swami 3 years ago, but now he is an ardent devotee.

More about his horse's mouth narration, in my next communication.

 

Sairam until then,

 

With warm regards to all my sisters and brothers

 

 

Jai Sai Ram
