Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Hare Krsna,PAMHO.AGTSP.In his book Lives of the Vaisnava Acaryas Volume III BABAJI MAHARAJA "Two beyond duality" Karnamrta dasa Adhikari Prabhu mentions When it seemed that Gaura-kisora dasa Babaji's eyesight was deteriorating,Srila Sarasvati Thakura requested him to go to Calcutta for treatment.Takura Bhaktivinoda also repeatedly requested him to go there,but Srila Gaura-kisora would reply,"I will never go to the illusory universe,Calcutta" Once,Srila Bhaktivinoda Takura informed Babaji Maharaja that his servant,Srila Sarasvati Takura,would stay with him in Calcutta and thus Babaji Maharaja would not have to suffer any inconvenience there.Up on hearing this Srila Gaura-kisora Prabhu replied,"I will never accept service from Prabhu,rather I shall die by drowning.If I die drowning myself in the Ganges,I will become a ghost--so I will drown myself in Sarasvati."Repeating this statement,Srila Gaura-kisora then left posthaste,running towards the Sarasvati River,which flowed close to the entrance to Svananda Kunja...... ..............Then just as suddenly,he reappeared at Svananda Kunja and announced,"I can't achieve Sri Krsna by killing myself.Nevertheless,I cannot tolerate anyone serving me." Can any one may please help me to understand the Superiority of Sarasvati River over Ganges River.My Pranam in advance.
