Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 Dear Sweet members, As promised yetsreday I continue the story of my Gurunatha Rajagopala swami. Then the swami was made to study in school and without making fuss I would like to tell he excelled in it and joined Bcom(Bachelors of commerce) in a college in Chennai. This was way back in fifties. Then after the college he was working as an accountant. He completely forgot Devi's order about building a temple. He was completely absorbed in his office work. Then Divine mother began to appear Him and asked him " Rajagopala! what are doing here? You were born for me and for my mission and you sit here with these dusty accounts books! " Rajagopala swami nodded his head but continued with His work. He was not being arrogant but he was used to see Divine mother and for Him it was a trouble to even think of building a temple in his state of a meager income earning accountant. He said " I will build do not worry " She disappeared and after few times she started playing pranks! Whenever he opened the books he could see nothing but blank papers!!! Swami Rajagopala gave up. He decdied OK. I donot have any money but I will lay all my burdens on Her and we will see what happen. He started to spread information about building a temple. He however had no clue what to do,where to build, which idol to select,etc. He had no contacts,no brahmin friends except his close family friends to help him in construct the temple. He however gave up his job much to the consternation of his family who now considered him an Odd man in his family. But what could poor swami do when Divine mother plays pranks like this? But the Empress has her ways! ......................To be continued in the next posting!.......Please follow the thread and read the story of Rajagopala swami from the first.........just my personal request.....Once the whole story is over...i will put in a file for all to peruse in one go.........Please bear with me till then...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Dear Subodha, Even within the group, the photograph is missing. Balaji Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru , ****** <para_anuloma> wrote: > Dear Members, > > I continue the story of my Gurunatha which I had left.... > > > > (Simple photo of Swami Rajagopala) So he left his job and began to concentrate full time on Bhagavathy Rajarajeshwari Devi. He started doing Chandi homa regularly with the help of local residents in his house in the first floor. > > He was also collecting money for the temple. But who would give swami the money? He was young and people would say to him " You are so young why do you cheat people like this and beg for money in the name of divine mother?...why dont you earn your money? " . Swami bore such insults silently and divine stoicness and collected whatever meager things they gave. > However he never gave up on chandi homa daily, he also used the mantra which Lord datta had given him to invoke Rajarajeshwari Devi. > > One day as usual he did the homa and in the night they closed the curtain because the fumes were coming all over the house. They went to partake the prasada and were resting after the exhaustive homa. > > One member in the homa group accidentally went inside the curtained room and found that something was shining! in the homa kunda!! He could not believe what he was seeing! > He called all like a crow calling it's members! Everyone came and saw and were filled with awe and divinity. Their hairs stood on an end. When swamiji heard the news he came in and saw and he asked for a ladle and inserted it in the fire and took out a big RUBY!!! People could not believe that such things happen even in this kali yuga. They were all witness to a miracle by Sree Rajarajeshwari. This was not centuries ago but in the fifities and sixities!! > They then began to regularly get gems of big big sizes from the homa kunda. > Swami did not know the significance of these gems and kept it in his shelf! > He got totally 16 Big gems and many other small gems...not knowing that the biggest gem represents Rajarajeshwari devi and the rest represent the Thithi nityas....He then decided to take it to some saintly person who could say what it was as he was humble(despite being in communion with Parameshwari)...to bend low like a stalk of grass is advissable in times of tempest than to stand erect like a oak tree....ultimately the oak tree will be uprooted but the humble blade of grass survives the pralaya!....... > > ......to be continued soon > > Yours yogically, > > Subodha > Purity, Powers, Parabrahmam... > > > > Click to join Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
