Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Dear Elders and Group, I feel urge to share a memoir of life with you, This is an exceropt of my Guru's life. He was employed with Indian Railway, a Bengali Brahmin (Sri GauriShankar Chatterjee), Her maa died so early in the life that he doesnt remember her face, a motherless child, Father was a religious enlightened man and used to organise " Sadavrat - to give food to saints " at home on every Amaavasya and Purnima. After his mother's death, His father got remarried and the kid GauriShankar could not accept the new mother from the core of the heart. Mother's love is a great tonic to humanity. The kid developed great disbelief to his heritage, culture and religion. After his matriculation, one day, a sain visited his home, father was not in the home, he wanted to take bath there and to have food, the young GauriShankar was not ready to give even handful grains to him, sheltering, staying and bathing was impossible. The unhedged Saint remined very cool to hurting behavior of the young GauriShankar, He said - It's a destiny that I will have my food here, Your Baba (father) is returing to home, by the time i take my bath, he will reach here, Go and ask ur mother to prepare the food. Surprised Gaurishankar, finally arranged water for his bath and asked the mother to prepare the food for the visiting saint. After the bath, the young GauriShankar went to the saint to ask, how come he knows that taking food at his home is a destiny ? can doing puja give food to somebody ? The saint said Yes, the god gives food to everyone, he never forgets his devotees. and for the first query related to knowing the destiny, he said one day Gaurishankar will understand this. Gaurishankar said - " Ok " then pls ask ur god to do - 1. I want to visit across india. 2. I dont want to spend money for travels 3. I want to be able to get my food myself (i m forgetting exactly what he said to me) The saint replied - ok, be it so. then he added, you will spread Hari Naam too in addition to above. they were still taking and GauriShankar's father reached home, He liked his son interacting with the saint. In couple of months, GauriShankar cleared the Railway's recruitment test and was appointed in Nagpur Railway Station. Those days, there used to be an old temple in nagpuer railway's colony, he used to visit that temple doing gayatri mantra, one fine day, at early morning around 3:30, he reached the temple to chant gayatri mantra, he was immersed in mantra, bt what happens, another saint in astral body, suddenly appears, he had a glowing aura, he approached to young man. It was as stunning as lightening from the sky. He asked the young man - " I m ur Chinhit Guru (Determined), The time for ur Deekscha has come and I had to leave my adobe for u, So, Come to me and take ur mantra " . Young Man, was not able to react, he was afraid too, he got freezed. The Saint in astral body, embraced him and gave the " Brahma Mantra " , Brahma Mantras are Advaita Mantras. Same Mantras further I m given by this young man who turned a guru himself in his later age. Well, the young man never had any respect or urge to recite this mantra as he thought some ghostly spirit might have caught him as it was too early in the morning. After some years, he requested an appointment to have meeting with Maata AmritanandaMai, MaataJi, invited him to his ashram near Haridwar, When he reached there, mother's followers forcefully put him in the row of people seeking deekscha. When mother reached near him, he asked him - " Your deekschha has happened.., You need not stand here " . The young man didnt remember to what incident mother indicating at. He thought may be it's mother's mistake. after 7 years, he visited rishikesh and went up in the himalayas, he saw one good saint, in good health constantly doing 3 days chanting in the deep forest. he waited for him to complete his chanting to seek mantra deekschha. When this himalayan saint, opened his eyes, Gaurishankar was there, he asked - " What you want from me " , gaurishankar replies - " I never found a saint like you, u are great, pls. make me ur desciple and give me a mantra " . The himalayan saint got infuriated, stood up and slapped him, saying - " Stupid, You already got deekscha from a great guru, i worship that guru's feet, Not understanding the blessings of that great guru, You greedy, you want a mantra from me " . " You stupid - See Your Guru once again " The young Gaurishankar was again in a freezing state, and what happens - the same great man in the astral body who gave him the brahma mantra at nagpur, appeared in the air, with the mantra ementaing like flame. he stooped down to Guru and sought his foregiveness, he also sought forgiveness from the himalayan saint also. and started chanting the Guru Mantra, The advaita mantra's power made his mind to strong that he started disregarding the idol worship, started rejecting the mother divine (nature) as " Jara - Quiet, Lifeless " . One day, he met well known singing saint " Onkarnath " , Onkaarnath asked him, " Gauri, even being a brahmin why u dont wear Janeu (Yagyopaveet) " . Gauri replied that " He himself has become " Paramhansha " , The cool onkaarnath chided him - " You are not a paramhansha (most enlightened) but turning to param- bhansha (most dirty), Stupid, wearn an Janey immediately " . It was the Onkaarnath who gave him back the Janeu. Next, he read in the news papers that somewhere in west bengal there is a Siddha of Tantrik cult, who took 3 days unbroken samadhi, he rushed to see him seeking another deekschha. The great tantrik returned him saying neither the time has come nor he is interested in giving him the deekschha, come later. Gauri went to him after some month, he againe refused to give mantra and said to come later on, finally at third visit, he got ready to give " Shakta Deekschha " to Gauri. The Teja - Shaakta Guru said - " You have already got Brahma Mantra but some avidya remained, to over come the fear and greed, you required this Shaakti Mantra, do this and see, life in everything, The mother nature is not Avidya, Avidya is in ur heart " . He further said, You have to meet a third Guru, who will took you to complete ur adviata understanding after i m no more. So, Group, see, how selflessly these Gurus have been guiding young Gaurishankar, Those great saints who were not destined to be his guru, they only redirected him to his right guru.It's higly unlikely to the inernet world, media world where any body who has good communicative skill and who has an enchanting glamorous personality projects himself as Guru and then tries to keep the desciple bounded with him, even brainwashes desciples to hate other cults, fills in the desciple's mind that their path is the best one, fills in desciple's mind with all sort of " jealousness, compition and stupid superiority " . beware of such illusions, True Gurus have an open mind, u can see, Gurus's of one system redirected Gaurishankar to another system. You can also see the mantra has a divine element, those stupids says mantra is nothing but a syllable, which makes vibrations, No it's not. First learn and realize what's a mantra is and how it works then speak to the world what u have known by ur experience. Gauri, met his last guru in a journey to Lucknow, he got Upnishadik Deekschha when the train was crossing the bridge on river of Gomati, Lucknow. Will tell this story later on. regards, Lalit.
