[sohamsa)some nice strory from Maharishi life and his master Guru dev , very rare text

[Guest guest]

.. .. according to Dr. Raj P. Varma.

>

> Dr. Varma was a longtime devotee of Guru Dev. They

knew each other

> personally. The following is taken from Dr. Varma's

biography of Guru

> Dev, 'Strange Facts About a Great Saint'.

>

> ---- Due to old age and exertion, His Divinity

Maharaj Shri [swami

> Brahmananda Saraswati - Guru Dev] felt lassitude.

His health ran down

> and doctors were taking care of him.

>

> On May 20, 1953, at about one o'clock in the

afternoon, His Holiness

> Maharaj Shri was examined by a renowned doctor, Shri

Vidhan Chandra

> Roy of Calcutta, who said there was nothing wrong

with his health, the

> heart was normal and the general condition was

satisfactory and

> requested Maharaj Shri to take rest.

>

> Maharaj Shri reposed for about 10 minutes and then

sat on the bed and

> said to Mahesh Brahmachari [now Maharishi Mahesh

Yogi] that his time

> was over and that he would go.

>

> Maharaj Shri imparted some instructions to Mahesh

before taking

> eternal samadhi. His Holiness said, " Due to

continuous engagements in

> preaching and the management of the Jyotishpeeth one

thing sill

> remains to be completed and that is to give a

technique to family

> people, in general so that by sitting and meditating

for a few minutes

> in the morning and in the evening every day, they

might enjoy peace

> and hapiness in their lives you have to do this

remaining work, I have

> given you everything. A son has to complete his

father's remaining

> work after him, so also a disciple completes his

guru's remaining work

> after him. "

>

> Maharaj Shri also directed Mahesh ji how his body is

to be disposed of

> after he had left it and the due rites to be

performed thereafter.

>

> With these directions His Divinity Shri Guru Dev at

1:15 PM San

> Padmason, closed his eyes and became Brahmleem, i.e.

emerged in the

> Absolute. By Yogic way he left the perishable body

which is a

> structure of earth, water, fire, sky and air. -----

> _________________

>

> Guru Dev's body was transported via special truck,

then train and

> finally barge to the Kedar Ghat on the banks of the

Ganges near

> Varanasi. Enroute, tens of thousands of devotees and

mourners wept and

> crowded close in an effort to receive one last

darshan from the

> master. From Kedar Ghat, his body was transferred to

a specially

> constructed stone casket and taken by a fleet of

boats to the middle

> of the Ganges where it was lowered over the side.

>

> It is documented in several written accounts that

Maharishi Mahesh

> Yogi, then known as Brahmachari Mahesh, dove into

the water and held

> onto the casket as it sank to the bottom. After

being under the water

> for over two minutes, he surfaced, took a breath and

dove down again.

> Onlookers were frightened that perhaps they might

lose Brahmachari

> Mahesh too. Finally, he came up and returned to the

boat.

>

> Recalling these events years later, Maharishi said

that he too had

> " dropped the body " while he was under water, but

that Guru Dev had

> sent him back. Several times, Maharishi tried to

stay with his master

> and finally, Guru Dev said to him,

>

> " Where do you think I am going? You are not

through here. You

> should stay. "

In his book, God and Love, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

writes this about

> Guru Dev during his tenure as Shankaracharya of

Jyotirmath.

>

> " His policy of spiritual enlightenment was all

embracing. He

> inspired all alike and gave a lift to everyone. All

parties found a

> common leader head in Him. All the differences and

dissensions of

> castes, creeds and smapradayas dissolved in His

presence… Such was His

> Universality and all-embracing nature.

>

> His entire personality exhaled the serene

perfume of spirituality.

> His face radiated that rare light which comprises

love, authority,

> serenity and self-assuredness; the state that comes

only by righteous

> living and Divine realization. His Darshan made

people feel as if some

> ancient Maharishi of Upanishadic fame had assumed

human form again;

> and that is it worthwhile leading a good life and to

strive for

> realization of the Divine. "
