Nama Article-14

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara

Swamiji

 

Once Samarta Ramdas while wandering in the forest

freely saw Lot of birds flying up in the air. Ramadas

had a bag hung from his shoulder and hence picked up

stones and started to hits all the flying birds. His

throw was perfect and hence the birds were falling

down dead and he started to picks up the dead bird and

putting it in his bag. Those who were watching this

thought that ' He is being called as a Mahatma. But

his act of killing the birds one by one and putting

them in his bag ridiculed them.' They went to him and

told, " Swami! The whole world calls you a Mahatma.

But, you are committing such an act! "

 

Ramadas asks, " Is what I am doing sinful? "

 

The people replied, " Certainly! What you are doing is

sinful. You are killing all the birds and putting them

in your bag! "

 

Ramadas, " Well! What is the atonement for it? "

 

They immediately discussed among themselves and spoke

elaborately on the atonement to be done and Ramadas

performed all of them through them.

 

Soon after Ramdas asks them, " At your behest I have

performed all the atonement rites. But, the birds do

not seem to fly! "

 

They say, " Your sins have flown away. But, the birds

will not fly! "

 

Do you know what Samarta Ramdas said?

 

" I will now do an atonement. Will you watch? "

 

He picked up a bird from the bag and held it in his

hand. He uttered, 'Om Sri Ram Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram!'

and lifted his hand. The bird happily soared up into

the sky! As he picked up the birds one by one and

uttered the Nãma they all flew away into the sky!
