Guest guest Posted October 23, 1999 Report Share Posted October 23, 1999 Sorry for the long absence. I was out of town for sometime. I hope people remember my postings on Life of Swami Brahmananda. I am continuing on it. I hope that I will be regular from now on with my postings. ----------------------------- Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna used to tell his disciples about Rakhal as follows, " It is difficult to explain in words, the highest spiritual state which Rakhal had got during those days. He would be spending most of his time in spiritual ectasy. His state was like that of a child who is solely dependent on its mother. His thoughts were always about God. Whenever I was with him, I entered the deep spiritual state. Like mother Yashodha, who played with child Krishna, I also played with him. " Rakhal's father tried to direct his attention to the normal life. He ordered him not to got to Dakshineshwar temple. But as Rakhal did not heed to his advices, one day he even locked Rakhal in a room. Rakhal was itching to meet Bhagwan. Bhagwan prayed to JaganMathato remove the obstacles in Rakhal's spiritual life. One day, Rakhal's father was seeing some documents related to a case. He ordered Rakhal to stay near to him. After sometime, Rakhal slipped out of the house, taking advantage of his father's concentration in reading. He webt straight to Dakshineshwar. When Rakhal's father knew about it, he went to Dakshineshwar. On seeing his father, Rakhal tried to hide himself. But Bhagwan did not allow it and asked him to welcome his father. Rakhal immediately went out and welcomed his father with great love and respect. This somewhat changed the mind of Anand Mohan(Rakhal's father). He allowed Rakhal to stay at Dakshineshwar, but requested Bhagwan to send him to house inbetween. From my next posting, I will be writing about the experiences of Rakhal with Bhagwan Sri Ramakrishna. ---- M.Magesh 876, 14th Cross, DSP group Indira Nagar II stage MIEL Bangalore 560 038 phone 5598615-2108 email : mmagesh ---- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
