Greatness of Guru as experienced by Devotees-1

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

I am here with sharing few series of our Swamiji's blessed devotees divine

experiences.

Led to the Sadguru by Bhagavan!

 

I used to frequent Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai, before I came to Sri

Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji. A close friend of mine introduced me to Sri Swamiji.

After His discourse on Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharishi’s

Aksharamanamalai, I felt that there was something more than what met the eyes

but I was probably not willing to accept it. I began to feel drawn to the divine

atmosphere in Premika Bhavanam.

 

I went to Sri Ramanasramam and standing in front of Bhagavan’s samadhi shed

tears. I said to Bhagavan [mentally], “Don’t you like me anymore? Why are you

sending me away to someone else? If you do not want me here I will not come but

do not send me somewhere else.”

 

No sooner did I speak to Bhagavan in this manner than a stranger came up to me

and asked, “It seems Sri Muralidhara Swamiji discoursed wonderfully on

Aksharamanamalai at Chennai. How was it?” I at once reeled on how wonderful it

was. The person went away and I turned to Bhagavan and began all over again.

 

“Don’t you like me anymore?.............” Suddenly I heard someone call me and

turning around was faced with exactly the same question, “It seems Sri

Muralidhara Swamiji discoursed on Aksharamanamalai at Chennai. How was it?”

Once again with all enthusiasm I said it was simply

wonderful! The person left and I turned to Bhagavan once again.

 

It might appear an exaggeration but it is true that three or four times when I

implored to Bhagavan not to throw me out, my attention was drawn by someone and

the same question asked and I gave the same reply in all enthusiasm.

 

I stopped and thought, ‘I am not familiar with anyone here. I have never spoken

to anyone here in all these years of my visit to Sri Ramanasramam. Nobody has

bothered me. How can these people know that I am from Chennai? How do they know

that I had attended Sri Swamiji’s discourse on Aksharamanamalai? But today,

whenever I turn to Bhagavan with tears imploring Him not to throw me out some

stranger comes to me and enquires about Sri Swamiji’s discourse on

Aksharamanamalai and I speak enthusiastically about it!’

 

And a sudden peace descended on my disturbed mind and heart realizing that

Bhagavan was not throwing me out but was only helping me ‘in’ by leading me to

my Sadguru!
