Greatness of Guru-2

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

Can His words be falsified?

 

 

One of our Bangalore devotees narrated this experience

of his –

 

Early in 2000, Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji expressed a

desire to conduct Srimad Bhagavata Sapatha Shatakrutu

in Guruvayoor. This is an event where Srimad

Bhagavata parayana is conducted as a Saptaham (7 days)

by 108 Bhagavatas. Devotees from Bangalore were given

the responsibility to make arrangements for this grand

function.

 

As a kick start to this great function, an initial

meeting of the organizers was planned. Sri Swamiji

kindly consented to come over to Bangalore to preside

over this meeting.

 

During the meeting Sri Swamiji gave valuable pointers

and suggestions towards organizing the meeting. It

was amazing to learn the organizational and management

skills from our Guru Maharaj. At one point, Sri

Swamiji mentioned that it would rain, immediately

after the Saptaham. All were taken aback by this

prediction, however the other tasks and activities

kept everyone quite busy not giving much room to think

about it in detail.

 

The 6 days of Saptaham went on very well. It was

extremely grand and fabulous in all respects. The

seventh day dawned. It was May 17, 2000, a sunny and

bright morning.

The hundreds of bhagavatas assembled there completed

the last verse of the last chapter of the last canto

of Srimad Bhagavatam. After Bhagavat Gita recital,

the divine couple was to proceed to the temple pond to

take a holy dip – Avabrutha Snanam.

 

With the traditional huge umbrellas canopying the Lord

who was mounted on a jewel-decked elephant, the

procession started. Suddenly the weather changed.

Dark clouds set in, and cool breeze blew. As the Nama

Kirtan was performed during the procession, it started

drizzling. As the chants of the divine Name reached a

crescendo, it poured heavily. As the whole city was

drenched in the joy of Nama Kirtan, it felt as if

Varuna (the god of Rains) couldn’t resist himself! It

poured heavily, signaling Sri Premika Varadan’s

acceptance of the great Yagna.

 

But the Bangalore could read between the lines! They

realized that it just corroborated Sri Swamiji’s

predictions. Could His words be ever falsified?
