Dear Members,

 

Source: THE VISION

 

One evening at the Sevagram ashram, hundreds of people

had gathered for the night prayer meeting. The sun was

about to set and it was the time when snakes begin to

come out after the fierce heat of the Indian day. This

evening a cobra was seen gliding toward the gathering.

A cobra’s bite is swift and deadly, and in the

villages of India , where medical help is usually far

away, such snakes strike terror into everyone. A

ripple of panic began to seep through the crowd, and

there was danger that some might be trampled if the

terror spread. But Gandhiji quietly showed a sign not

to move.

 

Gandhiji was seated on the platform. He wore only his

dhoti or loincloth; legs, chest, and arms were bare.

While the crowd held its breath and watched, the cobra

made its way straight for Gandhiji and slowly began to

crawl up over his thighs. There was a long moment of

silence in which no one dared to move or make a sound.

Gandhiji must have been repeating his mantram, Rama,

Rama, Rama. Even the cobra lost all trace of fear. In

its own way it must have sensed it was in the presence

of someone who would never cause it suffering. Slowly,

quietly it crawled away, leaving everyone unharmed.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

 

Regards
