Saint Sketch -6- Sri Narsi Mehta -Last Part- By Sri.Sri.Muralidhara Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,

 

“We assure you that if the Maha Mantra is chanted continuously with unshakeable

faith and perseverance, the " impossible " becomes " possible " . There are

innumerable instances that stand as testimonials to this assertion.”

The fact was that Narsi did know anyone by name Shyamalasa at Dwarka and the

letter that he had written had actually been addressed to none other than his

Lord Dwarakadeesha who is also known as Shyamala because of his dark blue hue.

He shed profuse tears in front of his Lord praying to Him to help keep up his

word of assistance by Him and to take care of those devotees who had trusted him

with their money.

 

The devotees reached Dwaraka and went in search of Shyamalasa to whom Narsi had

addressed a letter. They had absolute faith in Narsi as he was a great sadhu.

Without Shyamalasa’s help their Yatra would be impossible. A very handsome young

man in royal attire came up to them and introduced himself as Shyamalasa. He

made all arrangements for their comfortable stay and pilgrimage; he also gave

them the amount of cash that they had entrusted to Narsi. He also wrote a letter

addressed to Narsi, which bore his signature. He requested the devotees to give

it to Narsi when they visited his place. Soon this young man left.

 

Thinking of the plight of the devotees, due to his act, Narsi did not take a

drop of water and pleaded with the lord to show His boundless mercy on these

devotees who were on a pilgrimage. Narsi even decided to give up his life if

these devotees suffered due to his thoughtless act. While he spent his days

thus, one day, Narsi heard the same melodious kirtan and rushed out and saw the

same group of devotees who he had met four months ago and whose cash he had used

for the welfare of his daughter. Narsi fell at their feet with tear filled eyes

and begged their pardon for what he had done. The devotees were doubly

enthralled when they came to know that it was the Lord who came for their help

and embraced Narsi. Looking at the letter which the Lord had himself written to

him, tears rolled down Narsi’s eyes and Narsi started singing and dancing along

with those devotees, completely drowned in the limitless mercy of the Vrindaban

lad.

 

Truly, the Lord who is unattainable even through severe austerities is easy for

those who sing His glories. Isn’t He?

 

Indeed the relationship between a genuine devotee and the Lord is for eternity.

 

Chant the Mahamantra Nama kirtan :

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
