Swami Vivekananda- July 4th the Mahasamadhi day - Part-3

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Swami Vivekananda Part-3

 

Narendra said, “Kali speaks to you and not to me. So, please ask her to help

my family.â€

 

Sri Ramakrishna asked him to visit the Temple at midnight and assured that he

would pray to Mother Kali to give him an audience. Narendra was a fearless youth

and so he walked into the Temple majestically at midnight, to speak to Kali.

Kali appeared before him. The moment he saw the Mother, with folded palms he

prayed to her for pure life filled with Jnana, Bhakti and vairagya! He returned

to Sri Ramakrishna.

Sri Ramkrishna asked him, “Did you have darshan of the Mother? Did you ask her

to remove your poverty?â€

 

Narendra said, “No. The moment I saw her I forgot about it and asked her for a

pure life of Jnana, Bhakti and vairagya.â€

 

Sri Ramakrishna smiled and ordered him to go again to the Temple. Narendra went

to the Temple and the same thing happened. He was once again sent and this time

again it was same prayer. Narendra then explained to the Master, “This time I

did not forget my need. But I felt shameful to ask her to remove my poverty

because it seemed too trivial. When a man goes to the king would it not be

insulting to the king if he were to demand some trivial gift instead of seeking

the costly gems?â€

 

In 1885 Sri Ramakrishna suffered from throat cancer and the disciples shifted

him to Calcutta for medical treatment. He was later taken to Cossipore. Narendra

and his Guru bhais (brother disciples) took complete care of their Master. Every

moment of his life,

 

Sri Ramakrishna trained Narendra and the other chosen disciples. Narendra and

the other chosen disciples were given monastic robes by Sri Ramakrishna,

himself. This formed the first monastic order of Sri Ramakrishna. Sri

Ramakrishna appointed Narendra as the leader of this group. He asked him to take

the brother disciples under his wings, after him. On his death bed, Sri

Ramakrishna to the mental questioning of Narendra who still doubted his

Master’s claim of being the Lord’s Avatar, said, “He who was Rama and He

who was Krishna, is now Ramakrishna in this body.â€
