Sri Swayamprakasananda Saraswati Swami (Alangudi Periyavaa) - 4

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,

 

He had no consciousness of the body and wandered about as an 'avadhoota' [naked

sadhu]. Unaware of the world he wandered about like a madman.

 

[srimad Bhagavatam describes the state of a Jnani as 'unmathha, mookha, jadavat'

-- he is like a madman, the dumb and the inert].

 

His unkept hair hung in knots. The body was frail. The mind, however, going

beyond the differences of man and woman remained pure. Almost always he was

silent or chanting the Divine Names of Lord Narayana. Filled with the nectar of

the Lord's Name he would at times dance, at times sing, at times shed profuse

tears, at times cry out loudly.

 

Wherever the Lord's stories were recited he would go and listen to it. But this

would push him into ecstasy and he would begin to sing, dance and cry. He would

experience horripilation. He would cry out loudly, " Narayana! Narayana! " At

times he would fall down in a swoon.

 

During his wanderings he came to the Holy Place Thiruvisanallur. Sri Ramasubbha

Shasri, who was proud of his scholarliness, lived here. He was a thorn in the

way of all other learned scholars. Due to the pride of his learning he held an

indifferent attitude to the great Bhagavatam. But he turned over a new leaf

after listening to Srimad Bhagavatam from Sri Ramakrishna swami, just once! He

earned deep faith and taste for Srimad Bhagavatam! Suddenly, a deep desire to

discourse on the Bhagavatam took hold of Sri Ramakrishna Swami.
