Sri Swayamprakasananda Saraswati Swami (Alangudi Periyavaa) - 5

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,

 

Sri Ramakrishna Swami arrived at the village Kamakshipuram. Sri Panchanata Iyer,

a resident of this village, welcomed him with all reverence. Many others joined

him. But the great renunciate said to them, " I have not come here for food. I

have come here with the deep desire to discourse on the Bhagavatam. Is anyone

interested to listen to it? "

 

Hearing this, some of them prostrated to the Swami and said to him, " It is

verily our fortune that you have come here to bless us. But some amongst us feel

embarrassed to see you an 'avadhoota' [naked Sadhu]. We do not possess your

spiritual maturity; hence, though we all deeply yearn to hear the Bhagavatam we

hesitate to come to your presence on this account. "

 

The surprised Swami said to them, " If this state of mine proves a block to

giving discourses or listening to the Bhagavatam I will embrace sanyas and live

according to scriptural injunctions. "

 

All present there were wonderstruck. The Swami at once set out and received

sanyasa, as per Scriptural injunctions, from Sri Panangudi Swami. Sri Panangudi

Swami gave him the 'diksha' name of Swayam Prakasananda Saraswati [one who

shines on his own] because like Prahlad he had had attained Jnana without a Guru

in a human body. Sri Panangudi Swami comes down in a great lineage of Mahans who

were all Krishna Bhaktas and loved Srimad Bhagavatam.
