Enlightening Discourse on Swami Abhedananda,Shivananda, Greatness of Chennai,Namakirtan about Kaliyuga - Part-4

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

Discourse contd.....

 

Swami Sivananda who had come down the lineage of such a great Mahan as Appayya

Deekshitar any less? While reading the life history of Swami Sivananda we find

that he had authored several books.

 

One of the books has been titled as 'Yen vaazhvil kadavull vandaar' – God came

into my life. Is not the title appealing? What would one imagine on reading the

title?

One would, at once, imagine that Swami Sivananda must have narrated on the

following lines – 'I sat in dhyana and heard the sound of anklet and Krishna

appeared before me playing the flute.' Or, he might have written that the Devi,

or Lord Siva or Rama holding the bow had

appeared before him.

Is this what he calls as the darsan of God in his life?’

 

With these thoughts if one rapidly turns the pages one finds the words 'God

appeared on December 8, in my life.' He then narrates the happenings of that

day.

 

All kinds of people visit a Mahan for His darsan because all desire peace.

Be he highly educated or illiterate, rich or poor, all desire peace: and, peace

is found in the presence of Mahan sans any effort. So, all come to the place of

a Mahan.

 

Seeing several people visiting Swami Sivananda, a thief came to the Ashram one

night. He got caught.

 

Swami Sivananda called all his disciples and asked what was to be done with him.

Each one gave his opinion. One said that he should be handed over to the police;

another suggested beating him up thoroughly and sending him away while another

suggested just throwing him out of the Ashram.

 

However, Swami Sivananda instructed them, " Go get a chair, a big plate,

Ganga water, sandal paste, flowers, fragrant incense and lamp "

 

When all these were obtained, he seated the thief on the chair and himself

performed pada-puja (washed his feet and worshipped him) for him! Not only this,

the Swami also sprinkled the pada puja water over his head and drank it. All his

disciples were aghast. They stood gaping.

 

Swami Sivananda explained, " Don't you all chant the Rudram? Does it not say that

Siva is the greatest of all thieves? That He is verily the leader of all

thieves? You call Siva a thief but when a thief visits us you are unable to see

Siva in him! "

 

This is the day that Swami Sivananda has mentioned as the day of God's visit in

his life!
