An excerpt from Swami Ranganathanandaji Maharaj's life

[Guest guest]

The Sunday lectures by Swami Ranganathananda were very

popular (in Karachi Math during the early 1940s).

Swami Madhavanandaji (who later became the president

of the Ramakrishna Order) asked a monk at the centre

why Shankar (as Swami Ranganathanandaji was known to

his seniors) did not invite him to hear his lecture?

 

Swami Ranganathanandaji replied, “You are my senior.

How can I ask you to come?” Madhavanandaji did attend

Maharaj’s lectures subsequently and commented to

another sadhu, Thakur Shankarke kole niye khela

khelcchen; “Taking Shankar on his lap, Thakur is

playing.”

Ranganathanandaji Maharaj published by Belur Math.
