Guest guest Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 A person asked: " It seems that someone requested permission to take you round the whole country for propagandy and for preaching. " Bhagavan replied, " Yes, that was Swami Rajeswarananda himself. You know, he used to live here some years ago. At that time, he was drawing up plans for touring the whole India; to which important places we should go to for delivering lectures; how a special train was to be arranged for travel; how many days to stay in the various places, and so on. I used to hear all that he said and kept quiet. He mistook my silence for consent. Ultimately he arranged to travel by first class, packed all things and said, " Swami, shall we start? " , " Yes, why not? Go and come back, " I said. " What about Bhagavan? " he said. " Me, why? " , I said. " You must preach the essence of the advaita to people in the whole of Inida, Swami, " he said. " Is that so? What can I do? Where to stay? Where to go? I have no place to go to " , I said. He was taken aback. ******************************************************* Nagamma: Letters & Recollections, p. 108 ******************************************************* How many of nowadays advaita-teachers would not be pleased to take the offering?
