A true Paramhansa...

I have always been fascinated by the lives of the great Indian spiritual masters...they were God-realised and could walk on the worldly and the astral plane with equal ease..but what is amazingly touching is there devotion toward their disciples...it was as if They had taken incarnation just to take away the karma of their disciples...no matter how foul the devotee be, the Master would be as loving and caring as a mother who does not see anything wrong in her child. I have read and heard innumerable stories abt the grace and compassion of a Master toward his disciples/devotees, and have also experienced it with Guruji time and again...

Ramkrishna Paramhansa is one such Yogi whom I have always admired...He was a perfect example of simplicity and unquestioning devotion...whenever I would see his picture, it would seem to me as if Ramakrishna would have known nothing else but how to unconditionally love the Divine Mother...as if He knew no other emotion but devotion to Goddess Kali, whom He "adopted" to be His own mother..He would feed her idol (Her) with his own hands, and get angry when She refused to appear before Him in physical form..such child-like love is possible only in the highest state of devotion when the devotee can accept nothing else but the Divine...in that state, the devotee gains such a high pedestal that even God cannot help but get literally ordered around by him..

The almost ubiquitous photo of Ramakrishna 
Ofcourse many found Ramkrishna insane because of his unusual ways, but only the very fortunate like Vivekananda could see the the real Paramhansa, the enlightened and profound Master, behind the guile of a simple unassuming temple priest...

there is a beautiful story abt Ramkrishna that I wish to share...but I think I will do it in the next post...

kp watchin..!!! :)

Jai Gurudev...
