Chapter – 2

Kinaram arrived in Gazhipur, and took shelter under Sant Shivram who was the follower of Ramanuja Sampradaya,  he was well known and respectable in the city of Gazhipur.  Kinaram had a long-cherished wish to live close to a saint and worship Lord Rama.  Sant Shivaramji was too pleased with the devotion of   Kinaram and allowed him to stay with him.  Sant Shivaramji informed him that he will give Dheeksha at the right moment.  Kinaram waited for few  more days and approached with the same request to Sant Shivaramji, in this way he kept approaching the Sant with his request and he kept delaying the same.  One day, Sant Shivaramji said “ Kina, today I will give you Dheeksha on the river bank of Ganga.” Kinaram was extremely happy to hear from Guru, his wish is getting fulfilled after so long.

On the way to Ganga Ghat, Sant Shivaram gave his Kamandal and seat to Kinaram and said: “ You go to Ghat and wait for me, I will finish my ritual bath and will join soon.” Kinaram took the materials from Guru and waited in the Ghat, soon he realized that the waves of Ganga touching at his feet, as if Ma Ganga is earning for the touch of his feet.   Kinaram finished his morning rites and came up to shore, again the waves appeared closer to his feet, he moved to the higher areas, the same thing kept repeating for some time.  Kinaram was baffled, he even forgot about his Guru and Dheeksha.  Sant Shivaramji was standing behind Kinaram and silently watching these unique incidents, he thought Kinaram must be a divine personality.  Sant Shivaramji was kept thing about this boy “ Who is this boy? Is the divine personality or incarnation of the Lord?”  Sant Shivaramji after finishing his bath, he took Kinaram to the shrine and gave Dheeksha.
