Pranams at the lotus feet of Baba Lokenath Maharaj!

Chapter – 6

Lokenath and Benimadhav with his preceptor Ganguly Mahashay conducted journey to Himalaya, and further to Persia, Arabia, Israel and Mecca where they met the prophet and both of the preceptors of different religions embraced each other with great love.  Prophet blessed the young ascetics, he received them with great reverence, he requested them to teach lessons on scriptures, and in return, he would teach them Quran, in this way the great union of two religions ‘Puran and Quran’ took place.  The saints of two religions spent their days in learning scriptures and sacred text.

Ganguly Mahashay along with Lokenath and Benimadhav visited Kashi.  Mahashay took the young saints to renowned Swamiji and formally introduced to him.   Once Ganguly Mahashay said his time to leave this world has arrived.   Lokenath could not bear the words of his preceptor, he wept bitterly.  That night Lokenath could not sleep, in the same night, he found his preceptor was missing.  He called Benimadhav that their preceptor is not in the chamber, they conducted a search through the twist and turns of the street of Kashi, finally, they arrived on the river bank of Ganga, they met Swamiji who was a close associate of his preceptor.  He was undertaking meditation on the river bank of Ganga; Lokenath worriedly enquired about his preceptor.  The Swamiji instructed them to check in Manikarnika Ghat, they rushed through the stairs, found their preceptor was sitting on the steps leading to Mahashmashana in Padmasana posture staring at the funeral pyre.  Lokenath and Benimadhav had immense relief seeing their preceptor; they embraced him, immediately they could realize that his preceptor had already attained union with Bramham.  They performed final rites of their preceptor in an elaborate manner.
