Pranams at the lotus feet of Thakurji!

Chapter – 17

Prabudhayalmisri is a Bhramin, there was a tragedy took place in his family, so he became so depressed and spend some days in solitude in a cave under the mountain where no people lived, one day he witnessed a divine personality who had great effulgence, soon he accepted the Isai Dharma and went in search of Lord of Christ, on this mission he met several saints and holy men,  he realized that a holy person is living near the shores of Ganga.  Soon he arrived to meet Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, he saw Thakurji and he recollected the dream he had and said “These people do not recognize you, I have recognized you. You are the Lord of Christ.” Thakurji asked ‘Could you see the light?” Misri said “Yes I can. While I was living in my home I could see that often.” Soon Thakurji became emotional and went into Ghat. He gave hand to Misri and said: “It will work the way you want.”

Vishwanath Upadhyay was appointed as representative of Nepal Government in Kolkata, he has profound knowledge in scriptures and engaged in Dharmic activities.  One night he had a dream in that an effulgent divine personality calling him, he was surprised who was that? Where did he live? He did not find the answer so left the dream unnoticed.  After some time there was a flood took place in Ganga and there were many blocks of wood were washed away, it brought heavy damage to public properties, he was not in a position to submit the report of the same to the authorities, after few days the Government of Nepal collected information about him and he was aware of the fact that he would be punished for his absence in the duty.  We all remember Lord only at the time of trouble, during that time we may rush to meet saints and holy men for advice.  Finally he arrived to Thakurji “ Maharaj, kindly shower your mercy on me, otherwise, I will die of guilt and shame.” Thakurji said, “ You narrate all your troubles to Jagathjanani, pray to her, no need to be scared, inform the Government of Nepal about the issue, describe the truth, you will not be harmed.” Later Viswanath Upadhyay was promoted to a higher official for his honesty by the Government of Nepal, he believed it all because of the mercy of Thakurji.
