The walking Lord of Varanasi – Sri Thrailanga Swamiji

Pranams at the lotus feet of Swamiji!

 During those days Kashi was ruled by King of Kashi, while India was under the regime of British rule.  Swamiji was always moved around without clothes, it disturbed the locals so they compliant to police,   English men questioned him and informed him that Swamiji is not allowed to roam around without clothes, it is a crime to walk around naked, therefore they requested Swamiji to cover with clothes, but he did not pay any attention to their words, the judge got infuriated and ordered to arrest Swamiji, suddenly Swamiji disappeared from their sight.  The whole court was stunned at this, they continued search for Swamiji.  There was a pious Bengali officer in the court informed the officer that it is very normal among the ascetics to roam around undressed, and Thrailanga Swamiji is not an ordinary person to talk about, he is Yogeshvara, he has no difference of a home or prison, he is void of impurities like fear, hatred, pride, jealous, desire, anger, lust, etc… he said Swamiji has no difference of sandalwood paste or secretion, after this conversation they could see Thrailangaswamiji in the courtroom.  English officer did not believe the Bengali officer, Indians will always have a soft corner for their people, and moreover English man’s pride was not willing to accept the holiness of Swamiji, he asked Swamiji to eat his meal, it was the meat of a cow, English officer was very sure about the fact that ascetics will not consume meat, and that to cow meat is unthinkable for them.  Swamiji replied that he can consume his meal, before that the English personnel should eat Swamiji’s meal, English man thought it must be fruit or milk which is the usual meal of ascetic, but Swamiji collected a handful of his urine and told him it is his today’s meal, and asked him to consume it, English officer was shocked and remained pale, Swamiji without any hesitation consumed his urine.  Finally, he realized the divine powers of Swamiji and asked him to release and Swamiji is allowed to roam around Kashi as the way he wants, no one should put any ban or complaints on Swamiji.
