The walking Lord of Varanasi – Sri Thrailanga Swamiji

Pranams at the lotus feet of Swamiji!

 Swamiji continued that there is a ferry coming from the opposite shore, and it is full of passengers, that ferry is going to sink very soon, he has to save the people from deep waters.  Immediately he disappeared from the sight of the ascetic.  In a few minutes, the ascetic saw the terrifying scene that ferry is sinking and people are screaming for help, after few minutes he witnessed the ferry is safe with the people on board and it embarked on the shore where Swamiji was seated.  The ascetic prostrated before Swamiji and asked how he did save the lives of people, he replied that every human has the immense mental strength and it is called supreme spirit.  The self-realization is the technique to realize the nature of the soul which is the representation of the supreme spirit, once we understand the nature of soul then there is no difference between soul and supreme spirit, people who do not realize the nature of soul will never understand the nature of supreme spirit.  In order to learn the nature of soul/knowledge of self, we should utilize mind, intellect, and soul which are the prime instrument in the human body.  Lord Surya spread its radiance and removes the darkness, in the same manner, the soul in our body emanates rays and sense organs start functioning, and the soul/Atman is not doing anything.  He lived four years in Prayag and moved to the sacred land of Kashi.  He was heard of Mughal invasion, looting of shrines and destruction of the famous shrines of Bindhumadhav and Vishwanath during his childhood days.   He resided outside of Kashi near Lolark Kund, he sits near the banks of river and engages in deep meditation, people who came to take bath in holy Ganga look at the saint and reverentially prostrate before him, some people come and sit close to him and talk about their places of origin, finally he became known as Thrailangaswamji in all over Kashi.
