The walking Lord of Varanasi – Sri Thrailanga Swamiji

Pranams at the lotus feet of Swamiji!

Chapter -VIII

One day Umacharanji while conversing with Swamiji, asked ‘ Baba is it possible for me to envision Lord in this life,’  Swamiji said ‘ with the intense faith and practice, and the grace of preceptor, one can attain supreme Lord. You want to envision Lord?  Rishis, Sages and deities yearn for this, nothing to say about human.’  Umacharanji became too emotional, he took hold of Swamiji’s feet, and asked ‘ Is it possible for me?’  Swamiji said ‘ Today night I will fulfill your wishes. Now you can leave home.”  Umacharanji was too excited so he reached the hermitage early in the evening.  Swamiji took him to his small puja room at the right time, he took a seat and told Umacharan ‘ Go and do darshan of Ma Kali in the next chamber.”  Umacharanji entered the chamber, he prostrated before Ma Kali and silently came out of the chamber, seated near Swamiji, ‘Did you see Ma Kali, you want to see her here.’ Umacharan said ‘ Yes’ he thought how can he bring that idol here, is he going to show real Ma, Umacharan said ‘ It would be a great fortune for me to get darshan of Jagathjanani/Bhavatharani, it will be the piousness of thousands and millions of births.” Swamiji said ‘ Now you be seated silently, do not get excited, or do not speak anything’ after saying this Swamiji immersed in meditation for an hour, after that Swamiji said ‘ Ma Kali, kindly come to this chamber.’ Umacharanji saw a beautiful young lady all dressed in magnificent clothing, adorned in the gem and golden ornaments arrived in the chamber where Swamiji was seated, she had supreme radiance in that light Chaithanyamayi, Vishwamangala,  Jaganmatha appeared in real form.  Umacharan was terrified and lost his voice, his eyes widened with awe, the idol kept in the chamber became lively, Umacharan became silent, Swamiji said “ Umacharan, go and see the idol in the next chamber, check that is there or not, go and check and tell me right now.’ He went to check the idol in the next chamber, but it was missing, panic-struck Mukherji ran out and cried out ‘ No, there is no idol of Ma Kali.”  Swamiji said ‘ Sit silently, do not get excited.’ Umacharan noticed that the lively Ma became an idol and standing close to Swamiji,  Umacharanji with the permission of Swamiji, took the dust particles from the feet of Ma Kali and smeared all over his body, when he touched the feet of Ma Kali, it was not an idol, it was soft and supple like human feet, Swamiji said ‘ Look at Ma Kali, so that your heart will get contented.’ Later Swamiji told ‘ Ma, please take your seat in your chamber.’ She walked out like a beautiful young maiden and went into her shrine, once again turned into an idol; Umacharan had several doubts in his mind.  He asked ‘ Maharaj, how can an idol turn out full of life?, all that I have seen is true?’  Swamiji asked ‘How is your body moving?’ Umacharan replied ‘In the human body, there is a divine soul which makes us move.’ Swamiji replied “ It is Siddhpurusha and holy saints instill the presence of supreme soul in the idol with their several years of Tapasya, therefore these idols listen to us, walk to us, talk to us and do all that like a normal human.’
