Chapter -XII

Sri Dayananda Saraswathi visited Kashi, he was come to this land to give lectures on Aryasamaj, he gave speeches against the deities of Hindu and several scholars remained silent.  There was a debate in Gauri Kund and many scholars were defeated in the debate, Dhayanandswaraswathi proclaimed that there is one supreme spirit and He has no form, his organization had similarities of Bhramasamaj in Kolkata, many were becoming disciples of Dayananda Saraswathi.  He established Aryasamaj in Varanasi.  Many spiritually devoted people felt deeply hurt, came in the hermitage of Thrailanga Swamiji and revealed their distress against Aryasamaj and their disrespect towards Hindu deities, after listening to their qualms Swamiji wrote something on the paper and send to Dhayanandasaraswathi, after reading the message Dhayanandhasarasaraswathi disappeared from Kashi.

Somewhat like this incident happened to Umacharanji as well. He was working in a pharmaceutical company in Munger, his office mate was Mahendralal Gosh found some error in accounting and some money was missing, both of them were terribly upset about this because these two were in charge of finance.   Umacharan has the prime responsibility on the finance, they conducted meticulous search and it continued for three months, but there was no fruitful result.  These two-person jobs were at a risk, leaving work with a black mark and taking part in pilfering money around six hundred rupees both will earn stain in their lives.   Those days six hundred rupees was big money, he wanted to get rid of these troubles and returned to Kashi. He was quite confident that Swamiji will guide him in this matter, Swamiji asked him ‘ Child, you came here to find out the missing money, you and your friend Gosh are the same, you have sent two drafts worth 300 and 200 to two companies, and the receipts and acknowledgments are in the file, and the remaining hundred rupees Gosh will find out.” Umacharan returned to Munger and found the receipts in the file for 500 rupees, the hundred rupees which they found while rigorously searching in a box by Gosh, he was beaming with joy. Gosh said ‘You are fortunate to become a disciple of Swamiji, I will definitely visit Kashi with you, with all my hearts I sincerely prostrate before Swamiji ten thousand times.”  There were numerous disciples of Thrailanga Swamiji narrated his supernatural activities and there are several books describes the glories of Thrailangaswamiji.

One day the sacred city Kashi woke up with terrible news that Swamiji decided to embrace Samadhi, Panchaganga Ghat crowded with people, there are numerous Siddhapurusha, Yogis, saints and holy men arrived in Kashi, but none of them were taken Samadhi while living, it was  on 1887,  Shukla paksha Ekadashi day,  Swamiji sacrificed his mortal coil and attained Samadhi.
