Pranams at the lotus feet
of Swamiji!
Chapter - I
Umacharan Mukherji visited
Kashi after hearing about Thrailanga Swamiji, he had no intention to become a disciple of Swamiji, he wanted to know what is a rebirth, he was a twice-born had
intense devotion and faith, he had deep faith in Dharma and scriptures. He had the confidence that Swamiji like Siddhapurusha
with the divine energy could describe well about his queries. He took a holy dip in Ganga, he got the information
about Thrailangaswamiji’s hermitage and visited Swamiji. He sat in a corner; he did not go near
Swamiji, after sometime Swamiji’s eyes fell on him. Swamiji was observing the vow of silence,
therefore with gestures, Swamiji asked Umacharan to go out of the hermitage,
though Umacharan wanted to stay there for some time watching at the saints. Mangaldas one of the servants of Swamiji
informed Umacharan to stay out of the hermitage, this incident kept repeated
for another few days, every day Umacharan arrived in the hermitage and seated
in a corner, Mangaldas again asked him to go out of the Hermitage. Umacharan was so disappointed and came out of
the hermitage, this time another servant of Swamiji came and took Umacharan out
of the Hermitage. Umacharan came home
and wept miserably, he had various thoughts in mind ‘How a noble-saint could
throw his devotee out of the hermitage? Why did Swamiji insult me?’ he never
imagined harsh treatment like this. Umacharan
was not disturbing anyone in the hermitage; he was just watching the saints and
holy men. After all these, Umacharan was not willing to accept his
failure. He thought if he pays some money
to his servants, it would be easy to get inside the hermitage, he paid money to
Swamiji’s servants and revealed his intention to visit Swamiji, two of the
servants happily received the money, but Mangaldas flatly refused and said if
Swamiji does not want to see you, then that is final. Umacharan was confident this time and firm
too, two of the servants are on his side, he wanted to get his answer from
Swamiji, he went inside the Mutt.
