Yogiraj Sri Shyamacharan Lahiri Mahashay

Pranams at the lotus feet of Yogiraj!

Chapter – 27

There was a mysterious incident happened to photographer Gangadhar.   Mahashay’s disciple Kalikumar Rai wanted to have a photograph with Mahashay, they made to sit Yogiraj in the middle and took a photograph.  The next day after washing the negative the photographer found the photo is fine but Yogiraj is missing.  There was another photographer who came took several shots not to repeat the previous mistake, and he too found that Mahashay was missing in the photograph.  He understood the supernatural powers of Yogiraj and bowed down before him.  He cried and said, “ Maharaj, kindly forgive my mistake, and let me have your picture.” Yogiraj said, “come tomorrow.” Later the photographer managed to get the picture of Mahashay that is widely circulated among the public. 

Once Yogiraj played a trick to his wife Kashimoni Devi, after giving Dheeksha to his wife, they rarely meet each other in the house, they do not spend together in a room,  all the household responsibilities were taken care by Kashimonidevi.   Yogiraj will be always with his devotees and disciple in the ground floor of the house.  One day he came up to meet Kashimonidevi, she shouted at him “ You are too busy with disciples and devotees the whole day, you have never bothered about me or children,  never known about managing affairs of the house, and the work taking place, etc..” seeing her angry, Lahiri Mahashay disappeared from her sight.  He said, “Look at this, are you seeing anything?” Kashimonidevi got really anxious; she did not expect that he would disappear like this.  She begged for pardon and requested him to appear before her.  Yogiraj produces noise from the corner of the room or outside, and continued to play this trick for a while, Kashimonidevi felt uneasy and asked him to appear before her.  She started crying thinking about she had committed an unpardonable mistake to her husband.  Soon Yogiraj appeared before her and said “Leave all the bondage to material things, and always yearn for supreme consciousness, once you attain the supreme bliss, you will never feel for any outward happiness or desire.  Do not worry, soon a disciple will come and give you money to run the house smoothly.”
