Thakur said in “Vedavani “ that nothing will remain only “Naam” will
be there. He insisted that to patiently take Naam is the only path.
Naam is like a small dot in a circle, in the initial stages. Gradually
by continuous (“Ananyacheta”) remembering of Naam the dot becomes bigger. Naam is the living God.
The 16 word 32 syllable Mahamantra ” Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare” elevates
the soul of the singer. The repetition of this Mahamantra is called
Kirtan. Singing the Mahamantra loudly is called Sankirtan. Kirtan can
be done internally in the mind also.
The relationship between Thakur and his devotees can never be fathomed.
Thakur always attracts his devotees in an invisible dimension the bonds
of which are very strong. I will narrate a story of a husband and wife
devotee who lived in Rajasthan and were Marwaris (a sect of Hindus known
for business acumen).
The well to do business family couples were very happy. One day a
photographer was called in to take a photograph of the couple. The
photographer developed the negative (1920 -30 approx) but was perplexed
to find the image of a third person standing in between the couples. The
photographer could not unravel the mystery and gave the photo to the
couples. The couples were also very surprised to see the image of a
third person, whom they had never seen earlier. Gradually they developed
a habit of staring at the photo of the person standing behind them. The
husband slowly became dis-interested towards business and started
neglecting his shop and spent days ruminating on the mysterious picture.
The relatives met the couple and counseled them to stop the peculiar
habit of staring at the photo. The man again started doing his business
but after some time he again got back to his habit of spending his time
looking at the picture.
Later on they stopped their business and started traveling throughout
India from one holy place to another searching for this man in the
picture. They had become old by this time and reached Varanasi. They
stayed in Varanasi and had become too old to walk up to the River Ganges
and have their bath. So every morning palanquin bearers brought them to
the Ghat (place of bathing) and after holy dip they returned to their
place and spent the day as usual looking at the picture.
One day early in the morning they were going for bath when they suddenly
noticed Thakur standing quietly by the side of Ghat. They got down from
the palanquin prostated at the feet of the man they had seen in the
picture. They died at the spot at the moment. Thakur called people and
got both of the bodies cremated at the Manikarnika Ghat of Varanasi.
In most of the images of Sri Sri Thakur you will notice his hands are in
a typical mudra (if at all they can be seen). His eyes are piercing as
if they can see What I was, I am now and what I will be. His body and
stance typically reflects the tapasyi ( one whose life is a
penance casually withstanding all hardships in divine light).
Sri Sri Thakur always stressed on TRUTH. Many times He quoted the
following sanskrit verses and asked devotees to dwell upon them :
“Satyam Param Dhimahi; Namo Bhramana Devaya, Namaste Bhrama Tejase”
Roughly translated in English – Let us meditate on the Eternal Truth,
Homage to the the Eternal Lord (Bhraman), and Salutations to His Eternal
Radiance (Tejase).
If you look at Sri Sri Ram Thakurs photograph and call upon him with
faith. He will answer you and protect you – may be not like a human
being but somehow you will be able to know that he has listened.
Thakur (as referred, by his disciples) wrote many letters to his
followers. These letters were compiled into a series of books called
“Vedavani”. Apart from this some of his close disciples wrote memoirs.
Most of this books are in Bengali, and it is not very easy to translate
them in english or in other language, as there is always a chance of not
being able to interpret the sense Thakur imbibed in his words.
Thy detail of the great survivor will be in SRI SRI RAMTHAKUR Website...!
