Yogeshwarji once again came to
the DevPrayag in the holy Himalayas. Chakradharji, an eminent scholar showed
him a beautiful place to stay which Yogeshwarji liked at the first sight. It
had a small mango grove and a running brook nearby. 30 years ago, an ascetic
named Bhartibaba had stayed there; it was his land of penance but was
uninhabited since his death. There, Chakradharji cleaned the place and
erected a cottage. It was named Shantashram due to the lean river Shanta
flowing thereby. That was the place where in later years Yogeshwarji
performed strenuous penance for years and achieved an extraordinary
spiritual state.
Once, Yogeshwarji received a
command in meditation that he should go to Dakshineshwar, the dwelling place
of Ramakrishna ParamhansaDev. In a novel experience, a night before
Yogeshwarji's departure for Dakshineshwar, an unknown black human figure
appeared and embraced him.
At Dakshineshwar,
Yogeshwarji's wish was to stay at the premises of the temple but trustees
didn't granted him permission. An unknown gentleman named Pulin Babu
arranged for his stay at the temple with his acquaintance. During his stay
at Dakshineshwar, Yogeshwarji was graced by the darshan of Divine mother.
Yogeshwarji decided to return
to Devprayag, but he found himself short of money. In spite of mere days
acquaintance, Pulin Babu's wife decided to sell her ornaments. As if it was
not enough, to their surprise Pulin Babu's old friend who betrayed them
returned the money. His friend even told that he returned the money as he
wanted to serve the mahatma who had come from the Himalayas!
Once at Devprayag, Yogeshwarji
decided to visit Almoda ashram of Maa Anandmayee. An inner voice during
meditation instructed him that he would not be able to see her, but
Yogeshwarji went there only to found that the inner voice was true.
Yogeshwarji also received a unique diksha from an unknown ascetic during
meditation. |
