Radhe Krishna To all, Discourse contd.....
Swami Sivananda who had come down the lineage of such a great Mahan as Appayya Deekshitar any less? While reading the life history of Swami Sivananda we find that he had authored several books. One of the books has been titled as 'Yen vaazhvil kadavull vandaar' – God came into my life. Is not the title appealing? What would one imagine on reading the title? One would, at once, imagine that Swami Sivananda must have narrated on the following lines – 'I sat in dhyana and heard the sound of anklet and Krishna appeared before me playing the flute.' Or, he might have written that the Devi, or Lord Siva or Rama holding the bow had appeared before him. Is this what he calls as the darsan of God in his life?’ With these thoughts if one rapidly turns the pages one finds the words 'God appeared on December 8, in my life.' He then narrates the happenings of that day. All kinds of people visit a Mahan for His darsan because all desire peace. Be he highly educated or illiterate, rich or poor, all desire peace: and, peace is found in the presence of Mahan sans any effort. So, all come to the place of a Mahan. Seeing several people visiting Swami Sivananda, a thief came to the Ashram one night. He got caught. Swami Sivananda called all his disciples and asked what was to be done with him. Each one gave his opinion. One said that he should be handed over to the police; another suggested beating him up thoroughly and sending him away while another suggested just throwing him out of the Ashram. However, Swami Sivananda instructed them, "Go get a chair, a big plate, Ganga water, sandal paste, flowers, fragrant incense and lamp" When all these were obtained, he seated the thief on the chair and himself performed pada-puja (washed his feet and worshipped him) for him! Not only this, the Swami also sprinkled the pada puja water over his head and drank it. All his disciples were aghast. They stood gaping. Swami Sivananda explained, "Don't you all chant the Rudram? Does it not say that Siva is the greatest of all thieves? That He is verily the leader of all thieves? You call Siva a thief but when a thief visits us you are unable to see Siva in him!" This is the day that Swami Sivananda has mentioned as the day of God's visit in his life! !!!
