Dear Guru brothers/sisters! There was another incident mentioned in the book written by Sri Phanindra Malakar about
himself. It was so that once he had a desire of taking sanyas from the sansar or renouncing the
material world and go in search of God and do sadhana in a forest. But he didn’t
revealed it to anybody in his home. Instead he
thought he would quietly leave his home without anybody’s knowledge and take
sanyas. It can be mentioned here that he was unmarried at that time. But our almightly Lord Sri Sri Thakur who is antaryami and nothing could be hidden from Him, was knowing everything and on the night of his
escaping Guruji alerted the family members of Malakar babu and he was caught and
stopped from going. Malakar babu was quite surprised and when he came to know that they were informed by
Gurudev Himself he felt very dejected at heart also felt being betrayed by
Him. Next morning, when he went to met Sri Sri Thakur along with the family members
He explained in detail as what is actual sanyas. Gurudev asked Malakar babu that "have you acquired
that qualification to stay in forest and amongst the animals? Do you have the
basic eligibility? If you have violence in you heart, your violence will attract
the animals to attack you!! First gain that qualification!! You have previous
births karmas due to which you have taken birth here in this family otherwise
you would have taken birth in some isolated part of the world and until and
unless you pay all your debts you cannot escape from here. Where will you go?
Wherever you go, your prarabdha will also follow you!" (Guruji used to say that
our forehead is our fate and you cannot keep your forehead at a place and go to
some other place, it will go with you wherever you go! Further also when you die
and your body is fully burned into ashes your forehead bone only remains!!)
Sri Sri Thakur further said that "Don’t try to run away from your karmas instead face them (like Arjuna who also
tried to run away from his duties but was ultimately brought back by Sri
Krishna) Guruji also said that instead of going to aranya (forest) stay in this
sansar aranya (world forest) and do tapas or sadhana through bearing with
patience all sorts of miseries, blames given by family members, society etc.
different types of difficulties, agony, sorrow etc. keep your mind at the lotus
feet of God and do all your duties with an akarta bhav (detached state). This is
called nitya tapasya and I bless you to be able to do that." So here we can see
that how beautifully Gurudev explained that sanyas is not meant to be escaping from
your home instead it means facing all difficulties with patience and keeping your mind in the holy feet of your
God/Guru.
In my earlier post I had revealed one secret told by Sri Sri Thakur that Sri Phanindra Malakar babu was none other than a Gopi during the Vrindavan leela and our Gurudev was none other than Lord Sri Krishna Himself!! I would like to reveal some more unkown great & divine facts about this great disciple of our Gurudev!! Most of you would be knowing that Sri Sri Thakur had the habit of addressing everybody as "Apni" in bengali whether it was a young boy or an old man, therefore Gurudev used to address Malakar babu also as "Apni" but that was in front of all only!!! Whenever Malakar babu used to accompany Sri Sri Thakur, he used to sleep in the same room along with our Gurudev so as to look after Him during night. Sri Sri Thakur would be sleeping on the bed and Malakar babu would be sleeping on the floor. Sri Sri Thakur very rarely used to sleep and almost all the nights when everybody went to sleep and the whole world is in deep sleep, Malakar babu on seeing Sri Sri Thakur awake used to enter inside the mosquito net of Gurudev & start pressing His holy feet or His body and during that time Sri Sri Thakur used to address Malakar babu as "Tumi"!!! Malakar babu also used to address Sri Sri Thakur as "Tumi"! During this time they used to discuss about various highly spiritual matters and Sri Sri Thakur would explain him many secret facts about the spiritual world! Malakar babu would ask Him those questions which he couldn't ask Him during the day time owing to the presence of many devotees and it is at this time only when suddenly Sri Sri Thakur once asked Malakar babu to stand on the back of Gurudev's body to give Him comfort!! Hearing this Order Malakar babu was totally dumbstruck and taken aback!! He pleaded that "how is it possible?? You are my Lord and I am your devotee, how can I put my feet on your holy body??" Gurudev smiled and asked malakar babu that "Have you forgotten everything about your previous birth?? Have you forgotten the type of relationship we had in the past??" Malakar babu replied in negative. Sri Sri Thakur told him that "you were my Gopini and our relationship was of prema bhakti!! and in this relationship there is no question any sin!!" Malakar babu understood everything and followed the Order of Sri Sri Thakur and did exactly what was told by Gurudev!! Dear Friends! these were those secret facts which throws light on the type of divine relationship this great disciple used to share with our Gurudev!! Keep an eye on the blog..there are more to come!! Kindly tell your other Guru brothers & sisters about this blog where they can know many unknown divine things about our beloved Gurudev!! The main motive behind narrating all these incidents is know how to do bhakti or how to love one's God which these great devotees have shown to the world!!
Jai Ram!
