The Great Disciple Sri Madhob Pagla-I


This post is in continuation with the earlier one.  As I have told in my earlier post that the deity Lord Sri Govinda used to converse with this great devotee regularly and his relationship with Him was of Vatsalya bhav means like affectionate love with a child. Once it so happened that as usual after the night puja was over, Sri Madhob Pagla took the deity inside the rest room of the Lord to put Him to sleep and when he was about to leave just at that moment the Lord suddenly spoke and asked him to press his holy feet and to fan him for a while!! He got irritated a little bit at this since large number of devotees were waiting outside for the prasadam as per daily practice and he had lot of other chores also to be done. He said to Lord what is this request at this moment?? You know I have other works also to do, I am sorry I cannot fulfil your demand now!! Let me complete the pending work then I will certainly come and serve you!! But the Lord was adamant!! But as Sri Madhob Pagla tried to move from there, to his utter surprise he couldn’t move an inch!!! The people outside were shouting and calling him as what had happened?? Why you are taking so much of time??etc. He tried to answer them but that was also not possible since he couldn’t talk also!! So the condition has become very critical for him, he couldn’t move or talk and had become totally paralysed by the holy Lord!! Sri Madhob Pagla very well understood as why it is happening. He prayed to Lord Sri Govinda for his holy mercy and slowly regained very little energy just only to fulfil the demands of the Lord!! Therefore, he pressed His feet for a while and also fanned the Lord for a while and then kissed Him on His forehead and asked for His permission to leave to which the Lord accepted and then slowly Sri Madhob Pagla regained all his powers to move and talk!! He came out and didn’t revealed it to anybody inspite of people blaming  to be so late as nobody would believe and understand it!! But inside his heard there were huge waves of affectionate love & divine happiness dancing and playing for the Lord !! Jai Ram!!
