The Care of Holy Gurudev for All

 

Dear All, for the past somedays I am sharing with you all some of the greatest experiences and incidents related to Sri Madhob Pagla but today while preparing to write suddenly a beautiful and divine story came into my mind which is related with and has been narrated also by Sri Sadananda Chakraborty babu about whom I have already mentioned in my earlier posts in this blog.  It once happened that our Holy beloved Gurudev was staying somewhere in Bangladesh and an utsav was being organised under the holy guidanceship of Sri Sri Thakur!!! As you all must be aware that as per our Gurudev’s instructions the basic criteria of the holy festivals of Sri Sri Satyanarayan is to be having Akarta bhav (detachment) and surrendering everything into the holy lotus feet of the Lord and thus accordingly everything was done following strictly those guidelines!! Another very important order from Sri Sri Thakur was that nobody means nobody should be sent away without taking Mahaprasad and accordingly it was ensured positively by the volunteers of the utsav very strictly!! Sadananda babu was entrusted with the job of taking care of Sri Sri Thakur and who would be always with Him for His immediate needs. The utsav went off very beautifully and peacefully and everybody took Mahaprasad happily and went away.  Sadananda babu who had already prepared a sweetened water syrup requested Sri Sri Thakur to accept it but Gurudev enquired whether everybody has taken Mahaprasad or not to which he replied in affirmative but Gurudev didn’t seemed to be satisfied with the answer of Sadananda babu and asked him to check again!!!  After checking very carefully that everybody has taken Mahaprasad, Sadananda babu came back and told as everybody has taken Mahaprasad but Sri Sri Thakur wasn’t still satisfied and told that him that you did not checked properly, go and check again!! It was drizzling outside and already people who had came to the utsav premises had left and there was no one outside but since it was Sri Sri Thakur’s order Sadananda babu went out and looked everywhere, checked every corner and even came to the road connected with the house but couldn’t found anyone!! There was water and muddy ways everywhere and after ensuring properly that nobody is there he came and told Sri Sri Thakur that it is raining outside and I have gone outside upto the road and it is muddy everywhere and I couldn’t found anybody there!!! At this Sri Sri Thakur remarked that due to rain and muddy ways you don’t want to look or check properly!! And Suddenly became serious and said I don’t want anything!!! At this Sadananda babu became little afraid and went outside the house on the road and again tried to check properly and looked every corner very carefully, it was the time of a rainy evening and as usual there was nobody on the road due to rain and muddy ways!! Sadananda babu started walking on the road getting wet and then suddenly he saw a very frail and weak dog who was hidden under a heap of paddys (which is very common in villages of Bengal) came out and looking innocently towards him with a hope of mercy on it!! Sadananda babu took pity on the dog and thought inside Oh! poor creature !! It seems it is very hungry and has not been able to eat anything for days!! May be thats why, Sri Sri Thakur didn’t agreed to accept anything!! He called the dog to the utsav premises and the dog also followed him waving its tail and Sadananda babu with utmost care placed a clean plantain leaf before it and served the Mahaprasad to it which the dog ate very quickly!! Sadananda babu served the dog 3 times the Mahaprasad and after being satisfied the dog left the utsav premises slowly!! Sadananda babu again looked every corner very carefully and after ensuring properly that nobody is left came back and narrated the entire story to Him!! Sri Sri Thakur immediately jumped up and laughed happily and said yes, yes! He had came to the utsav premises earlier hoping to get some Mahaprasad but everybody chased and thrashed him away from there and thats why being felt offended didn’t ate anything for the whole day !!! Now, give me what you have kept for me!! Sadananda babu with tears in his eyes and seeing the care of Sri Sri Thakur even for a dog & gave Him the glass of sweetened water!! Sri Sri Thakur then asked Sadananda babu also to take Mahaprasad as He was knowing that Sadananda babu who was truly dedicated to the holy lotus feet of Gurudev wouldn’t take anything until and unless Gurudev eats anything!!  I remember Sant Tulsidasji’s quotation as Hari Ananta Hari Katha Ananta, Kahahi Sunahi Bahu Bidhi Sab Santa!! All Glory to Sri Sri Thakur and Holy Sri Naam!! Jai Ram!!
