Friends, Its been a long time I wrote anything here... few days back I was pondering over the various ways through which crores of disciples of our Guruji serve Him all around the universe..some decorate His holy portrait with beautiful flowers, sandalwood pastes, beautiful dhotis, angavastrams.. some offer cotton and some give silk dhotis etc. the wealthy devotees decorate Him even with golden ornaments like crowns or necklaces etc. or they would made gorgeous or big Altars (Sinhasans) for Guruji...some other devotees offer various types of cooked delicacies...different types of dishes and sweets etc. But is it all??? Is this what actually our Holy Gurudev crave for???? Is this the way through one can please Him???
Do you all know about a Gujarati Couple named as the Shresti Couple??? If not... then please find out and read it... you all would be stunned the Seva or Service they did... Just think what they did that the Lord of unlimited universe did their last rites with His own pious hands and granted them salvation!!!! You will find their story in the preface of Vedavani Part II written by Shri Indubhushan Banerjee mohashoy... shall I tell?? or you all know about it... you know what they did??? their story is just miraculous!! This couple was one of the richest and wealthiest family in Gujarat... they were having sons, daughters and their children etc. Once there was some family function in their house and it was at that time when a photographer was called to their house to take some memorable snaps of the moment... accordingly the photographer took snaps and when the photos were developed to their astonishment they found that in one of the photos where only the couple had taken a photo there was an unknown person standing at their back!!! But when the photo was taken that person was not present there... then who is He???? they all become confused!!!! but the couple became restless to find out about the whereabouts of this person... simultaneously they started their search but without any success... now slowly they started feeling attracted to the portrait of that unknown figure and daily they used to stare at Him for hours... days, months & years rolled on but they couldn't find Him... now the couple lost all their interest in their material life and subsequently gave all their wealth among their children equally and left their home leaving behind their crying family members...now their only aim in their life was left to search for that attractive holy figure who had captured their inner self, mind & everything!! they would stare at His Holy portrait the whole day without doing anything with tears of love rolling down their eyes... I hope by now you all would have understood that who that unknown holy figure was which was none other than our Gurudev!!! subsequently they had become very very old and then one day they saw our Guruji at the Dashashvamedh Ghat at Varanasi...they couldn't walk properly... immediately both of them prostrated at the Holy Lotus Feet of Gurudev and didn't got up from there... they left their bodies in that state itself... everything happened peacefully without any knowledge to others... Guruji also quietly did their last rites and left the place... Now here can you tell what Seva they did???? If you understood, please do tell me... rest later... always remember the Naam!! Jai Ram!!!
