I can watch this video again and again and again… so much bliss so much guru kripa I feel to be able to see this soul to know about these souls… feel like my heart is not big enough to hold this joy of hearing about such phenomenal events or the joy that Maharajji is radiating.🙏🏽pronam to these great souls, thakur ma and swamiji
My maternal grandparents were his disciple. The following incidence happened long after my grandmother was initiated. Once she had some family crisis and went to Belur Math in the morning for some peace. She didn't have enough money and barely had money for the bus fare. It was the lunch time and my grandmother was extremely hungry. To take her mind away she sat near the Ganges. Swami Virajananda was served lunch. Swami before eating asked the server : Have you all eaten? The server replied yes everyone had their lunch. But Swami said still one person is very hungry and go and feed that person first. They all went around the Math and asked everyone whom they met if that person had lunch or not. Then after searching for a while one person reached near the Ganges and found my grandmother. When asked she replied that she din't eat. Immediately she was taken to lunch room and was served lunch with many different varieties. After my grandmother's lunch when the server went back to Swami, he told them that now everyone had eaten and then only he ate his lunch. Indeed he was Antarjami! Swami was my grandmother's guru. On that day she didn't go and meet him and I am not sure if every disciple comes to Belur can meet his/her guru without having appointment. But the guru in this case felt the pain of his disciple. I am not sure if such divinity still exists at Belur anymore! The above mentioned story my mother repeated to us many times. I would also like to add one other incidence. My mother was about 15 years old. My grandparents wanted my mother also to be initiated by the Swami. But the Swami refused saying after her marriage she may have different faith and belief. Indeed that was case.
Amazing and heart warming presentation by Swamiji indeed a royal story stellar he was. My gratitude for sharing about such a great soul in this time and age we are indeed blessed to receive gifts about a spiritual diamont. Om Shanti.
Pranam Maharaj. We see same compassion and love in you as we read in book of Swami Abjajananda Maharaj about Swami Virajanand ji Maharaj. The book name is: Monastic disciples of Swami Vivekananda” By Swami Abjajananda. This RU-vid post is close to my heart. Jai Thakur Jai Maa 🙏🌹🙏
One feeling that goes through the whole reminiscences is Divine Joy. This is the fruit of Satsang. Our soul is instantly uplifted to a higher plane.Many many thanks the uploader and Pranam to Maharaj
I had the privilege of showing this video from my phone sometime during Feb'16 to Swami Sridharananda himself at his backside room of Sydney Vedanta Center old building. He was pleasantly surprised and asked who uploaded it. Informed me that a similar one CD version available at Vedanta Center. also for collection. That time I didn't know much about Mondaymedia and just said name as it was in RU-vid. During Sunday Gita Class and at some other retreats, heard him sharing one or two incidents of those days but this is indeed an excellent collection. Later I came to know more about Mondaymedia /Jon and what a rare treasure that you gathered all these years. Didn't know much as about Swami Asheshananda, Swami Prabhavananda ji's time at US centers but these videos give us glimpses of those illuminated souls.
MUST SEE ! MUST SEE ! MUST SEE ! Perhaps the best presented reminiscence I have ever heard! The disciple’s deep reverence for his guru is percolating through the thin veneer of abundant fun. And through this marvellous reminiscence we get a perfect picture of a perfect guru - the ability to see through a person, spotting a worthy disciple, making the surroundings conducive for the disciple’s entry into the Order, and tremendous patience, care, love and affection to mould a ‘raw’ brahmachari to a spiritual giant. Thank you for uploading. Regards
Pranams tio revered Swami Sridharananda ! Heartfelt thanks to give us these rare opportunity to learn about great soul Swami Virajananda. Such a sweet & invaluable reminiscences. Thanks for the upload.
Thank you for uploading this. With prayers i was waiting for such a class. My humble pranams at the Holy feet of Swami Sridharanandaji Maharaj. Thanks again
It is wonderful and heart touching video which has given an oppotunity to us to learn and listen Swami ji memories with his Guru Maharaj. I have a long association with swami ji who has made me to stand on my feet and provided every help during my student period at Lucknow. I am truly thankful to all who participated in uploading this video.
Yes, wonderful and heart touching. Thanks for uploading it. These are BIG assets. Give my hearty "Pranaam" to Maharajji if you meet him. Thanks a lot everyone.
Please someone educate me. Who is the 'Guru Maharaj' that Swami Sridharanada ji refers to? Is it none other than Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa? Or someone else?
