He wasinquiring the people there and one boy toldVivekananda that nearby there is an ashram run by aBabaji who offers food for the wandering monks. Swamiwent to the ashram and had his food and after that metthe Babaji & introduced himself and also about hisGuru Ramkrishna paramahamsar.During the interaction Babaji enquired him whether heknew Bhav hari Baba from Ghazipur - near to Kasi andVivekananda replied him, " yes, I know and I have alsomet him once , Babaji continued saying that Bava Haribaba is a great Mahatma and even your Guru Paramahamsahas talked about him"Babaji narrated an incident to Swami about thegreatness of Bhav Hari Baba:Bhav hari Baba used to live only in the caves and alsofeed peoples whoever comes to him when hungry. On onesuch occasion a thief entered his cave and started tosteal certain items and packed whatever were availablethere when Baba was meditating. When Baba opened hiseyes after Meditation he saw the thief stealing andrealizing this, the thief started to run. Babaimmediately started chasing him with food in his handand finally caught him.Bava hari baba asked the thief, :" why you are afraid?All items lying in that place belongs to you andwhatever you want, you can.... Moreover, whoever comesto my ashram, I used to see them as Narayana and offerfood to them. So please have this food & bless me"moreover Baba hugged him with love after the food wastaken by the thief.Listening to this from Baba, Swami Vivekananda said,"Yes, I have heard of this, such is the greatness ofthat guru"After narrating all these, Baba with a smile toldVivekananda “I WAS THAT THEIF"Morale: If a Guru touches a person (sparsha), thenthat person undoubtedly becomes a holy person(irrespective of his past deeds).P.N: Similarly in this forum I would like to share myTrue and honest experience about the greatness of myGuru which has transformed me till date not by histouch but only by his look.We have seen lot’s of mail from our Guru how the GreatSaint Thyagaraja expounded the name RA & MA, (Rama)Today I have put it in a different way to show withoutmy Guru this Life would have been a mere waste,Our Life’s 5 years back was full of ---Adhar MA Surprisingly GOD guides us to our----Guru MAAnd there on our GURU….Initiated us to chant the powerful name of-SriRa MAMade us understand the Life’s ---- Trau MAGuiding us in the each scene’s of Life’s -Dra MA One and only to rescue us from our --Kar MAShouldering us & guiding on the Divine Journey to place -- Brah MAAnd finally the meaning of LIFE understood by meBefore & Now Live In Fear/Feeling Ever MALive In Fun/Finally Enlighten MALet’s all chant and pray to invoke the grace of thelord to guide us to the Sath Guru.Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
