​The Story of Guru Ragavendra

Picture
It’s all the nature creation disasters giving a little warning to you, to us, to every soul. It’s another side of nature, Her beauty. One side is so beauty, another side what type of beauty it is, to see it in front of your eyes. It means one day you might also be in that position. Especially to the spiritual sadhana people, that’s a beautiful message to be prepared. The Big Boss Jesus, he prepared to the Mother – crucifixion - no problem. Guru Ragavendra, he prepared, not torturing the body, just he wanted to release his soul out. But still his body, some of the energy still is up and down - the beard is growing, the hairs are growing. The energy system is there. Guru Ragavendra is unbelievable strong character, almost four hundred years back. He was grown with Madhvacharaya as a beautiful saint - he studied with him. Then his guru sent him to go and get married. He got married. All the Brahmins, they forced only he can teach certain caste people – only Brahmins, not any other religious people. On the day this was very serious and strict.

Then, he hates that. He had a beautiful son. There’s no food in the house. Only he taught one student who was a kind of street boy, and that boy brought some food to feed him. Then finally he’s ready to sell his vina (instrument like guitar). Then he’s under unbelievable pain. He has pretty good abilities, lot of knowledge, why he’s karmically facing that?


Then his master in Mam-Madhurpita, his gurusthan, he is getting very old. Then he called to Ragavendra from there, “Come on.” He woke up. Simply straight walked to Mantralayam. His master is looking at him, “I’m waiting for you.” Then he took the sannyasin. He left both his wife and son and took the sannyasin. And his wife and son came and are crying. He didn’t listen to it. “I’m searching for satya. I’m sorry.” Then his wife handed her son to somebody, and she went and jumped in the well and died. She came back as a negative spirit and stood outside wherever he’s doing meditation, looking at him and crying, “You cheated me. You deceived me. You’re not fair. Who told you to leave me?” After some long time later, he gave the relief to her spirit to go back to the next reincarnation.


Then he’s facing all the hurtles, then he’s little curious. Three astrologists came to Mantralayam. He gave his horoscope and asked them, “Try to check my astrology.” One person came, “You have seventy years lifespan.” He said, “Good.” Another person came, “You have three hundred and fifty years lifespan.” He said, “Ok good.” Next person came, “You have nine hundred years lifespan.” “They’re totally confused,” all three astrologers said and again they calculated it. “All three are right. What should we tell him then?” They went to him and told him, “It came like this.” He said, “All three are right.” Everybody is wondering how it’s possible all three are right.


One fine evening just he declared, “Ok, dig a hole. I’m going to sit in the Jiva Samadhi.” It was exactly on his seventieth birthday - he left his body. Before he left he said, “For three hundred and fifty hundred years I’ll be super intensely meditating. After that I’m ready to help the globe for nine hundred years.” Then again he’ll start reincarnating.


The point of the theory, it’s only possible who doesn’t have the attachment to the body. Who has the attachment to the body you’re really under the illusion. The illusions will play the maximum whatever it can. The body desires, the body attachments, the body stuff – who doesn’t care about the physical beauty, only they always care about the inner beauty, then eighty percent they escape from the illusions. Then even the crucifixion it’s no problem. She (Mother Divine) mentioned, “You’re going to face lot of consequences.” He (Jesus) said, “No problem.”


Even Guru Ragavendra, in Mantralayam, next to the main temple there’s a small Mother Divine temple. Before going inside the main temple we have to go through that. And She played a little illusion on him. One early morning he’s going to take a shower in the river. The river and his temple Samadhi, is like from here (Baba Temple) to the (Southeast) gate – very close. There’s an amazing forest there. A lady is shouting, “Help, help, help!” Her name is the Mother Divine, Manchalama. She came to test his energy. There’s a big fire and he’s seeing a lady very clearly. Then he really begged the rain to come and just to make the fire stop. He used all his energy to make the fire to shut-up. Then he pulled her out. She’s simply smiling, not even saying thanks. Just saying, “Bye,” and she left.


He got aggressive, “Who are you? Why you entered this? I lost all my energy.” A big dialogue happened. Then she smiled and she stood, “It’s Me.” It’s the first time he got darshan of the Mother. He said, “Me help you Mother? And you sucked all my energy to help you. I didn’t think this much energy was necessary, to unnecessarily help you. I’m such a stupid. Just I poured all my energies and everything. Now I’m empty. Anyhow I’m happy I helped you.” Again She’s smiling, “Who are you to help me? Take back all your stuff.” and She said, “Since almost a one thousand years I’m staying here in this small forest temple. If you’re settling here, nobody will offer me any coconuts.” On the day, he promised, “You take the coconuts, camphor, dhoop, everything. Only the devotees will bring to me the small sugar cubes. That’s enough to me.” They made a deal on the day. “Ok.” Even whoever goes now to the temple, the coconuts and everything goes to the Mother. To him you only take the sugar.


The point is, to win Maha Maya, to win the creation, what the creation created in you through what form, the beauty of your body, the beauty of your body energy, the glow of your body energy - the desires of the body. This stuff you have to completely ignore it as much as you can. Then you’re a strong powerful character in the nature, unless you’re having the sentimental, all the kind of attachments, all this...
