Paranormal Encounters

The Malaysian devotees had the good fortune to host Srimati Uma didi, especially during the most auspicious occasion of the Appearance Day of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja and the Disappearance Day of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. 

Below are two short excerpts of the glories of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja by Srimati Uma didi. 


The Ghostly Wedding

"Once my Gurudeva wanted to visit his disciple in a nearby village. At that time there was no public transportation. So, Guru Maharaja used to walk everywhere. He walked for a very long time and soon it was really late at night. He was passing by a jungle and the time was almost ten at night.

Suddenly, he saw some bright lights. It was as though some wedding festival was going on. A person approached Guru Maharaj and asked Guru Maharaj to bless his daughter and son-in-law. Although, very late, and not thinking anything out of the ordinary, Guru Maharaj obliged. 

After the young couple got their blessings, Guru Maharaj went on his way to his disciple's house. Soon he reached his disciple's house and knocked on the door.

Upon opening the door, the disciple was shocked to see Guru Maharaj arriving at his home very, very late at night. 

"Gurudeva, you have come so late. What happened? inquired the disciple.

"O I went to bless a young couple on their wedding day. It was on the way and I thought, I might as well do it."

The disciple looked very puzzled. "But there's no houses anywhere near here, Gurudeva. No matter, we will look into this tomorrow."

The next day, Guru Maharaj and the disciple went to the spot where the wedding festival was held. The place was covered with trees. 

This shows that Guru Maharaj not only delivers humans but also other entities such as ghosts."

The Foot Bath Water of a Mahajana

"Once a brahmacari who was residing in Rupa Sanatana Math went to the Yamuna River to take his bath. As he was dipping himself, he felt someone was pushing him. It was as though a heavy weight was put on him. He kept coming up to the surface but to his surprise, there was no one around. 
Each time he dipped, he felt something heavy was on him. 

Feeling a little afraid, he came out of the water and started off towards the math. He felt someone was following him. 

That night, he saw a female ghost in his room. The ghost said that she had committed suicide because the man who was supposed to marry her did not keep his promise. After seeing the brahmacari, the ghost said she had fallen in love with him. 

The ghost also warned the brahmacari not to tell anyone of this incident as it will kill him. Fearing for his life, the brahmacari did as he was told.

Soon , the brahmacari grew thinner and thinner and looked very pale. 

It so happened, the brahmacari's room was adjacent to another building and his sister was staying there. She heard her brother talking to someone every night. Feeling suspicious, she decided to confront her brother. 

"Who are you talking to every night. I hear voices coming from your room. Tell me honestly!" demanded the sister. 

"There is a female ghost. If anyone knows about this, it will kill me," the brahmacari said. 

Soon, the sister told everyone in order to save her brother. Many tried to reason with the ghost to leave the brahmacari alone. 

The female ghost said that it will go if she can get the foot bath of a mahajana. Not any mahajana but the foot bath of my Guru Maharaja.

My Guru Maharaja's foot bath water was quickly brought to the brahmacari's room. Soon enough, the ghost left the brahmacari. 

The shows how very powerful, Guru Maharaja was. We should not think my Guru Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaj are any different. 
 


Once Sripad Bhaktivedanta Madhava Maharaj told our Guru Maharaj that he wanted to serve him. 

Our Guru Maharaj said, "Don't think I am any different from Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaj. You should serve him.""

Life & Times of Sripad Bhakti Prakash Hrishikesh Maharaja in Malaysia

When I heard about the passing away of Sripad Bhakti Prakash Hrishikesh Maharaja, I was a little numb at first. My feelings were not completely settled to his passing. But after looking at his pictures, it finally dawned upon me that His Holiness was no more in this planet. Maharaja reminded me of someone so dynamic in serving Sri Hari, Guru & Vaishnavas. Nothing was impossible for him. Maharaja used to go heads on without thinking of any consequences. He did not believe much in meetings and talking about how to do a seva because he was an action man. He always said to me, “Let’s just do it. Krsna will take care of everything!!!” Maharaja was the first person to assist me in printing the book “Shower of Love.” When Srila Gurudeva ordered me to always write, I was totally lost as what to do. With whatever little knowledge I had, the compilation of lectures took place. But it was Maharaja who showed me the ropes of how to put in the footnotes, headings, sub-headings, titles etc. I re...

Telling Children Stories (Harikatha)

The other day I told my 9 year old student about the story of the "Talking Pot." Sometimes I try to inject in a very "tricky" manner about our Krsna conscious philosophy after a lesson. I usually start by asking my students whether they would love to hear a story or not. They would always say "Y - E - S!!!" in a cheerful manner. These children have no idea who Krsna is. Besides they are not devotees' children either. So story telling is the best way to get the message across. OK coming back to the "Talking Pot." It's a story about how a disciple felt he could do better if he left his Guru's ashram. His service was to fetch water from the Yamuna daily. The disciple thought he would be better off if he found a job and got married. But the pot talked him out of it and he ran back to his Guru.

Inquire Submissively From A Bona-fide Guru

Nowadays there's so many bogus gurus. These self-professed 'saints' are only interested in making followers and collecting money. But a true sad-guru is indeed very rare. He honours all, be it a dog or an ant. Such a bona-fide guru is never afraid to carry out the instructions of his gurudeva and the entire guru-parampara as it is. Bogus gurus may try to stop their charge from hearing harikatha from a bona-fide personality, but a true bona-fide guru is never shaken and will rise high despite the so-called tidal wave or obstacles thrown in front of him. For he is truly a saint and has fully controlled Krsna with divine love. He is an uttama-bhagavata, a topmost devotee of the Lord. tad viddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya upadeksyanti te jnanam jnanimas tattva-darsinah (Bhagavad-gita, 4.34) "Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-r...
