Old age and constant travelling were taking a toll on Shastriji Maharaj’s health, and he had fallen ill. Devotees insisted he rest in Sarangpur. Vaidyas (ayurvedic doctors) started treating him with medications and traditional therapies, but still the fever did not come down. The pain and suffering remained. flooded. The ground had become soggy and muddy. The distance to Sarangpur was eight kilometres. Pramukh Swami was still determined. He encouraged the accompanying sadhu and started walking, carrying both their jolis. Their feet slipped in the swampy, thorny, muddy and rain-soaked ground! The road to Sarangpur, which normally took a couple of hours, turned into many hours of daring trials against nature!
Making their way through the dark night, they finally reached Sarangpur mandir. Pramukh Swami went straight to his guru and perfomed several dandvats. Shastriji Maharaj was overwhelmed with joy. While embracing the cold, wet, and exhausted Narayanswarupdasji, he said, “Only Naranda would do such a thing to please me!” To this day, Pramukh Swami recalls how his guru joyously smiled, when he read the Bhaktachintamani. |
