ENCOUNTER WITH HIS GURU SWAMI SATCHITANAND: It was almost 1 month that Shrimaliji left babaji . His mind was not stable. He was restless from morning to night . unable to focus in saadhana also. Sense of detachment was growing. But still Shrimaliji did not loose complete affection on worldly life. One day , this stage went too extreme , so he invoked Babaji. Shrimaliji saw him like a vision on television. He was still , humble , and he affectionately replied , “ Why did you call me ?” Shrimaliji replied , “ Baba , my mind is not stable. Till now I am in darkness. I am unable to meditate either. I am neither interested to go back home. After leaving you , almost one month got wasted . I couldn’t find a Guru till now ! “ Baba replied , “ Tomorrow at the same place , you will find a sadhu , you follow him.you will get your Guru soon !” saying this , he disappeared . Shrimaliji’s meditation got disturbed . he got back to his consciousness. He got overwhelmed by the vision of Baba. That night Shrimaliji got good sleep . The next day , a sadhu came to Shrimaliji , “ Guruji ordered you to come ….start right now “ “who is Guruji “ Shrimaliji asked . The monk did not speak and walked ahead . He was walking silently . Inspite of Shrimaliji telling that he was tired , he dint stop , he did not look back. He kept moving forward. Shrimaliji dint say anything . He just kept walking. In the early morning 3:30 am , they reached some ashram . It was very peaceful and mesmerizing. The moment they reached the ashram , the monk disappeared. Shrimaliji took rest for half an hour under the tree. Shrimaliji dint find anyone over there. After relaxing for a while , he got up. That ashram was on the banks of some river. Shrimaliji bathed for a long time. After doing his Sandhyavandana , he sat for meditation. By the time he opened his eyes , sun was rising . Certain saints started moving here and there in ashram. Shrimaliji was sitting beneath the tree. Shrimaliji couldn’t find the person who brought him there. Almost at 9:30 am , shrimaliji got a call . they took him into a cottage which was little distance away from the ashram. Outside the cottage was a young sadhu. Shrimaliji told him , “ I don’t know who brought me here “ He kept Shrimaliji’s paraphernalia outside and took him inside . Shrimaliji witnessed a miracle inside. It felt as if thousands of moons were shining at one place. It was such it was such a pleasant scene. The person who was sitting at the mid of cottage was our revered Gurudev Paramahans Satchitanand Swami . For the first time Shrimaliji saw such a dazzling rays around the head of a Yogi . Earlier he evidenced that only in the images of Rama and Krishna . He was old and respectable. Shrimaliji got his darshan with great dazzling glow aound his head and extreme love in his eyes. Shrimaliji was unable to move his sight from him. Shriimaliji felt as if he ws drinking elixir after suffering from extreme thirst since long time. He signaled Shrimaliji to sit down. Now Shrimaliji started looking into the Ashram. It was very neat and very pure. On the left side of the ashram, Shrimaliji saw a man deep in Samadhi . Shrimaliji was getting absorbed at the holy feet of the master. Shrimaliji’s inner conscience was saying that , “ the person whom you are searching for is infront of you . He is the person for whom you have been wandering for many years . Only by his grace , all your worries will wane away , all doubts will disappear , all bad karmas of your past will vanish , and only by his grace I can attain the knowledge of para-brahman” Shrimaliji prostated at the feet of Satchitanand Swami . he then described about yoga siddhi and then he said so , “ you asked me about ananda Samadhi . it is extremely difficult to explain , but I will teach . listen . !” “ Manushananda means the happiness which a youngster , a king , a strong man ….. hundred times higher than this is Manushya-Gandharvananda hundred times powerful than this are consequently Gandharvananda , Devagandharvananda , Devananda , Bruhaspathirananda , Prajapathirananda , Brahmananda . The place between the two eye brows is ‘Shiva-sthan’ or abode of Shiva . At that stage you will attain Ananda Samadhi. But finally Shrimaliji had to leave Siddhashram and had to come into householders life on his Guru’s order . After Shrimaliji left Siddhashram , one of his family members was sick. One night , that person wanted to go to bathroom and fell down. At that time I felt somebody held Shrimaliji’s hand and made me to stand . Medicines appeared automatically in the hands of that person. He woke Shrimaliji and showed him the medicines. Shrimaliji came to know that it was none other than Gurudev Satchitanandji himself. Shrimaliji dint knew how to use them. When Shrimaliji sat in meditation. Satchitanand Swamiji appeared infront of him . “ Gurudeva ! I gave you trouble ! “ Shrimaliji said Satchitanand swami –“ trouble is inevitable for guru when disciple is sleeping “ He simled saying this and described how to use it .
