Sadguru is not a monk, to explain this gesture, Guru Maharaj ji had incarnated two stories. In the last part we learned about the first story. Today we will learn about another story. After finishing the first story, Guru Maharaj ji had incarnated the Dwapar Yuga and a story told by Thakur Shri Ramkrishna Dev. They had said —
One day Radharani was going to Mathura’s Haat with her friends by decorating some (materials) – for the purpose of selling them. At that time, the Yamuna river was between Mathura and Vrindavan (currently Mathura Vrindavana is located on the same bank of Yamuna).
Whatever it is, on that day when the Gopis of Vrindavan reached Jamuna shore, Yamuna is full of water, but there is no boat on the ghat. So how will it all pass! Everyone was very worried, then they saw Vyas Dev (Mahamuni Vyasdev) leaving there. As soon as she saw her, Radharani ran to her and said – “Oh Mahamuni! I know, you are Mahayogi, adorned with all yoga! All that Yogabibhuti is in your control! By that Yoga Vibhuti you arrange for us to cross this river! Otherwise we so many helpless women will be in great trouble! You have to make arrangements to get us across any way. “
Vyasdev is in big trouble! They knew what “Woman Hut” was! When so many women are stubborn, they will not leave without proving their work! It is not the duty of Yogi to use Yogi here! What to do! How can God’s beloved Sadhika Sakhi Radharani stay without doing something to fulfill his wish!
At last, he remembered Radharman and said to the Gopis- “Whatever the food items you have in your spread – give me some of that food too. I am so hungry ! Next quench hunger – then I’ll fulfill your prayer. “
All the Gopis became happy and gave them little bit of butter, chhena etc. He filled a call of satisfaction after eating everything, and folded hands towards Yamuna and said – “O Yamuna! I pray to you Vyas Dev – if I have not eaten anything, you divide into two parts and make a way so that we can all cross it. “
Right now
Yamuna’s water changed from both sides and became paved and Radharani reached the other side safely along with friends. Vyas Dev also went along. On reaching that other side Radharani said to Vyas Dev – “You are a very strange (terrible) person sir! In front of all of us you eat butter, snatch, eat — wash your hands and mouth in Yamuna water and say to Yamuna ‘If I have not eaten anything••••! What does this mean gentleman? “
Vyas Dev replied laughing – “I said the truth! When you all together handed me the responsibility of hard work like to cross Yamuna – what else can I do then! As soon as I was in danger, the crisis started remembering Tratak Madhusudhan and he likes to eat butter, sugar with your hands, so I tried to please them by requesting them. “Gopia screamed with all happiness – ” but you have eaten all that yourself! Where did you give your life to dear Shakha!! “
Vyas Dev replied in a peaceful voice- “He (Lord Shri Krishna) is always present in the inner nature of difference – What is the need of request from outside? “
