Come With Me to Have his Darshan

Lokanath Swami Maharaj Hyderabad Pastimes

With the desire to meet the sadhu, Parshuram returned to Hyderabad to attend the Ratha Yatra festival there. The kirtan of the festival was crowded with so many people chanting and dancing intensely for 4 hours to reach the destination! The hush of the crowd fogged the vision to see the person who was leading the kirtan. Parshuram curiously was standing to see who was the kirtaniya leading.

 Prem Dhvani prayers began and everyone bowed down to offer obeisances and the kirtaniya left the place. Parshuram couldn't see who the kirtaniya was, suddenly a hand grabbed him removing him from the crowd, the devotee said " Come with me to have darshan of HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj"

 The feeling of meeting the sadhu he heard about suffused Parshuram's heart and he forgot about the Kirtaniya. 

 “Gurumaharaj, this is Parshuram Sahu Prabhu, he is a very nice devotee, the other devotee said introducing Parshuram

"Are you Marathi?" Gurumaharaj said glancing at Parshuram

"Yes"

"Where's your native place?"

"Bhelagoan"

 Realizing that Maharaj's voice was similar to the Kirtaniya Prabhuji said "I was extremely curious to see the Kirtaniya and to have your darshan as well, not knowing that you were the one whose Kirtan I was hearing" 

Hearing this Gurumaharaj bursted into laughter and the whole atmosphere became joyous.

Shrirang Chavan was a relative of  Gurumaharaj from Mumbai who came to inspire him and convinced him to rejoin and complete his studies.

Gurumaharaj’s elder brother informed everyone to take care of him and ensure that he doesn't go anywhere out of Mumbai.  Being there Gurumaharaj started reading The times of India every day for hours to improve his English. It was after the marriage of S. Chavan that he along with his wife shifted to the room next to Gurumaharaj. During those days it was difficult to get water in the Dadar area, Knowing that Guru Maharaj would stay awake studying the whole night his sister-in-law would ask him to wake her up when water comes at night so that she can fill the water for using it later in the day. Sometimes it would so happen that Gurumaharaj would go to continue his reading by keeping the bucket to fill b...

When Gurumaharaj took sannyas he wrote a letter to his family that now I have took sannyasa and I want one more person from our family to join me, so HG Sita Mataji, Gurumaharaj’s sister took her son, who was 5-6 years old to Juhu temple.  Gurumaharaj to pick her up went to Vile Parle which is far from the temple so Gurumaharaj took the boy on his back from Vile Parle to Juhu temple on foot only to not waste Srila Prabhupāda’s money.
