Father Everywhere

P.V. KARUNAKARAN

 


Yogi Ramsuralkumar was very fond of children. Parents used to go to Bhagavan for get- -born babies named and blessed by him. He would take such babies in his lap and name them with the love and affection of a grandfather. Many are the babies thus named by Bhagavan. How blessed are they and their parents!.

One day some children from a school in Tiruvannamalai went to have the Darshan and blessings of Bhagavan Yogi Ramsuratkumar, at his Ashram. Most of them had carried food with them, as it was a kind of holy picnic for them. A little white after the children were seated, to the surprise of all, Bhagavan straight went to a particular girl and asked for her food. She readily opened her tiffin box and gave Bhagavan all her food. Bhagavan happily ate a part of it and blessed the fortunate girl. She was, in fact, a very poor girl. But she and her parents must have been very good, well-behaved and God-fearing people. Perhaps, that is why Bhagavan blessed them in that special way.

There was another child who used to visit Bhagavan now and then, with its parents. The class-teacher of the child was a Christian. One day, she asked the child, "Why are you absent so often? Where do you go?" The child replied that it was going to see Bhagavan Yogi Ramsuratkumar. The teacher wanted to know Who he was and what was so special about him. The child gave her some details. Thus, the teacher got interested in Bhagavan and wished to see Him.
One day she reached the place where Bhagavan was living. She was asked to sit down.

In the course of the conversation, Bhagavan made a mention of His Father. Then the teacher asked Him where his Father was. Bhagavan replied that He was everywhere. Being a Christian, the teacher argued that God, the Father could be only in Heaven. Then Bhagavan lighted a cigarette and started smoking. Soon a puff of smoke in the shape of Bhagavan was found floating in the air. Pointing to it, Bhagavan said, "See this beggar is there; and he is here also. In the same way God, my Father is in the HEAVEN, on the EARTH and EVERYWHERE'.

Thus the devotion of her student led the teacher, to this wonderful and unforgettable experience with Bhagavan. Blessed are all those Who have seen Him; blessed are those Who hear of Him.
