Sri K.Chakravarti.....Swami's Chosen Instruments Part No.1

[Guest guest]

God and respect for spiritual and moral values were but natural and spontaneous.

When he was inducted into the I.A.S in 1960, at the age of twenty-four after

the university education in Economics and Law, the main reason for his choosing

the state of Andhara Pardesh for service was that it was home to Lord

Venkateswara at Trinmala. When he was posted as the Collector of Anantapur

District in 1975, after fifteen years of service in the various capacities in

both the Central and State Governments, he was known his competence and

integrity. Prashanthi Nilayam at Puttaparthi was the first ashram ever

visited by chakravatri in his life; he had visited many temples, but had never

met any

religious or spiritual personality in any ashram or mutt till then. It was

more on the insistence of his wife, Smt. Sudha and the frequent promptings from

his colleague Major Vishwanth , the District Superintendent of Police at the

Anantapur that Chakravarti made up his mind to go to Prashanthi Nilayam. On

the way to the ashram from Anantapur, he told his wife that if he got the

opportunity to spend some with Baba, he would ask Him a question on the

eighteenth chapter of the Bhagavad-Gita, Baba's first words to Chakravarti in

the interview room that

afternoon were, "I may be new to you, but you are not new to Me, And Baba made

him and his wife feel truth of His statement with His spontaneous and natural

warmth in that one hour. The happiness and joy of being united with someone,

whom you knew and loved for ages, flooded their hearts in that diffing hour of

their life and that sense of fulfillment became an anchor of their life

thereafter. During the course of the interview, Chakrvarti and his wife were

surprised when Bhagavan took up on His own, eightieth chapter of the

Bhagavad-Geeta for discussion. When his wife feel at the feet of Baba. He asked

her, "What do you want? She said, I want to die as a sumangali." That sacred

wish of every

ideal Indian wife was granted to her by Bhagavan. That aspiration were utmost

in her mind, for both her mother and sister had lost their husbands quite

young. We will some time later continue further story of Sri Chakravatri
