The Satsang

[Guest guest]

Dear Brindavanshakti and all that were curious about the satsang on

Saturday (May 23),

 

Here is a snippet from the satsang. Twas great, twas merry and a

wonderful time was had by all !

 

Swami Ram Kripaluji gave a little talk about Ramakrishna and his

intoxication with the divine. It seems Ramakrishna referred to Divine

Mother as " Pagali " which roughly translates to " mad woman " and Lord

Shiva as a mad man. Ramakrishna said with yearning (paraphrasing his

and Swami Ram Kripaluji's words) " Oh Shiva, you are a mad man and you oh

mother are a mad woman ! What hope does a " normal " man have to

understand you ? Only a mad person can even hope to understand your

madness. Therefore, please make me mad "

 

And endearingly, Swami Ram Kripaluji looked towards beloved Shree Maa

and Swamiji and said " Please bless me " !

 

Our Swamiji, without skipping a beat said " Pagal Ho " meaning " May you

become mad (with love for the divine) "

 

Jai Swamiji
