On hearing Baba’s call, Kaka became scared. ‘Why has Baba become so angry? Will the kirtan take place without any difficulty? 78. He walked ahead casting backward glances. He climbed up the steps with fear. His steps were very timid. Kaka was extremely worried. 79. Baba asked him a question as to why the cradle was tied here and having learnt in brief the story, the reason behind it and the whole scheme, he was happy. 80. Then, from the niche16 he took a beautiful garland and put it round Kaka’s neck and gave another for Bhishma. 81. Having heard the question about the cradle, there was anxiety all around. But when the garlands were put round the necks, everyone was at ease. 82. Bhishma was a versatile man, well-versed in narrating “kathas”. The kirtan was very enjoyable and all the listeners were very pleased. 83. Baba too was very pleased. According to his consent, the festival had taken place, along with bhajan, kirtan etc. 84. At the time of the birth of Ram, the red ‘gulal’ powder17, that was thrown about, went into Baba’s eyes and Baba became enraged. He looked terrible like Narahari18, at the hour when Rama was born in the palace of Kaushalya. 85. The ‘gulal’ was just an excuse. The action implied the fervour at the birth of Ram, who would destroy the ego, in the form of Ravan, and wickedness in the form of Rakshas. 86. Suddenly he was annoyed. He became, as it were, Narasimha19. Then started abuses and curses, which were showered upon all. 87. Radhakrishnabai20 was quite concerned, as she thought that the cradle would be broken into pieces. How can it be kept in tact? That was the difficulty she faced. 88. “Please untie, quickly untie” she was insistent. Kaka moved forward to untie the cradle. 89. Then Baba got very angry and rushed forward towards Kaka. The untying of the cradle was forgotten and Baba regained his composure. 90. When, in the afternoon, Baba’s permission was sought, his answer surprised everyone. “Why should you untie the cradle in such a hurry? It is still needed”.http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
