RADHAJI'S LEELA IS SO BEAUTIFUL

20.10.2000, Brindavan Ashram.


Nanna narrated some incidents in his life which indicate that he did not tolerate injustice right from the early days of his career and always protested against it.


" I was teaching maths to the High school students. Some students came to me and complained that I gave them less marks though they wrote the exam well. When I checked up, I found that some sheets in their answer paper were missing. They understood that some mischief took place. They complained to the Headmaster. He did not listen to them. The students and I joined together. They brought a dead body and hung it at the door of the Head Master's house. I contacted Appalaswamy a criminal. He would kill anybody if he is paid for it. I told him my problem and explained that another maths teacher was playing the mischief with the Head Master's support. He offered to kill the maths teacher. I told him that was not necessary. He should move around the classrooms in our school and enquire about the maths teacher. He did as I instructed. They were terrified. They transferred the teacher to another school to save his life! The problem was solved. "


" Later I came to Guntur. I joined the school in which Sri Pemmaraju Narasimha Rao was the Principal. I went to Madras without informing him and wrote the competitive Exam for teacher's selection in government school. I got third rank in the exam and my name was published in the gazette. The Principal was angry with me. 'You will not agree if I send the application through you. My life will be spoilt. That is why I applied directly without informing you. You can do whatever you wish.' What can he do? At the most, he will remove me from the job. I was ready. I already got a Government job. They tried a lot to stop my selection. My friend, S.Vepa was an advocate, London returned. He wrote to the appointment authorities that the principal is troubling me, so they should ignore those formalities and select me. That is how I could join the Government job as a Maths teacher. "


" After working in many places, I was transferred to Queens Mary High School for girls in Visakhapatnam as they did not have a maths teacher. I was the only male teacher in that school among all the young girl students. I taught Maths excellently. They had a subject 'Home Science' wherein they taught to prepare sweets. One teacher had to taste the sweets. I was always the guest teacher! "


" During that time, I rented 'Turners chowltry' and celebrated Mother's function grandly. Such a celebration was not heard or seen in Visakhaptnam till then. I was the Chairman of the Celebration committee. But, I never gave donations to anybody. "


" Later, I moved to Kanigiri. I organised bhajans regularly. On Friday, people who play the drums came from different places and joined us. The training school students also joined the bhajans. As a result, their studies were affected. They did not attend the special classes in school. The school authorities represented to the DEO that the students studies were being affected by me as I was taking all of them to bhajans. The DEO wrote to me ' Do not disturb the children. Do not invite them for your bhajans.' I replied 'You are telling me not to invite them for your bhajans.' As they are coming on their own, you may punish them. Everybody knew that the students were aggressive and would beat the Head master for complaining against me. They discussed with the Director and finally transferred me to Darsi. I rode a camel and I started 'Happy club there.' "


During 1925-26, Nanna worked as a maths teacher in Vijayawada. Even at a young age of 25 years, a divine glow was shining in him. Probably that is why he could not tolerate the injustice alone to the students. When the Head master and Maths teacher did not pay heed to his words, he got into action. With the hired goon Appalaswamy's help, he got justice for the children.

In Guntur High School, the Head Master did not allow him to try for a Government job. He directly applied for the exam and got selected. He fought for his rights and got relieved from school.

In Queens Mary school, all the lady teachers saw the divinity in the young teacher. In Kanigiri training school, the so called aggressive students always accompanied nanna and attended the bhajans organised by him. Unable to do anything, the DEO and Director transferred him to Darsi. Nanna was a great Yogi by that time. He proved this by giving sight to Gopa Uncle's daughter. Till today, Amma tells about how he introduced a Post Master as a Yogi.


" In Venkatagiri, I met Polireddy. He was only 8 or 9 years old. He would attend bhajans regularly. He used to give me bath and press my feet. He was very wealthy. When he refused to marry, his mother came to me with tears. He told his mother that he would like to be a servant in our house throughout his life. I told her why they were forcing him against his will. They appealed to me that he was their only son. Finally, I only forced him and celebrated his wedding. "


As the above conversation continued, some Brinda Mahatmas came to see him. He spoke to them about how Mother asked him to come into Her service. He also told them that a book 'Rasayogi' was written in Telelgu by an M.A. PhD devotee. The book contains incidents which show how Radhaji's grace made his life so beautiful. Infact, 30 officers came all the way from Delhi to see the book which would be translated into Hindi also. Nanna spoke to them in Hindi about Radhaji.


" She is known as Hladini Sakthi. She is the manifestation of infinite hladini power. Krishna worships this hladini power. If you do dhyana for some days on this power, you will understand on your own. I need not tell you about Her powers. Her importance... "


Nanna then told about Kiran's incident. A sorcerer told Kiran that he had the power to grant Radhaji's darshan within five days. Then Kiran heard Nanna's voice telling him that is not his path and he must come to Brindavan.


" Radharani said, 'it is a wrong way. Leave that sorcerer and come to Brindavan.' They were all hearing this warning in my voice but I was here at Brindavan. That's happening thousand miles off. It is really wonderful. Who is that person? Who called in my voice? The voice is mine but I am not that person. Those words were uttered by somebody else. 'Leave that sorcerer. It is a drama. Go to Brindavan directly.' So if you drift from your path and move in other directions, Radhaji will give you a warning. So it is Radhaji who warned Kiran, not me. This is Radhaji's leela. "

Excerpt from Rasayogi:


"The voice you heard is mine but the representative person is not me. It is by Sri Radhaji Herself. With this experience it is clear that you are under the observation by the Divine and you are not supposed to be.... "


"Radhaji watches every devotee, whether he is moving in right way or wring way. If you are going in a wrong way, She won't allow you. Suppose you have a son and he takes to drinking, will you keep quiet? Parents won't keep quiet. They will take him away. Likewise, if you are going along a bad path, Divine Mother won't keep quiet. She will by force... "


" To follow the lower and ordinary procedure for bringing the grace of the supreme divine. That is why the divine voice of higher plane talked to you through my voice, taking it as a medium. "


The devotees listened attentively to Nanna's words about Radhaji's greatness and how Her grace and kindness flowed in his life. They were immensely happy. They bowed to the Mahatma and left.

Nanna continued to speak about Her divine power.


" I was writing the 3rd volume of Brindavaneswari Sri Radhadevi in peak summer, then the power went off. The benevolent and all-pervading Mother saw me sweating and suffering in the heat. She gave inspiration to a wealthy person. Well, Mother has no form! But see how the room got converted into A.C. Who spent the money? By whose inspiration did the room get converted to A.C. None other than Mother! Where is Mother? She is invisible. The invisible Mother gave money. The invisible Mother made this room to AC. The invisible Mother gives us all comforts. "


" 'Radhnothi sakalan Kaman ....'The Vedas said that Radha alone can do what nobody else can do. The Vedas are the evidence of Her powers.' "


" Lord Shiva's wife Parvathi wanted to attend the yagya performed by her father Daksha. She went to her husband and said ' My father is performing a yagya. Please permit me to attend. 'Sati, I cannot live even for a moment without you. That is why we both have only one body. I am 'Arthanareeswara' -half female (Parvathi) and half male (Shiva) for your sake. Your father treats me like an enemy. He is jealous of me because he does not possess the power which I do. Due to jealousy towards me, he will insult me in from of you. You cannot bear his words. You love me so much that if somebody insults me, you will burn yourself and die. I cannot ask you to go there. It is your wish.' "


" She went to attend the ceremony. As anticipated, Daksha insulted Shiva. She crated fire from her eyes and burnt herself. "


" Shiva vowed 'If my Sati, my wife does not come back to me, I will burn down all the 14 worlds. I too will burn in that fire and die. I cannot live without Parvathi.' Who can bring Parvathi back? Mother Earth ran to Lord Vishnu for help. 'I do not have the power to bring Parvathi. I do not know where she is after death.' They went to Lord Narayana. 'I also cannot do anything.' They all went to Lord Krishna. 'I do not have the power to bring her back, but I know where she is. I also know the mantra which can bring her back. Mahadeva, please chant this mantra (Radha mantra). Mother will come to you. She will give your wife back. I do not have the power to give you. Only Radhaji can give her back.' Radha gave Parvathi to Shiva. Nothing is impossible for Her. She can accomplish any and every job. That is why She is Radha! "


" Radha is the highest, higher than even Krishna. No wonder Krishna worships Her always. The Vedas say that he surrendered to Her. "


Nanna narrated an incident written in 'Rasayogi' to the Vrajavasis who came to see him. Saying how Radhaji stopped Kiran from talking mantra from a sorcerer by speaking in Nanna's voice and asking him to come to Brindavan, Nanna said 'this is Radhaji's leela.'

Radhai can make the impossible possible. The benevolent Mother is our means and end too. She is our final destination. The flow of Sri Radha Dhyana granted by Radhasakhi, our Nanna is the loving sadhana to reach Mother's holy feet.

'Mother, You are my highest goal. You are so benevolent. You are Krishna's form who plays the flute. You are my Master; You are my supreme.'
