Madhava In Madhava

Hari Om,

Once during his stay at Jyoti Vihar, the Sambalpur University Campus, Swami Chidanandaji wanted a barber to shave his head. When the barber came, Swamiji politely asked him his name. The barber said that his name was Madhava. Then, to the utter astonishment of the barber, Swamiji prostrated himself at the feet of Madhava who had to serve him as barber. Before he could receive the service of the barber he first of all offered his grateful prayers to the man. When the shaving was over, Swamiji offered him plenty of fruits as Bhog and some coins in the form of Dakshina. Thus by personal example he imparts the lesson that the seeker should behold Madhava in each Manava and rise from humanity to divinity. 


Om Namoh Bhagavathe Sivanandaya !

Om Namoh Bhagavathe Chidanandaya !
