Our Swami is Lord Krishna of tha Day
When Swami was 18 years old, He went on a pilgrimage with His mother and aunt. In Brindavan, Swami climbed a tree, sat on its branches, and played the flute with joy. He did not come down even for a long time. In a hurry to go to the temple, both the mother and the aunt asked Swami to come down and join them. Swami said to them with a smile, “Can those who cannot directly see Me see My idol?” Thinking, “Why argue with Him?” both of them went to the temple. They rushed to the temple, thinking that the temple would open at 4 pm, but it was in vain. The temple doors did not open that day. They waited until 6 pm, got bored and returned to Brindavan. But Swami was still immersed in playing the flute. It was already 7 pm. Swami came down and said, “Come, the temple doors have been opened.” He took them to the temple. At the same time, the priest came and was opening the temple doors. Both of them asked the priest the reason for the delay that day. The priest said that he had gone to a neighbouring village and arranged another person to open at 4 pm, but he too suddenly left for some urgent work and so it happened like that! Through this incident, the concept that Swami says today, ‘that the human incarnation is more complete than the idols,’ was proved back then!
