Fond memories of bliss – Part 33

One evening a few Bhagavatas visited Mathurapuri Ashram. On that particular day, Sri Sri Swamiji was not keeping well and was very tired and exhausted owing to the fever and hectic schedule.

Upon seeing the Bhagavatas, the whole picture changed in a split second. Sri Sri Swamiji performed a wonderful Divya Nama Kirtan with the Bhagavatas and danced in ecstasy. It was absolutely unbelievable considering the state in which Sri Sri Swamiji was a few hours ago. Soon after the bhajan, Sri Swamiji slumped back to rest as He felt very weak.

When asked as to why Sri Sri Swamiji performed bhajan especially when He was so unwell, Sri Swamiji replied smilingly ” Upon seeing the Bhagavatas, our Premika Varadan became very excited and was very eager to see Divyanama Kirtan. I did not want to disappoint Him and that is why I performed Kirtan!”
