THE
EMERGENCE OF TEMPLE
The
holy Brindavan till recently was housed in a shed like structure
with zinc sheet for ceiling, and the place too was quite
unimpressive, commanding few amenities. It was made into a beautiful
mandir with all paraphernalia by a beneficiary of Swamiji's grace.
It runs- One Mallappa Scindhe, a wealthy merchant living in Raichur
was suffering from stomach pain. Tried however much, it became
incurable. Foreign returned doctors and eminent physicians expressed
their inability at curing it. When all kinds of tests and medicines
failed, he gave up hope of living longer- he was counting days. Then
entered into his life a close friend, and a great devotee of Sri
Raghavendra Swami, who advised him to take refuge at the holy feet
of Swamiji. And gave him a photo of Swamiji for worship. The
hope-lost Scindhe implemented the advice tendered. Belief gives
relief and emancipates. Appearing in dream, Swamiji advised his
worshipper to go to Bombay for operation forthwith. When went, the
very same doctors who sent him home saying it incurable sometime
back agreed. In the operation theatre to the surprise of the Chief
Surgeon, one stranger entered in saffron robes timely and
successfully completed it. Scindhe was saved. That is Swamiji's
infinite compassion! To the overjoyed Scindhe, Swamiji appeared
again in dream and asked him to build the scantum afresh removing
the zinc sheets. The grateful Scindhe spending lacks renovated,
rather built a modest temple afresh. Likewise, many miracles are
being occurred, and are reported with unusual devotional fervour.
Swamiji secured a grand temple for the benefit of worshippers.
