‘Ãchãrya Nishta’ (One-pointed devotion to the Guru) <Prev |  Next>

Girish Chandra Gosh, the famous household disciple of Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa, boldly proclaimed to the world that his Master was an incarnation. Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa was also fully aware of Girish’s conviction.

One day, while Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa was taking a walk in the garden with his devotees at his heels, he said to Girish, “Girish! What do you see in me that you tell everyone that I am an incarnation?” Girish at once fell on his knees before his Master and with a voice choked with emotion said, “What can I say about the One whose glories even great sages like Vyasa and Valmiki couldn’t describe enough!” Moved by the words of this great disciple, Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa said, “What more can I tell? Be illumined!” Saying so Sri RamaKrishna Paramahamsa touched all the devotees present there and blessed them with Spiritual awakening.

Thus, Girish displayed deep faith and love that moved his Guru to bless not just him but all the devotees. This day, January 1(1886), is lovingly remembered as the ‘Kalpataru Day’ when the love of a disciple made his Guru a ‘Wish-fulfilling tree’!
