Gupt Sadhak Shyamakhyapa Part 3 - The Call of the Guru

Those who haven't read part 1,2 kindly do so before proceeding..

As ParamaGuruji Shyamakhyapa gets into intense dhyana, he has this unique nature of walking while in dhyana and he used to walk everywhere , he would walk to Tarapeeth and be all the time in sadhana there , now Tarapeeth imagine how it would have been fifty sixty years back what kind of men would have walked the earth there with what kind of intense sadhana in their blood but none could satisfy the spiritual thirst within him he continued walking meditating on the Smashana and in the chittas present there surrounded by burning dead bodies for years and years he just walked and became a wandering monk.

When I heard these lines from Gurudev I can only imagine Bhairava walking everywhere with a Kapal in his hand until finally the Kapal falls at Kashi and he attains the state of Kalabhairava , here i see no difference between ParamaGurudev and Bhairava himself ....All one and the Same ☺

On one such day he met a boy who cured his cancer by eating mud from the Smashana as he was passing by he saw the boy lying lifeless frothing from his mouth probably his end had come immediately Paramagurudev picked him up bathed him and started performing intense tapasya and austerities on him and revived him back to life, the boy woke up looked at Paramagurudev Shyamakhyapa and said why did you bring me back to life ?

You have wasted your day's japa on me to which Paramagurudev Shyamakhyapa says what does one day's japa hold if I could save your life it doesn't mean anything to me....

Here we come to understand the grace and benevolence of Paramagurudev Shyamakhyapa his mercy was limitless like the vast ocean

Then the boy says ... You will not find a Guru because there is no one here who can satisfy your thirst, to which Paramagurudev says but why ? there are so many intense sadhakas, tapasvis around me talking to me guiding me ?

The Boy replies NO ... You must do the Sadhana of BamaKhyapa for Many years before you advance in Sadhana.. that is when he decides and gets into the sadhana of BamaKhyapa.

Thus begins the play of the Guru and Sishya to enlighten many for the many more yugas to come.

The Boy here who relays the message to ParamaGurudev makes me think who is he ? To become the messenger for a Siddhapurusha was it only just a boy or the divine's play to check the eligibility of the intense sadhaka ....we might never know...but.....What if ParamaGurdev hadn't saved the boy ...Will the message had been relayed to him ?....This Shows the Divine intervention in everyone's life at moments when our own integrity and purpose in spirituality is questioned ParamaGurdev beautufully shows the answer to us by holding only the Divine high and nothing else... When he says....what does one day's japa hold to save your life it shows he is divinely human where some only hold japa counts and austerities higher than the actual divine within each being manifested as life on earth , ParamaGurudev relies a lesson beautifully in a single line who he holds high ...not the japa..not the Sadhana alone but the Divine ...Japa and Sadhana are means to attain the Divine and not to get attached to them and lose the sole purpose.

How did ParamaGurudev attain Parameshta Gurudev BamaKhyapa as his Guru? What was the incidents that lead to him meeting his Guru? How did his life path continue and how did he advance in the Sadhana of Devi ?

All these questions in the reader's minds will be answered in Part 4 - The Rise of Smashana Bhairava.

Jai Maa 🌺🙏🏻
