(Shri Goraknath Dixit, Purvashram son-in-law of Yogi Ramsuratkumar talked in 2018 about his first meeting with Bhagawan. The speech is extracted and given below.)
I did not know that I would be entering into a divine family when I got married. At that time I was an ardent rationalist. I had absolutely no faith in God, the greatness of nama, fate or faith. But I was entering into fate. My mother initially did not like this alliance at all. The girl has no father! He had disappeared and there was absolutely no news about him. Everyone had given up searching for him as impossible. But Mataji (Beena's mother) was fully confident that he was surely somewhere and would be definitely found. As soon as the wedding was over we first talked about only Yogi Ramsuratkumar. At that time we did not know about Yogi Ramsuratkumar; my father-in-law was known only as Ramsurat Kunwar. I asked my wife "what do you want in life?" She said "I want to see my father." I said "You will see your father; but you have to wait for a long time." In our area, there was a man who could predict the whereabouts of lost persons; we did not know whether he was speaking only the truth. We did not approach him because he might say something confusing which could upset my mother-in-1aw. After eight years (This narrative has already
been published in Saranagatham), I was standing near a book shop,
my eye fell on a weekly (then very popular) called Sunday (It
was my habit to collect and read books and magazines). This shop
was gathering old issues and selling at a lower price. I bargained
for the issue of "Sunday", purchased and started reading
it. There was a description of We (Ma Ram Ranjani Devi, wife Bina son Manish,
my wife's elder sister Yasodhara and her husband and I) carne
to Sannadhi Street in 1982. We could not talk, only our tears
talked. I was not affected as much as His wife and daughters
who were literally bathed in tears. Bhagawan asked me Bina and Yasdhora looked at each other, pinched each other to assure themselves that all that they were seeing was true. Bina asked, "Bapuji, why did you leave us? I did not even know what my father is like." Yogiji said, "Now you are seeing your father." Bina said, "Why did you leave us?" Yogiji said "I did not leave you. See what a huge family I have now." It was Sri Ramakant Rai, the brother of Mataji Ramranjani Devi, who arranged our marriage as also the marriages of the two elder sisters and the brother of Bina. He and his elder brother had done the arrangements. What a father would normally undertake, was done by these uncles. However well done, a father's place can never be substituted. When they met their father, it was like a rebirth to them. This touchingly tender moment is lodged evergreen in my heart. This also marked the moment when after starting
as an agnostic and a rationalist I started my journey on the
spiritual path with full faith in Yogi Ramsuratkumar. (in Saranagatam, July 2021) |
(Shri Goraknath Dixit, gendre de Yogi Ramsuratkumar dans sa vie de purvashram, a parlé en 2018 de sa première rencontre avec Bhagavan. L'extrait du discours est donné ci-dessous.)
Je ne savais pas que j'allais entrer dans
une famille divine quand je me suis marié. J'étais
alors un ardent rationaliste. Je n'avais absolument aucune foi
en Dieu, en la grandeur du nama, dans le destin ou dans la foi.
Mais j'entrais dans le destin. Ma mère n'aimait pas du
tout cette alliance au début. La fille n'avait pas de
père ! Il avait disparu et on n'avait absolument aucune
nouvelle de lui. Tout le monde avait renoncé à
le chercher comme si c'était impossible. Dès que le mariage fut terminé,
nous ne parlâmes d'abord que de Yogi Ramsuratkumar. A cette
époque, nous ne connaissions pas Yogi Ramsuratkumar ;
mon beau-père n'était connu que sous le nom de
Ramsurat Kunwar. J'ai demandé à ma femme "qu'est-ce
que tu veux dans la vie ?" Elle a dit "Je veux voir
mon père." J'ai dit "Tu verras ton père,
mais tu devras attendre longtemps." Après huit ans (ce récit a déjà été publié dans Saranagatam), je me tenais près d'une librairie quand mon il est tombé sur un hebdomadaire (alors très populaire) appelé Sunday (C'était mon habitude de collectionner et de lire des livres et des magazines). Cette boutique rassemblait de vieux numéros et les vendait à un prix inférieur. J'ai négocié le numéro de "Sunday", l'ai acheté et j'ai commencé à le lire. Il y avait une description de Bhagavan publiée sous le titre " Le Swami fumeur ". J'étais excité. Le reste de la famille a également lu l'article avec enthousiasme. Le beau-frère Amitabh Kunwar est allé à Tiruvannamalai et a découvert que le " Swami fumeur " était son père. Tout cela a déjà été publié. Nous (Ma Ram Ranjani Devi, mon épouse
Bina, mon fils Manish, Yasodhara la sur aînée
de ma femme et son mari et moi) sommes allés à
Sannadhi Street en 1982. Nous n'avons pas pu parler, seules nos
larmes parlaient. Je n'ai pas été touché
autant que sa femme et ses filles qui étaient littéralement
baignées de larmes. Bhagavan m'a demandé : J'étais le plus jeune. Comment pourrais-je faire cela ? Bina et Yasdhora se sont regardées, se sont pincées pour s'assurer que tout ce qu'elles voyaient était vrai. Bina a demandé : Cela a également marqué le moment où, après avoir débuté comme un agnostique et un rationaliste, j'ai commencé mon voyage sur le chemin spirituel avec une foi totale en Yogi Ramsuratkumar.
