The Story Of Mira's Love

[Originally Written By Swami Budhananda All Rights Reserved Adhyaksha, Advaita Ashrama First Edition by Ramakrishna Mission] Mirabai was one of those totally unself-conscious teachers of supreme love of God, whose manner of loving God became the manner of her teachings. Mirabai was a sixteenth century saint born in Rajasthan, India. Her approach to God as Sri Krishna, was that of absolute love. For expressing her most powerful love of God she composed many moving songs, which became one of the tenderly cherished spiritual heritage of India. The Story of Mira's Love moves everyone who has love of God in heart. Even those who may not like to think of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of God at all, could be struck by the inspiring quality of Mira's most dynamic pursuit of God the Beloved. For writing this small monograph, in good part, the author(Swami Budhananda) depended on Swami Vamadevananda's Mirabai published by 'Udbodhan' Kolkata. The theme of the seed-paper was given as a Sunday sermon at the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Centre, New York, with the caption, 'Mira: The God-intoxicated Queen' in April 1960. Later on, the same was the subject of a Sunday talk early in 1965 at the Vedanta Society, Hollywood, given under the caption, 'The Story of Mira's Love.' 'The Story of Mira's Love' was first published in the July-August 1965 issue of the Vedanta and the West, a bi-monthly, which used to be published by the Vedanta Society of Southern California. This is now being made available for wider circulation in the form of this small book, enlivened by the sketches of Sri Biswaranjan Chakraborty. Artist Biswaranjan has, by grace, succeeded in good part in capturing with the delicacy of his brush the thores and the abandon of Mira's divine love. It is hoped that the story of Mira's total love for God will energize and inspire lovers of God everywhere in the world. 16 March 1983 Sri Ramakrishna's Birthday New Delhi Swami Budhananda: The original Author of this book 'The Story of Mira's Love.

But there is one of the famous Temple in India which is very famous for its ghostly stories and one of it is Dattatreya Mandir, Gangapur located in the Afzalpur taluk of Kalaburagi district in Karnataka. INTRODUCTION: Shree Kshetra Dattatreya temple is dedicated to God Dattatreya who is an Incarnation of the Divine Trinity of lord Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva.Bramha is the creator who creates things, Vishnu is the operator he is the one who operates the universe and Shiva is the destroyer who destroys harmful & old things. The temple is dedicated to Sri Narasimha Saraswathi swami who is considered as a 2nd reincarnation of Lord Dattatreya himself and lived around 550 years ago.Temple is simple,messy and not well maintained though.But throngs many devotees to visit this shrine.Around the vicinity of the temple there is confluence of two rivers Bhima and Amaraja which are considered extremely holy and whoever takes bath in this Sangam, will be free from their sins and their wishes will be fulfilled.Shreeguruswamiji had said to the disciples and citizens of Ganagapur as follows. “ Vasathi rani sangamase jate nithya bikshese taya vare Gangapurase madyana kala pareyasa” “ You need not worry. I shall stay at this Ganagapur kshetra secretly and will receive poojas at this Kshetra in the form of Padukas”. festivals that are celebrated with great ravelry here. Datta Jayanti (birth anniversary of Shri Dattatreya), Guru Purnima (The special day in the Hindu calendar dedicated to all teachers and gurus), and Shravan Maas (the holy month of Shravan) attracts large crowds of devotees, who come from every corner of the country and place their heads on these sacred grounds in the hopes of being blessed with lasting happiness and wisdom. People suffering from Chronic diseases,Mentally retarded, Psychological problems,People overpowered with evil spirits come to this place to get remedy through pooja and hawans performed by priests in the temple.The trouble of bad or evil spirits and ghosts vanishes and one can get peace of mind with the darshan of Swamy Padukas at this Kshetra. Many people get thier wishes fullfilled, solve their problems and dreams from God's grace soon after visiting Ganagapur and after taking just "Nirgun Paduka" Darshan of God.One can feel the positive energy in Ganagapur if they come up with positive attitude and belief towards God and the temple.Its still a hard fact to trust and wonder if black magic,evil spirits really could exist but truly this place is spooky and very powerful with supernatural powers existing which have no answers till date by anyone.The unnerving experience of the temple will forever remain hidden in the devotees own hearts.
