KRN Ji,
Thanks for sharing this link
We were brought up with stories to believe about Goddess Kali blessing Kalidasa with intelligent and thus making him a great poet and one of the ‘nine’ gems in the Court of Chandragupta.
We were also read and believe about God Muruga who blessed saint Arunagiri Nathar to author and sing nearly 10,000 songs praising God Muruga.
There are lot of incidents to cite…
It is blessing....
Yes, Sir.. just a century ago lived Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa who spent most of his life in close communication with Mother Kali.
There is this famous story of the first meeting between Sri Ramakrishna and his foremost disciple, Swami Vivekananda (Narendranath Dutta)....
Narendra : Sir, have you seen God?
Ramakrishna smiled calmly, and then promptly replied without any hesitation—
Yes, I have seen God. I see Him as I see you here, only more clearly. God can be seen. One can talk to him. But who cares for God? People shed torrents of tears for their wives, children, wealth, and property, but who weeps for the vision of God?
If one cries sincerely for God, one can surely see Him.
Swami Nikhilananda, who refers to the above incident in his book, goes on to add
Narendra was astounded. For the first time, he was face to face with a man who asserted that he had seen God. For the first time, in fact, he was hearing that God could be seen. He could feel that Ramakrishna's words were uttered from the depths of an inner experience. They could not be doubted.
