But if perhaps you do, I am making reference to your wonderful blog site you created and shared with us in your introduction. As I have stated previously, I really welcome this site of yours, it is a resource of such valuable content, it feels so welcoming in the spirit it seems to project, so peaceful, advanced and yet at the same time non-judgmental of others, everyone can feel so comfortable who visits it.
Yes peaceful is one way to describe it.
One reason I am revisiting your introduction in regards to your wonderful site is in regards to a question I have of you, which is innocent curiosity.
I see you are an advocate for Shri Ramakrishna. In this regard, I have a fascination with Trailinga Swami and am impressed by this great mystic and yogi swami who possessed siddhis and is famous to those such as myself who are devouts of the Holy City and tirtha called Kashi (Varanasi) of which this Saint lived as a resident there for 150 years.
I make mention of Him in relation to Ramakrishna. Just to share some information with you in this regard, there were notable savants, yogis, saints and Hindus who have had personal Darshan with Trailinga which may be of interest to you.
These include Sri Ramakrishna, Swami Vivekananda's guru, and Shri Shyamacharan Lahiri the guru of Sri Yogananda who documented guru Lila in Autobiography of a Yogi first published in 1946.
Swami Trailinga would give diksha only to a very few. This included Kalicharanswami a close relative of Shri Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu 1485-1533.
Many swamis of Shri Ramakrishna Mission met Trailingaswami. And great Personalities of Kashi met and were inspired by Him, Gaudaswami, Kashthajihvaswami, Ramniranjanswami, Vishuddhanandaswami.
Have you heard of this legend?
His history is from 1607 until He left us in 1887 and for 150 years in The City Never Forsaken by Shiva. He was born in Telugu land Andhra Desa. He is in the documented history of India be in footnotes of autobiographies, biographies, world travelers and historians who mention Him, for two centuries and more.
When He left, he had Himself nailed into a coffin (He was not cremated) and sunk into the Ganges at Panchaganga Ghat.
Because of this unusual way of leaving, sometimes I wonder if in fact He is still here with us in India to this very day.
I really love your website. May Trailinga Swami bless you.
