Revealed
Supremacy of Maharaj:
On
the second day of Fagun Vad in the S. Y. 1916; the idol of Shri
Harikrishna Maharaj was ceremoniously installed in the temple
of Junagadh at the hands of Raghuvirji Maharaj. After that,
Swami accompanied by Acharya Maharaj, arrived at Vadtal via
Bhavnagar. After celebrating the samaiya of Hari Navami over
there he went to Aniali near Vagad. Motabhai Atmanand Swami
who was the disciple of Ramanand Swami was living there at that
time. He was 116 years old. He was very glad to meet Swami He
asked a question to Swami why Maharaj was not taking him to
Dham. Swami explained to him that there must be some lack of
understanding in realising the true identity of Maharaj. After
that Swami basing his talks on Vachanamitram talked about the
supreme identity of Maharaj as the supreme incarnation, as Purushottam
Narayan, and also added that it was not possible to obtain the
privilege of worshipping Him without becoming one with Brahman.
After hearing these words of Swami, Atmanand Swami was convinced
about the true identity of Maharaj and about the glory of Swami.
When both the sadgurus settled down for meals Atmanand Swami
demanded prasadi from Swami's dish. Swami replied, "The
river Ganges cannot flow in the reverse direction." It
was a practice with Swami to take prasadi from the dish of Atmanand
Swami. So Atmanand Swami said that till that day, he had unknowingly
given him prasadi from his dish, but now he had realised the
true glory of Swami. Within a short time after this incident,
Atmanand Swami left this world.
