Chapter 41
🌻 The story of cunning ‘parivraajaka’ - 3 🌻
The opportunity of taking deeksha should be given to all people.’ The majority people in the Brahmin parishad said, ‘Sir! Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vysyas follow austerities.
So they can take up the deeksha, Sudras are ‘anaacharis’ (do not follow austerities), so they should not take up deeksha. Taking dakshina from them, we can uplift them with our power of tapas.’
Bapanarya said, ‘Every caste has people following austerities as well as people not following austerities. It is difficult to decide who follow austerities and who do not.
So keeping the community welfare in mind, we can do Datta Homan or other ‘yajnas and yogas’ and cause welfare for the whole society. I feel that taking dakshina and denying them deekshas looks like discrimination against them.
If we can uplift Sudras with our ‘Tapas Shakti’ taking dakshina, we can uplift other Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vysyas also. In that case special ‘deekshas’ are not necessary for any caste people. Moreover, the amount decided as ‘dakshina’ is very high. There are poor people in all castes.
They can not give this much amount. The poor people after giving dakshina to us will have to starve many days. ‘Dakshina’ should be made voluntary. Only amount given happily should be taken as dakshina. Then only Datta will be pleased.’ Thus he expressed his view.
Those Brahmins raised a ridicule. ‘Being Brahmins, when Paramahamsa Parivraajaka Mahasaya has come to our village, we have not given him a welcome with ‘poorna kumbham’ and Veda mantras. Moreover, when he himself is giving Datta Mandala deeksha for the welfare of all people, Brahmin parishad has remained quite unconcerned.
It is really shameful.’ Then Bapanarya said, ‘If he is really a Paramahamsa Parivraajaka Mahasaya, there are certain methods to be followed to welcome him.
A few days before his arrival, he should send word to the Brahmin parishad through his main disciples. Parishad will listen to them and discuss shastras with them. In that, the skill of those disciples will be known.
The parishad will take a decision and decide that they are the disciples of an able ‘parivraajaka’. Later when Paramahamsa Parivraajakacharya arrives, he will be given welcome with Vedamantras and poorna kumbham. After that, discussions will take place on shastras.
Then on the suggestion of Parivraajaka Mahasay, Yajnam, Yagam, Deeksha or Pravachanam can be done. Without any of these things Parivraajaka came to Kukkuteswara temple.
Immediately he discussed with you about Datta Mandala deeksha. Moreover, he asked for liberal donations. Is this not contrary to our rules?’
