Chapter 41
🌻 The story of cunning ‘parivraajaka’ - 4 🌻
The Brahmins asked, ‘This is not the time to discuss whether rules were flouted or not.
Will you and your son-in-law Appala Raju Sharma take the ‘deeksha’ or not?’ Bapanarya said, ‘we both will take up deeksha only for the welfare of the society but not for personal welfare. Because we are not taking up deekshas, we can not give ‘dakshinas’.
If any one in the Brahmins want to take up deekshas and are ready to give dakshinas, they can do so according to their will. Brahmin parishad will think about the things related to common problems and common good, but not about the individual deekshas, individual problems and solutions.’
Shresti and Varma also declined to take up mandala deeksha. But Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vysyas were given freedom to take up ‘Datta Mandala Deeksha’ or to decline.
🌻 Sripada gives Datta Deeksha 🌻
There were some farmers devoted to Sripada. Venkaiah was chief among them. Sripada went to Venkaiah’s house. He declared that he would give Datta deekshas and no one should be disappointed that they were unable to take up deekshas. Moreover, He announced that dakshina could be given according to their willingness.
He also announced that deeksha was not necessary for 40 days and only one night deeksha was enough in His case. For one complete day and night, Sripada stayed in venkaiah’s house.
Sripada gave deeksha for the people of all the 18 varnas. Among those who took deeksha from Him were some Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vysyas also.
🌻 Sripada declares Himself Datta - 1 🌻
Sripada come out openly as Sri Datta on that day only. That day happened to be Thursday which was very dear to Datta Prabhu. He gave His auspicious blessings to all people whom He gave deeksha and made then do ‘bhajana’.
He declared that He Himself was Sri Datta, His vast programme was waiting for Him and if He was remembered, He would be pleased and fulfil the desires of His devotees.
Later, on Friday morning, Sripada went to Narasimha Varma’s house. He was given ‘mangala snanam’ (auspicious bath) there. He accepted only one banana. He gave it to the gomatha present there.
