Ram Ratti

Ram Ratti

During  His pilgrimages , Prabhuji  reached  Jamunia-Ghat on the banks  of the Ganges situated on the borders of Bengal and Bihar. He had just had His bath and morning prayers, when He found  two persons, a father and his son, engaged in a conversation.  The father said,“Let us go in exile”. The son suggested,“Death by drowning  ourselves in the Ganges, is better than such a life”. While the conversation was going on. Prabhuji intervened and enquired what the matter was. The son replied,”Mahatma ji ! mind your own business”.  The father immediately forbade his son and said, “Sonny ! it is not fair to conceal facts from mahatmas !” He humbly  submitted to Prabhuji, “One of our daughters, on account of bad company, has fallen to such immoral such ways of life that people condemn us; she does not listen to us. The entire reputation of our noble family have tarnished causing us such a frustration and desperation. We are very much fed up with her”.

Prabhuji enquired, “What is her name? Does she ever pass this way?” The father said,”Maharaj ! around  this  very  time, she  often  passes this way and  her name in Ram Ratti”. As  the conversation  was  going  on, the father of the girl saw Ram Ratti coming in the very direction. Apprehending  that the girl might avoid them, her father and brother decided to hide themselves and prayed to Prabhuji to put her on the right path. In the meantime, Ram Ratti also reached there. Prabhuji called her and asked whether she would speak out the truth and tell whatever was enquired of her. She replied that she would do so since she was not afraid of anybody. Prabhuji asked what her daily routine was and also added that she would be appropriately rewarded if she spoke the truth. Ram Ratti revealed that four o five friends of her visited her in the morning and took her out for drinking and merriment. Prabhuji enquired what for she was reveling in that fashion. She frankly replied, “ For the sake of pleasure.” Prabhuji  said, “If you get million times greater real  bliss, would you change over or continue with the current course of life?” Ram Ratti inquired if there was some really better pleasure. Prabhuji replied, “Yes, close your eyes, concentrate on your forehead and we will let you experience it, right now”. She closed her eyes and Prabhuji transmitted His powers through shakti-sanchar. Ram Ratti entered into trance, had the divine vision, the divya darshan of Prabhuji and her inner joy knew no bounds. He called her father and the brother and putting her under their care and protection, Himself went away to visit some mahatma. After three days when  He came back, He found that Ram Ratti, unaware of her physique, was still lying in ecstasy. Prabhuji called her out but there was no response.

Prabhuji  asked her father, “Do you like this  state  of  hers or that one which was previously had?” The  father  replied,”My  Lord, this very position is perfectly alright”. Shri Prabhuji said, “Do not consider that she is unconscious, rather she has been transformed to goddess Durga. She  should  be  fed  with  Milk   from time  to time and  her  clothes  be kept  neat  and  clean. If you render such services, your noble  desires would  be  fulfilled”.

The  people  present  there  asked, “Maharaj ! does the privilege of service  belong  to  her  father  and  brother  alone  or  can  we  also  have  the opportunity of  service  to  her?” Prabhuji replied, “Whosoever serves her with  devotion  and  affection, will  be  duly  benefited”.  At  this,  her  father  and   the  other  people  expressed  great  joy. In the state of trance, Ram Ratti was taken  home. Prabhuji , thereafter, left for His onward journey.
