He(Pandit Shridhar)
went on to invite people from one village to another. On his way, he
came across a group of saints. He very humbly bowed before them, and
with his folded hands, extended an invitation to them also to attend
Bhandhara, the next day. Gorakhnath - the leader of the group of saints
- told him that he was mistaking in inviting them at home, as even Lord
Indra had not been able to satisfy them. Pt. Shridhar got afraid and
related them the event and told them of the Divine-Girl. Gorakhnath in
his anxiety accepted Panditji's invitation. He also wanted to see,such a girl, who could prepare food for so many peoples and was very curious to find Who this Girl was?
Panditji was fully exhausted when he returned home, and so he went fast asleep immediately on returning home. The next morning, once again, he started worrying about the arrangements for Bhandhara. He just sat in his home, thinking, when people began to gather outside his small hut. Gorakhnath and Bhairavnath, a disciple of Gorakhnath, also arrived along with their disciples.
Panditji was not able to understand what was going on, and to his surprise, all of a sudden Maiya Vaishnodevi - The Divine Girl, entered into the little hut. No one could know - which way SHE had come! How and when did SHE arrive? Maiya told Panditji, "Don't worry, and get up! Everything will be arranged very soon. Tell your guests to come in and sit in the hut." Pt. Shirdhar, immediately got up, and came out to the eagerly awaiting crowd. He invited them to come inside the hut and have food. Gorakhanth then asked - How can we sit in your hut? It does not have a sufficient space for all of us. Panditji folded his hands and said. No problem - please come in .....
All people who were invited began to enter one by one in the hut. All of them were astonished to see, that all of them had entered and sat inside the hut and still a small space was left in the corner of the same hut, which was very small !!
Maiya Vaishno Devi began to serve food from a small vessel in HER little hands. The foods of their respective choice and likings! Everyone was surprised and Maiya Vaishno Devi bhakt Pt. Shirdhar was overwhelmed with joy.
Gorakhnath and his senior disciple Bhairavnath were very much amazed and began to consult between themselves - and said SHE seems to be an Eternal Power. Who SHE was? and when Maiya reached Bhairavnath to serve him the foods, he asked, "Shall I get the food of my choice?"
"What do you want?" Maiya asked him politely. |
