MIRACLE WITNESSED
Read in SM so sharing
*This interesting scene was in Supreme Court of India where the Bench was hearing issue of Shree Ram Janma Bhoomi!*
*There were counsels representing both the sides and each side had their own witnesses to provide Court with evidences!*

*While Shri Parasaran was putting forth the justifications for Ayodhya as Shree Rama Janma Bhoomi, the Honourable Judge intervened:*
*He asked “You quote from the Vedas and Scriptures for proving that Shree Rama existed, and other relevant issues!

Is there any evidence in the Scriptures that specify place of birth of Shri Rama?”
*An old gentleman rose from group of witnesses. He was one of Pragyasakshi (Chief Witness) & his parents had named him Giridhar!*
*He said “Honourable Sir, I request you to refer to Rig Veda!”*

*He specified chapter & shloka & said, “It is mentioned in Rig Veda, Gaiminiya Samhita! Slokas specify directions & distances from a specific point on banks of River Sarayu, to reach birth place of Shri Rama. If one follows directions, one reaches a specific spot in Ayodhya!”*

*The bench ordered for immediate verification, and Shri Giridhar was very precise and right!*
*There it was glaring at them from Rig Veda! And this person was quoting the shlokaverbatim from memory!*
*The bench remarked, “This is a Miracle we have witnessed today.!”*

*But the witness who was christened Giridhar was very calm and serene, as if it is a chore in the office on a normal working day!*

*To understand the wonder expressed by the Judge, one has to go back in Indian History, which needs overhauling at the earilest!*

*The year was 1950 January. 14th In the village Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh! Mishra couple - Pandit Rajdev Mishra and Shachidevi (It is nice to note that that child became a main Sakshi later in life, to reclaim Shree Ram Janma Bhoomi) – were waiting for the birth of their child!*

*A very hale & healthy child was born that day & they named him Giridhar!*
*Giridhar Mishra was fine, till a cruel fate played when 2 months old! That changed the life of parents & child!*
*Imagine a child who was eager to acquire his knowledge, but could not read or write!

Pandit Rajdev would sit besides the child, and recite shlokas from the Vedas, explaining each word in each shloka! He was delighted to find that Giridhar had a great grasp, memory and retaining capacity, and could memorise every single word taught to him orally!*

*He admitted his son to one of Mutts of Ramanand Sampradaya.He was taken in as a disciple, and he was given a new name - RAMABHADRA!*
Guru ji taught him and encouragd him to expand his knowledge beyond limits of any normal human being!* *Ramabhadra, in his zeal to explore the

universe of knowledge, learnt and mastered 22 languages,
including a few ancient ones! He could not read or write, and & to depend on his memory & its retention power
*He learnt Scriptures & modern verses, too! He became a fan of Sant Tulsidas explored world of Rama Charit Manas

Just Imagine! Somebody would read these epics and Scriptures, and he would store them in his memory for further understanding & analysis! He excelled in his work, often dictating to people, & getting feedback orally!*
At the age of 38, he was crowned JAGADGURU RAMABHADRA ACHARYA

one of the four Jagadgurus of Ramananda Ashram!*
*hy he could not read or write. . HE LOST HIS EYESIGHT COMPLETELY, WHEN HE WAS TWO MONTHS OLD. It is really staggering to learn about his achievements!*
*The blind Jagadguru, in addition to mastering 22 languages, is also famous

as a Spiritual Leader, Educator, Sanskrit Scholar, Polyglot, Poet, Author, Textual commentator, Philosopher, Composer, Singer, Playwright & Story Teller (Katha Vachak - Artist)!*
*He has authored more than 100 books, such as Gita Ramayanam, Shri Bhargava Raghaviyam, Arundhati,

Ashtavakra, Kaka Vidura among others!*
*He composed Shri Sitarama Suprabhatam!*
*As a poet, he produced 28 poems (Sanskrit and Hindi) including four epics!*
*Authored 19 famous commentaries on various Scriptures, popular ones being on Rama Charit Manas by Sant Tulsidas!*

*Composer of 5 Music Albums!*

*And 9 very popular discourses!*

*Founder of Jagadguru Ramabhadracharya University for the Handicapped!*

*Lifelong Chancellor of Tulsi Peeth (named after Sant Tulsidas)!*

*He was decorated with PADMA VIBHUSHAN in 2015!*

*I was filled with amazement as I was collecting information about him! A child who became blind, & fought his way up, to reach pinnacle of knowledge and education, and its propagation!*
*What a marvellous example to inspire one and all! I felt very very small insignificant!

I am sharing this with you all as it amazed me no end!*

*There is a niggling thought, though! How many of us were aware of this great blind man?*
*While Helen Keller was propagated for her achievements as a blind person, and lessons are taught on her,

Jagadguru Ramabhadra Acharya is a non entity in our education system That's how we are!*

*No wonder the Judge remarked “I witnessed a Miracle in my Court!"*
