GURUS--SIMILARITIES & CONTRADICTIONS


Even though all of them are GOD realized souls,
there are differences in their behavior & thinking!


SHRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA
BHAGVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI
                               NEWSPAPER READING: 
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was not reading newspaper,when a
newspaper was kept under his seat(without his knowledge),he got
up saying it is hot underneath.On the other hand Rmana Maharshi
was reading newspaper end to end every day,even though he was telling vehemently this world is an illusion & there is no creation 
of universe!

MY GURU was wearing only a bath towel around waist.
White dhothi while going out.

                          MARRIED LIFE: 
My GURU was married & was having children,He became an Avadhootha fifteen years back & his life was open to help 
anybody without any return expectations.He was going where 
his help was needed & very rarely you could meet him at house.
He was like a living GOD!
SHRI RANGA MAHAGURU of Mysore was a married GURU
with children.GOD used to provide him with knowledge on any 
subject naturally,without learning earlier.
Gondavale Maharaj was married & after his first wife passed 
away,he married second time a blind girl.
Living saint MALLANNA at Challakere is married,he has an Ashram there & his family is staying in one of the rooms.
Raghvendra Swamy was married,had a son & at the request of 
his Guru took sanyasa.
Sada Shiva Brahmendra married at very young age ,as was the custom at that time.Next day after marriage there was feast at 
M-in-law's house.He was hungry & asked for food.AS many 
items were to be prepared for feast there was delay.He felt 
remorse & ran away leaving every thing.He became an 
Avadhootha in real sense,he was naked & lived by begging.
Kaivara Naranappa was married,having children & his wife 
kicked him out of house as he was not earning sufficient money
to meet the expenses of family.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa was married to Sharada devi,but
he was treating her as Goddess,they were living separately.She 
used to prepare food for him & his disciples.

Shridhara Swamy
                                            
Shankaracharya,Sai Baba,Nithyananda,
Ramana Maharshi,Akkalkot Maharaj,Narayan Maharaj,

SWAMI NITHYANANDA

SHIRDI SAI BABA

AVADHOOTHA SAKARAYAPATTA


SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMI




SHRI GAJANAN MAHARAJ 
USING SUPER NATURAL POWERS:
Nithyananda was liberally using his powers to help people & 
society.He has told powers used by Avadhoothas are not 
siddhies.Shirdi Sai Baba,Akkalkot Maharaj,Gondavale Maharaj,
Raghavendra Swamy,Gajanan Maharaj,Sada Shiva Brahmendra were all using their powers. Ramana directly never used to show
 his powers,except on one or two occasions.Once a worker's son
 was bitten by a snake , the boy was brought to him,he passed his hand over him & the boy was saved.Other was when his Mother was about to pass away,he kept his hand on her fore head,chest from morning eight o'clock to night eight o'clock to get her Liberation & was successful! When thieves entered his 
ashram,beat him up & other mates, he did not use his powers.
Ramakrishna also used his powers rarely ,to show Vivekananda Divine experience,different colour flowers in the 
same plant etc. My GURU was also using his powers to cure sick
people,problems in life,what will happen in future etc. Some of 
his miracles have been posted earlier.    
        If Siddhies are used,that person will have to be reborn & his 
spiritual progress will be hindered. 
                                      EATING FOOD:
In a normal household husband tells wife what to prepare 
depending on his taste bud requirement or wife prepares 
knowing husband's likes & also different items with different tastes.However jnanis cannot be slaves of taste bud,hence any number of items are prepared & given,they mix them all 
 together & eat it. Ramana & Nithyananda used to do it this way.
Ramana used to beg & eat many years till ashram is built & his Mother started cooking. 
Nithyananda was not begging but people used to call him & feed him.
Sadashiva Brahmendra used to beg & eat,but mostly he was in 
deep SAMADHI STATE.
Gondavale Maharaj at Kashi,prepared food for fifteen people 
& fed more than Thousand beggars using his powers.Even today
free food is served at Gondavale where his samadhi is there. 


GONDAVALE MAHARAJ                                                 
Akkalkot Maharaj (Avatar of Dattatreya) used to be followed by hundreds of people & food used to be prepared for all of them,he was always on the move.Even today free food is served at Akkalkot.
                                                 
AKKALKOT MAHARAJ
Gajanan Maharaj used to eat from leftovers thrown on the road 
side,later people used to invite him after knowing his powers.
Shirdi Sai Baba used to beg & eat,even though he was making miracles all the time.Once in a way he used to cook himself & distribute it to his followers.
END OF LIFE:
Shankara Bhgavathpada told his disciples in advance,walked 
in Himalayas & vanished in thin air !

 Shri Shankara Bhagavathpada                                       
Madhvacharya of DVAITHA philosophy, his body became a
heap of flowers in a temple near Krishna Mutt at Udupi. 
Shri Raghavendra Swami & Sadashiva Brahmendra,Shripada 
of Mulabagilu,Manik Prabhu Maharaj, Marula Siddeswara Swamy entered Sajeeva Samadhi ie,entering tomb while living & when they signal, tomb will be closed by slabs.
  Shri Manik Prabhu Maharaj                                             
Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa passed away due to throat
cancer.
Bhagvan Ramana Maharshi passed away due to left hand
cancer near shoulder,even after five operations it did not get 
cured.Then doctors suggested amputating left hand,for which Ramana didn't agree & within a week he passed away.

Swami Nithyananda,Akkalkot Maharaj,Gondavale Maharaj,
Gajanan Maharaj,Shirdi Sai Baba all had natural deaths &
on prefixed dates.
