MADANA MOHANA MALAVIYA |
|
| The PrayerPandit Vrajanath, the revered father of Pandit Malaviya, managed to
earn his livelihood only by reciting Srimad Bhagavatha (a collection of stores about Sri
Krishna, and about his devotees) and explaining the text. He had no other source of
income. We can easily manage the difficulty of this devoted Brahmin in making both ends
meet. But he believed in the kindness of God and had the firm faith that God would not let
down those who trusted Him; so this Brahmin left his fortunes in the hands of God.
Pandit Premdhar Malaviya died. After completing the last rites of his father according to religious custom, Pandit Vrajanath went to the sacred Gaya to complete the religious ceremonies. After the ceremonies were over the priests said to Vrajanath, "Pray God to grant any wish you have; we shall bless that you may succeed. Pandit Vrajanath faced the east, folded his hands and prayed: "God, grant me a son -the equal of whom has not been born and will never be born." |
