Jagadguru #SriSri #Chandrashekara Bharathi Mahaswamiji the करुणामृतसरिदीशं

Jagadguru #SriSri #Chandrashekara Bharathi Mahaswamiji the करुणामृतसरिदीशं (an ocean of mercy): Scriptures describe that all animals develop a friendly attitude towards a Jeevanmukta. Sri Jagadguru was an illustration for this. The math elephant once became wild, not allowing anyone near, and refused food for a few days. Sri Jagadguru was in antarmukha state then. Few days had passed when He came out of the samadhi state. He heard its shouts then and immediately approached it, not minding the warnings of the attendants. The elephant allowed Sri Jagadguru to come near to the astonishment of all. It calmed down when touched by Sri Jagadguru and thrust its foot forward where a nail had stuck. Sri Jagadguru got the nail removed in His presence and the elephant was normal thereafter.
