The Story Of Swami Rama - Holybook

The Story Of Swami Rama
his prose, in speech, in silence, in sleep, I saw it in
him when he was dancing on the sands of the
Jamuna in ecstasy, at Mathura. I have seen him
crying and weeping with this very love on the
swards of Vashishtha Ashram. Even there he
carried with him a miniature model of Krishna
with flute in hand and I enquired what it was. He
laughed and said: "This is Rama's magic not to be
shown to you." He showed it to me and kept it.
That this blossoming of his personality was sudden
is evident from the record of his letters which he
had been writing to one Dhanna Mal, an old
bachelor of Gujranwala under whose care the
father of Swami Rama put this impressionable little
boy when the boy joined the Gujranwala High
School. As a boy, Swami Rama liked the man,
owing to his religiosity and some extraordinary
powers of thought-reading that this Dhanna Mal
once possessed but which he seems to have soon
lost. Swami Rama had, at Vashishtha Ashram, a
long talk with me about the man and how this man
having some occult powers, lost his way
irretrievably in them with the natural result of a
complete downfall.
