<strong>of</strong> <strong>Gaura</strong> Kiśor Dās Bābājī Mahārāj. You give your decision, and we<br />

will follow that.‛ Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur saw that all the bābājīs were<br />

nonsense—materialists making a nuisance with no spiritual feelings.<br />

Then Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur declared, ‚You all know I am the<br />

disciple <strong>of</strong> Bābājī Mahārāj, but I am not claiming his body because I<br />

am a brahmachārī, and he was a bābājī. You can take this body. I am<br />

declaring to the group <strong>of</strong> bābājīs present here that you can take the<br />

body <strong>of</strong> Bābājī Mahārāj. But only someone who was not polluted by a<br />

woman in the last month can touch my Gurudev’s body, otherwise he<br />

will be destroyed.‛ And so many bābājīs left. Then Saraswatī Ṭhākur<br />

very strongly said, ‚One who has not mixed with a woman in fifteen<br />

days, that bābājī can touch my Guru’s body.‛ Then many left. Then he<br />

told, ‚Seven days.‛ Then he told, ‚Someone who did not mix with a<br />

woman last night can touch.‛ And they all left.<br />

The police <strong>of</strong>ficer was surprised to see that and said, ‚If they tell a<br />

lie, then what will happen? They can say ‘Yes, I am a clean man.’ Then<br />

what will you do?‛ ‚If anyone tells a lie, he must be destroyed, and<br />

they know it.‛ Then the police <strong>of</strong>ficer said, ‚Now what will you do?‛<br />

Prabhupād Saraswatī Ṭhākur said, ‚I shall give him samādhi.‛ And<br />

like Mahāprabhu gave samādhi to Haridās Ṭhākur, he dug a samādhi<br />

with the help <strong>of</strong> Sakhī Bābu, Kuñja Bābu, and others. Some <strong>of</strong> his<br />

followers were there.<br />

We observe this Ekādaśī day.<br />

dāmodarotthana-dine pradhāne<br />

prapañcha-līlā-parihāravantaṁ<br />

vande prabhuṁ gaura-kiśora-sañjñam<br />
