Guru charitra adhyay 14

Various versions of Sri Guru Charitre are available in Kannada and other languages as well. The one in this blog is written by Sri Vasudevananda Saraswati, also known as Tembe Swamy. For the benefit of devotees familiar with Kannada language, Sri Sadashiva Devudu has translated Sri Tembe Swamy’s work in a beautiful language easily understood by the present generation. Sri Sadashiva’s mastery over the language and the inspiring way in which he takes the readers to great levels of divinity are only to be felt by reading the text. Sri Sadashiva has already translated Sri Ekkirala Bharadwaja’s Telugu work, “Sri Guru Charitra” into Kannada. It is earnestly hoped that Kannada knowing devotees would be greatly benefited by the present work. Mistakes, if any, which might have crept in inadvertently may please be pointed out in the comments.

He will receive you well and send you back to me. Have faith in my words. I am here till you return and then I shall proceed further. You have been my devotee, you will live happily and havelasting wealth.' Sayamdeo went to the cruel Muslim King. He was reciting Shri Guru's name all the time. As soon as the king saw Sayamdeo he turned his face and went inside. Sayamdeo said to himself, `What harm a cruel king can do to one, who is blessed by Shri Guru? How can a serpent bite the kids of a garud? How can an elephant kill a lion? A Devotee of Shri Guru has no fear even from death'. The Muslim king felt drowsy and had a sound sleep. He saw in a dream that a Brahmin was beating him. When he awoke and came outside, he saw Sayamdeo. He came to him, fell at his feet and said, `you are my master, who called you here? You can go back happily'. Saying this he offered cloth...
