Chapter 51: Epilogue, Boboji's Extraordinary Calibre


The Kalpataru, a Tree Which Grants all Our Desires

I pay obeisance to the Vaishnava luminaries who fulfill all our desires like the kalpataru (one of the fabulous trees of Krishna's paradise that grants all desires) and are an ocean of compassion who purify the sinful. 

Being able to speak about the grandeur of saints and devotees is not generally possible. Appraising them correctly by observing their lifestyle is virtually impossible. It is not necessary that saints of the same rank can fully understand each other's state and perception, but their distinguished character, unusual mode of life and unimaginable state is apparent by their charming mannerisms and scene for certain.


Lord Krishna's Attracts His Devotees

Their great departure (passing away) is a spirited antic of the Lord's Divine play and these saints are clearly perceptible even thereafter. Although there is no particular place in their life for miracles, God displays some such incidents which give us an insight into their persona. Our history is loaded with such events witnessed by devotees singing tales of their glories.


Revered Bobo

By now the readers would have had some estimate of revered Bhaktimati Usha Bahenji's amazing ability.I am going to describe one such unprecedented and powerful incident which is definitely tough to cite in this era.

Bobo's gaining entry into the eternal nikunja was seen by all well-wishers who were present at that point of time.The explicit movement of the eyes in this alert manner with the eyeballs turning completely towards Priya-Priyatam, is truly astonishing.

Well the very next day that is on 21st February,1992, revered Bobo was taken into the constant closeness of Shri Yamuna and this is precisely what she had ardently longed for.


Shri Radha-Krishna Beckon Bobo to a Nikunja on Yamuna Banks

Krishna, the Supreme Lover, and Radha His beloved were beckoning Bobo to the nikunja situated on the banks of the Yamuna whereas arrangements for living in their constant proximity had been attended to earlier...

Kamda Bahenji

While Bobo was being taken for union with the Divine,Shri Kamda Bahen a devout recipient of her grace,made an obeisance and prayed, “Bobo! Take me along too. Do take me along.”


River Yamuna in Vrindavan

And she also departed when Bobo was being taken to be consigned to the Yamuna's waters, as if she had come readily prepared in advance.


Shri Radha-Krishna in A Nikunja of  Vrindavan

Blessed is this unprecedented incident, remarkable spiritual leader,Bobo and her dependent disciple Kamda Bahen,yearning for the nectarean fruit of Vrindavan.


Spiritual Lighthouse Bhaktimati Usha Bahenji, Fondly Known as Bobo

Being a witness, history will continue repeating this incident.

Well-wishers may get tired of raving about its distinction, the pen may stop when pages after pages expound its glory but the grandeur of Bobo will be etched in golden letters forever. Becoming a spiritual lighthouse for  all of us, Usha Bahenji, fondly known as Bobo will  continue to show us the divine path for all times to come.

I bow a hundred times before such a famed, great, stalwart saint who was above all self-assured and dignified.

Chapter 50: Boboji Gains Entry Into The Eternal Nikunja - 6

The sweet forms of Priya-Priyatam came and stood in front, to take their inseparable and beloved sakhi along.


Supreme Lover Krishna Whispers the Mysteries of Love to Bobo


One doesn't know what message the Supreme Lover gave as He enraptured Bobo and laughed in joyous abandon. Stealthily Krishna whispered several tales of the mysteries of love, amorous frolics of His playful dalliance and spirited antics into her ears.


Holding the Hands of Shri Radha-Krishna

Steeped in the nectarean fruit of love and holding the hands of Radha-Krishna, Bobo went into the lovable Yugal's charming realm, in the presence of everyone. Becoming a spiritual lighthouse for sentimental people and showing the divine path to dedicated devotees.

Overwhelming several persons with affection, stringing them in a cord and bestowing perseverance ,Bobo, the icon of love, pampered Shyama-Shyam and soon became an ideal of loving seva.


Golok Dham, the Eternal Abode of Shri Radha-Krishna

The greatly fortunate Bobo considered earthly Braj and Vrindavan and eternal Goloka Dham where the god forever dwells, as manifestations of the same svarupa or Brahman.She conceived ordinary life here as parallel to the other comic life of Krishna. Bobo, the illustrious grandeur of Braj,composed padas laden with love flowing towards the Lord.

Honourable Bobo vanished from our mundane eyes but her divine perception, entry into the eternal lila and closeness is steeping and granting assurance to several dear ones even today.

The Seva of Shri Thakurji by Shri Sushila Bahenji


The Yugal Served By Bobo

Revered Bobo would remain so very busy in attending to the needs of her Yugal (Radha-Krishna).Her intimate sakhi and confidante Shri Sushilaji would conscientiously serve the sacred couple with the preparation as well as serving of bhoga being her responsibility.Soon after Bobo gained entry into the eternal nikunja,Sushila Bahenji took over the task of Thakurji's seva.


Revered Bobo and Sushila Bahenji

Bahenji was so meticulous that on seeing Shri Thakurji's shringar everyone raved that it seems as if revered Bobo had dressed up Thakurji with her own hands.

Appearing Before Dharam Bahenji


Dharam Bahenji

Dharam Bahenji was sitting in the same posture as she would often sit along with Bobo in this room.She could gather that Bobo had gained entry into the eternal nikunja. 

“Well Bobo! Now you would be sensitively sensing the handsome Krishna's presence everyday ” she asked impulsively.

 “Yes! And not just the perception, Shyama-Shyam forever stay by my side!” exclaimed Bobo.

Hearing this revelation Dharam Bahenji was very delighted and moved forward to embrace her but could not. 

 “Dharamji you won't be able to touch me because I have met you with my spiritual body. I have met you for real and it is not just a fleeting thought,” Bobo instantly explained.

Appearing Before Manohar Dasji


Shri Manohar Dasji

Some time had lapsed since Bobo had passed away.Being intensely close to her, Shri Manoharji would always remember her on his birth celebrations.This time round her absence hurt him. But guess what? On that very day he dreamed of her and rested his head on her lap.

“This meeting made such a deep impact on my heart that it seemed I have met her with greater intimacy than when I used to do so in the material world.I am greatly fortunate that she thought of me even up there,”overjoyed on waking up, he acknowledged,“

Showering Her Grace On Vijay


Vijay Bhaiya

Revered Bobo appeared languid in the last few days.We can not call this state a dream but saying that it was wakefulness would be a deception. Her maternal affection had changed Vijay's life because  he had been nourished by her loving fondness at a very young age. He told us that revered Bobo was lying down at a certain place with a sheet on her and he also lay down on her right due to his habit of slipping off. Clinging to her like a child, he rested his face on hers.

“ I am also coming to you,” soon after he told Bobo,

"Not yet since you are looking after the work,” she explained.

These sort of uncertainties would tug at his mind in those days. He got great strength on knowing that she had become the conjuncture in his writing a book and was inspiring him off and on.

A Feeling of Intense Closeness Towards Sushila Bahenji

The incident dates back to the month of December in 1993. Sushila Bahenji saw revered Bobo leaning against the wall close to the Yugal she served and ecstatically expressing a few beautifully enchanting words.

Madhury Adhishthatree Shri Radha

She could not recollect everything but terms like 'madhury adhishthatree', the supreme principle of sweetness,-'saundarya adhishthatree' , the controlling principle of beauty-'lavanya adhishthatree' , the supreme principle of charm were used to describe Kishoriji, Sushila Bahenji remembered vividly.

Sushila Bahenji came much nearer to Bobo for listening to her opinion.

 “Meditate upon the sweet ineffable beauty of Radha-Krishna,” is what Bobo had to say for her associates.

“Intuitively,”-”Intuitively”-intuitively," is what she repeated.

Instantly the scene changed and she was seen in the proximity of Thakurji. 

“You must be remembering the case of the shoe.*How concerned is He about me.”*

*The matter roughly dates to the year 1952. Bobo dragged a huge bedding from her room and spread it in the verandah outside for taking rest.It was evening and kind of dark.Somehow a shoe came under the spread and when she lay down it nestled under her head.She had seen Shri Thakurji taking out the same shoe by putting his hand under the bed spread. Bobo had narrated this experience at that point of time. Recollecting it now she endorsed how much care Thakurji took of her.

Grace on Nisha

 Arunachal Pradesh

Nisha was employed in ArunachalThe denizens of that region did not approve much of people from other states and villagers often created disturbances. As was her routine Nisha was sitting in front of her Thakurji and doing kirtan when she heard the sound of footsteps.Turning around to have a look she saw revered Bobo standing. She had not been able to utter a word when Bobo gestured that she should move from this state and must take Thakurji along. Nisha followed her close behind.Leaving her on the path which led to the house of a relative working there, Bobo vanished.

Nisha was dumbfounded and spent the night at the same relation's house.At dawn on the very next day they came to know that the tribals had devastated Nisha's house as a mark of their retaliation.

She was overjoyed that Bobo had urged her to move to a safe place, well in time.Several such incidents regarding Bobo are famed.

Bobo Appeared Before Dharam Bahenji Once Again

Revered Bobo had an intense feeling of intimacy for Dharam Bahenji.

Thakur! Tussi dasso, main paath karaan ki jap, keertan karaan ki satsang vich jaavaan?*once it so happened that Dharam Bahenji kept asking her Shri Thakur in Punjabi,

**“Jo taainu changaa lagdaai,”instinctively she heard Thakurji's sound in Punjabi.

Hearing Shri Thakurji's answer in her own language Dharamji was astonished. Instantly she heard a familiar sound of someone laughing joyously.Turning around she saw it was Bobo.

“How loving and liberal is the Lord,”smiling, Bobo teased her as she had done  earlier.

*“On Thakur! You must guide me whether I should do paath or japa, do kirtan or go for satsang.”

** “Whatever you like.”

Another Perception By Santosh Bahenji

Santosh Bahenji

Santosh Bahenji had repeatedly heard a lot about revered Bobo and was eager to know more about her. Reading a particular shloka everyday, she would lie down.But she did not have any sort of perception for ten days at a stretch.

Santosh Bahenji Saw Bobo Taking Part in the Raas

Later she saw at night revered Bobo, in her divine form, taking part in the Raas, the round-dance of Krishna with the herdgirls of Braj. Krishna, the Supreme Lover and His beloved Radha were resplendent in the centre. Bahenji could recognise Bobo even though she was present in her celestial form.


Revered Bobo

Making us distinctly experience several such perceptions and messages through the medium of dreams, Bobo gave her candid opinion on several blazing topics.

Once Shrish Bhai Saheb was upset by some complication when he heard Bobo's voice, “Go to Vrindavan.”He did the same and everything was solved.

Bobo had given an indication of her final departure and union with the Divine to Shantanu Rana beforehand.


Uma Bahenji Saw Bobo's Divine Form In Barsana


When Uma Bahenji went to Barsana for Holi and was praying to Shriji, “Make us all join in your festival,” she saw revered Bobo standing right there in her Divine form.She was sprinkling gulal and indicating by her gaze that we must celebrate the festival with enthused exultation.

Once Rajesh Bhai was facing a tough time regarding his job and was very worried. He reflected that if Bobo had been there he could resolve the problem and slept with this thought. 

He dreamed that Bobo was assuring him, “Do not worry. Everything will work out fine. If you ever face any difficulty go to Sootji (Sushila Bahenji) in Vrindavan.” 

The next day when he went to office everything was decided in his favour. Heading straight to Vrindavan from there, he narrated the incident.

Assuring her dear ones at every step, meeting them in person and showing them the divine path, everyone can constantly sense and experience revered Bobo's sensitive perception along with her closeness. From time to time all of us continue to get her support as earlier in an imperceptible as well as perceptible manner.

Chapter 50: Boboji Gains Entry Into The Eternal Nikunja- 5

Sensitive Perception by Shri Lalit Bahenji in Delhi


Lalit Bahenji

Lalit Bahen had to go to Delhi unexpectedly on 14th or 15th February, 1992 . Having to arrange for strips to check diabetes she rang up Chetan Bhai in London and he had them parcelled.

Before dawn,she saw in her dream on 20th February, the lovely face of Bobo quivering in a blue mass of cosmic energy.There seemed some shadow alongside. Lalit Bahenji was instantly absorbed in transcendental delight and had never experienced such unprecedented joy earlier. Off and on, tears of delight would stream down her cheeks and she was touched.


Shri Radha-Krishna and Sakhis Waiting to Welcome Sakhi Bobo

Therein she saw the handsome Krishna, Kishori Shri Radha and the sakhis, Her replications, engrossed in preparing for some grand festival with enthused fervour. All of them were beautifully decked, and delightedly attending to the work around. A little later she heard a voice which asserted that all these elaborate arrangements were being made to welcome their inseparable sakhi.

Getting to know of Bobo's ill health it did not take her much time to figure out the underlying message of this scene. Her perception became an additional link in the chain indicative of revered Bobo's entry into the eternal nikunja.

Revered Bobo felt uneasy while breathing on the night of 19th February. Today it was 20th February and a certain numbness paralysed nature; the enthusiasm of birds was confined to their nests and a particular dampness affected dawn.The cycle of destiny was in motion. 



 Shri Balkrishna Das ji Maharaj Arrived

Precisely at ten o' clock Shri Balkrishan Dasji Maharaj arrived with Ghanshyamji accompanying him. Manohar Dasji,Rama Deviji,Bahen Kusum, Manorma and others who formed the parikar (circle) of Maharaj ji were already present. Revered Bobo respectfully greeted him and after sitting for some time he left. After a while the others followed suit.

Taking a bit of milk at 12 o' clock, Bobo lay down. Vijay kept sitting by her side.At one o' clock she insisted that her cot be shifted to the left of Shri Thakurji, where she would be brought everyday at 3 o' clock. They clarified several times that it was not time yet but she was adamant because


Bobo' s Yugal Sarkar


the Yugal Sarkar she attended to, were closer from that angle. The bed was arranged as per her wishes.Around two o' clock Sushila Bahenji left with Kaaki for a dip in the Yamuna. Bobo then drank the Yamuna Water brought by them as was the practice.

Bobo was appearing absolutely alert today. In the middle of the day she drank the minimal possible milk or liquid and lay down at 2 o' clock . Her gaze was constantly fixed on Priya-Priyatam, the Supreme Lover and His Beloved. She would reply in monosyllables when questioned in between but her mind was focused on the Divine. Relishing the beauteous forms of Radha-Krishna and reaching the heights of elation and ecstasy, she would wipe her tears of joy off and on.

It was four o' clock now. Manohar Dasji (revered Bhaiya) came and wanted to check her pulse. Again he tried to feel it very carefully but what was this? Either he was having a misapprehension or his mental faculties were deceiving him. Bhaiya gave her medicine but no improvement was seen in the pulse rate. Vijay sitting next to her checked the sugar level and it was very low. She was given glucose and sugar to drink while Brajesh Bhai went and got a doctor from Mathura.

An effort to check the blood pressure was made. It was so strange that the pressure shown by the instrument was zero but revered Bobo was absolutely alert and told us to serve tea to the doctor.Meanwhile she asked Mahantji to move from the side of her feet and sit elsewhere, advocating that he be given tea or milk.She was fully conscious.



  The Gushing Love of Shri Radha-Krishna

 
Steeped in the Love of Shri Radhe-Krishna

Her persona was soaked in the gushing love of Shyama-Shyam, which was spilling over from her eyes, her face, her bearing and steeping everyone present.

Dr.Raj Kumar Saxena, Arunima and several other well-wishers who gave full support during her illness and served her by making themselves available at times, were present and eager to know the doctor's opinion.

The doctor had left and Bobo had sent the others to their respective homes for attending to their Shri Thakurji's needs. She was very particular about Thakurji's seva even at such a crucial moment and could not tolerate any kind of negligence. 

Time ticked away and the sound of 'Shri Radha', and 'Shri Krishna' would charm the calm scene intermittently.

Revered Bobo asked the time and Vijay sitting next to her, confirmed that it was six o' clock.She looked at the handsome Krishna. Her heart was flooded with love and peace along with movement of the pupils in closed eyes. Full of joyous abandon, her mind was tranquil and chanting God's name, her tongue was delighted. All this pointed to the natural reactions and instinctive attachment of her life, absolutely surrendered to the refuge of Shyama-Shyam, which

Krishna, the Supreme Lover

was getting a constantly charming assurance from the Supreme Lover.

After a while she asked the time again. 

Replying, “Six-thirty” Vijay was quiet. 

 Soon after, she raised her hand and pointed towards Shri Thakurji. Undoubtedly she was greeting the invitation received from Shyama-Shyam for gaining entry into the eternal nikunja. Assuming that the bhoga was ready, Vijay took her to the adjacent room with Sushila Bahenji trailing behind them.There revered Bobo wrapped her arms around Sushila Bahen and Vijay, and hugged them.Steeping them in the terrifying rush of her love, she signalled that they should forever live in harmony.

Picking her up in his arms, Vijay got her in front of Shri Thakurji. Her body was in Vijay's hands while Omi and Mudit were caressing her feet.Revered Shri Manohar Dasji, Shri Ghanshyamji, Shri Sushila Bahenji, Dr.Saxena, Bahen Uma,Vimla Kapoor, Santosh Narang, Nirmala Sharma, Deepa were present.Some other bahens were standing outside.

The pupils of her eyes naturally turned towards Shri Thakurji in everyone's presence, as if she wanted to look at Him to her heart's content and was conversing with Him.The sinhasan was pushed towards her.Once again Bobo's eyes' pupils turned around fully from left to right towards Thakurji. That is when the rare treasure of temporal Braj went into the proximity of Krishna,the treasure trove of eternal Braj.

Revered Usha Bahenji fondly known as Bobo (elder sister) had described the same perception in her last lines.Attaining their objective Priya-Priyatam came smiling and took her to their abode today.



Priya Radha & Priyatam Krishna Take Bobo to their Eternal Abode

Priya larhile Shyam ghan
Laal larhaitee baal |
Hansat hansat aavat chale,
Mand manohar chaal ||


Govind Ghat in Vrindavan

By their loving grace Radha-Krishna had given Bhaktimati Usha Bahenji the boon of their joyous closeness at Govind Ghat.This nikunja site near Raas Mandal had also intensely witnessed the union of Shri Dhruvdasji, Shri Sevakji and Shri Narvahanji with Priya-Priyatam. Bobo became immortal by making a mark of her remembrance by dissolving into the Absolute at this sight.
