Reminiscences

On the way to Kashi, ShriMaharaj stayed at Harda, for several days. During that time, a person doing the work of trapping parrots and selling them came to ShriMaharaj with a parrot, and praising it for its smartness, he urged ShriMaharaj to buy it. At his insistence, ShriMaharaj bought it. When handing over the parrot to the priest he said, "Hang up the cage in front of Rama and teach it only to say 'Shriram, Shriram." Accordingly, the priest got the parrot trained, and it used to utter nama almost uninter­ruptedly. Thus ShriMaharaj accomplished the well-being of that soul.
