Shri Sukar Kshetra: Soro Baithakji Number 23

In the area of Soram Kshetra at Soram Ghat, Shri Mahaprabhu Vallabhacharya made his halt. There Krishnadas Meghan went to see his former guru wiothout Mahaprabhuji’s permission. His previous guru asked him, “why have you made a second guru” Krishnadas replied, “ you are my guru and it is by your grace I have come into contact with Lord Vallabhacharya.”

His guru then questioned, “How do you know he is truely the Lord.” Krishnadas then took some burning ambers in his hands and declared, “If the fire does not burn my hands, then know what I say to be true.

The fire failed to have any burning effect on his hands and his previous guru the became convinced of Shri Mahaprabhu Vallabhachrya’s divinity.

Once while Mahaprabhuji was bathing in the Ganges, his older brother Keshava puri arrived there. He showed off to his brother that he could walk on the waters of the Ganges. Mahaprabhuji seeing this said that man’s greatest power is in serving the Lord. When his brother asked him to demonstrate some of his prowers, Shri Mahaprabhuji was not pleased such boasterous talk and remain silent. On the following day, his brother again showed off his ability to tred water but when he reached to middle of the river he sank. Drowning, he called out to his brother who was at that time making his prayers. Shri Mahaprabhuji siting on the bank, extended his arms hundreds of feet and saved his sinking brother. Keshava Bhatt seeing this miraculous feat bowed low before Mahasrabhuji.
