Listen Later

This episode covers the next part of chapter 31 from: 
“On many occasions the swami was seen to drink, with no ill effect...” 
to 
“...The sinner, healed by Trailanga’s words, slunk feebly away.” 

Summary: 
This section of the chapter explores Trailanga Swami’s mastery over the body and mind, including his ability to drink poison, walk on water, and remain unbothered by extreme heat, and we look at the dottect lines connecting these capabilities to Hindu mythology and scripture. Paramahansa include Trailanga Swami’s interactions with authorities in Banaras due to his practice of remaining nude, and a dramatic story where he demonstrated his powers by drinking poisoned lime mixture intended to harm him. We also examined biblical references and interpretations of divine justice, particularly regarding the story of Elisha and the she-bears, discussing how spiritual mastery allows for instant manifestation of karmic consequences.
