Madhukari Bhiksha

[cnu pne]

His Holiness : What is the importance of Madhukari or Bhiksha in Gangapur?

I : Devotees offer Bhiksha as they believe that Lord Dattatreya comes in disguises to receive the Madhukari.

His Holiness : Is there any ‘Drishtanta’ for this?

I : Yes. In our house at Gangapur the offering of ‘jawar rava’ (in Kannada ‘Kuchha’, in Marathi ‘Kanya’) everyday as Madhukari. Once in the time of my grandfather, this rava was prepared late and it was distributed as Bhiksha when it was very hot. The same night my grandfather had a dream where a Sadhu came and his palm had a swelling due to a burn. This swelling was due to Bhiksha of hot rava. It is the Drishtanta by which we know that Datta Guru receives Madhukari.

His Holiness : This is not Drishtanta. If anybody sees God by his own eyes then only it is Drishtanta. Although it is a good sign.
