Braj Baalika Maan Mandir Vaasani

Shri Murlika Devi

Muralika Devi is a prodigy who mesmerizes the audience with her deep knowledge of Braj, various shastra like Srimad Bhagavatam, Ram Charitra Manas, Garg Samhita, Bhakta-Maal etc. When she deliveres her narration along with Bhanuja and Radha, the audience gets mesmerized by her talents in a very young age. This has been possible only with the grace of her Guru-Maharaj Shri Ramesh Baba ji who has revealed to her the deep and secret meaning of the various Shastra and Braj culture which can not be understood without the mercy of a Guru.

The recent episode is an example her talents where this group was invited at the Gita Press, Gorakhpur where 7 days narrtaion of Srimad Bhagavantam was arranged. This is the renowned Sapataha arena, the Vyasapitha of the famous Rādhā Bābā and Hanuma Prasad Poddar. Only the most popular Vyasa’s are invited to this function in a year long celebration of the 100th anniversary of Radha Babaji. Sri Radhey Shyama Banka was the organizer of this celebration.

At such a prestigious event, there was opposition that a mere young girl was going to sit on the Vyasapitha, a first in the history. Many objected and were going to leave the function complaning that how can a young girl speak here in front of such a large learned audience? Will she be able to present the Bhagavat philosophy in front of so many Pandits who have spent their whole life reading and understanding the shastras? Sri Radhey Shyama Banka, the sponsor, said “I have invited them all the way from Barsana, they can not go back and she will speak as I have promised.”

Murlika was then allowed to sit on the very same seat of Radha Baba, available to only a rare few, and as soon as she began to speak, the entire crowd was mystified and the detractors silenced. After each chapter, she would make a commentary, extracting Radha Tattva from the verses, never been done there before. Her whole presentation was simply a ‘mouth piece’ to Shri Ramesh Babaji Maharaja, repeating whatever he has taught her.

One elderly lady, who attended Saptaha for the last 40 years mentioned that she has never heard anyone speak like this. Radhey Shyama Banka wrote a letter to Maan Mandir afterwards saying, ”Many of the biggest Vyasas have come and spoke on Kṛṣṇa Tattva, but this girl’s exposition has shown that Radha Tattva can be found in every verse of the Srimad Bhagavatam.”

As Vyasadeva’s description of Shri Radha is hidden in the pages of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, only the special devotees of Radharani can brings things to light.

Murlika’s concluding words were “I know that you think that I am a simple village girl, but I can only see that it is the mercy of Radha Baba that I have been able to come here and speak.”
