Alakh Niranjan…
A tale that transcends the boundaries of the physical and touches the very essence of the soul
Sadhguru narrates the heartrending story of a Nath Yogi (saint)who offered his eyes to a woman who was enamoured by them.
On Sadhguru’s Enlightenment Day, this musical story is a tribute to all the great masters who devoted their lives to making people experience divinity within, and in everybody and everything around them.
Alakh Niranjan,” he chanted away—the fearless, colorless being...
He came in stride, standing at the door—an Alms seeking Yogi.
Smeared in sacred ash, adorned in sandalwood paste — A transfixing beautiful saint…
Her heart skipped a beat,
Her body in tingles — her ropes of restraint loosened…
In the gentle and calm ocean of her eyes — thunder and lightning had struck!
Embarrassed and shy, her cheeks slowly turned red.
“Alakh Niranjan, Alakh Niranjan” his ringing voice came back…
A festive joy, spread across her eyes,
the lightning struck again!
Forgetting her duties, she chose the mischievous path,
As the sounds of the Yogi’s bell called out to her…
Reason vanished, she was taken over, as the roar of love resounded...
She stood gracefully,
moved gently,
as she adjusted her colorful saree(dress)…
“Oh Yogi standing in front of me, what is this brilliance I see in your eyes?
Radiant like a gem, your shine stands out even amongst the sun and the moon!”
“Alakh Niranjan, Alakh Niranjan” — he came back again, the next day…
The closed door,
she swiftly opened,
and he stood in front of her again.
“O Mother”, he called her, and the Yogi gave her his begging bowl…
At the bottom of the bowl, were kept his two sparkling eyes.
