Ahimsa Yatra reached Liluah today. Lay followers of Kolkata and nearby areas accompanied the Vihar and engrossed in the Prime Sermon in a huge number. Here is a magnificent glimpse of today's Vihar and Prime Sermon.
His Holiness Acharya Mahashraman preached in today's Prime Sermon about an enlightening incident of Acharya Bhikshu's life- How Acharya Bhikshu used to explain things. How he used to put forward his views. If someone asked him to answer his question that how many legs does a horse have? He replied- the legs of horse? One in front, then another one in front, then one behind, then one more behind; so a total of four legs. The questioner replied in a surprised tone: What a reply! I have a heard that you are such a learned man and still you took so long time to answer such a small question, such a general question a small child could answer spontaneously. But you took so long, one here, another there. Why did it take you so long to answer such a simple question that how many legs does a horse have? Acharya Bhikshu replied: Brother, if i would have replied to your question immediately then your next question would have been that how many legs does a centipede have? And then you would have said that if you could at once tell the number of legs of a horse then you should also tell the number of legs of a centipede. In such a case what would have been my respect? Then the questioner replied that this was only the matter as I had prepared to ask the next question about the number of legs of a centipede.
