PADMA PADAR

INTRODUCTION
Padma Padar was born before few thousand years
in India, in a pious Brahmin family, and he was
considered as the main disciple of Sri Adisankara,
and he has done lot of service to his Guru. Once
when he was drying the clothes in the other bank
of the river, he was suddenly called by his Guru.
Without thinking about the water in the river, he
immediately tried to cross the river. To his
surprise, for his each and every step, a lotus
flower was formed, and safeguarded him from
drowning in the river water, till he reaches the
other end of the river. He got such a kind of great
Guru Bhakti, which we cannot imagine in this
today’s selfish world.
He also participated in the debates with the
scholars and won in the debates and got lot of
prize money for that, but he distributed it to the
poor people. He helped his guru in his spiritual
works, and sincerely served as a devotee, disciple
and an attendant to his Guru. He went to many
holy places along with his guru, and got the divine
darshan of the deities. Once when he was in Kasi
along with his Guru Sri Adisankara, he got the
divine darshan of Shiva-Parvati and Kala
Bhairava, and got their blessings. He also helped
his guru towards spreading the Advaita Vendanta,
and preached the importance of Lord Shiva among
the people, and spread the “SHIVA BHAKTI”
spirit throughout India. According to him, Lord
Shiva is the one, who can protects and safeguards
us from all sorts of problems, and he would come
with us in our every walk of life, based on our true
bhakti on him. He obediently served his master for
many years, and after his death, he reached the
abode of Lord Shiva, the Kailasa.
Let us worship the great saint and be blessed.
