In response, he has spoken about his mind. Also, Rambhadracharya has also told that his treatment was offered by Indira Gandhi. But he refused. Please tell that Jagadguru is knowledgeable of Rambhadracharya scriptures. Even without eyes, he has memorized various scriptures including Ramcharitmanas.
I refused clearly
Rambhadracharya recently came to Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast. During this time, he was questioned that never wanted to see this worldly life, people, loved ones? Then further Rambhadracharya was asked that in the middle it was heard that the government had asked for the treatment of your eyes. On this, Rambhadracharya told that I was also told by the government. Indira Gandhi also said in the year 1974. Mafatlal Group also said, but I refused it clearly. He told that I refused because I do not mind to see this world. On this answer, Rambhadracharya was again asked why he does not want to see the world? On this, he said that this world is not worth seeing. Only Lord Rama is worth seeing.
What did Indira Gandhi say for the eyes
After this, he also reinforced an old memory. Rambhadracharya told that there were five Sanskrit competitions at the all -India level, and I had secured first place among the five. At that time, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi came to reward. When I came first in the first three competitions, he said that I know that now the names of these two will also come. After this he told me that you are so talented. I can arrange treatment for your eyes. Then I told him a Sanskrit verse and told him why I do not want to see again. Explaining the meaning of Shloka, Rambhadracharya said that now anything is not worth seeing in this world. It has faults. The people living in it are full of illusion. There is sin here. Now, only the vision, with curly hair, which is being adorned with Mukharvind, is worthy of seeing Lord Rama.
Eye light was lost at the age of just two months
Significantly, Rambhadracharya’s eyesight had gone in childhood. At the age of just two months, he became unable to see due to trachoma disease. However, even after this, he remembered all the scriptures while demonstrating the unique talent. Rambhadracharya was educated under the supervision of his grandfather Suryabali Mishra. Born in a village in Jaunpur district of Uttar Pradesh, Rambhadracharya later did a lot of work for religion and society. On one hand, he got his iron in religious matters. On the other hand, while fulfilling social responsibilities, all the underprivileged supported education and shelter.
