Interesting Story
One 11th bright night, Shri Thakorji told Parmanand Das that He heard his kirtans sitting in the lap of Jalghariya Kshatri Kapur. Shri Navnitpriyaji appeared before Him in million times beautiful form than that of Kamdev[3] that he could not resist going to Adel to have darshan of Shri Navnitpriyaji and to meet Kshatri Kapur. There on the banks of river Yamuna he saw Mahaprabhuji doing Sandhya rituals and in him he had darshan of Shri Krishna Himself in him. Shri Acharya asked Parmanand Dasto sing kirtan of Shri Krishna’s leela. He sang the song of agony of separation. Shri Mahaprabhuji asked him to sing the songs of sport related to childhood of Krishna. Shri Parmanand Das humbly with folded hands said that he does not know anything about that. Then Shri Mahaprabhuji asked him to take a bath in Yamunaji and come back. After that Shri Mahaprabhuji bestowed him with the initiation of Hastakshar and Bramhasambandh and also narrated him to “Dashamskandh Anukramanika”[4]. Consequently according to Shri Mahaprabhuji’s order he sang the songs of childhood sport of Shri Krishna in Ashavari, Bilaval, Kanhara ragas.[2]
