One afternoon, after bathing in the Narayan Sarovar, Ghanshyam and His friends visited a lush mango orchard on the eastern side of the village. With incredible agility, Ghanshyam climbed a vibrant mango tree and began picking the sweetest, most delicious fruit to share with His friends below. While the other boys enjoyed the mangoes, Ghanshyam remained seated high upon a branch.
Soon, a group of Brahmins from the village of Gaura arrived, traveling to a festival at Devi Patan. Seeing the piles of fruit the children had gathered, they were overcome by greed. One of the Brahmins, Himatram, and his companions decided to take the mangoes for themselves.
Veni spoke up firmly, “Please do not take these; we have gathered them ourselves. There are other mangoes on the ground you may take.”
Rather than listening, the Brahmins tried to intimidate the children, glaring at them and even raising a wooden staff to strike. From high above, Ghanshyam’s voice rang out, “Why do you try to frighten children? You should have more integrity.”
Suddenly, while remaining seated on the high branch, Ghanshyam stretched His arm to an impossible length and snatched a water pot right off the shoulder of a Brahmin named Ramdutt! Stunned and angry, Ramdutt began to climb the tree to catch the child. However, Ghanshyam began to move from branch to branch with supernatural speed. Nine Brahmins joined the pursuit, scrambling through the tree, yet they could not catch Him. Just as they thought they had Him cornered at the top, they looked down and saw Ghanshyam standing calmly on the ground.
The Brahmins realized that this was no ordinary child. Ghanshyam gently pelted them with mangoes until they descended and asked for His forgiveness, recognizing His divinity. Ghanshyam then kindly returned their belongings and sent them on their way with a newfound sense of peace.
This prasang has been documented by Sadguru Shree Bhumanand Swami in the 21st tarang of Shree Ghanshyam Lilamrut Sagar.
