Why Radhika undertaking this Penace is neccessary?

Preach what you practice:

Both the Lady & her son attended the prayer meet . After the meet a thought came to lady's mind.
The son was eating too much of sugar. He was fond of eating sugar. He was not listening to any body & it was not good for his health.

The lady thought if Gandhi ji speaks to her son about not eating too much of sugar, he will definitely listen to mahatma Gandhi.
The lady took her son to Mahatma & Narrated the problem. Mahatma Gandhi Listened attentively But did not say anything to her son. On the way back home the lady thought may be it was too small a problem for great leader so he did not pay any attention to it.
Some months passed by & the lady completely forgot the incident.
The lady again thought of visiting the prayer meet conducted by Great Gandhi & took her son along with her.
Both mother & son attended the prayer meet & were happy to see The great Leader again.
After the meet suddenly Mahatma Gandhi asked the lady to bring her son to him.
The lady took her son to mahatma. The great leader affectionately touched the head of the son & asked ? Do you eat too much of sugar. The son replied in affirmation.
Gandhi told the son not to eat too much of sugar as this was not good for the health.
The lady was surprised That great leader remembered there first meeting & took so much care of talking to her son.
The lady was perplexed too that when first time she asked mahatma he did not pay any attention.

She asked the great leader, sir when I first met you & ask to reprimand my son , you did not pay any attention & today you from your own came & told my son not to eat too much of sugar.

The great leader replied. Quote " when you came first time , I myself was in habit of eating too much of sugar. How could I preach when I myself was eating too much of sugar. In last couple of months I tried & reduced my intake of sugar substantially. I thought now I am in a position to tell the young boy about not eating too much of sugar. ''

This was Gandhi the great Leader who never preached the things which he himself never do.

Thanks Anu, very nice post.

I agree that this dand is necessary for Radhika to become RPtain in the full sense.

1. Radhika fullfilled her marriage vows publicly with Dev in the hospital and completely became his wife with all PF and SF members as witness. Kanha gave her society's approval which lacked in the first marriage due to her face (and the truth) being hidden.

2. Radhika fullfilled all duties, vrats, vows, and rituals as part of her bahu dharam both before and after her second marriage to Dev and completely became CB in the true sense.

3. Radhika fullfilled her SR with Dev and completely connected with him, mind, body, and soul. They are now one in every sense of the word.

4. Now all that is left is for Radhika to officially become RPtain and be declared worthy enough to hold the postion. Through both RP pujas she was already declared RPtain but now with this dand and the clearing of any doubt in the Mahant's and Dharam Saba's minds, Radhika will completely become RPtain.

CVs love going in circles and slowly all the circles will be completed.
