A young Ramait monk in Ayodhya had a vision that Lord Rama had again incarnated on earth somewhere in the East. In order to see him, the monk started on foot eastward from Ayodhya. When he reached Bengal, he heard that there was a great saint called Sri Ramakrishna near Calcutta. He finally found Dakshineswar after a long search and asked someone: “Where is Ramakrishna Paramhansa?” The people of the Kali temple told him that the Master had just passed away a few days before. Hearing this heart breaking news, the monk exclaimed: “What! He passed away? I have come from Ayodhya from foot (nearly 1,000 miles) just to see him. I went through so much hardship to get here now he has left the body!” The young monk began to sob.
The Manager of the Kali temple offered him some food from the temple store, but he refused it. He went to the Panchavati and stayed there for 2 or 3 days without eating.
One night Sri Ramakrishna appeared before him and said: “You have not eaten anything for several days. I have brought this pudding for you. Please eat it.” He fed the monk and disappeared. The next morning Ramalal went to the Panchavati and found the monk full of joy. He asked: “What happened?” Then the monk told everything. He even showed Ramlal the clay bowl in which the Master had brought the pudding. [The bowl was preserved for a long time but later it was somehow destroyed.]
