Chellapa Initiates Two Disciples
S. Rajam
a. Following the initiation of his two disciples, Chellap- paswami sent them off in different directions, declaring that you can’t tie two elephants to the same post. b.To prepare Yogaswami for his initiation, Chellappaswami required him, along with a second disciple, to sit on a large stone slab. For 40 days the pair meditated and fasted. To end the fast, the guru prepared a meal, handed a bowl to each and then kicked the bowls from their hands, declaring, “That is all I have for you!”
