Akhandanand Swami (senior] was and ardent staunch devotee with extreme patience. Once he was passing through a forest with his disciples. They saw four tigers coming towards them. The disciples hurried to climb up the trees. Akhandanand Swami said, "The death is destined according to one’s own previous actions. It is sure to come. Nobody can escape from it. You may die by falling from the tree or even by stumbling. One should not fear from death. "The disciples climbed up the tree. The tigers came nearer. One of them ran forward and lifted his paw to kill him. Almighty God gave them the knowledge of the greatness of Swami. The tiger was standing with his paw lifted up as if spell-bound. Akhandanand Swami holding up his paw said, "It is your food. Eat it."To their surprise, all the tigers prostrated, circumambulated and went away.
