mahaperiyava

 Periyava’s care for plants and cows.
I first saw Periyaval in 18 03 1978.
That was a blessed day, the day when Periyava accepted me as his own. My father Sri T.R.Sundaramurthi(Teacher,Walajapet) had spoken of Periyaval’s greatness many a time. I had gone along with him often for Periyaval’s darsan. It was just a darsan. I felt nothing extraordinary happen  to me. But the darsan I had on the 13th March drew me to him forever. I was accepted as part of the fortunate group of attendants who served him.
Periyava was then at Sivasthanam. Can you guess what kind of work was allotted to me.? I had to draw up water from the well for the plants and trees.I was also given the sweet task of preparing a thin juice of jiggery and another,of spiced buttermilk plentifully, in huge cauldrons, to quench the thirst of the devotees who thronged the place in large numbers. In those days I was completely ignorant of the traditions and customs of the Sri Matha. Mettur Rajagopala Mama (later Mettur Swamigal), Balu Mama and the others taught me all that.
When Periyaval circumambulated the Sivasthanam Brahmapurisvara temple he would glance at every plant and every creeper  there. He would look at the cows and calves very graciously. In later days I have often thought that these plants, creepers and cattle had such good fortune that they received Periyaval’s attentive look in this manner. In those days, Periyaval would ask me regularly,” What did you do today?” I would tell him all that I did. His answers would hold a wealth of teaching. He would point out my faults without doing so obviously,without hurting  me and would school me out of it into maturity. Every morning by three o’ clock he would start from Sivasthanam and walk on the four mada streets of Sri Varadarajasvami temple in circumambulation. We would accompany him repeatedly chanting the Vishnu Sahasranamam in a soft voice.

mahaperiyava



Periyava was speaking with an engineer working in a company. Periyava asked his salary and he told Rs.3000/- Periyava was surprised at his salary and wanted that vaidikis must also earn like that.Such was his interest on vaidiks. Now vaidiks are  now better due to continuous patronage of Periyava. Periyava wanted always  that vaidiks must be honoured as they studied Vedas for long period. -thanks to original uploader of the photo

mahaperiayva


Unbounded anugraham-
Moments in Lifetime-S Srinivasan (Adambakkam) .


In October 1968,,my second son-in-law met with a serious automobile accident on his way to Bangalore. He was rushed to a nursing home  in Madras and was found to be in a very serious condition. Receiving word, I rushed from Delhi. I broke my journey at Hyderabad to get darsan and receive anugraha for my son-in-law,from his Holiness. Rushing from the airport to the Padmarao Nagar camp of His Holiness, I learnt that the camp was moving to Ramachandrapuram that evening. By  the time, I reached there,most of the camp had left along with the puja and His Holiness too, was above to leave. On my appearing before Him,,he directed the palanquin on which he was seated,which had already been lifted up, to be placed on the ground. He received my obseisance, and enquired of me in gentle soothing words:”you know, of course,that your son-in-law is out of danger” when in fact,I knew nothing of that sort was full of anxiety. I learnt later that my son –in-law was being taken to the operation theatre for surgery as he had not passed urine for three days and this was causing great anxiety to the doctors and the family alike. At the very moment of the His Holiness’s blessings in Hyderabad, my son-in-law passed urine naturally and the need for surgery was removed, as also the grace concern felt till then. It was obvious that the Maha Swami’s query to me in his imitable way was itself the transmission of his grace on the stricken young man,who thereafter recovered rapidly.

mahaperiayva


This is from Shri Ganesh sharma upanyasam on TV earlier

 Periyava was going along the streets visiting some houses. One small boy called Periyava ,Sir,come to my house. Devotees who were with Periyava told that boy that Periyava must be not called Sir. So the boy was along with Periyava and Periyava was visiting some houses. At one junction, Periyava stood for a while planning his direction. At that time, the boy came and called Periyava to his home. Periyava called the kaingariya devotees  to know from that boy where is Sir house? Periyava went straight to that boy’s house and his parents prostrated Periyava . Thus Periyava also fulfilled the Sir invitation. The visit of Periyava was similar to Kuselar house. Thus Periyava moved with children in a manner satisfying  them also. -thanks for original uploader of the photo

mahaperiyava about



This is from the speeches of shri ganesh sharma .-recorded earlier

Another interesting thing about autograph. A small boy came with their parents for darsan of Periyava.This boy was in the habit of getting autographs from VIPs. So when he came with his  parents to Sri Matam ,that boy wanted the autograph of the Periyava.  Periyava told the boy that after coming to peetam, he was not in the habit of writing and so he thought for a while how to fulfill this boy’s ambition.Periyava thought for a while and called the Manager of the Sri Matam to give a letter having his name,mudrai of Sri Matam   like blessings and greetings  from Sri Matam delivered  now to devotees ‘s houses for religious functions like narayanasmirithi and with the seal of Sri Matam.   The boy was in full of joy that Periyava gave the autograph.But Periyava posed one question to that boy whether he will sign an autograph for him. How this can be done? The Manager of Sri Matam was instructed to get this boy’s signature in the visitors’ book register when VIPs visit the Sri Matam. Thus Periyava satisfied  that small boy’s desire for an autograph.-thanks to original uploader of the photo

mahaperiyava

This is from shri Ganesh sharma upanyasam in TV. earlier

Periyava called  Ekambaram mama and enquired about his willingness to go home. Whether the children never want you to be with them. So you can go home to see your family. Ekambaram mama stood there without telling a word. But as he was doing kaingariyam to do Periyaval, he told that my family members  wanted  them to be taken where Periyava was staying and they wanted to be with me only. Periyaval  in a  joyful mood said whether they said like that and Ekambaram mama  also said yes. If Ekambaram mama told Periyava that  his family members wanted him to be with them, Periyava will sent  the kaingariya devotees immediately. After hearing from Ekambaram mama, Periyava told that your family members can be brought here with proper escort. Accordingly they came and had darsan of Periyava. Periyava told Ekambaram mama to take them to other places in and around Sholapur. Periyava after some days talked with Ekambaram mama, son and daughter and enquired about their trip to various places, playing dolls bought by their father. They showed  Periyava one horse cart and Periyava asked Ekambaram’s  son whether your sister will travel in the cart with you. So Periyava came down to their level and discussed with them . Thus gnanais will behave  like children or their acts cannot be inferred as Periyava  went from one temple to another temple. Nobody knows it .
