Blessed with Periyava's darshan in Dream

12-May-2011

Today morning I had a dream like which I have never had before. During the whole dream I felt myself in a very elevated state.

(In the dream)
I am called upon to take up a responsibility in a temple. I could see the event headed by H.H.Pudu Periyava. Before entering the temple interior, I find H H Maha Periyava sitting on the right side of the entrance on a wooden plank leaning and supported by another plank. He seemed to be in his late 70's and gestured to me in the most compassionate way, And i prostrate before him and he says the following words accompanied by hand gestures "Vanduttu Po, Poyittu Va" (Come and go, Go and Come). Then he smilingly and lovingly speaks to me (now I do not remember what he said) I was only watching him prostrated and in tears.

(The scene that I could remember is like this, I think I am asked to renounce my family life and take up some activity in the temple, Preparations are also done to tonsure my head, but on the advice of Maha Peryava, I do not take up this...and eventually lead to the displeasure of those who arrange for this event...)

Even In the dream I felt I was in a very elevated mood, and felt the Sanidhyam to be very powerful. I could feel this Sanidhyam even after I awoke from the sleep.

I felt very happy since this was the first Darshan I ever got of Maha Periyava.

Photo: A very old photo of Sabarimalai

Sabarimala in 1942

Source: Web

This photo was taken in the year 1942, you can see the huge tree in front of the temple, which stands to this date. This is taken from the northern side of the temple, Karuppaswamy temple is also visible near the 18 steps. A Very rare photo.




Photo: Beautiful picture of Maha Swamigal

Divine Serenity Abound!!!


Oh! There are no words to express the divine serenity that one see's in this photo. This is a drawing and not a photograph. This was on the cover of a tamil book "Kanchi Mahan Aruliya Arputhangal" written by R.Venkataswamy. I am planning to publish excerpts from this book in this blog...Soon. This book contains heart melting accounts of experiences that devotees had in Maha Swamigal's shadow.
