Source: In the Presence of the Divine Narratives of Experiences with Maha Periyaval - Volume 1 Translated by: Sujatha VijayaraghavanAt the Shiva TempleThe people of Veeravenipuram, a village near Bellary, relied solely on agriculture for their livelihood. No rain meant no means of livelihood. They came and complained in Kannada to Periyaval. "Is there a Shiva temple in your village?" "Yes, there is one". "Perform abhiseka there with a hundred and eight pots of water. It is enough that you chant 'Siva Siva' when you do it. Sit down in front of the shrine and chant Siva nama till dawn!" The people of the village worshiped Shiva the next day, following Periyaval's instructions. A day later the skies literally tore apart and it rained torrentially!********** The Chariot that did not move, moved!The chariot of the Hampi Virupaksa temple had been damaged in a fire accident and so the chariot festival had not been held for sometime. Periyaval encouraged the devotees at the Tungabhadra Steel Company to repair it. After it was repaired, for some reason, the chariot refused to budge. The matter was conveyed to Periyaval. Periyaval came there and stood for a while with his eyes closed. Then when the devotees pulled it, the chariot began to move, as if dancing in delight!
