OM SRI GURUPYO NAMAHA RESPECTFUL PRANAMS TO SRI KANCHI MAHA PERIVA
Jagadguru Sri Maha Periyava - Kanchi Paramacharya -- face book
Humane people act in a kind, sympathetic way towards other people and animals, and try to do them as little harm as possible.
Experiences with Maha Periyava: Lehyam
Periyava would get pain in the chest, often. When he suffered from this, he would not be able to eat anything at all. So I told Venkataramaiyer, the lawyer, about it. He would consult his Homeopathy books and give some medicine. In a day or two Periyava would be relieved of the pain. Venkataramaiyer was no Homoeopathy doctor, but he practiced relying on his books. Then after a while, we thought of seeking Ayurvedic remedy. So I went to Venkata Subbachar and told him about Periyava‟s suffering from frequent chest pain. He said “I am working in Venkataramana pharmacy and can give a good medicine. But I do not wish to give Periyava something that is already on the shelf and being sold. His body is sacred and immaculate. Give me a few days, get me the things I want and I will make it afresh and have it ready. He gave me a list of things he needed, about forty or so roots and herbs. I got him everything. When I took to him, he said, “What about the ghee?”
“You did not tell me to get it” I replied. So I got the clarified butter and honey too, which he wanted. Four days later I went back and Venkata Subbachar handed over two glass jars of the lehyam (medicinal paste made from natural ingredients such as herbs and extracts, cured in clarified butter and honey) to me. I brought it to Periyava.
“What is it?”
“Lehyam . . . prepared by Venkatasubbachar, for Periyava, for relief from pain in the chest.”
“Put it aside carefully!”
So I put it away with care. Sometime later, Nagamuthu, who looked after the cows came to Periyava. One of the cows had not taken the feed, did not chew the cud or drink water, and he was worried. Periyava told him to fetch the cow. It was brought and made to stand in front of Periyava. Periyava told me to put the lehyam on a piece of banana leaf and give it to the cow. So I scooped out the lehyam, placed it in on banana leaves and fed the cow. The cow was led away and later in the day, Nagamuthu reported that the cow was back to normal.
“Are you unhappy?” asked Periyava, because he had not taken the cure himself.
“Not at all. What Periyava wills, I am happy to accept . . .”
Periyava said, “Had I taken it that would have brought merit only to you, because you have arranged for the medicine for your guru. But now, look . . . the thirty three crores of divine beings dwell in the body of the cow. By curing the cow, you, I and the whole world is blessed!”
