Experiences with Maha Periyava: Vacate the Mandapam immediately!
The mukham (camp) of SriMatham was in Anakunti, on the banks of the Tungabhadra river. One can see the ruined Chinna (cut images) of the Krishnadevaraya Samrajyam (empire) here.
They say that this was the place where Sri Rama, standing behind a tree, killed Vaali with his arrow. Similarly it was the place of Nava Brindavanam, considered sacred by the Madhwas. The Nine Brindavanas located on a rocky island in the midst of the Tungabhadra is adored as the Kashi of the Madhwas. So, Madhwas used to visit the place in large numbers, and do pooja with bhakti (devotion).
The Annapoorani temple, which is under the administration of the Chintamani Matham, is located in the city of Hospet. Goddess Annapoorani was given a decoration with laddus, in accordance with Sri Maha Periyava's Agya (orders)!
Around two o' clock in the afternoon, he gave his shishyas sudden and urgent orders to immediately vacate the mandapam (pavilion), where the cooking and dining was done and move to the place adjacent to the Annapoorani temple. "There would be a cat and its kitten staying in the samaiyal-kattu (kitchen). Drive them away too."
The mandapam vacated by the shishyas after the next half-an-hour for whatever reason, started falling down slowly!
Sri Maha Periyava saved everyone, including the cat and its kittens!

A boxful of fruits
When I went for darshan once, Sri Maha Periyava asked me, "Will you buy fruits for the Pathashala (Vedic school) boys?"
I got goose bumps. It would have been enough if He had said a word, "Buy fruits"? Would I not carry it out as the first task, keeping it on the top of my head?
The words of someone making an inquiry in Marathi language was heard. Periyava asked the man to be brought inside at once. The details narrated by the man who came were: He was a retired employee who worked under a raja-kutumbam (royal family) of Kashmir. Presently he was in Satara. That Kashmir king was one known to Sri Maha Periyava, he said. Gathering information that Periyava was camping in Satara, the King had sent ten wooden boxes filled with high quality apples, to be presented to the sage. Taking delivery of those boxes from the office of the lorry company, the man had come straight to Sri Maha Periyava.
He piled up the boxes before Periyava. "It has turned out very well! You are saved from the expenses! Take two or three boxes and distribute them among the Pathashala boys. You take one box..."
When hundreds of bhaktas were yearning to get one fruit from Periyava, I had the fruit prasadam of a boxful!

The bhakti of the boatman
The mukham (camp) was in Pandaripuram. Getting down from the bus, one can have darshan of Sri Maha Periyava, only after crossing the Chandrabhaga river.
It was eight in the night when we got down from the bus. The sky was overcast with rain clouds, and it was drizzling. Dangerous floods swept the river.
The boatman at first did not oblige. He said in Marathi, "It is dangerous to cross the river now. You can go in the morning." When we said, "we need to have darshan of MahaSwamigal...” he said, "Shankar Guruji? Achcha (well) climb the boat."
After reaching the other bank, I stretched my hand with the fare to him.
"Nahin (No) I won't take money! Shankar Guruji is our eye-witnessed Deivam (God). The very Pandarinatha (he is)! He called and talked to us. It was like Vittal Himself coming over and talking to us!"
Earth-ruling kings and well-read pandits adore Sri Maha Periyava. Here a pamaran (an illiterate) was adoring Him! How can this be?
Giving up the idea of finding an answer, I am falling at the sacred feet of Sri Maha Periyava, doing vandanam (reverence), to Him. Perhaps this is the answer?
