Strange are his way of blessing
On Saturday January 8th 1994 i started piligrimage to sabarimala at 6.45 pm from ayyappa temple kirkee. As I missed the kanaka bhishekam of paramacharya , I made up my mind to visit kanchipuram and have his holiness blessing on my wat back from sabarimalai.
Next day at guntakkal i saw that paramacharya has taken mahasamadhi. As per my vow I can not break my piligirmage to sabarimalai . as planned earlier i started back my journey from Madurai to madras via kanchipuram on 13th evening so that i will be in madras on varusha paruppu day at my brother in law’s place. Pongal panai was at 12 pm on 14th Jan.
I started from Madurai by bus at 4 pm to tricchi and there boarded bus to madras via chengalpet. Man proposes and God disposes . the bus did not take off till 11pm due to some political problem. Again about 40 km from chengalpeth the bus tyre got burst and replacemen came only at 8 am. Probably i was not destined , with heavy heart ,i have drop the idea of visiting kanchipuram as all my planned programme will go fut.
I was longing to see his Samadhi place and prostrate before to get his blessings and i have to have a long wait.
Last year in jan when I was on south trip i got an information that at orikkai consecration of maha periyava mani mandapam took place recently. Next day me and my wife started by a fast track car from Chennai to mani mandapam via srimadam. The detail of my visit can be seen from the attached video.
Strange are the way of blessings by gurudev who prevented me visiting his mahasamadhi on my way back from sabarimalai 11 years back blessed me at orikkai last year.
