A wrestler whose strength it was said was immeasurable, came to Kanchipuram. If a fistful of sesame seeds were given to him, he could crush it to oil quite casually. He had also won a number of competitions in boxing
and martial arts. So he had a horde of followers that admired him. His intention was to get a prize from Periyava. He was ready to exhibit his prowess in front of Periyava and was all set to wrestle with any one Periyava deputed as his opponent. A youngster who visited SriMatham
now and then and served there, let us call him Manakkal Krishna Sastri was a hefty, well-built man. Periyava sent for Krishna Sastri.

On several occasions I have learnt of Maha Periyava’s telepathic powers. Once my father’s bhiksha vandanam was fixed for a particular day in a town.
The previous evening at about six o’clock several persons from that town came to Maha Periyava and requested that they may be permitted to do Samashti bhiksha vandanam the next day. Maha Periyava said “The Dental Surgeon, Dr.Subramanian will be coming” The devotees said “Usually
he comes the previous afternoon itself. May be, he is held up at work and will not be able to come; Maha Periyava replied “You go out and see. He is just entering”. And sure enough my father appeared on the scene in a few seconds. At Sholapur I had the very unique opportunity of
