It was on Saraswathi Pooja day during Navarathri that this incident happened. As usual, Sri Maha Periyava completed the Chandramouleeswara pooja and started doing the Saraswathi pooja. One Vaideekar Purohit Mama was sitting near Him and was reciting
the pooja mantras from a book in his hand. He recited the Sankalpam, Aavahanam, Prana Prathista, Anga Pooja and started reciting the Saraswathi Ashtotram. At the end of each Namaha, Swamigal was offering Her a flower. Then the Vaideekar came to the line and read:
“Om Brahma Jayayai namaha!"
The flower in the Hands of MahaSwamigal did not reach Saraswathi's Lotus Feet but remained motionless in His hands, about to be delivered! The Vaideekar kept reciting the same Namavali “Om Brahma Jayayai namaha” in the same manner, several times but

Maha Periyava:
During #Navarathiri Maha Periyava would do puja to girl children each day considering them as the Navadurgas, nine girl children aged from 1 to 9 years, treating them as Kaumari, Tripura, Kalyani, Rohini, Kamini, Chandika, Saankari, Durga, and Subhadra. Navatri was
due in the next few days. A couple submitted before His Holiness a set of mangala dravya (auspicious articles) comprising a skirt, blouse, bangles, comb, chain of black beads, a Kumkumam vial and a small mirror, for Sri Periyaval's use as nivedanam to a Kannika during Navaratri.
"Today is Friday. It would be vishesham (special) to perform the Kanyaka Puja today itself", said Periyaval and turned His sight around. A poor girl standing near Him came within His holy eyes. He called her to Him. To the dampati He said, "Do the Kanyaka Puja to this child right

Mahishasura was a deceitful demon who pursued his evil ways by shape-shifting. He was the son of Mahisi (Buffalo) and the great-grandson of Rishi Kashyapa. He is ultimately killed by the goddess Durga with her trishula (trident), after which she gained the epithet
Mahishasuramardini (Slayer of Mahishasura). The Navaratri (Nine Nights) festival eulogises this battle between Mahishasura and Durga, culminating in Vijaya Dasami, a celebration of his ultimate defeat. This story of the #triumph_of_good_over_evil carries profound symbolism in
Hinduism, and is narrated from the Devi Mahatmyam. Here the slaying of the demon has a deeper meaning, related to each of us individuals. She fought with him for nine days and finally destroyed him on Vijayadasami! The buffalo-demon and the buffalo is a proverbial symbol of

Many years ago, Sri Maha Periyava was on His way to having darshan of Sri Nandeeswarar at Parangimalai, St Thomas Mount in Madras. En route He had darshan of Trisulanathar and Tripurasundari and then rested for a while under a fig tree (as He always
walked, whatever be the distance).
He felt thirsty and so called out for one of His shishyas. But, since they were resting at a distance, no one heard Him. Then, there appeared a Little Girl with water in a 'sombu' (a small vessel) and offered it to Him. He drank it and when He
wanted to return the sombu, She was not be seen around any where. He asked every one, but no one had even seen Her. Then He sat in meditation for a while and realised that the Girl was none other than Ambal herself. He called the village head and other people and told them to dig

#MahaPeriyava #Navarathiri This is an incident that happened many years ago. It was a time when the construction work of Uttara Sri Nataraja temple was going on in accordance with Kanchi Paramacharyal's orders in the Satara town of Maharashtra. People thronged daily to have
darshan of Sri Maha Periyava who was camping in the town. It was three o' clock in the afternoon on a Sunday. A 30-year-old youth prostrated before Periyava and got up. Tears were seen in his eyes. Noticing it, Periyava asked him with affection, "Enpa, Who are you? Where are you
from? Why are your eyes watery?" Without replying, he started crying. People nearby consoled him and made him sit before Periyava.
"Where are you from Appa?" Periyava asked him.
"Palakkad, Periyava."
"You are coming all the way from Palakkad?" asked Periyava immediately.
"Yes

Kanchi Mahaperiyava had asked Shri Joshi to make a Kuthu Vilakku (lamp) of gold and bring it to Him. For some reason Shri Joshi could not go to the Matam and instead sent it through another devotee Shri Ramanan. Shri Ramanan submitted the lamp to Him
when he went to have His Darshan. It was around 8.30 pm and He was sitting in the Mena. On seeing the lamp Periyava took it in His Hand and tells those who had assembled near Him:
“During all days of Navarathri, Ambal comes physically and sits exactly at 8 pm on the Meru in
Kamakshi Amman Temple in Kanchipuram. So, take this lamp, light it and place it near the Meru! Since the Meru will become hot due to the heat of the flame, prepare a ball of sandhanam (sandalwood paste) and place the lamp on top of it!”
So, please do visit Kamakshi Amman temple

இன்று #நவராத்திரி ஆரம்பம். நவராத்திரியில் துர்கா, லக்ஷ்மிய, ஸரஸ்வதி தேவிகளை பூஜிக்கிறோம். இருப்பது ஒரே பராசக்திதான். துர்க்கையாக இருக்கும்போது வீரம், சக்தி தருகிறாள். மஹாலக்ஷ்மியாகி தனங்களைத் தருகிறாள். ஸரஸ்வதியாகி ஞானம் தருகிறாள்.
ஆதிபராசக்தியான துர்க்கையைப் பார்வதியோடு
ஐக்கியப்படுத்திச் சொல்லலாம். ஹிமவானின் மகளானதால் மலைமகள். மஹாலக்ஷ்மி பாற்கடலில் தோன்றியதால் அலைமகள். ஸரஸ்வதி எல்லா ஞானமும் தருவதால் கலைமகள். பர்வதராஜ புத்திரியாக வந்த அம்பாளும், பாற்கடலில் பிறந்த மஹாலக்ஷ்மியும், இரண்டு மஹரிஷிகளுக்குப் பெண்களாகவும் அவதரித்திருக்கிறார்கள்.
மஹாலக்ஷ்மியை மகளாகப் பெற்று, சீராட்டி வளர்க்க வேண்டும் என்று பிருகு மஹரிஷி தபஸ் செய்தார். அதற்கிணங்கவே லக்ஷ்மிதேவி அவருக்குப் மகளாக பிறந்தாள். பிருகுவுக்குப் புத்திரியானதால் பார்கவி என்று பெயர் ஏற்பட்டது.
‘பார்கவி லோக ஜனனி க்ஷீரஸாகர கன்யகா’ எனறு ஸம்ஸ்கிருத அகராதியான ‘அமர கோசம்’
