Experiences with Sri Maha Periva - The Shiva Temple!
A village called Veniviraapuram near Bellary was populated by people who depended on agriculture for their life. If there were no rains, there was no jeevanam (life).
They came to Periva & supplicated to Him in Kannada.
"Is there a Shivan temple in your village?" asked Periva.
The people replied - "There is".
Periva said - "Do abhiShekam (to the Shivalingam) with a 108 pots of water. Enough if you do it uttering the mantra ""Shiva, Shiva"". @RajeAiyer@Aravindh_partha@KanchiMatham
Do Shiva Naama japam sitting in the sannidhi, until sUryodayam (sunrise)."
As ordered by Periva, the Shiva Aradhanam was held on the next day.
On the day after, they skies parted & it rained heavily!
