The greatness of #Mylapore
Everyone is familiar with the name Sri Ki.Va.Jagannathan, a very eminent Tamil scholar, poet and author. Once when MahaSwamigal was camping in Mylapore, Sri Ki.Va.Ja’s daughter-in-law,
Tripurasundari went there for darshan. She was introduced to Sri Maha Periyava. She kept the fruits, flowers and other offerings which she brought for the Mahan in a bamboo tray in front of Him and prostrated. Raising His right hand, the Mahan blessed Tripurasundari and asked
“Where are you staying in Madras?”
Here in Mylapore Periyava, replied Tripurasundari.
“Do you have the habit of going to temples?”
Yes Periyava. Especially, I always enjoy going to Kapaleeswarar Temple and praying to Karpagambal said Tripurasundari with a face blooming with
Here in Mylapore Periyava, replied Tripurasundari.
“Do you have the habit of going to temples?”
Yes Periyava. Especially, I always enjoy going to Kapaleeswarar Temple and praying to Karpagambal said Tripurasundari with a face blooming with
happiness.
“What do you pray to Karpagambal?”
I always pray for the welfare of every being in the world Periyava. My father-in-law (Ki.Va.Ja) always says that we should not pray or ask anything for ourselves.

“What do you pray to Karpagambal?”
I always pray for the welfare of every being in the world Periyava. My father-in-law (Ki.Va.Ja) always says that we should not pray or ask anything for ourselves.
“That’s good. I will tell you something. Listen to
this” saying this He started speaking not only to Tripurasundari but to all the devotees gathered there. “It is because of your good and meritorious deeds in the previous births that you are now living in Mylapore. Do you know who this Karpagambal is? She is Karpagavruksham. In
heaven (Devalokam) there is a tree by the name Karpagavruksham. Standing under the tree, if anyone wishes for anything, that divine tree will fulfill the wishes. In the same way, if you ask for anything in the Karpagambal sanctum here, She will bestow it to you immediately”.
Listening to Maha Periyava, all the Mylapore residents’ eyes were brimming with tears of joy.
Sri Maha Periyava continued “Pray to her, that you should always be born in Mylapore in each and every birth of yours. You should have the fortune of getting her darshan throughout your
Sri Maha Periyava continued “Pray to her, that you should always be born in Mylapore in each and every birth of yours. You should have the fortune of getting her darshan throughout your
life. She cannot see anyone being hungry. She is the one who is feeding even the beggars and dogs living here in Mylapore”. When Sri Maha Periyava completed saying this, Tripurasundari prostrated to Him with tears flowing from her eyes being unable to control her emotions.
