A person who was working for a company at Ambattur had lots of problems in his life! Sick wife, useless children to name a few. He had a friend who was Maha Periyava’s devotee.
The friend advised the person, “Instead of going through the
trauma of facing your difficulties alone, go to Kancheepuram. Have darshan of our Maha Periyava once. All your difficulties will vanish at that instant”. The person listened to this advice and came to Kancheepuram. He thought, “Even Kings from different parts of the world,
Presidents and also poor peasants come for Maha Periyava’s darshan. There will be lots of people around Periyava all the time. In the midst of all the crowd, how can I go near Him and explain my problems”. He got out the bus and reached the Sri Matham. Big Surprise! There was
none in the SriMatham! He lamented,”Oh my! It is my bad fate that the Sage has left this place!” He could not find anyone who he could ask about the whereabouts of Periyava. At a distance he spotted an old man. He decided to ask him.
“Sir, Do you know where the sannyasi has
“Sir, Do you know where the sannyasi has
gone?” he asked.
The old man replied, “Have you come to see him? Who has sent you?”
The person replied, “My friend (he mentioned the friend’s name) told me lots about the sannyasi. I have lots of family problems; my wife is always sick. My children are also useless! There is no
The old man replied, “Have you come to see him? Who has sent you?”
The person replied, “My friend (he mentioned the friend’s name) told me lots about the sannyasi. I have lots of family problems; my wife is always sick. My children are also useless! There is no
peace or happiness at home! Even though I earn an honest living, I cannot even have a bite of food peacefully! That’s why I came here to have the darshan of the sannyasi as per the advice of my friend.”
“Oh, if you tell your problems to the sannyasi, do you think you can get a
“Oh, if you tell your problems to the sannyasi, do you think you can get a
solution to your problems?”
The person thought in his mind, “Why this old man is asking like this?”
The old man said, “Why do you think you are going through the difficulties? If you think these are not your burdens, then you mind will get relaxed.”
“How is that possible? I am
The person thought in his mind, “Why this old man is asking like this?”
The old man said, “Why do you think you are going through the difficulties? If you think these are not your burdens, then you mind will get relaxed.”
“How is that possible? I am
the one who is going through these problems. Who is going to take my burdens?” asked the person.
The old man smiled. He said, “If we are travelling to a different place, we will be carrying our luggage. But, what will we do? We will hire a coolie to carry our things, right? So,
The old man smiled. He said, “If we are travelling to a different place, we will be carrying our luggage. But, what will we do? We will hire a coolie to carry our things, right? So,
we won’t have to feel the heaviness of the luggage. Our difficulties are also similar. No difficulties are ours. We have to strongly believe that, God will take care. Then we don’t have to experience any of our difficulties.”
Even though the person could not realize that the old
Even though the person could not realize that the old
man in front of him is “Jagath Guru”, nobody can hide the bright light or the heat of fire. God’s words flowed into him like a giant waterfall!
The Ambattur person said, “Revered Sir, after listening to your words I can feel my mind has relaxed a bit. It is better to surrender
The Ambattur person said, “Revered Sir, after listening to your words I can feel my mind has relaxed a bit. It is better to surrender
our burden to Bhagawan and leave everything to Him. I wanted to tell all my problems to the samiyar and put down my burdens, like I shared with you. But, unfortunately, I could not see him. I have to go back to Madras immediately. It is my bad fate. I think good times have not
come for me yet. But, I really feel pleasant after talking to you. Who are you? Are you from this place? Have you seen the Samiyar?”
There was a big smile on Periyava’s face. He said, “Everybody calls me Sankarachariyar!”
The Ambattur person immediately fell at Periyava’s feet
There was a big smile on Periyava’s face. He said, “Everybody calls me Sankarachariyar!”
The Ambattur person immediately fell at Periyava’s feet
right away. Crores and Crores of people yearn to have the darshan of Periyava at least for a second. That Maha Maha Periyava had been talking to this Maha Maha insignificant person for such a long time. This shows only His great compassion!
Men have to remove their shirts before
Men have to remove their shirts before
prostrating to Maha Periyava. The Ambattur employee did not have his Poonal! Maha Periyava is Sarvaantharyaami! He knows everything!
Periyava called one of His sevarthi and said, “Take him inside and put Poonal for him!” Periyava then blessed the employee and sent him.

“Difficulties, Difficulties” – if we lament that we are going through difficulties, those difficulties rejoice!
“Let it be difficulty or happiness, honour or dishonour, everything happens because of God’s will”, if we have strong faith in this, we can enjoy our life.

Because that is the truth as well.
