It was in 1986. The Sri Rama Navami festival was being celebrated in the suburban layout of Khar Road, in
Dadar in Mumbai. I had gone there to listen to the spiritual discourse. A short while after the discourse started, I began to feel uneasy. I could not sit. I did not know what had gone wrong all of a sudden. I got into the bus because I thought it would be good to travel with a
number of people. I wrote down my home address and telephone number on a piece of paper and put it into my pocket. I chanted the Vishnu Sahasranamam continuously. When I reached my house, a doctor who lived close by saw me and enquired, “What is it? Are you not well?” He took me
into his house and checked my pulse. Then with visible worry on his face, he checked my blood pressure. “The problem is that your blood pressure has shot up. Do you have any heart related problems?”
I said in reply, “Not that I know of.”
“Well. You are very tired because you
I said in reply, “Not that I know of.”
“Well. You are very tired because you
have returned from an outing. I shall come over after half an hour. I suggest you lie down quietly till then. In case the blood pressure does not go down, then we may have to take you to the emergency ward.”
My wife, Kamala, opened the door when I went home. The doctor, who had
My wife, Kamala, opened the door when I went home. The doctor, who had
escorted me told her of my condition. Worried and frightened, she prostrated before Sri Paramacharyal’s photograph and said, “You are God to me. I do not know what I must do. Please save my husband. It is your responsibility to save him. I rely solely on you. Grant me your grace
in alms.” Her prayers began to flow from a distressed heart. After half an hour the doctor came back to check my blood pressure. He did not look anxious now. His words were consoling. He said, “There is nothing to fear. The blood pressure has gone down. But it is better that you
stay in bed and rest. I shall take a look in the morning.” I prostrated before Periyaval’s picture and slept well that night. The doctor came home again the next morning. “Your blood pressure is back to normal now,” he said with a smile. He advised me to rest at home for a week.
Later a friend of mine, a heart specialist came home and examined me. “Everything is normal. There is nothing to fear,” he said. The next day I received a phone call. It was from Srimathi Rajeswari, Pudukottai Rajamma’s daughter. “I had gone to Kasi to offer bhikshavandana at the
Hanuman Ghat, during the Vasanta Navaratri. I returned today. When Sri Pudu Periyava gave me prasadam, he gave me some more separately and said, “As soon as you go to Bombay, hand this over at Veda Narayanan’s residence. Veda Narayanan’s wife prayed to me. Tell her not to worry,”
He closed his eyes and prayed for a while before handing it to me with his blessings.” The day Sri Pudu Periyaval had handed over the prasadam for me and the day my wife made her prayer were one and the same. Sri Maha Periyaval and Sri Pudu Periyaval are not different from each
other. We understood the truth that they are one and the same.
