Echammal

[Guest guest]

Echammal came to Sri Bhagavan in a distressed condition,

having lost in quick succession her husband

and her two children. Climbing the hill , she stood in silence

before him , not telling her grief. A whole hour she stood,

no words spoken, and then she turned and went down

the hillside to the town , her steps light , the burden

of her burden lifted . Such was her deep devotion that for

the rest of her life she never took her food without serving

Sri Bhagavan first , and her house was a veritable haven

for his devotees.
