Dear Bhaktas,Sri Tirukkudandai Andavan is said to have

travelled

all over India by pAda-yAtra or foot alone. Today,

Sri Gopala Mahadesika Swami of Poundarikapuram Andavam

 

Ashramam also is said to travel only by foot,

eschewing

all cars as modern conveniences not allowed by

sannyAsadharma.

How do sannyAsis like this travel between cities? Is

it

that they only walk within a city by foot (like some

Advaita

sannyAsis), and use cars or other transportation for

longdistance travelling?

I would like to know the real facts here.

Of course, nearly all sannyAsis these days use cars

for

all their travel; Sri Gopala Desika Swami may be the

loneholdout.

Yes, this great man never even wanted to take a boat

to cross the river on his Badrikashrama tour. He

preferred taking the longer route across the bridge.

There are stories about someone in the middle of the

night approaching him and helping him find a shorter

route without the boat. He spoke Tamil and his name

was supposed to be "RAMANUJA" (in North India??) And

he wore the PUNDRAM!!

It was after crossing the river that HH Thirukundadhai

Andavan realized it was some super human help and

started to cry.

THIS TRUE STORY HAS NOT BEEN MARKETED SO FAR. Most of

them who were with him on the tour know about this.

HE HAS TRAVELED A LAKH AND ODD KMS BY FOOT.
