An experience at Melkottai

[Guest guest]

Namaskarams

 

Very beautifully told. I forwarded this post to my family and

friends. Here is a response from my uncle:

 

"I have a very similar experience. Amma, Chitra and I were in

Srirangapatnam and we had an Iyengar friend, Varadarajan, who

insisted that we go to Melkottai. The night prior, Amma developed

fever and her kness swelled and she spent a sleepless night.

Melkottai has to be climbed and we were seriously thinking of

cancelling the visit even though the climb is only a few hundred

feet. But Amma said let us try and so went. We were late and were

almost certain that we will miss the darisanam. But then Perumal

waited for us and we were blessed with a unique experience of a

Sandana kappu which we were told is very rare at around noon

when we reached there. And Amma's kal vali was gone!

(Of course, this is several years old.. around 1964!)
