Guest guest Posted January 2, 2002 Report Share Posted January 2, 2002 Velachari Mani,a distant relative and classmate of Sri Bhagvan,came to see Him first when He was at Virupaksha Cave.He prostrated before Sri Bhagvan and stood with tears in his eyes. Sri Bhagvan was silent.His Mother was a bit surprised.She thought that Sri Bhagvan must have forgotten His classmate."Don't you recognize him?" she asked.Sri Bhagvan was silent. Again she said,"Don't you recognise him? He is from Madurai." Immediately Sri Bhagvan said with a smile,"Why not? Isn't he the mischievous Mani?" Everyone was surprised and mani iyer was overjoyed. Mani iyer and vembu iyer, another classmate of Sri Bhagvan,used to come and spend some days at Skandasram.When i was new at the Ashram,one day,early in the morning i saw two persons lying on the hard rock close to the stream beside Skandasram.When they saw me,they said, "Please ask Sri Bhagvan whether Brahma and Vishnu could see him." It sounded funny to me. I reported this to Sri Bhagvan.Laughingly Sri Bhagvan said that they could come in.Both came. Later i learned they were mani iyer and vembu iyer.When i asked Sri Bhagvan whey they called themselves Brahma and Vishnu,He said,"I don't know.That's each one's fancy.They imagine me to be Siva,mani to be Brahma, and vembu to be Vishnu.Look at the Soldierswamy here.He thinks he is my bodyguard." in Sri Bhagvan, sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
