[Guest guest]

Kumaraguru had darshan of Sri Bhagvan for the first time when He was

at Virupaksha cave.He used

to Sri Bhagvan frequently.He was a good doctor.Whenever he came to

Skandashram,he would bring

fruit and vegetables.He was staying with his family in the town.He

used to consider himself

a devotee of dogs and would bathe and feed the ashram dogs like

Sikappan,Karuppan,Kamala

and Jackie.He used to shower his affection on them.He had a photo of

himself taken along with

them.After Sri Bhagvan moved to Mother's samadhi,he used to visit

Him.A little later he

passed away.

Soon after,his son,Subramanyam,who used to serve the ashram,left for

Madras with his family.

A few years later,he came back to the ashram with his wife and two

children.He built a house

for himself on Pudupalayam Rangaswami Gounder's plot.At that time,i

was staying in big house

of Gounder but had my food with the Subramanyam family.Later

Subramanyam bought a house in

Sri Ramana nagar and shifted there.From then on i used to eat at

C.Somasundaram Pillai's

place.Somasundaram Pillai came from cuddalore and settled down in

Tiruvannamalai.A few years

later Subramanyam's wife passed away.After marrying off his

children,Ramani and Ramanan,

Subramanyam again served the ashram till his death.
