Reminiscences of Shri Kunju Swamigal - 45

[Guest guest]

A devotee went to Court claiming the property of the ashram.He tried

hard to drag Sri Bhagvan

Himself to the court as the defendant.Following the legal process,a

summons was also served

on Sri Bhagvan to appear in court.Devotees felt very sad at this.

At this time,divine forces began to work through Grant Duff,a great

devotee of Sri Bhagvan,

who was at the time in Ceylon.When he heard the news he was

shocked."What? dragging Sri

Bhagvan to court! This must be Satan's plot.This must be foiled." He

sent a telegram to

Lord Erskine,Governor of Madras."Please don't drag Sri Bhagvan to

court.A commission can

examine Him in the ashram itself." An order to this effect was sent

to the court concerned,

and a copy of it was sent to the ashram.

The letter came to Tiruvannamalai post office the day before the

trial.Ramaswamy Pillai used

to fetch the mail in a leather pouch.When he emptied the contents of

the pouch,everyone

enxiously looked for the letter from the government.There was

none.All were disappointed.

That night devotees were deeply wooried.When they were talking among

themselves in the

presence of Sri Bhagvan,Ramaswami Pillai put his hand into the

leather pouch casually.Lo!

His hand felt a big envelope.It was the letter from the government.He

took it out.It had got

struck to the pouch.It was a marvel.The commission met Sri Bhagvan at

the ashram.The whole

enquiry fizzled out.

 

in Sri Bhagvan,
