He spent some time with Amma. Later on Amma said that this "mad man" was a great siddha and only a jeevanmukta would understand his "mad behaviour". He was Nayanar Swami. Meenakshi temple incident ------------------------- Amma was touring South India with her contingent of devotees. They visited the famed Meenakshi temple (actually this temple is a Siva temple called Halasyanatha/Sundereshwar, but the Mother has upstaged the Divine Father:-)). When the evening arathi/pooja was going on suddenly Amma went into a trance and I think she was shaking or even dancing slightly...Amma went into samadhi...the priest understood that Amma herself was a great saint and came to do pooja around Amma (perhaps you will appreciate this better as priests are normally forbidden to do this and it would take a leap of faith for a priest to do this). This was remarkable as Meenakshi at the temple and Amma were offered pooja at the same time, signfying the one-ness/non- difference of the two. Dear yogaman ~ thank you for sharing these two marvelous stories. You paint beautiful pictures of Amma's Love and Oneness with the Supreme.
