Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hari OM! Dear Ones, "Once Sri Chandrasekhara Saraswati Swami of KanchiMutt (Sri Periyava) had camped in North India. Thethen Prime Minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi, came to haveHis darshan. The Prime Minister of India placed a similar questionin front of Sri Periyava, "If you would pinpoint thepersons who, in the name of spirituality, lead thepeople in a wrong way I will take action againstthem." Sri Periyava laughed and said, "No! It shouldnot be handled in this manner. Those who approach suchfake swamis will themselves, after a time, understandtheir standard of maturity." Sri Periyava knew that this reply did not satisfy Smt.Indira Gandhi. Someone had offered a basket full ofmangoes to Periyava. It contained many unripe and afew ripe fruits. Many devotees waited outside for SriPeriyava's darshan. Sri Periyava instructed theattendants to bring a child from amongst thesedevotees. A child of about 5 years was brought to Him.Pointing to the basket Periyava smilingly said to thechild, "Take whatever you want." After a search thechild picked up a ripe fruit. Sri Periyava pointed out to Smt.Indira Gandhi who waswatching this, "Just as the way a child knows what isripe and what is unripe, so too would those who go outin search of Truth recognize a true Mahan at somepoint of their life."
