Guest guest Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 Namasthe. It is always a delight to know the instances and happenings during the life of our great masters and one instance during the life of Maha Periyavaal of Kaanchi is narrated below. In the Kanchi Mutt generally there would be dedicated cook for the Biksha of each of the the Acharyal. The cook while serving the Maha Swamy noted one day that the Acharyal seemed to like a variety of Spinach and he decided on the next day to serve the Maha Swamy, a portion more than what he had served on the previous day. Maha Swamy consumed this extra portion also. Encouraged by the events, on the third day the cook, prepared a substantial quantity of the spinach and kept it before Swamy for Bhiksha. Noting this, Maha Swamy immediately ordered for big ball of fresh Cow dung and he mixed it with rice and ate it without any resevation, leaving the entire spinach. The news spread in the Mutt and that is how we know it. This clearly demonstrates how our masters have mastered the sense of taste. There are other instances also involing control of smell,touch etc Regards Ganapathy = = Vijaya ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
