Seshadri Swamigal

[Guest guest]

Namasthe.

 

This is a copy and paste from Shiv_sena . From his Biography I learnt

the importance of Kamokaresheet Mnatra Japa which Swamygal said, is a sure fire

for burning the Karmas and Pujya Swamygal used to this Chant always, during his

satay at Kaanchi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seshadri Swamigal was born in the Kamakoti family that had been brought from

the banks of the Narmada and settled in Kanchi (one of the seven holy places

['Sapta Mokshapuri'] ) by Adi Sankara. He was born to his parents with the

blessings of Goddess Kamakshi. Even at the young age of 13 he had attained the

siddhi of leaving a locked room. Devas were visible to him.

He was forever going around Kamakshi temple (Kancheepuram) , chanting the

'Mookapancha stuti' that is filled with dispassion. Even as a young boy he drew

the Holy Mountain (even without having seen it) and worshipped it.

After his mother's death he moved from Kancheepuram to Tiruvannamalai.

 

The Swami would walk right through a marriage hall into the kitchen and empty

the vessel there. The shocked people would find a snake in the dish prepared.

The Swami would walk on the water of the pond near Ramanasramam. He would clap

his hands and a thousand 'Garuda pakshi' (the divine eagle) would appear! With a

clap of his hands thousand peacocks would appear! The Swami would enter a shop

and picking up the coins from the cash box, throw it all over. The shopkeeper

would be very happy, for, his business would boost up.

 

The Swami was usually found in the graveyard, 'Kambathu illaiyanar sannidhi' in

Annamalai temple or in Durgai amman temple. Somebody would offer the Swami a new

dhoti. Wearing it, he would go to the graveyard and give the new dhoti to the

keeper there in exchange for his dirty dhoti! He had given up food and water.

'unmatha, mooka, jadavatu,' (mad, dumb, inert) - explains Srimad Bhãgavatam of

the state of Jnanis.

 

Seshadri Swamigal was such a great Mahatma. He had also lived and attained

siddhi in Tiruvannamalai. Seshadri Swamigal had performed Giri Pradakshina

1,00,008 times!

 

Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi who never advocated any external spiritual practices

(like japa, dhyana) strongly recommended circumambulation of this Holy

Arunachala. Can then one speak on the glory of this Giri Pradakshina in mere

words? Many are the greatness of this Giri Pradakshina. No otherspiritual

practice is needed.

 

Once a young boy came in search of his mother who had not returned home after

her daily Giri Pradakshina. Seshadri Swamigal said to this boy that his mother

had become one with the Holy Arunachala and that she would not return home! Such

is the glory of this Mountain; such is the glory of this Kshetra; such is the

glory of these Mahatmas and Yogiramsuratkumar arrived here to crown it all!

 

God takes each unto Himself in different ways. Some incident or words sparks off

the spiritual quest in a Mahan and he does not stop until 'Realizing' the Truth.

We also come across lots of incidents/happening s in our lives but they do not

seem to bring about any transformation in us. This only goes to show that this

is only the Will of God.

 

 

 

With Warm Regards
