Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Even today the Most talked about Festival in Venkatagiri is the " Poleramma Jathara " where the Godess of the town - Poleramma is taken out in a Procession throughout the Village and then there is a Big Pooja in the Temple. This is famous till date. When Our Bhagawan came in the early 60's to Venkatagiri, there were hardly a Few devotees and people who used to come and see Swami, Once Bhagawan came the day before the Poleramma Festival,when The Procession stopped at the palace, Everybody was surprised to see Swami come out and then to the astonishment of everyone Swami gave a Full 10 minutes of the History,incidents and everything connected with the Goddess, Swami gave such Wonderful Speech that even the oldest people in the Village who were well versed with the Goddess's history were dumbfounded and staring blankly, Venkatagiri got the First instance of Bhagawan's Divinity, the Next day there was the Traditional " Anna Dhanam " or Poor Feeding, Overnight News of Bhagawan's wonderful Discourse had spread and at least three times the expected number of people turned up to see Swami and hear Swami's Divine words, Halfway through the Anna Dhanam food was over and the concerned people were getting jittery, Swami sensed the Mood and chided everybody by saying that " Meeru tapulu chestaru, kani na dhagariki vachestaru, Swami anni chusukovali meaning " You commit the Mistakes and you come to Me to solve them, Swami has to look after everything " Swami went to the Kitchen where the " Sambar Rice was made and took a sample and tasted it and said " Bagunadhi, andhariki Pettu " meaning " Very tasty, serve to all " , Serve to all, but where was the Food, Swami had almost tasted the Last Morsel, Before Cook could ask Swami anything another person had dipped the plate in the Container and a whole plate of Sambhar rice miraculously appeared, The Vessel became a Bottomless Pit, Every single person was fed, Word Spread and Venkatagiri was never the same again, Even today the very famous Poleramma Procession is stopped only once before the Palace of the Raja of Venkatagiri and before Bhagawan's Photograph. Leela's of Bhagawan are great, This leela transformed a Village and the surroundings and people flocked to hear and see Swami like never before.
