My experience with Paramacharya as a devotee

R.Krishnan, I D.A.S.(Retd.)

 

On 10.10.57, I was to leave for Pune to join duty in Defence

Accounts Department as an Upper Division Clerk. It was by chance I

came to know that Paramacharya was camping at Ramakrishnapuram in

west Mambalam. I was dressed in pant and shirt. I just took a chance

and on 9.10.57 I went for darshan. I removed my shirt and

did 'Pranam'. I proceeded to Pune with His blessings. Now I have

retired as a Class I Officer.

 

During 1968 my sister was in a very serious condition and had been

admitted in the Tanjore Medical Hospital. On my way back from

Tanjore to Pune I went to have the darshan of Paramacharya who was

observing silence. Through His assistants I handed over some fruits

as homage and told Him about my sister's plight. Paramacharya took

one orange and asked me to give it to my sister. When I told him

that I was not going back to Tanjore He asked me to make juice of

the orange and drink it for the welfare of my sister. On reaching

Pune I got a letter saying my sister was better and was being

discharged from the hospital. This was a surprise as on the day I

left Tanjore, the doctors never gave any hope about her life.

 

In 1985 when I was entering my 50th year, I had the darshan of

Paramacharya along with my wife and my mother-in-law. My wife's

grandfather, Navaneetham Sarangapani Iyengar, Advocate of

Kalyanapuram was a trusted devotee of Paramacharya in Kumbhakonam

Matha in the 20's. When my wife just mentioned his name, there was a

pause. Then to our surprise He called her and narrated many

instances involving Sarangapani Iyengar and enquired about everyone

and blessed us. This really is a surprise as Paramacharya has

thousands of devotees and to remember one after a lapse of 50 years

is something hard to believe.
