An experience with the Paramacharya

R. Pattabhiraman

It was in the year 1943-44. The Acharya was on his way to attend

Mahakam at Kumbakonam. He was staying for a few days in the house of

Sri Sundaram Iyer, Retired Judge, near Salem.

 

An idea struck me. One morning I prostrated before the Acharya and

told him that my wife Bhagyalakshmi was suffering from Sanka Dosha

and Putra Dosha and it would be cured if he gave her a Raksha. The

Acharya gave some instruction to a person standing nearby. He took

me in and gave the measurements for preparing the golden plate. The

same evening I submitted the golden plate to the person in the

presence of the Acharya. I was told that I would here from them

later on.

 

It was in the month of Adi. I got a letter from the Acharya that I

should go over to Thirukarukavur in Tanjore District to get the

Raksha. I started in the evening and arrived at Thirukarukavur next

morning. The Acharya was informed of my arrival. The Acharya gave

instruction to look after my comforts. I was quite at home there.

During my very short stay in the Matham, I happened to witness the

Acharya giving lessons to his disciples in Sanskrit.

 

After receiving the Raksha I got the blessing of the Acharya and

came home. My wife was wearing the Raksha in her Thirumangalyam

Saradu till her death in 1985.

 

During the next delivery I just removed the Raksha lest it should be

polluted. Immediately my wife fell ill. I tied it again and she

became alright next day.
