The Invisible saviour

V. Raghotaman

It all happened one day in the hot month of September 1986. My wife

Radha and I were returning from Varanasi to Secunderabad. The train

arrived at Secunderabad R.S. late by 4 hours. We were new to

Secunderabad. Unfortunately we were travelling by a useless cycle

rickshaw driven by a drunkard. We were in search of the home of my

wife's sister Smt. Saraswathi Venkataraman. In Secunderabad, house

numbers don't exist in any serial order. We had crossed without

knowing the house at New Boilguda. We were circling and circling

uselessly much to the disgust of the driver. The sun was very hot. It

was 1 p.m. Still we couldn't locate our destination. We became dead-

tired and at that desperate moment we thought of the sage of Kanchi

Paramacharyal, to guide and protect us. Oh! what a great change! A

Tamil sumangali, by name Seethalkshmi Subarmaniam, as I learnt later,

stood before us and enquired about our plight. She look us to her

home which was very near, and gave us shelter and water and later

lunch also. We were relived from the clutches of the drunken driver

also. We found solace in her house. There was a gentle drizzle

outside to cool the day. Then I returned to locate my sister-in-law's

house by walk and found it out. She came with me and took us to her

house. The very thought of our sage saves us from troubles. It is a

great fortune of our time that He lives with us. We have to blame

ourselves if we do not avail ourselves fully of His divine presence.
