In the 'early 1980's when H.H. Paramacharya of Kanchi went on a Pada Yatra, I had the opportunity to serve Him. Later, I was living in Tiruvannamalai and often sought the presence of H.H. Yogi Ramsuratkumar. Whenever I went to Kanchipuram for darshan of Paramacharya, He asked me whether I met 'Visirimattai Swamigal'. He usually called H.H. Yogi Ramsuratkumar 'Visirimattai Swamigal'. All the times I used to say "Yes", because whenever I went to Tiruvannamalai, I met Swamiji in His abode. After I replied "Yes", Paramacharya would close His eyes and remain silent for a few minutes. On the 1st December 1985, I went to Kanchipuram
to have the darshan of Paramacharya. At that time He ordered
me to go to Sri Ekambareswarar Temple in Kanchipuram to attend
two Vedic Homas and take the Homa prasad to Swamiji. According
to 'His Divine Order', I attended the Vedic Homas and took the
Homa Prasad for Swamij. I arrived with the prasad at Swamiji's
abode in Tiruvannamalai at 10 pm, but He was not there. He was
sitting inside the big Temple. When, I saw Him, I ran up to Him
and gave Him the Vedic Homa prasad and explained to Him about
this prasad. He immediately touched the prasad with His eyes,
kept the prasad on His hand for a few minutes, and then distributed
it to devotees. After 10 minutes, Swamiji got into a car and called me to accompany Him. He instructed the car driver to proceed to Kanchipuram. We arrived at Kanchipuram Sri Mutt at 4-30 in the evening. I ran into the Mutt and told Paramacharya's personal attendant that Swamiji had arrived. When Swamiji entered the darshan hall, Paramacharya got up and came close to Him and stood in front of Him. They looked at each other and raised their arms, palms facing out. They stood like that for a few minutes. At that time there were about 20 devotees present, who were fortunate enough to witness the Holy Meeting of these TWO GREAT SAINTS OF THIS KALIYUGA. Paramacharya told the devotees present that Swamiji is "A DESCENDANT OF THE SUN". OM SRI RAM JAI RAM JAI JAI RAM ! |
