 Experiences with Maha Periyava: Periyava has always been residing in our house

"I want to perform panchayatana puja", my father prayed to Him in His Vishnupuram camp. Since the pooja murtis (images) such as Salagramam, Banam, and Spatikam were not available then, the anugraham (blessing) to send them after reaching Kumbakonam was given.

When they reached Kumbakonam, the pooja murtis were given to a sippanti (attendant) with orders to deliver them to Vishnupuram.

"In whose house should I deliver?"

"Deliver it to the gruham (house) where I am present!"

The sippanti had climbed up and down the steps of each house in the Vishnupura Agraharam but could not find out the location of the house. As he came to our house and peeped in, he sat on the thinnai (raised portico) with fullness of heart.

My father who came out asked him, "enna samacharam (what is the news)?"

"Periyava asked this puja box to be delivered to you."

"To me?"

"Yes, without specifying the house, he asked me to deliver it in the house where He was present. I saw Periyava's portrait, clearly visible before the eyes, in the sloped front courtyard. Since He is present here, I understood that He wanted me to deliver it to this house. Here is the pooja box."

We never had any doubt that Periyava has always been residing in our house!!!
