Devotee's Experience Paramacharya and my father :
Paramacharya called 4/400 people @machilipatnam. My father was one of the four. Interestingly all these 4 people learnt Vedas regularly and have Devatarchana & do rudrabhishekam. H.H. gave Mantorpadesa to my father and gave a pomegranate. As time passed by my father grew closer to Paramacharya, acharya told him to sit close to his feet, holding his Padukas and more.
Naming : I was born. My relatives were planning differnt words to give a me a name. But it didn't happen due to some or other hurdle. My father then felt he should infrom Paramacharya that he was blessed with a child. Paramacharya asked the names planned asked him to come in the evening. My father met Paramacharya along the farms, moving in Palanquin, it was Sandhya time. Paramacharya opened the Palanquin, looked at my father and reminded my father that "this child is a girl and her name is Gomata". And I was named Gomata. My grandfather added his name Lakhsmi in school registers but it is not there in my name originally
Guru : It is obvious to me since birth, there will be hindrances and hurdles and Guru walks into life , .with a definition of me which is beyond human comprehension ! Now, I don't make any major decision without the Guru blessing. Even if I became casual at times of them, Gurus made sure I don't take it easy. It is easier to keep them as my faith resource. Thinking in peace , we know even the greatest of the kings put themselves in front of Gurus/Elders. Who are we , the small ?? I may fail in life in the routine ways in the eyes of anyone, but I need this Supreme Blessing of that pure energy of the Guru , to do some good out of this life and to be useful for many the right way. It is my prayer.....
Who I am , the Guru seems to know more than any Human Mind. This is proven time and again.
Thankful to friends like Dr.Kanakadurga for reminding this umblical connection with Kamakoti Peetham.
