Experience with Maha periyava

My Personal Experience which happened two years back

———————————————————————————

Originally I was a strict Shri Vaishnavite (Iyengar) from Srirangam, slowly I came to know about Mahaperiyavaa, started listening to all the devotees experiences in internet and he slowly attracted me and I became a complete Mahaperiyavaa devotee afterwards.

I wanted to narrate an incident (accident) happened two years back when I was in North Carolina. I lived in an Apartment without any room mates. That was my last day in that Apartment as I got project in a different state and had to relocate. I went to downtown to surrender my modem and when I came back home, there was a big shock for me… YES, my Apartment was in a major fire. No one informed me about it and by the time when I came back it was already one hour over.

I am stopped at the entrance by authorities and no one is allowed to enter. Large fire teams came to stop the fire, they fight for two hours and then stopped it.

So totally the FIRE WAS ON FOR THREE HOURS……

Imagine my situation outside – I am crying outside literally looking at my house for two hours. My Passport ,Visa and original academic mark sheets are inside.. what will I do?? where will I go??? whom will I avail for help???

I cried to Mahaperiyavaa to help save my file which has passport ,visa documents, original marksheets, etc..

YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE THIS- After the fire is stopped, I cried and explained my situation to the authorities and told them that I want to get inside my house to see what happened to my documents. The stair case is burnt and so many fumes in my house coming out… one officer helped me, escorted me to get inside my house and my balcony,living room, bathroom, bedroom everything is badly affected.. 

But in my Puja room inside the kitchen ( I allocated one wardrobe of kitchen as my puja room and do daily prayers to Mahaperiyavaa and Anjaneyar and to my Ranganathar).. Mahaperiyavaa is smiling at me.. YES, nothing happened to the puja Room.. I was very very happy.. went in and grabbed the photos quickly and cried loudly.. the officer couldn’t understand what I am doing..

Then I rushed in to the room where i kept my file and officer accompanied me. YES-MY FILE IS VERY SAFE..NOT EVEN A SMALL ASH FELL ON IT.. I GRABBED THAT QUICKLY AND CRIED VERY LOUDLY… MAHAPERIYAVAAAA.. MAHAPERIYAVAAAAAAAAAA….

Officer asked me to immedieately go out and I did and the moment after I came out, the stair case also broke down…

what can you tell about Mahaperiyavaa’s karunyam to a very small devotee like me who did nothing to him—???

I am really feeling why I am not born in his time so that I could have done kainkaryams to him and be with him itself through out my life time..
