I have been fortunate.....

God has been kind to me....I could visit Tirchendur twice last month...once with Indhu, Ramji and Arjun on 16 October, 2007 and again on 26 October, 2007, with Sheila, Maya, Ashwin, Mrs & Mr. Ramasamy....on both the occasions I had fantastic dharshans of Sri Subrmania Swamy...on 16 we had abhishekam....it was indeed the grace of God that Arjun did not bother us much (it appears that ARJUN himself is a grace of God, especially indicated by his date of birth, 27 September, and his star, Visakam)...he appeared to be in peace with Lord Subramanya....only towards the end of the Abhishekam he became a little restless....over all both the visits gave me internal peace.

Another visit that I cannot forget during the period is the one to Ayikudi on 27 October, 2007. Ayikudi Balasubramania Swamy happens to be the Kuladeivam of Mr. Ramaswamy; we had abhishekam and a quiet dharshan of Balasubramania Swamy...the smiling deity will always be in our hearts.....the "padi payasam" that is given to people on the banks of the river next to the temple by pouring the payasam (prasadam) on the steps (padi) is unique to this place...I cannot, however, understand the reason for this.....

It was very nice of Shri S. Ramakrishnan to have come all the way to the Balasubramania Swamy temple to meet me....I am fortunate that I met him and have his love and affection....I see GOD in him....on his invitation we visited Amarseva Sangam...and as usual, Shri Ramakrishnan has been an excellent host, providing all of us tasty Lunch....I missed Shri Sankara Raman who had to attend to some other meeting elsewhere...but his absence was more than compensated by Dr. Sumathi, his sister....I salute all the three, Shri Ramakrishnan, Shri Sankara Raman and Dr. Sumathi, for being so kind to me and those who visited Amarseva Sangam along with me on 27 Ocotber 2007....it is (Bala) Subramania Swamy's will that I had to meet them...hopefully one day I will come to know why HE willed so!!!!

Is a simple "THANKS" to HIM is enough for ensuring that Maya's wedding went off well .....for blessing them .....for blessing other members of the family mentioned above.....Lord Subramanya Swamy please GUIDE me.
