RESPONDS TO EVERY SINCERE CALL
The word "God" does not denote any physical
form or a current of electricity nor anything. It is a thing beyond the
perception of our limitted sense organs, or the present day utmost
super sensitive instruments. It is the only thing till now in the world
which is not fully spoken of or written about. But the Rishees, who
achieved oneness with god, had referred it with some adjectives of its
own kind. God is omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent. That means
God
exists every where - that means every thing in this universe is god
himself. God knows every
thing and can do any thing
Man by his own effort obtains the grace of Mahatmas and with their grace they attain union with god. Such people are called Atmagnanis (realised souls or perfected beings) sidda purusha. Among the Sidda purushas some are endowed with certain welfare work on the earth. So even though they are seemingly in the human frame they possess some occult powers. Whereever they may be, at every minute, these satpurushas will be knowing every thing going on in the universe. They are also capable of protecting their devotees when they are approached for help in the hour of crisis. We find the top most miracles (leelas) of this kind in Saileelamrutham. Here Bhagavan Sri Venkaiah swamy who is the Avatar of Sainath also saves his devotees by responding to every call of his devotees. Let us see some instances.
Barigala Nagaiah was in the service of Sri Swamy from a long time. One day he was suffering with a terrible and unbearable pain under the right ribs. He was twisting and wriggling with great pain. His friends requested him to come to the doctor. He said that his only doctor was Sri Swamy and refused to go elsewhere. Inspite of Swamy's nama smarana there was no relief. It was unbearable "what Swamy, in this Kaliyuga, did you leave the earth or have forgotten me?" with great distress and agony he shed tearwith a loud yell. At once the pain was removed. Sri Swamy gave him a dream vision and said "I did not go anywhere. I am always after you."
One day Sri Swamy put the tip of his index finger on his left palm and said " There is a thorn prick ayya. " Really there was no thorn prick to Swamy. Devotees could not understand why Sri Swamy said like that. After an hour they came to know that Korrakuti Bujjaiah garu who was at a distance of half a mile from Sri Swamy had been stung by a scorpion in his palm. Exactly at the same time Sri Swamy referred to the thorn prick. But mysteriously Bujjaiah's pain was relieved as soon as he prayed Sri Swamy, without applying any medicine or Mantra. One day Chetlaiah had a scorpion sting in his leg while he was ploughing his field. At once he caught hold of his foot and cried " Om gurudeva, Om gurudeva, om gurudeva" He got rid of his pain without the application of any medicine or manthra.
One day Rosireddy was at Kalichedu in the service of Sn Swamy. He had a pain in his eye due to operation. Sri Swamy ordered him in writting "Ayya you must go to your house immediately". If forty lakhs are paid "Rama Lakshmanas" will save you on the way. "Ammanni" will protect you at your village. Tomorrow morning you may go and return even without telling me again". When he was going home, he was walking on the Railway platform of Rajampet. He could not clearly see the way due to the focus of the light in the Railway station. So he slipped down from the platform and fell on the railway line at a depth of four feet. But to the utter surprise of the other passengers he was not hurt even a little. During his stay in his village, the village deity Yellamma appeared in his dream all the four days. As he was saved on the way, he could understand Swamy's * words. "You will be protected by Rama".
The Karanam of Ananthasagaram lost the first two issues. When his wife was pregnant for the third time, they came for the blessings of Sri Swamy. Sri Swamy assured him "the child will live. But she will meet with a danger in the third year". When the baby was three years old it slipped and fell down from the bullock cart and the wheel of the cart ran over her head. But the little child was safe, due to the blessings of Sri Swamy.
Tupili Venkaiah used to wash the clothes of Sri Swamy. He used to wash his clothes with great devotion. In 1981, during summer he woke up at midnight and could not sleep on his bed. To light his beedi at the lamp, he went into his house. He saw in the darkness a man sitting in the centre of the house. He cried aloud in fear. The thief also cried in fear. With this, all the people rushed there with torch lights etc. They found the man sitting in the middle of the house and all the clothes and utensils and other articles were spread around him. Without any effort they captured him and tied him to the pole. For curiosity sake they asked him why he did not run away and escape. He told like this:- "While I was entering the house some body knocked on my back and I became helpless. Some how I bundled the things in a blanket. But some invisible voice commanded me to keep all the things in their original place. I could not but obey the "voice" in fear. As I could not move I kept them like this. My eyes lost their sight and my legs their stamina. Other wise even if all of you come together you would have been easily over powered with one or two blows with this bamboo stick.
The she buffalo of Goddati Seshaiah of Golagamudi village was suffering a lot with some disease and it was in crises. He rushed to Sri Swamy in great haste. But Sri Swamy was drinking his gruel. So the servants did not allow him to go near Sri Swamy and represent his problem to swamy. But Seshaiah was in a great anxiety. At once Sri Swamy looked at him and said "Ayyo! by the time you go home, your buffalo would be alright". To his utter surprise the crises of the buffalo was cleared in a wink of a time and it was eating grass by the time he went home.
One day Makani Venkata Rao requested Sri Swamy's blessings for going to Madras. Generally Swamy says "Let "im go and come or. Alright, go and come happily." But this oay, Swamy said "You will be saved by Kanchi Varadarajah Swamy and Tiruvalluru Veera Raghava Swamy. You can go." At Madras Venkata Rao, while getting into a packed city bus, Gaught hold of the handle with one hand and placed his left foot on the foot board. But, before he could put his right foot, the bus picked up speed and he was hanging from the bus and his foot was dragging along the road. Every body thought that he would fall down and die. There was a great havoc in the bus. But the driver could not hear the shouts from behind, as the bus was fully packed, Venkata Rao lost hope. By the grace of Sri Swamy the bus was stopped on its own accord due to the burst of a tire. All the passengers said that if the tire did not burst in time he would have surely died. He was very very lucky. Venkaia Rao then understood the meaning of Sri Swamy's special blessings at Golagamudi while he was starting to Madras.
A'senior servant of Swamy, Jayaramaraju narrated his own experience to Velum Subrahmanyam like this. "One day I was taking my bullocks to the forest for grazing".
Swamy:- Ayya! You drive the bullocks into the forest and come here.
Jayaramaraju:- How can I come Swamy? There is no one to look after the bullocks in the forest.
Swamy:- You need not worry about them. Please come back. "With full confidence in Sri Swamy, I came back and sat with Swamy. After some time, with out any reason, Sri Swamy picked up a stick and jumped up and ran crying "Dhey, dhey, dhey". Actually there was nothing near by, for him to drive away. Sri Swamy came back and sat quite before his fire. I dared to ask Swamy "When there is nothing here. Whom are you driving away Swamy!"
Swamy:- Your bull Ayya.
Swamy gave me no other details regarding my bull. I took it for his rare flashes of anger which we used to notice now and then.
The next day the cowherd boy's narrated like this.
Boys:- Ayya! The thumb impressions Swamy: is a great dare devil. Yesterday a tiger leaped on your bull. 'The thumb impressions Swamy jumped on the tiger with a stick and drove it away. Other wise your bull would have been killed Yesterday". Then I under stood the reason for Swamy's rare flash of anger and jumping with a stick on .the previous day.
Note:- In those days Swamy used to put his thumb impressions on papers while sitting before his sacred fire. This Jayaramaraju had a good number of such experiences with Swamy. That is why this man is dedicated himself in .the service of Sri Swamy.
One day the son ofSubbarao (Karanam - Golagamudi) was walking along the road al Nellore with his friends. A tractor knocked him from behind. The front wheel ran on his stomach. The back wheel touched him and stopped. One of his ribs was broken. He was admitted in Govt. Hospital. The doctors said that he could walk only after three months. His friend also fell under the same tractor, but escaped with some minor wounds and he was alright. At that time Sri Swamy's shouting at Golagamudi. "Accident, accident, danger, danger - light the oil lamp - light the oil lamp". During day time he got the oil lamps burning. The devotees could not understand the strange behaviour of Sri Swamy. The next morning that accident of Karanam Subbarao's son came to light. Sri Swamy was told about the accident. Sri Swamy said "He will be alright with in a fortnight. God saved him." He got these words written on a piece of paper and sent it along with swamy's cod piece to be spread on his bed and Udhi for his use. Here the unusual happening is -
1. The back wheel did not run on him.
2. The doctors expected his recovery after three months, but he walked after a fortnight with the blessings of Sri Swamy. ?
One day Sri Swamy and his party went to Tirupathi. In the return journey no body noticed that Rosi Reddy was not in the train. Sri Swamy reached Kalichedu along with his party without Rosi Reddy. Rosi reddy had no money with him for his fares. But by the next train he came without purchasing a ticket. Rosi Reddy says.
"Some how I could reach Gudur by train". How am I to reach Kalichedu from Gudur". Rosi reddy was suffering with the mental worry. Then an unknown old lady offered him a rupee note and plantains in a plate and requested Rosi reddy "Swamy I am a poor old woman. Kindly accept this little offering." He at once understood this as an instigation of Sri Swamy and accepted the offering. He used that one rupee for bus fare and reached Kalichedu.
Velum Srihari naidu of Talupur used to take Swamy in his bullock cart wherever Sri Swamy wanted to go. His wife went to Sri Swamy and offered her pranamams. Sri Swamy said "Amma! you have a danger to your Pasupu Kumkum. Tiruvalluru Veera Raghava Swamy will save you from it. That night Sri Swamy went to their house and lit his sacred fire. Next morning he left for a Mica Mine, in the neighbourhood. Srihari Naidu went near the bull to give it fodder as usual. Usually it is a soft natured bull. But on that day it thrusted its horns between his hip joint and threw him away. The skin was torn up to his naval. The wound was profusely bleeding. He was taken to the Gudur hospital. Simply by the grace of Sri Swamy his life was saved. Otherwise it would have been a spot death. Even to day with, greatest reverence he extends his cooperation to the activities of Sri Swamy's Ashramam.
Vallapureddy Audinaraya Reddy was once admitted in the American hospital, Nellore as he was suffering from tuberculosis. His condition was hopeless. The doctors gave up hope. All his relatives were visiting him to have the last looks. His mother had left home long ago and was dedicated in the service of Sri Swamy for the last ten years. Every body forced her to go and see her own only son for the last looks. Even though she was not willing to leave Swamy's blessed presence, at the compulsion of others, she put forth the proposal for the consideration of Swamy. Sri Swamy said Amma! do not worry, he will be alright with in a few days. You need not go". Due to the blessings of Sri Swamy, Reddy garu escaped death and recovered well with in a few days. Later on he got married and got children also.
Till then Audi Narayana Reddy had little regard towards Sri Swamy. He used to laugh at the devotion of his mother who was in the service of Sri Swamy. With this personal experience, he was transformed into a strong devotee of Sri Swamy. In course of time this Audi Narayana Reddy met the cost of the construction of the Samadhi mandhir, single handed in 1981 (nearly one lakh rupees.)
Karanam Subbarao of Golagamudi reports like this. Once a certain Govt. employee had some allegations levelled against him in the Govt. When the allegation were proved the district collector ordered his suspension. That employee visited Sri Swamy at Golagamudi (in his difficulties) and begged for his blessings. As soon as he came Sri Swamy said "Ayya! he has a burden on his head weight equal to, a dhoby's bundle. If he is here we will be put to a loss of a paisa. So let him go away at once. When he did not move. Swamy repeated his order and sent him away. After an hour, he again came to Swamy and begged "Swamy, if you do not show mercy on me, what will be my plight? "Ayya! give your address on a piece of paper. We will send the paper" said Swamy. He did accordingly. By the grace of Sri Swamy he escaped suspension and got a simple punishment of transfer only.
K. Bujjaiah was vexed and upset with court cases. He came and stood at a distance with disgusted mind. At once Sri Swamy assured him "Ayya! don't keep any thing in the mind. You go straight to your house. I will look after every thing". By the grace of Sri Swamy with in few months all his | problems melted away like the mist in the sunshine.
Sri Swamy used to give different duties to
different servants. They cannot exchange their duties without the
permission of Sri Swamy. Supply of fire wood
to the sacred fire was the duty of Y. Ramanaiah. One day early in the
morning Sri Swamy called Ramanaiah and told him "Ayya! to day you stay
here and look after the supply of water and fire, here". He thought
that Sri Swamy had changed his duty. After some time he ignored Sri
Swamy's words and climbed a tree to cut down the branches for fire
wood. While falling down from the tree, a branch hit him on the chest
and he fell down on the ground. His collar bone was fractured. But by
the grace of Sri Swamy he did not fall on a big boulder which was at a
distance of four inches from his head. If his head was to hit against
the rock he would have died on the spot. Every body thought that the
accident was purely due to his negligence of Sri Swamy's advise and it
was a punishment. Ramanaiah informed Sri Swamy about his sad plight.
Sri Swamy said "Ayya the hospital is your shelter" and gave a chit to
that effect. He was admitted in the Govt. hospital and was cured
gradually. Every body realised that, it was a punishment for neglecting
the advise of Sri Swamy and it was a lesson to all.
