DISBELIEVERS OF SRI SWAMY

Till now we have seen the experiences of those who believed and followed sri swamy's direction. But now we will see some experience of those who disbelieved sri swamy and did not follow his direction and lost their treasure.

Goddati Seshaiah (Golagamudi) was suffering from ill health. He resorted to Sri Swamy. Sri Swamy said "Take the outer layer of the roots ofGuntakalagara plant and make them into small pills, by grinding and take the pills. You will be alright". He prepared the pills but while swallowing them he doubted in his heart "will it be cured with these pills?" outwardly he swallowed the pills. Next morning when he came for the darsan of Sri Swamy he said "Ayyaa it will not be cured with those pills, better you take medicine from a man from Nellore. Omniscient Swamy knew every feeling of every creatures in the Universe.

Velum Subrahmanyam Naidu (Nagulavellatur) writes like this "My wife's health was not good. I was greatly vexed with their treatment. I put forth my plight before Sri Swamy. Sri Swamy said, "You purchase the prasadam of Lord Ranganayakulu Swamy of Nellore for a quarter of a rupees for three days and give her to eat". As I was notj satisfied with this treatment, I was very much dejected in| spirits. Omniscient Swamy, who knew every feeling of every creature, repeated his advice thrice. He also said "if you do not give prasadam to her she will have to be in bed for two months".
"Inspite of Sri Swamy's sincere advice I have purchased the prasadam and gave it to her only for one time. I neglected the other two times. After two months she had the trouble and was in Madras hospital for two months. Inspite of their treatment and expenditure, her health did not improve.

V. Ramamurthy reports the experience of his brother's son like this. "For the first three issues, he had female children. Before the fourth delivery they came to Sri Swamy and requested to bless them with a male child at least in the fourth delivery. Sri Swamy ordered "You will get a male child if you perform three pradakshinas during midnight on three days in any temple". They thought it was a difficult job at midnight. In addition to that they thought that the sex of the child was already fixed as it was her ninth month. So they did not follow Sri Swamy's advice. Hence the fourth issue was also a female child. It brings no good for people when they do not have sraddha, even if the God grants them a boon.

Sri Swamy got a chit written for Vakkamma. In it he said "Vakkamma has to step up ninety nine doors. On hearing this, Vakkamma was depressed and grief stricken. She fell on the feet of Sri Swamy with tears and and begged "Swamy! if you do not like me, throw me into the forest as a musti plant. But I do not want to be reborn in human form". She did not leave the holy feet of Sri Swamy for two hours and m the mean time she washed Swamy's feet with her tears. Merciful Swamy said "She will not come again". Write with the "God promise". He gave her a chit to that effect.

One day Sri Swamy said and got a chit written "Vakkamma has got nine crowns". That means the nine fold Bhakthi will be available to Vakkamma.

Veluru Subramanyam accompanied Sri Swamy to Tiruvallur. At Tiruvallur Sri Swamy stood at a place and was silently rubbing his palm against a boulder and was examining them. After some time he pushed aside a one rupee coin with a little stick. Sri Swamy called him and gave that one rupee coin to Subrahmanyam and asked him to bum camphor to Sri Swamy with that one rupee. But for certain unknown reasons he did not carry out that order of Sri Swamy. He put that one rupee coin in his pocket and went to the temple and spent that one rupee for Tulasamma to purchase camphor and incense sticks. That evening Sri Swamy asked Subrahmanyam whether s he had burnt the camphor for that one rupee to the God. He j said aJie that he had burnt the camphor.

One night in his dream a huge ball of camphor was| burning and on seeing the huge flames he was terribly afraid and woke up, thinking that it was the result of a lie told to ] Sri Swamy. At once he went to Tiruvallur and burnt the camphor and begged pardon for his folly.

One day Sri Swamy said "are there any body who can live for five days with out any food". Rosi reddy said "Why should we search for others. I myself will go on fasting". He kept his promise with liquid diet. From that day on wards he went on complete fasting on Monday and Saturday and in the rest of the days he took only one minimum meal at lunch.
