OHM GURUBYO NAMAHA

RADHAVUKKU KALYANAM

Seshu Iyer was residing in Thapovanam along with his wife, sons and daughters Radha and Rukmani. The girls used to play inside thapovanam and at times Gurunathar will watch them playing. The girls use to play a game asking some one to sit in the middle and the other girls will go round and round singing songs. One day all the girls were playing such a game with Radha in the middle with Gurunathar watching and enjoying the girls singing. After some time Gurunathar stood up and joined the girls going round with Radha in the Middle. Suddenly Gurunathar started chanting Radhavukku Kalyanam Radhavukku kalyanam while dancing around Radha. The others girls took the cue from Gurunathar and started chanting the same. Radha asked Gurunathar whether Radha Kalyanam is going to be celebrated in Thapovanam and when it was going to happen. Gurunathar with his usual smile replied “ Yes. Radha Kalyanam nadakkaporathu but Thapovanathila illa”. Radha caught the drift of what Gurunathar was saying and told Gurunathar  that she was not inclined for marriage and stop ridiculing her . Gurunathar simply smiled at her and Radha left for home.

Seshu Iyer has an elder  brother Rajamani who was living in Kerala. Rajamani’s daughter gave birth to a male child. While conveying the news Rajamani asked Seshu Iyer to bring Radha also to Kerala while he is coming to see the child. Seshu Iyer sought the blessings of Gurunathar. Gurunathar blessed all in the family including the new born and wished them safe journey. Seshu Iyer along with his wife and Radha reached Kerala. After a week Seshu Iyer wanted to return back to Thapovanam and sought his elder’s permission. While giving permission Rajamani wanted Radha to stay back for a month. Seshu Iyer agreed and left for thapovanam with his wife.

Rajamani knows astrology and was doing it as a service to his friends circle only. One day one such friend visited Rajamani and handed over his son’s horoscope. He requested Rajamani  to look for a suitable bride for his son who is well employed and left.  One day while cleaning the loft Rajmani found out a note book containing horoscope of Radha. Curiosity getting better of him he matched the horoscope of Radha and his friend’s son and found that they were matching perfectly. Co incidently his friend also visited him on the very next day. Rajamani checked with his friend whether he is agreeable for Radha being the bride for which the friend gave affirmative answer. Then Rajamani told him that he will consult his brother and come back. Seshu Iyer was asked to come to Kerala and the proposal was put forth to him. Seshu Iyer who did’nt expect this told his brother that Seshu Iyer is not in a position to conduct the marriage as he did not have sufficient funds. After prolonged discussion Seshu Iyer told his brother that he will consult Gurunathar and write to him and returned back to Thapovanam. On hearing this Gurunathar blessed them both and asked Seshu Iyer to proceed with marriage arrangements. Gurunathar asked Radha “ what is this? The other day you told me not to ridicule you and now you are coming to me with a marriage proposal for which Radha replied A” Swami if you will it to happen who can stop that?”.  With the blessings of Gurunathar the marriage was conducted well and the couple are now doing well and leading a contented life.
