ATCHAYA PAATTHIRAM

He was with Gurunathar since swami established Thapovanam ashramam. Gurunathar used to conduct classes of Vedhantha vicharam with him. He had the liberty of differing with Gurunathar and telling him that he differs. He had two daughters and a son. He is a man of very moderate income which was sufficient to run the family. His first daughter attained the age of marriage and he was worried about how he is going to conduct the marriage with his meagre income. His son has just started earning. He has no wealthy relatives who can be approached for financial assistance.

He prayed Gurunathar and the life meandered on. Meanwhile a good alliance came for his first daughter and the marriage was fixed. Though the groom’s side did not demand much he felt that he must atleast spend for the necessities. So he approached his brother in law, with whom he did not have any financial dealings till then, and he agreed to take care of the marriage expenses. Satisfied he returned home and now he has to take care of the feeding expenses. He met with a marriage contractor who after checking with the devotee about the number of persons who will be there for breakfast, lunch and dinner for three days and demanded a sum of Rs.33,000/- for the entire marriage. As the amount quoted seemed reasonable the devotee accepted and the marriage preparations were going on. The D Day arrived and the marriage including the kattu saadha koodai went on well. All those invited and those who heard about the marriage attended it and the crowd was more than double of what was expected. The marriage hall was deserted excepting the girl’s father, brother and very very close relatives. The amount has to be settled for the marriage contractor. The devotee was worried how much he will bill, because of the crowd was more than what the cook was told originally. The contractor came and submitted the bill. The bill was for Rs.33,000/-. The devotee was astonished. He asked the contractor why for which the contractor replied that was the original amount accepted by both of them. The devotee said to the contractor “ your bill should have been more. The number of persons who ate were more than double than what i told you at the time of booking. You must have incurred more expenditure atleast on groceries. So recalculate and submit the correct bill”. The contractor replied “ Yes. What you are telling you correct. There are more number of people than expected. But you must know one thing. Before started cooking i prayed to the Gurunathar whose photo you kept at the stage and started cooking. Believe me i have not spent an even a naya paise more than my original purchase and because of Gurunathar’s blessings i am able to serve to all those who came without anybody complaining. I cooked only for the number of people we originally agreed upon and inever increased the quantity nor compromised on the quality. That is why i have submitted the bill for the originally agreed amount and not more because i have not spent anything more than the original estimate.
