OM SHRI GURUBYO NAMAHA

BHAVAROGA VAIDHYAN

Smt Kalyani Marghabandu was the poorvasrama sister of Guruji Swami Haridoss Giri. She was blessed to be with Gurunathar since her childhood and had lots and lots of experiences. One such experience she told me and I am narrating here from my memory Any wrong information is because of my absentmindedness and not the mistake any one else.

In the street, where Kalyani mami is residing, there was a woman living with her two small kids. She was very poor and eking her living by making appalams and selling it. Kalyani mami is a regular visitor to Thapovanam and whenever she visits she used to take with her as many people as possible to have the dharshan of Gurunathar both when he was with his sthoola sareeraa and after his attaining his Samadhi. This lady has also requested mami to take her to thapovanam which mami has also promised.

One fine morning she met and requested mami to take her immediately to thapovanam. Mami who just returned from Thapovanam told the lady that mami will be visiting thapovanam in another fortnight and will take the ladyto thapovanam  at that time. But the lady was adamant. Then mami enquired the reason for adamancy. The lady replied that she had pain in stomach and went to hospital for check up. She was diagnosed as a cancer patient and the cancer was at a very advanced stage. She has only a fortnight to live. Hence the lady wants to have the dharshan of swami before her death so that she wont have any further birth. Mami was shocked and told the lady. OK take it from me that you will like and i will take you to thapovanam within a fortnight. After seeing off the lady   Mami went to the Pooja room and took the pictures of Gurunathar and Guruji and turned them back and laid it down facing downwards telling them that mami wont look at their faces till the lady’s ills were mitigated.  Let us stop here for a while  and go back some years back.

As told earlier, Mami was blessed to be with Gurunathar since her childhood. Gurunathar was staying in Siddhilingamadam (A place where Gurunathar stayed before his coming to Thapovanam also near Tirukoilur). On one such day Gurunathar called mami to his room. There mami observed a bag  of Vibhuthi put in. Gurunathar asked mami to perform vibhuthi abhishekam on him then and there. Mami a person, like Guruji, who never questions Gurunathar’s instructions performed the abhishekam. On completion mami was asked to bag the vibhuthi again. Then Gurunathar instructed Mami to immediately go home and keep the vibhuthi at her home as if any one knows about the abhisheka vibhuthi,  they will ask for a share and nothing will be left for mami. Mami immediately started for Chennai and kept the vibhuthi at her home. From then onwards mami used to give the vibhuthi as a medicine to those who are suffering from illness. Let us return back to original experience.

On that night Gurunathar came in the dream of Mami and asked mami why she was angry with Gurunathar and Guruji. Mami told him about the travails of the lady and Gurunathar laughed and told mami you are angry at us but i have already had given you the medicine. Mami got confused an asked Gurunathar what was the medicine. Then Gurunathar reminded her about the abhisheka vibhuthi and told her to give the vibhuthi to the lady for fifteen days.   Mami woke up and the next morning called on the lady and gave her the vibhuthi and asked her to put a little  vibhuthi in water and drink it for fifteen days. To make a long story short, the lady who was supposed to die in fifteen days is a regular visitor to Thapovanam even today.
