#MahaPeriyava
One day Mahaperiyava with his service minded people went on a Padayatra to Thirukovilur. People of Thirukovilur gathered and waited for Mahaperiyava in the entrance of the Village. There was a a small path on the right hand side of the village which led to another
village called as Vasanthanalloor. He turned in that direction. Those with Him told,”Periyava, this village is a very small village and it does not have a small pond to take bath and it will not be neat also so let us go straight to Thirukovilur". But Maha Periyava continued as
though he heard nothing. The small path was totally dry, very soon
Periyava saw this beautiful Sight.
The neem tree The Banyan tree the Vilva tree were twined together.
They seem to tell that we are living with nature and as friends too. If men were also to live like plants as
friends then God would be really pleased. Mahaperiyava called Vedapuri mama and ask him to build a small thatched roof house under the twined trees. He asked his Mutt assistants to call all the important people of the village to His Ashram. They gathered and bowed to MahaPeriyava
They only knew that Periyava was a Mahan. Periyava told them, “I want to stay in your town and do Pooja, do you have any objection?"
They said there is no objection Swami, but it is long since it rained in this town.
“Let me stay tonight here”
Periyava had the whole universe in
