Bhagavan addressing a huge gathering of<br />
devotees at Tiruchirapalli in January 1984.<br />
received by former State Coordinator, <strong>Sri</strong> K.<br />
Govindarajulu. I was fortunate to offer Him<br />
a rose on His arrival in the specially erected<br />
Pandal at the railway parade grounds,<br />
Kallukuzhi junction where He addressed a<br />
huge gathering of devotees. At that time,<br />
...Continued from page 116<br />
offered them to Mother Ganga and, keeping<br />
His palms on the surface of the river, said,<br />
“We are very happy that you came to visit us.<br />
Now, please go back, Ganga”! While saying<br />
this, He affectionately patted the waves with<br />
both His hands. As if thrilled by His gentle<br />
touch, its fury subsided, and it receded<br />
completely. We rubbed our eyes and gazed<br />
in disbelief in all four directions. Not even<br />
a drop of water was to be seen anywhere<br />
around. There was no trace of water on the<br />
ground. Swami’s robe was also dry.<br />
Surprise! A mighty surprise! It went back<br />
as suddenly as it had come. How nicely<br />
the river halted before Swami, as if a wall<br />
was built with its waves! We were baffled.<br />
Bhagavan distributed Saris to the inmates of<br />
a blind school during His visit to Tiruchirapalli<br />
in January 1984.<br />
Swami also opened a small exhibition<br />
arranged by BHEL Samithi and distributed<br />
Saris to the inmates of a blind school. Bhajan<br />
was conducted and Swami gave Darshan to<br />
devotees gathered there. From Tiruchirapalli<br />
Swami went by car to Madurai.<br />
Because Swami was standing still, we felt<br />
worried that the river might come back.<br />
The Director of these marvellous miracles<br />
laughed out loud and pointed His feet to us.<br />
A garland of big jasmine flowers was woven<br />
around His small, cute feet! He took it into His<br />
hands, smelled it and distributed the flowers<br />
from it to everyone. Each jasmine flower was<br />
almost the size of a rose, and was softer to<br />
touch than cotton. Its sweet fragrance soon<br />
spread in all directions. We reverentially<br />
placed those flowers on our closed eyes and<br />
then wore them in our hair. We could not<br />
understand this miracle, however hard we<br />
tried!<br />
