Very Very blessed family… Periyava Charanam.. Hara Hara Sankara Jaya Jaya Sankara
Poorva janma punniyam. Got experience with Sri Mahaperiava. We are also have punniyam to read and heard their experiences. HARA HARA SANKARA JAYA JAYA SANKARA
Great experience and very very blessed. MahaPeriyava Thunai.
My namaskarams to this exalted punya atma .
It takes a lot of previous janma punyam to get the grace of this exalted guru. Many of us are yearning to have similar experience. But we do not know what demerits we have accumulated to not be one to get this kind of a grace. Let us keep trying to do what periyava says and one day his grace will descend.
Namaskaram.

Very blessed family by our ummachi thatha…
