ON 6TH SELF AND MY WIFE HAD BLESSINGS TO VISIT THENAMBAKKAM. ALL ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE
TO THE PERFECTION. I COULD RECOLLECT THAT I WAS THERE IN1972 [ ON THE DAY OF VINAYAKA CHADURTHY ] . PERIYAVA WAS ASKING ME WHETHER I HAVE COME TO PERFORM GANESH POOJA FOR THE GANAPATHY HE USED TO SEE FROM HIS ROOM. I SAID, I DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE..HE HAS INSTRUCTED BALU,AND SRIKANTAN TO INFORM ME ABOUT THE TOTAL PROCUDURE AND CARRY OUT THE
POOJA . FURTHER, HE SAID THAT HE WILL COME AFTER SOME TIME [BY1.30 pm] WATCH THE POOJA HAVE ARTHI AND WILL TAKE A SMALL PORTION OF MODAKA AND DID AS INFORMED. THE MODAKA WAS SUCH A
BIG SIZE FROM THERE A BIT WAS TAKEN BY HIS HOLINESS. I THRILLED AND PROUD. HE INSTRUCTED ME TO FOLLOW HIS HOLINESS EVERY YEAR ON THE DAY OF VINAYAKA CHADURTHY, WHEREEVER HIS CAMP IS,. I COULD FULL FILL TILL 1993
. [ MY FATHER MANI SASTRIGAL MET WITH TRAIN ACCIDENT IN 1971 DEC, AT THUMKUR, KARNATAKA]
