A call to the Lord..
Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae
8th March, 2011, Goa
It was dawn, and I had been having fleeting impressions of Guruji. His Holiness then blessed me with a revelation in the form of a dream.
A great shamiana (pandal) was being erected for the function of Swamijis Aradhanai. Several bhakthas were busy in their various chores and errands. Above the entrance, a massive banner was placed, welcoming a ‘Swamiji SURJIT Shree…..’, (as the name read!
As a spectator, I was taken aback, at not finding the familiar phrase – “Sesha Bhaktha Samaajam” or Mahaan’s Mantra “Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae!”
To this inner query, Swamiji in His resplendent joyous smile appeared beside me standing by my side and clarified as under:
“What is the difference or distinction in names? Let the Bhakthas call me by whatever name they may prefer or like. All names reach out to me. And, I receive all their calls and prayers with the same joy.”
Such is the kindness of our Pujya Swamiji, Sathguru Sri Rajalinga Swamigal, as He comes to clear the slightest of doubts arising in His Bhaktha’s mind.
Is there need of any testimony to Mahaan’s presence in our lives and actions ?
OM SATHGURU SRI SESHADRI SWAMIGAL THIRUVADIKKAE
Guruji – our Guardian Angel – Shri. Seetharaman
Om Sathguru Sri Seshadri Swamigal Thiruvadikkae
Shri. Seetharaman of Thiruvannamalai who has had the fortune of serving our Poojaniya Guruji during His final mortal days, before His MahaSamaadhi, to this moment recollects and narrates the most enchanting of Miracles our Swami has blessed him with….
Once when Shri. Seetharaman was travelling with his father-in-law to be, on his motorbike. He was explaining to him, about the Blessings and Grace of Mahaan and Swami on the lives of Their Bhakthas. They were travelling on a highway, at quite a speed, and as they were talking about the Glories and Divinations of our Lord, there was a beautiful yellow butterfly that flew about and settled on the handlebar of his bike, just as they were travelling!
Both Shri. Seetharaman and his father-in-law were astounded to see a butterfly come and perch on his hand, at a moment when they were actually talking about our Swami, and the miracle that a butterfly could perch undisturbed, on a bike travelling at a speed of nearly 60 kmph, was an amazement!
Rejoicing at the miracle and that our Dearest Guruji had blessed upon them, they stopped the vehicle, and offered their love-filled prayers to His Holiness. Soon, the butterfly left….

“FOLLOW THE WORDS OF YOUR GURU…”
6th. October, 2010
Thiruvannamalai
On the evening of 6th. October, 2010, at Thiruvannamalai, Shri. Seetharaman and Shri. Senthil were at Guruji’s Samaadhi Shrine, offering their prayers.
It was the hour of twilight, and in the hour of solitude, with none except themselves, the young devotees of our Lord had just lit a lamp and sat close to our Guru, at His Sacred Spot…
In the midst of their soulful prayers, they happened to notice a young beautiful ascetic clad in white, (circumambulate) our Guruji’s Sannidhi. He looked about 20 or 21 years of age, and His face bore a Divine radiance and a beautiful smile.
Addressing our friends, He asked them if they knew that it was Sri Vallalar’s birthday (Saint Sri Ramalinga Adigal), to which they said they didn’t know about it.
He then asked if the Shrine belonged to a Parama Bhaktha of Sri Seshadri Swamigal (our Guruji), to which our young friends replied in the affirmative. Smiling, He said our Guruji was a great ‘Mahaan’, and that He possessed immense powers and so did His Sannidhi…
He then continued to talk to them, asking if they followed the Divine instructions of Noble Guruji. They nodded, a little perplexed. He then instructed them not to have any Asaiva (non-vegetarian) food. He reminded them that it was one of Guruji’s significant instructions! A little confused, Shri. Seetharaman nodded in assent, but Shri. Senthil, quite guilty, immediately agreed to abide by His instructions, ( – Shri. Senthil had in fact, the same morning, consumed Asaiva food. This fact was not known to Shri. Seetharaman!)
He then inquired about the young devotees…Shri. Seetharaman informed Him that he had a shop of his own, to which the young Divine ascetic replied that He knew all about him, and that his health would soon be completely fine! Shri. Senthil then informed Him that he had just completed his education and was on the lookout for a job. Immediately, the ascetic blessed him saying he would get a job within a week! He instructed Shri. Senthil to treat at all his guests with love and respect, and take good care of them.
Saying this, He was about to leave, when our fellow devotees inquired after His Holy Self, to which His Divine Self replied, “I just came straight here, from the Holy Hill of Arunachala!”
He then came to Shri. Senthil, and as an aside, instructed him, “Do not consume food that is Asaiva.”
With the instruction, “Follow your Guru’s words…”,
…He then left, with His Beautiful, Lovely Form and Golden words,..lingering in their hearts…
… and with the dust of His Beautiful Golden Rubicund Feet enshrined in our hearts…
