The painting was made ... in 2008
Guru! I still remember placing the painting on your place in the Matt at Periakulam in Vadakarai (Theni district) during Gurupooja...
MaMauna Guruswami lived 74 years ago as a siddhar...It is said that He was born in a village called Karungalakudi near Mellur and moved to Periakulam by Himself ... He never spoke and remained silent always..He was a personification of simplicity... He blessed all those who came seeking help...He used to convey words by showing the letters in a card of alphabets.
"There are 3 very old and famous temples........ Mounaguru Swamigal Madalayam is located in Periaykulam Town. "OM SHIVOGAM" is the main chanting of Swamigal."
He lived when my Grandpa was a small boy and Great Grandma and her children were fortunate to see and speak with Him till the end. Grandma says that He did miracles......people of that period have reminisced that He could predict His last day....He could tell about future...He could even exist at two places at the same time.
He has compiled his teachings in the form of a book....and it is said that his principles are close to that of Vallalar's principles....
He is still blessing us being in His Samadhi. Every year the day when he went into Samadhi is commemorated (Punarpoosam natkshatra) and Gurupooja (at 12 noon) is done.I strongly believe ... He is immortal.
Am awaiting for the 75th Guru Pooja that is fast approaching next month :)
God is Great!
