Even while remaining in Kerala, we were fortunate enough to get introduced to Thiruppugazh form of worship, thanks to our Guruji, Sri Mani Iyer, who visited us whenever he came to Palani. But we believed it was our faith on Lord Muruga reinforced by our faith on Thiruppugazh that performed this miracle. Your neighbour guided me to this temple and here I am.” May be it was a coincidence. As I came here to take Janaki to Madras, I found the house locked. Later, we flooded him with questions and he said: “I was looking for a job, and for various reasons, could not come or write. We could not believe our eyes! There, at a corner, was sitting the very person whose homecoming was the prime object of this bhajan. As our eyes wandered through the vast audience, they stopped at one place or rather at one person. The Bhajan session went on for 41 days and on the concluding day of 41st day, there was a large assembly of devotees. Though they did not know the meaning of the songs, they were attracted by an unknown power the songs carried. Gradually, more and more people joined our prayer session. Every day evening, we turned up at the temple and rendered Thiruppugazh in the way prescribed by our Guru, Sri Mani Iyer. We made a desperate appeal to Lord Muruga in the form of Thiruppugazh. It was then we decided to conduct the Thiruppugazh bhajan at the nearby Ganesa temple at Thrissur. Our Guru, who initiated us to the Thiruppugazh form of worship,suggested that we conduct 41 days continuous Thiruppugaz bhajan. Months turned into years and my sister’s eyes were moist with tears. We never heard anything about him afterwards. Once, my brother-in-law left my sister, Janaki, at our home and left. Our devotion grows only stronger every time we feel that God is putting it to test. A family bhajan in a temple? I will begin at the beginning. All our family members, trained in Thiruppugazh, were rendering the Bhajan at the temple nearby.
