INSPIRING INCIDENTS
C.Guilda – Sakthi Dharmapuram – Kanyakumari district
This incident happened during the arrangement of Thiruvattar Deepa
Pooja. Myself and Leela Akka went for getting a tin of oil worth
Rs.1100/- . We approached a housewife and she gave us Rs.550/-. We got
Rs.101/- from another house. When we were thinking for the balance
amount, a person called us. He asked us not to go anywhere for money and
gave us remaining money Rs.550/-. We thought of God’s Grace and thanked
him. This inspired me a lot.
C.Leela – Peyankuzhi – Kanyakumari district
This inspiring incident happened while I am searching for well
wishers for monetary helpto print notice for the Deepa Pooja to be
conducted at Thiruvattar Aadikesava Perumal Temple on 23.08.2015 . I
happened to meet a student who studied in our Balwadi 22 years back. His
name was Vaikunthamani and he is handicapped. On hearing my need he
told me that he could bear the total expense as he was running a mobile
shop. Then only I realized that our Kendra has developed so many social
workers and service minded personalities. I blessed him for a blissful
future and prayed Annai Aadhi Parasakthi to shower her blessings.
S.Anbarasi – Vallankumaranvilai – Kanyakumari district
This inspiration happened while attending the training camp at
Kanyakumari. Ayyappan Annachi had arranged for watching an inspiring
documentary film on Shree Eknathji Ranade. The film show occupied my
mind and heart totally with the devoted and dedicated services rendered
by the founder without exposing him to the public. When I visited the
Vivekananda Rock Memorial amidst the sea, I was really stunned. I wonder
how Eknathji acquired such a strength and devotion towards establishing
Kendra and Rock Memorial. His life pattern inspired me to lead a life
like Eknathji.
C.Selvarani – Paramakudi – Ramnad district
To conduct the ‘Deepa Pooja’ at Rameshwaram temple, we went to the
Temple Police Station to get the permission. The Sub Inspector of Police
enquired us all the details and gave us the phone to speak to the
Inspector. Though the Inspector is a Christian he encouraged us to
change the number from 2007 to 3006 and assured us that he would supply
the match boxes needed. We thanked him and asked him to supply camphor
instead of match boxes. He accepted at once. On hearing this, the lady
constable was ready to share some of the expenses. This unexpected help
encouraged us to render our services more enthusiastically.
