INTRODUCTION :
Sundaram was a Vedic scholar and served as a freelance Purohit and he stayed at Thiruvallur. He used to visit his client’s houses and perform rituals such as Grihapravesam, Amavasai Tharpanam and Thevasam. He also used to perform marriages to his clients at the Mandaps. He used to charge only a nominal fee, and due to that, he got large number of clients. Generally while performing purohit service, he will used to take only Tiffen items and coffee and would not take lunch, since it was his habit.
One day, he went to a famous astrologer’s house in Ambattur, and performed rituals for the astrologer’s father, and as usual he ate only tiffen and had coffee. The astrologer started compelling him, but he hesitated. Finally the astrologer chanted some mantras and sprayed water on him. Due to that, Sundaram had finished his lunch without any hesitation, and left from that place. The next day morning, when he woke up, he was unable to speak, and he informed the matter to his parents and his wife by writing his problem in a piece of paper. When the family went to the astrologer’s house, they have informed that the astrologer went on a foreign trip and that he would return only after few months.
Everyone was shocked and they didn’t find any way to solve the matter. Finally they prayed to their Kuladeivam Thiruthani Murugan to cure his problems, and performed Viratham by his wife. After few days, they went to Thiruthani and prayed to Lord Muruga. To their surprise, Sundaram was shouting with full of joy in front of the main shrine of Lord Muruga. Everyone in the temple had enquired about the reason for shouting. He explained that, while he was praying to Lord Muruga, suddenly he saw the face of real god Muruga, and he blessed him, and it lasted only for a few seconds. On hearing that, his family and everyone in the temple was very happy and began to praise the grace of Lord Muruga, and Sundaram performed annadanam to 100 devotees at his own cost and returned to Thiruvallur.
Let us worship the great god Lord Muruga and be blessed.
