Offer food to guests at right time…

Once Maha Swamigal gave darshan in Kumbakonam. Among many devotees there was a couple.

Swamigal asked about the boy’s mother’s health.

Daughter in law says, ‘’Swami! My aunt is just suffering from stomach ache for past 15 years. But she never stops her fasting and rituals on all auspicious days.’’

Swamigal asked the boy to make a Vel [Lord Muruga’s spear] from the chain which his mother wears.

The Guru also directed about the size, shape and where it has to be made.

After a week the couple came back with a golden spear and handed over that to Guru.

He just took and placed over his palm and observed for few minutes.

‘’Daily perform milk abishekam to this and do archana with hisbiscus flowers. Ask you aunt to drink and eat few flowers’’

The couple left the mut and followed what Guru said.

Slowly the old lady’s abdomen problem got solved.

Later in an occasion they had darshan of Swamigal.

‘’In previous birth you have not offered food to your guests at right time. That has expressed as this karma phala. But your continues devotion, fasting and rituals has given a chance to cure this.’’

Later they came to know from a Ayurvedic doctor that milk with hibiscus will cure many abdominal problems.
