Experience with Mahaperiyava – Arakonam Shri Balu

Arakonam Shri Balu affectionately called by Mahaperiyava as ‘Chinna Balu” is a very simple devotee of Mahaperiyava. Once Pradosham mama asked Shri Balu to have the darshan of  Mahaperiyava and to give him ‘Vilva maalai’. That was the turning point of his life and Shri Balu became another “மீளா அடிமை” .

Ever since, he used to go to Mahaperiyava daily with Vilvam, that too sometimes by cycling for 60kms  as he couldn’t afford the bus fare. We are blessed to see and listen to such a simple and yet extraordinary devotee in this short interview.

  2. Arakkonam balu sir!!! wat a blessed soul!!

  3. Anandakodi namaskarams to Sri Kanchi Maha Periva. We are daily blessed with sharing wonderful experiences of devotees with Maha SwamigalThose who are blessed in person by Maha periva were nodoubt fortunate and those who read such episodes or watch the videos thereof are also equally fortunate . normally seeing is believing but in this case hearing of Periva’s PRABHAVAMS also has the same effect.. Periva’s every action, every utterances has an magnetic influence on HIS devotees and such memories of PERIVA is everlasting. Such is HIS greatness.We find words inadequate to adore Maha Periva ..Let us follow HIS teachings and this would be a fitting tribute to the greatest Saint of our times.Hara Hara Sankara, Siva Siva Sankara.

  4. Namaskaram!

  8. அந்தப் பதினாலு நிமிட interview கேட்கும்போது உடல் சிலிர்த்து போனது கண்ணீர் வழிய. When Sivaraman Sir asking about periyavaa, it really touches our heart. It convey his devotion to periyavaa. We also get a feeling இப்படி ஒரு காட்சி காண நமக்கு கொடுத்து வைக்கவில்லையே என்று அழுகை வந்தது. Chinna Balu is a blessed man. How he attracted to periyava, cycling 30 kms, lifting of periyavaa all great things to hear. As Tiagu Mamu said, periyavaa பத்தி கேக்கும் போது ஆனந்தம், அழுகை நம்மை அறியாமல். When Sivaraman Sir “…ஏன் அப்படி ஒரு ஈர்ப்பு வந்தது பெரியவாகிட்ட உங்களுக்கு” என்று கேட்க chinna balu ” என்னன்னு தெரியலை, இனம் புரியாத ஒரு ஈர்ப்பு”. சத்தியமான வார்த்தைகள்

    Sivaraman sir should also tell us about his darshan with Mahaperiyavaa

  9. HARA HARA SANKARA, JAYA JAYA SANKARA. HARA HARA SANKARA, JAYA JAYA SANKARA. HARA HARA SANKARA, JAYA JAYA SANKARA. HARA HARA SANKARA, JAYA JAYA SANKARA.

  10. Really virbating to hear his version. Mr Arakonam Balu really blessed to have the vision of
    Maha Periyava on him. It is all because of poorva janma good works.
    Thanks a lot Mr Suresh for giving us an opportunity to be blessed with such versions.
