Rain – Agriculture by Sri Rajaram K, Ex Minister

Before telling the matter about me, I will express the feeling I got when he visited Paramacharya Swamy, my dearest Sri G Parthasarathi garu. Sri G Parthasarathi is the Indian Ambassador in the United Nations Committee. Indira Gandhi was also an adviser to the government when he was the Prime Minister. Whenever you come from Delhi to Tamil Nadu, you will not go to Kanchi and visit Paramacharya Swamy. Every time he went, Mahaswamy used to speak for almost half an hour. What’s surprising about it is that they’ve been talking about every single thing that’s happened in the world by now. He would have given proper instructions about our diplomatic matters with other countries.

Parthasarathi garu used to share those things with me very much. Many people used to tell me about the things that Mahaswamy said and their wealth of knowledge and say that Swamy’s intelligence is amazing. Both of them used to pray to Swami.
Once when we went for the Darshan of Paramacharya Swamy, Swamy was sitting in the palaki. I went and sat in front of Swami. By then I was in the post of minister. Won from panaimarathupatti constituency.

There is a village named Cholapuram in my constituency. It is on the banks of Tirumani Muttaru river. Karaipuranatha Swamy temple is there in that village. That is Cheranadu (Cheranadu, Cholanadu, Pandyanadu, which was three parts in ancient Tamilnadu). In that temple itself, Avvayyar Pari Raju’s daughters Angavai and Sangavai were married. Following her order, Raja, Chola and Pandya came and gave blessings.
Paramacharya Swamy has come from Salem to Coimbatore on foot. Best cholapuram is on the same way. There is a Shiva temple built by the best choludu opposite the road. For the first time I have contested in the by-elections from Panaimarathupatti constituency. The one who goes to the election campaign who prays to the Lord named Karaipuranathar.

As soon as Paramacharya Swamy came in front of the temple, the temple Shivacharya gave a full Kumbha welcome to Swamy and invited him to come to the temple. Swamy lifted his head a little and looked up. That temple didn’t have Rajagopuram till then.
So Swamyavaru, “First build a tower for the temple. I’ll be back later” said. Just accepted the welcome and moved on. I didn’t know this for years. After winning the elections for the second time, the Sivacharya of that place told me this. I felt sad that Paramacharya Swamy has gone without visiting such a great temple in my constituency. Without knowing the reason for that, “Why didn’t you visit the temple in my constituency? “I asked that”. Then I understood how much their memory is!
“Is Uttam Cholapuram in your constituency? Swamy has asked. I didn’t even say the nickname. It’s been many years since this thing happened. I am left speechless. “There is no tower. Why didn’t you build it yourself? Swamy has asked.

Swami’s order, petitioned. Left there with a definite decision. Directly from Kanchi, India Cements President Sri K. Yes. Off to narayanan Talked to the related department and said that he will send as many cement bags as needed. Now to find one to cover the entire cost. That’s why I met Mr. Erode Kailasa Goundar executive director of Arut Selvar Sri Mahalingam organization and took their consent. While thinking about the shape of the tower, Nangavalli temple tower inspired. Went and checked it out with friends. What a wonderful build up. Immediately talked to that foundation and convinced them to construct Uttamacholapuram temple tower. It takes one person to take care of the whole thing! Sri R as the President of Temple Construction Committee. Asked Jayakumar, he accepted. Ramachandra Medical College is being constructed in Sri Ramaswamy Udayar Porur at that time. I heard that teak wood was brought from Rangoon for the construction of the college. Went and asked, “if you tell me how much you need for the doors, I’ll send it in my own truck.” 12 feet high gates installed.
First we thought of constructing a three storey tower. We have decided to construct a five storey tower on the suggestion of committee president Jayakumar garu. The fame of that Shiva temple is that, on the day of Chaitra Pournami, two bags of cooked rice are abhisheated and on the next day morning, sambaru is added and the sambaru rice is kept as a prasad to devotees. That was the temple tradition there. We thought of offering food to the devotees who came for Kumbhabhishekam. If Washermanpet meets rice traders association, he said he will contact all and give twenty bags of rice. They collected from them and sent to us in their lorry. My friend Sri Mehta is the president of Kodaikanal Vegetable Traders Association. Asked to send vegetables in lorry for thirty thousand people. My friend Srinivasan resident of Dindigal. His “servant semya” karma has been commenced under my presidency. I asked you to send as much as you want. My Coimbatore friend Annur Balu sent sixty thousand rupees to give to cooks, waiters, workers etc. Sri Lanka Minister Savumiyamurthy Thondaman attended this festival. Celebrations started with Namagiripettai Sri Krishnan Nadaswara singing were held grandly for three days. On the last day my ministerial post was not mine.
Next day, Paramacharya Swamy has forgiven my request and sent his disciple Jayendra Saraswathi Swamy and Shankara Vijayendra Sarasvathi Swamy. They came and did pooja in the temple. Still going on till this day. The reason for writing so vulgarly is to convey the kindness of Paramacharya Swamy. Just to show how true their word of grace is. An event that I will never forget in my life.

I’m a dr because of diabetes. Y M. I am getting treatment in Vishwanathan’s hospital. One day at ten o’clock in the morning some people. A. Yes officers came to me with wreaths. For the reason, he said “From today onward you are our minister”. Purachi Thalaivar (M) who removed twelve ministers G. R) has been handed over to the agriculture department as well as other departments. I did not go to Ramavaram to express my gratitude. Asked other ministers about me, they came straight to the hospital after knowing my illness. “Chief Minister is coming to see you” as soon as the authorities said, Myself and Dr on the third floor. Went to Vishwanathan room. He took them to my room. With Thalaivar doctor as soon as he came to my room, “Give better treatment to Rajaram garu. “No matter the cost” said.

The whole state is suffering from drought when the Department of Agriculture gave me. All the lands should be destroyed without rains. Don’t know what to do. Kanchi Mahaswamy remembered him. Came to kanchi mutt Matham Manager Sri Nilakanta Iyer has taken care of me since childhood. As soon as I arrived, they invited me and said, “Mahaswamy has been asking about irrigation for a long time. They said, “Looked for you for a long time and fell asleep.”

I said “I will stand far away silently and have darshan of Swami” and went to the stage where Swami is sleeping and bowed. After a few minutes, Mahaswamy turned aside and stood up immediately. Looked at me and said “when did you come?” “That was asked to be the same.”

Just said “just now”.

“You asked me to meet you!” Why? “That was asked to be the same.”

“There are no rains in the state.” And then I was given the Department of Agriculture. The whole floor needs to be shoveled. How can I be agriculture minister in this state where there is no rains. That would be a scar on me. I pray you do some yagam for rains” I asked.

“Is this what you came here for?” Swamy has asked. Yes I said yes. In meditation for a little while. And a little while later, “okay! From tomorrow onwards, I will ask to conduct Yagam in Kamakshi Ammavaru temple for fifteen days” they said.

Sitting in the car after finishing an event in Chengalpet in the evening. After lunch car heading towards Sriperumbudur. Insomnia sitting in the seat and looking out the window, no one believes what I saw. Heavy rain like someone is pouring pots of water on the car. It’s raining steadily. Paramacharya Swamy’s words came true within a few hours. The state’s first farm is green. The crops are in abundance. Drinking water is available in plenty. My department has got a good name as it has adequate water for agriculture. Paramacharya Swamy’s blessings are the reason for all this happening in the state.
