KANCHI MAHA SWAMI At Kuzhumani Village near Nerur Maha Swami was staying there. A young man from Kerala came And had a consultation with him. He told Maha Swami that his intention Was to convert himself as a Christian, As advised to him by some Priests From the Christian missionaries. The importance of Hindu religion Maha Swamy then explained to him For three days that convinced him To give up the idea of conversion. Padagachery Swamigal was born On 9.5.1876 to his mother Ardhanari And his father Kandhaswami In a village near Pollachi Town. When he was a very young boy, They both died unfortunately, Leaving him as a helpless orphan, To manage himself somehow then. At Bellary, he became a disciple Under Sri Erinatha Swamigal, Who for hundred years lived And in the year 1922 he died. He cured many diseases Where the doctors failed, And they were surprised At his wonderful powers. Even leprosy, cancer patients He cured with his sacred ashes And turned stone into diamond, As well as brass metal into gold.
