Kms020. Visit To Madurai

KANCHI MAHA SWAMI When Maha Swami stayed at Madurai, Tej Bahadhur Sapru, a freedom fighter, Came there to seek his blessings, For the meeting of all political parties. The meeting was to request, The then British Government, To give India its full freedom, Without any control from them. Maha Swami advised him Not to fight, but approach them Peacefully for the self-rule By the people, for the people. He also foresaw the coming event, That India would certainly get Its freedom, one day or the other, And it so happened as he wished for. After visiting temples at Madurai, Pazhani, Karur, and Tiruchirappalli, He reached South Arcot District, For his further stay on that spot. One villager from Thandalam, Had a very small piece of land To give Maha Swami as his gift, But the latter refused to take it. Then the villager sold the land And with the sale-cash in hand, He requested Swamiji to take it And kept the cash bag at his feet. Maha Swami saw his devotion, And requested the Tasildar then, To gift him owner-free four acres, From the Government quota lands. The villager gladly accepted The same gift of land as offered By the great Guru for his devotion, With all his full satisfaction. Like this Maha Swami helped, Those who were in real need, But sacrificed their own interests, For the sake of public services.
