In Tiruvannamalai lived a Mahatma by name Yogiramsuratkumar. He was then in Tirukkovilur where is located the ‘Tapovanam’ of Swami Gnanananda. River Pennaiyar flows through this town. Next to the river is the Samadhi of another Mahan called Ragottama Swami. It was his Aradhana day and thousands of devotees were gathered there.
A little boy who went to take bath in the Pennaiyar river, got struck in between two huge rocks in the river. The river was flooded and no one could save him. Panicked, people rushed to Swami Gnanananda and surrendered unto him, requesting him to save the boy.Saying that there was another powerful person carry out that task, Swami Gnanananda summoned Yogiramsuratkumar to save him.
Yogi went to the banks of the river, and swaying his hand-fan, uttered ‘Sri Ram, Jaya Ram Jaya Jaya Ram!’ and behold! The rock broke into a thousand pieces!People asked Yogi, 'Bhagavan! you are capable of doing such miracles!’Yogi replied, ‘No No! This beggar is not capable of doing any miracles. Only Ram Naam is doing miracles!’
In our life we enjoy or suffer depending on our 'paapa' and 'punya'. The imprints of our past deeds (‘prarabda’) follow us.No one's life is filled with just happiness or just sorrow. Life is a mix of both happiness and sorrow.In such a life, when we encounter misery, instead of wailing, if we cry out the name of the Lord, irrespective of the condition and situation, He comes down to help us.
