SUNDAR:
About Periyaval's ability to cure a mentally deranged person here are the details:
He was an adept in Mantra Shastras. Once, a poor boy came to Maha Periyava in deep anguish. He had none to call his own except a sister whom he had married off. But she had become mentally deranged and her in-laws were pressuring him to take her back. He had no permanent earning or place of stay, and so was perturbed about bringing his sister back. She used to behave abnormally. Periyava asked the boy to bring the sister while He performed Lord Chandramouleeswara puja. Periyava said that after the puja He would do japa with the sandal paste ('chandan') which He would splash on her; and, she will react violently and run to a mango tree. Periyava instructed that none should follow her or stop her. She was very restless when she was brought in and would not stand there. Maha Periyava did as He had said. She ran out and hit against a tree and fell. She then became all right as the 'brahma rakshas' that had caught hold of her had left her. No allopathic medicine can cure such troubles. They will call it nervous weakness and at the most put the person to sleep using sedatives.
So this answers your question why He did not cure Bhavani - IT IS HIS prarabdha and all our prarabda put together he is suffering.
ReplyDeletemmm... is it because bhavani sankar has so many brothers that Periyava chose not to cure him of the brahma rakshas hold?
ReplyDeleteoh! he suffers because of our prarabda also...mmm
ReplyDeleteDear Shankar,
ReplyDeleteIN Gita, CH.15, it is said that rinonubandani manushya loke - Shirdi BABA also confirmed that all relatives are bound by rina. When Bhavani suffers, all of us are made to suffer, so that
is what I meant.
We cannot question the ways of God. MAY BE he will have to work out his karma in this birth itself - Shankar these are very difficult to fathom.
