ALTERNATIVE REMEDIES

If Bala Chandran was the reason we began feeding/ distributing groceries at the children and old folks homes and Sri Krishna was the reason we went to the streets to feed, Vinthamaray and Stan were the reason we started feeding/ distributing groceries to the homes of the poor at the PPR flats.

But she tells me that it was Agathiyar who showed her the way, giving her an alternative to doing charity or dharmam locally rather than in India as originally mentioned in the Nadi. The most compassionate father changed and rectified her remedy or parikaram to suit her request when she asked that he show her another option or alternative as she could not go to India then. Agathiyar gave his message through a dream. She shares the dream and the message.
In my dream someone gave me a piece of paper carrying a beautiful hand written message. It read '8 ammavaasaikku ettagam sendru...... seithiduvai en puthalvi neeyum' and showed me a vision of a hot steaming meal of rice with curry. When I asked who gave this message... a voice said 'Agatheesan'. That moment the piece of paper started burning into a small piece of metal (only now I realize that voice called it thurumbu). This dream gave comfort to my heart.

With ammavaasai just two days ahead, I asked my relative Mr and Mrs.Shankaralingam if they knew anyone who would accept the food we are going to give. They immediately scouted around, identified and arranged for the occupants of a few houses in PPR Kampung Muhibbah to receive the food. We started by giving food for the families in 8 houses and more. I believe Agathiyar gave the menu and supported us financially too. We continued to give food even after the 8th month. We never knew there were families who put their children to bed as early as 8pm just to make them ignore their hunger pangs. Today, all our needs are fulfilled and we feel our burden removed. The parigaram Agathiyar gave in my dream worked mysteriously.
The potluck annadhanam scheduled for tomorrow evening is something very special too for it is to be held at a place designated and shown to her, this PPR flats. Let us come together and serve the poor at these flats.
