A Teacher from a blind school in Poonamallee near Madras, came for Swamigal's darshan and said he will bring the children on a particular Sunday and since they cannot see, he requested that Periyava should talk to them. He brought the children on the said day but, unfortunately Periyava was on 'Mouna vratham' Vow of Silence, that day.
The Teacher cried saying, "I have disappointed these children!"
Just then Mahaperiyava came out, sat by the side of the Well and asked the teacher to bring the children near Him. He then asked them one by one, their names, the place where they came from, how they became blind, etc.
Everyone around was touched and were in tears. The Teacher cried again, but now in Joy.
The Jagathguru, who had not come out of His Mouna vratham even when the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the President V.V. Giri visited Him, did so for the blind children!
