Almost fifty years ago, on a Friday, at Srimadam, had arranged for Swasini Puja. As the pooja happening in front of Parama Sirya, he would have seen and done all the things. When everyone was running hectic, only one woman was standing as if she was very tired and uncomfortable,
She must be only thirty thirty five years old. Even a fifty-sixty-year-old is running busy, she stood like that was similar to many. Some people look at her and say, ′′ Look at her... without a flowerless bindi.. who asked her to come here?" Some people took flowers and bindi to give her, but she moved to Nasuka as if she didn't notice it.
Parama Sirya came there when he was talking about her more than the arrangements for the Puja. The whole crowd has become silent. Azharya who came and sat with grace, saw Suthumuthum once and asked to call the woman.
When she came and stood in front of him, the woman said, ′′ Can you only be with your forehead in the place of Swasini Puja? Hey, put this on!" Parama Sirya extended his hand full of Kumkum.
Did the person who shouted ′′ No Periyava, I should not wear Kumkum!" started telling the reason for that
," my soulmate was in Indian Army. Six months ago I got a mustard from the military. If it was written in that he died in a fight at the border, and his body was not even found when he was trapped with the enemies!
The whole world is dark for me. I still made my mind strong and did all the karma I had to do to him. May his soul rest in peace, I came here to ask you what karma I still have to do for him, only after coming here I knew such a puja was happening. I'm wrong here at this point. I'm sorry. I will come another day and ask ′′ if you do namaskaram with your hands.
Periyava closed his eyes for a few seconds. Without knowing the meaning of that, many people there feel pity on her, walk slowly and go out, the woman.
′′ Who told you to go? You can be generous here. You can also participate in puja! Your man is alive ′′ Parama Sirya took a lot of Kumkum to the person who came back after hearing Periyava's voice
.
The woman has bought it and put it on her forehead to shake her hands, to thrill her body, to get tears in her eyes, to get a sigh. Mahaperiyava, after saying so, will there be another word? Did everyone give that girl turmeric, kumkum, saree, blouse cloth, thirumangalya saradu, flower and make her participate in the pooja also.
The same woman who came to visit Mahaperiyava next Friday.
′′ Periyava... We all thought that he has gone alone, my soulmate has come alive with your blessings. He was in the border of India for police. In the fight with the enemies, he fell down. Thinking that he is dead, enemies have dragged him and threw him on the hill somewhere. The soldiers of our country searched for a week and informed that they died due to not getting their bodies.
But, the body of this person who was lying on the mountain was a little bit of asylum. Some hill caste man has seen this and has done some treatment and made us live. When he woke up, he thanked her and somehow stumbled and reached the river.
You who gave me Kumkum to Annie, you have saved him from the form of a mountain man ′′ if I say hug him. If you do namaskaram to Azharya along with your soulmates.
Azharya smiled softly, ′′ Who is Malai Vasin? That Parameswaran is the one who always does Malai Vasam. The mountain man. He is the one who saved your soul. So you won't get any shortage anymore. Be safe!" He blessed us with a hand full of Kumkum.
The couple has bought happily and put a lot on their foreheads, and started happily.
