Blind
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!

logistics
Acharya bhakthi - Ananthakrishna Sharma
Sri Swamigal wanted to find out the logistics of traveling to Kashi on foot. He had sent a young twenty year old man named Ananthakrishna Sharma to Kashi by foot, ten years before embarking on his trip.
Swamigal had given certain restrictions to this young man.
He should go to Kashi all the way by foot. He should prepare his own food. He should carry only a few vessels and a few necessary clothing items on his person. He should not receive any gifts or money from anyone. Other than for health purposes, he should not stay in one place for more than a day.
He should write down the names and details of the places he went to and people he met every day and post it everyday to the mutt.
Arrangements were made to send him replenishments of postcards from the mutt.
Ananthakrishna Sharma was young, healthy and full of will power and acharya bhakthi. Aside from Tamil, he could speak English as well. He followed Swamigal’s instructions, did not cross the restrictions and reached Kashi in six months.
There was interesting information obtained from the post cards that he sent to the mutt daily. He gave the details of distances and traveling conditions between one place and another and the availability of water in each of the places he visited.
After overcoming difficulties, he finally reached Kashi and stayed there for a few days.
On Swamigal’s request, the mutt’s agent at Kashi bought him a train ticket to travel back to Kumbakonam. By the time he returned, he could converse very well in Hindi. He had darshan of Swamigal in a camp and described in detail his travel experiences.
Swamigal appreciated his deep devotion to his guru and blessed him. Later Ananthakrishna Sharma got married and worked at the mutt itself.
