    Dear Saras,

    Thank you so much for the slokam with meaning. It makes it better to chant when we know what we are saying. I am also very moved on hearing that SreePadaVAllabha Swamy is Swami LakshmiNarasimha Himself. It explains so many things. Near my mother's flat in Bombay, there is a Datta Mandir. We all kind of grew up visiting there. They have shrines for GAnesha, Sindoor Anjaneya and Sitala Devi- like most temples in Maharashtra. A few years back they consecrated a shrine for Swami LakshmiNarasimha. Many including us wondered about the connection. Your explanation makes it clear. Keep posting. Prahlad is well, started crawling slowly.

    Wanted to share this information with you.

    How Sri Pada Vallabha Swami blessed me on Akshaya Thrithiya day.

    It is customary in my family that we put aside some money for the gods. We have been doing this for quite sometime now. Lot of coins and notes have accumulated. I have asked my Mils advise what to do with the money and she advised that we use this for some god related purpose like buying some silver article etc but DH was not happy with this advise and he suggested we send the amount to Shirdi for Annadanam. I said ok.
    One fine day we counted all the notes and decided to send the amount thru online in Indian rupees equivalent to the notes to shirdi. While doing this DH asked me if I wanted some amount to be sent to Sri Padavallabha Swami. I was thrilled by this idea. So I said ok. And we sent to both the places.
    When we send money to Sri Padavallabha devastanam , we need to inform them for what purpose we sent the money for? So I called them and explained that it is for annadanam and to be done on Chitra nakshatram day which is Swami’s birth star. They suggested that I write a detailed email to them about what I want and to where to send prasadam. So wrote an email to them gave our address in Muscat and alternate one as my father’s. This happened in early April. From that day till this week everyday I used to wait for the acknowledgement email from samstanam. But never received any mail. Finally felt that it may not be possible for them to reply as many like me mail them from all over the world.
    But I was bit disappointed. Meanwhile one day I received prasadam from Shirdi which I knew we will get. Shirdi devastanam posts prasadam for whatever amount you donate for annadanam. But still in heart of hearts was thinking about Sri Padavallabha Swami devastanam. Then suddenly I called my father last week and asked him if he received any prasadam from Peetapuram and he said yes. I was so angry with my dad for not telling me this. My dad promised to send that packet to me and according to him they sent a booklet. I thought it was ok may be they sent Stala puranam which is common. But was happy that I am going to receive a cover from Peetapuram.
    Dad sent a message saying that he sent the cover containing booklet and some documents for my DH.
    On Akshaya thrithiya day in the evening the cover came thru the post. DH gave the cover to me.
    Generally in the evenings I have the habit of lighting deepam for the gods but that day I was delayed. I informed my DH that I will light the lamp as I was delayed. I took this envelope placed it in my pooja room near the mandiram , prayed and did harathy karpooram to the gods and to this cover. I didn’t know why but I was very very thrilled that I received this packet all the way from Pitapuram Samstanam. Did not even know why I did harathy karpooram for the cover. After reading Sidha Mangala Stothram I opened the cover. What I saw gave me a shock. There was no prasadam nor a booklet inside the cover. My heart skipped a beat. I checked the contents of the cover again. No Vibhuthi No Sugar powder. Only papers that too one money order form and a pamphlet giving details of sevas available in Samasthanam. I carefully checked it once again and suddenly found that a very small photograph of Swami was pinned from inside in the cover. I took that out and I was happy. Something has come but still thinking about Vibhuthi and sugar prasadam.
    I was looking at the cover all the time it was cover ¾ of the A4 size paper. Suddenly I somehow felt I missed something. There was some folded paper inside .I thought my dad mistook this for booklet. When i removed the folded paper and opened it believe me tears just rolled and rolled. There was no stopping. What I saw was a blessing for me.
    It was a VERY VERY BIG & the most BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF SWAMI.
    THAT WAS THE PRASADAM FOR ME.
    That is how he came and blessed me. Then I realized if Vibhuthi or sugar powder would have come as prasadam. It would have got over sometime or the other but Swami wanted to be with me & my family. That is how he came all the way from Pitapuram
    Just felt truly blessed. Gave the photo for framing and I received it on Thursday evening.
    Please see my blessings: My beloved Sri Padavallabha Swami.
    VERY TRULY MANGALA ROOPA:

    Warm Regards
    Saras

    Dear Saras,

    Sometimes, the ways of God are not so mysterious. Am not at all surprised that HE chose to visit and stay with you on Akshaya Tritiya Day After all, you are not only a devotee, you have told so many, like me about Him.

    Datta is the God we pray to for children. His coming on this sacred day means that many happy, awaited good things are going to happen in your life soon, by His Grace.

    The picture is just divine.

    Dear Vidya

    Thank you.
    I feel so happy whenever i see the picture of Swami. My DH is teasing me saying that suddenly i am acting like a child obsessed with that picture as though it is a toy.

    Nice to hear little Prahlad started crawling. He is going to keep you really busy even more.

    Little info for you:
    The bhakta Prahlad in next janma was born as Sri Raghavendra swami (this is according to Sri Pada Vallabha Swami Charithamrutamu). So there is lot of connection.

    Warm Regards:)
