Last year, Sri Sri Swamiji, after performing the Kumbabhishekha at Maruthoor, participated in the Radha Kalyanam at Sri and Smt. Kuppuswami's residence at Mandavelli, Chennai. Due to His heavy schedule even prior to this event, Sri Sri Swamiji had not had any rest for quite some days. Yet, Sri Sri Swamiji did not sleep that night before Radha Kalyanam.

The Pãnduranga Temple renovation at Vittalãpuram, near Kalpãkkam, is underway.
Lord Pãnduranga of this Temple appeared to Sri Sri Swamiji all through that night. The next day during Radha Kalyanam, 'Pãnduranga abhangs' were sung. During the course of this bhajan Vittalãpuram Pãnduranga appeared before Sri Sri Swamiji. He wore 'kundalams' in His ears and His neck was adorned with ornaments. Sri Sri Swamiji was quite surprised, as, this Pãnduranga had no ornaments.

That morning after the Radha Kalyanam was over, Sri Sri Swamiji visited Vittalãpuram along with the devotees who had performed the bhajan.
The gentleman who had been performing puja to Pãnduranga there informed Sri Sri Swamiji, "Last evening a man offered some ornaments to Pãnduranga. I have them safely locked up inside." Saying this, he brought those ornaments out and adorned Pãnduranga with those ornaments. Sri Sri Swamiji's joy knew no bounds. They were the very same ornaments that Lord Pãnduranga had on Him when He had appeared before Sri Sri Swamiji that morning!

A similar incident occurred on an earlier occasion. Once, when Sri Sri Swamiji was returning after His participation in a Radha Kalyanam in Perambur near Mannãrkudi, Lord Natarãja of Chidambaram kept appearing before Sri Sri Swamiji and inviting Him to come to Chidambaram for His darshan. When Sri Sri Swamiji responded to that call, the Dikshitar who was inside the Sanctum Sanctorum, on an impulse, asked Sri Sri Swamiji, "Oh! You have come here on Nataraja's invitation!" One cannot describe in mere words the joy experienced by Sri Sri Swamiji!
