'Voice of Kanchi Swamigal' Shri Ra Ganapathi and Sri Vinu the artist of Kalki magazine went and had darshan of Sri Mahaperiyava.
Spoke to Shri Vinu's son in law Shri Anantharaman today. He told me that Shri Vinu had drawn Kamakshi originally on a 6 feet by 4 feet canvas and had it framed. Four people carried it to Tirupati to have the Anugraham of Swamigal, Who was camped at that time. Swamigal on seeing them coming, told the people around:
"Make way, make way, Ambal is coming!"
Then He symbolically wrote 'Om' over the picture. He asked Shri Vinu, " Have you closed Her eyes?" Shri Vinu replied, "Yes."
Swamigal then replied, 'Yes, that is the way it should be! For She is Thapas Kamakshi!"
Swamigal then replied, 'Yes, that is the way it should be! For She is Thapas Kamakshi!"
And then Kalki magazine published the picture of Kamakshi in their 1969 edition!
He also mentioned that Shri Vinu's drawings are seen on the covers of the first six volumes of Deivathin Kural. (Voice of God book).
