Sudhan Kalidas' brilliant Drawings!

Pencil sketches by Sudhan Kalidas. He had started to draw Kanchi Swamigal from March of last year only and since then, he has been maddeningly consumed with Him! Since then, not a day has passed when he did not draw Him and so far he has completed over a Hundred Drawings of Swamigal!

He is a very simple and devoted person. He has even donated one of kidneys to his brother in law 5 years back, that is the kind of person he is!

How I wished Swamigal had seen them when He was in His Sthoola Shariram. Oh, to look at the Happiness in His face!

Words are a Waste to describe these Drawings. These must be  framed and kept in a Temple for an Eternity.

Enjoy, Everyone!

Shankara.

This last One is Sudhan's favourite, he says! Shankara. Goosebumps.

Coins and other things given by Mahaperiyava!

Precious Coins given by Swamigal to the Grandmother of Vijay Kumar. Seems she was also blessed with couple of Gold coins from Him and they are in the process of locating them at home.

Below are some Coins on Him at the Adhishtanam in Kanchi Matam. Thanks a bunch to Sivasankaran for the lovely picture.

His Abhishekam with  Golden Vilvam leaves and Gold coins during His Kanakabhishekam 100th birthday celebrations in 1993.

Here is a Golden Vilvam from that Day !

And here are some Golden Vilvams that are on sale.

Here is a beautiful Golden Magizhampoo flower (called Spanish Cherry in English) given by Him to Shri Murralikrishnan, who is the great grandson of Shri Sambasiva Sastrigal. Sastrigal was Swamigal's poorvashrama younger brother.

'Sesha' Vasthram Piece of Cloth that had adorned Swamigal was given to Saraswathi Mami. She was watching a Lady doing Paduka puja to Swamigal at the Adhistanam in Kanchi. Suddenly Harimani Mama at the Adhistanam asked Mami to join that Lady in doing Paduka puja. Mami offered many flowers.  After this Mama called her and offered the below Vastram to Mami! How blessed Mami is. Shankara.
