MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH SHAKATAPURAM SWAMIGAL
Few years back, on one fine Thursday morning, I have visited the Holy place of Shakatapuram while I was on a tour to Karnataka. There I saw the holy Guru of Shakatapuram and I was also blessed by him. When I try to touch his feet, he blessed me, and gave me the Holy Prasadam KALKANDU. When I tried to ask about my future to him, he himself told, “Don’t worry. Time is there. Things will go on smoothly. God is there with you. Please maintain patience. You will get the desired results, once time comes. Have lot of confidence on you, be sincere with your work, do your duty, rest, leave it in the hands of the god”. I was very much happy with his statement, and after some time, I left that place by burying my entire worries. Those who sincerely believe Swamiji should surrender themselves on to the holy feet of Swamiji. I have one calendar picture of Swamiji in my home, and daily I used to worship him, by adorning flowers to him, by chanting his name, and My mouth would also recite the Divine Mantra, “OM MA KAMAKSHI AMMA SARANAM”.
We can easily approach Swamiji, and we can also ask him some reasonable questions. Swamiji is an aspect of the supreme holy mother Ma Shakti Devi, and the words which come from his mouth are to be treated as the words of Ma Kamakshi Amman itself!
