Life during Rema's illness

Life was miserable after Rema fell ill. My daily routine was have breakfast at Nalinam. Appa made tasty crisp dosas and I used to eat five of them. On other days, puttu and kadala, or noolpittu with curry made by (Appa's housekeeper) Bhavani. Bhavani would make dinner and keep it on the dining table at Sairam. I would go to Nirmala Hospital at around 10 am, remain there up to 12.30 have lunch in the canteen there - satisfactory food - and then return to Arcade. I would eat the dinner, made by Bhavani and kept ready to eat there. This routine continued till 2nd Dec from 14th Sept 2020. A slight relief was when Anju visited for 2 weeks in September. She didn't have much leave. The great consolation was, the Hospital management was very friendly and gave us all comfort. We were on the 4th floor of the Emergency block. Hari had the full-time duty of looking after his Amma. She got excellent treatment and Physiotherapy (Rahul, mainly) and started to show improvement. Full marks to Hari for his dedicated care of his mother. There was a Tata insurance maturity which came in handy - more than 5 lakhs. Finally the day came, when we went to PSN to the new home Hari got for us - D9 double room with A/C. We are still there, very comfortable.

Interview and PSN sights

I want to share an incident, my only chance for an interview with Sathya Sai, along with all Kerala SS Trust members. Trust chairman then was Mr Kumaran Eradi, Justice Eradi's younger brother. Along with us was the Ex minister Mr Wellington also. Swami liked him and always talked to him. Lots of things about the Srisailam School were discussed and Swami asked many questions. Just before ending the interview, Swami said something which I didn't hear properly and didn't understand. Later, Mukundan, our state president, told that Swami had commented that I was always thinking, thinking; just do good things and everything will be ok. That was a good message for me. After the interview, all of us came out and sat on the veranda/ Swami continued to talk to Wellington - His plans to enlarge the Sai Kulwant hall in detail. Sorry, I forgot the date of the interview. Forgot to mention (in the previous post about Prasanthi Nilayam ) more about the two museums here in Prasanthi Nilay...

About my brothers

As mentioned previously , we were originally 14 siblings. 5 died - these were all my elder sisters - much before I was born. I have only heard about them. So my parents were earnestly praying for a girl and then Kamakshichechi was born 1934. Eldest was Ramankutty chettan employed in the registration department. Though his was a small job he was very satisfied and happy mainly because of Karthyayani chedathi amma who managed their family very well. Edathiyamma (Elder sister-in-law) was our eldest maternal uncle's (Krishnamman's) daughter. She was very beautiful and theirs was a love marriage. Their eldest child was Valsala, then Ambika and later Malini and last their last was son Rajan. He stays at their house now. Malini had CA (cancer) and is no more. Ambika is happily married to Siddhan in Bangalore. Valsala was married to Vijayan from FACT . Vijayan expired a few years back due to a cardiac attack. They have 3 girls and a boy. All well settled. Valsala lives alone in Udyogam...

PSN - Prasanthi Nilayam

Swami called this place Prasanthi Nilayam - perhaps because Swami wanted all who come here to have Peace and Santhi - that will promote Bhakthi which in turn gives Salvation or MUKTHI. So this is the trick that attracts people all over the world to PSN. There are lots of regulations if you want to be in PSN. Ladies and gents are segregated here. Ladies and gents have to cover their whole body, and no exhibitionism of any sort is allowed. Discipline and strict queuing everywhere. When Swami was there, sitting for Darsan had a fool-proof queuing system. They will make you sit in lines, which will be many in number. The controller will bring a bagful of lots from which the first person will take a lot, and like that all the first people in each line will take lots. When all are ready, number 1 will be called and that line can go in - and like that all lines. When people sit inside also, volunteers will direct you where to sit - you have to obey them, or you will be forcibly remov...
