The priests of the temple, the scholars and a few devotees who went along with Swamiji had tears looking at the obedience and humility in HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji when submitting the prayers to Ramanuja and Adi Kesava Swami at Sri Perumbadur.
From their words… “Everyone stood by Rama not because He was supreme, but because of His heart-drenching conduct with everyone – righteous yet practical, enchanting beauty and mystical energy, treasure trove of wisdom yet graciously accessible.
Having Swamiji’s divine form and conduct in our heart is equal to possessing God, Sri Ramachandra Himself with us!”
