Kandhar Shashti Kavacam

[Oldposts]

VaLLimalai SwamigaL's body was taken to VaLLimalai and at the expense of money and manpower provided by Parthasarathi, the body was first placed at the bottom of the hill and the disciples sang Thiruppugalz songs. In the dawn of 23-11-1950, it was taken to the cave where the SwamigaL had lived; the SwamigaL's body was subjected to abhishekas with pancamirdham, milk, honey, coconut water, and Ganga water; a crypt was dug and the SwamigaL's body was placed in it. It was filled with camphour, salt, vibhuthi, bilva leaves, and other fragrant articles and navarathna gem stones closed. Even though it took about 30 hours for the ceremony to be completed, the body of the SwamigaL remained normal.

He was thus kept in a samaadhi as was the custom with Siddhas.

As the SwamigaL had said earlier, he did come back to VaLLimalai on the day before Periya Karthikai.
