VEDANTA DESHIKAR
"Fortune Has Favored Me Today"

That day Deshikar Went with the crowds to the temple of Chelvanarayana and had the 'darshan' of the beautiful deity. Tears of joy trickled down his cheeks. He was choked with emotion. "0 god Sampat- kumara, the god that blessed the great Ramanuja - You have now favored me with this good fortune of your 'darshan'. How lucky I am!" he exclaimed in joy.

He addressed the mass of devotees that had gathered in the temple courtyard and said: 'you, the devotees of this temple, are the luckiest, since you are offering service to the deity who was the beloved of Sri Ramanuja. I, who was living in the far-off Sriranga, am favored with that fortune, today! May the Almighty grace us all with His blessings."
