पूर्णमिदं- Purnamidham

ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पुर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णश्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते॥
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः॥

oṃ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇātpurṇamudacyate
pūrṇaśya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate॥
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ॥

- Ishavasya Upanishad 

From the Whole - purnam,
We derive the solace.
Yet, the Whole remains whole.

Currently into reading volume 3 of Mahaswami's -  தெய்வத்தின் குரல், though into it on and off and reading just a page or two or at the most one topic at a go, I humbly submit Mahaswami remains Whole, never exhibiting even an iota of a trace:  That I'm all powerful.

We come across others' writing, narrating about the miracles from their experiences from Mahaswami.

Yes, Miracles do happen, though Mahaswami Himself may not claim any credits. The Jnani, that He is He transcends all recognition, craving for credits.  

Throughout His volumes, you will see a homogeneity.  He keeps emphaizing on upholding of Sastra, adhering to the codes of Dharma Sastra. You'll see subtle positivity all through, never a trace of giving up, any negativity.

I'll wrap this with an occurance which I have had a direct knowledge of and with another incident which I read about elsewhere.

First, in a village near Tiruvarur, a renovation work in a temple was underway. The date for consecration was fixed and fast approaching.  The organisers faced fund crunch.  One gentleman from a nearby village suggested that the organisers visit Mahaswami.  The organisers reached the Math and with Prayers to Mahaswami they explained to Him about the shortfall.  Mahaswami didn't say anything but asked them to wait.  In a few minutes, a duo Directors from a Car Manufacturing company with their Offering of RS. 50000/- sought the blessings from Mahaswami.  Mahaswami without touching the offerings directed the Directors to give the money to the organisers.

Another incident, parents of a girl about to get married came with invitation and prayed before Mahaswami. Parents didn't say anything. But Mahaswami could read their sadful faces.  He instructed the assistant to take note of their train coach, journey details and seat numbers. Their train was in the night. Just about an hour before the departure time of the train, a philanthropist came with an offering of RS.50000/ - to have darshan of Mahaswami. Mahaswami blessed and told the philanthropist to rush to the station and give the money to the parents of the girl waiting for marriage.

oṃ pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇātpurṇamudacyate
pūrṇaśya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate॥
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ॥

Mahaswami remains Mahaswami.
சரணம் சரணம்.
