ANNADANA PRABHU OF VAIKOM

Anon he spoke to her in the ethereal voice and advised to go herself to the temple and officiate as drummer. Fantastic! A woman drummer particularly at an important festival!! But how about the command from the above. She decided to obey the divine injunction. On the next day she took up the position and started. 

To the utter stupefaction of the priests and bystanders, she did her job to such perfection that her loud percussion sounds woke up the slumbering temple spirits, who approaching, demanded offerings from the priests with smacking Ups. What all this! How could she perform it in such masterly way? When and where did she practice? None knew, but Bhagawan Bhaktavasankar knew all, and readily did, what was needed. This illustrates how kind the lord is, and why the temple became so popular as a centre for instant success.
