BHAGAWATHI OF GHENGANNUR

The penitent officer at once decided to donate a sum of Rs.700/- the amount spent usually for it every year from his own savings. And it is said that it is being received from his successor even today. Indeed a great punishment! Better atonement!! Best historic proof!!!

Another! In the recent year; one Tahsildar of Changannur, a pious officer, performed in an elaborate manner a 28-day-Utsavam with pomp and splendour. During this period, the Mother had menses. The officer with a view to completing the Utsavam as planned, turned a blind eye to the occurrence and hushed it up using his official powers. Could he hoodwink the omnipresent MOTHER? Would she endure this desecretion? Result: His wife had profuse bleeding. 

Unusual and Untimely too. Enlightened by Munro's experience, he offered special pujas as an act of atonement. His wife got relief. So the belief gained currency and fortified the potency of the MOTHER and respect for age-old belief. Would any heckling 'ISM' blink at this? With what could it measure that divine sport? It is not literature to set aside labeling it as fevered flight of imagination, but pure history recorded with distilled facts and dates at it. Skepticism or agnosticism must remove the coloured glasses soon; for getting better perspective for their own benefit first.
