Another
piece of information I wish to share with you is - I have in hand
similar episodes having identical results - all but focusing light
on the marvellous changes effected by miracles in the lives of
aliens. Europeans and Muslims; but I have not given them space here,
since that scanty information available could not visualise the
glory of the demonstrators of miracles to the hard-core critics in
particular. Yet I am tempted to quote a few here that fortified the
faith of the pious in that Invisible Almighty. It is about Thomas
Munro, an English man who officiated as collector in several places
in Andhra Pradesh. His magnanimity in quashing the resumption of
Jagir by British was narrated already in the episode occurred at
Brindavan in Mantralayam and his seeing H.H.Raghavendraswamy in
person.
He
was a staunch believer in deism and adored gods more than any common
Hindu. He built temples, and encouraged renovation work with unusual
tenacity. His toleration and respect for other religious was highly
evolved to that extent of receiving highest honours from the
uncompromising orthodox brahmins. It is recorded that he enjoyed the
vision of divinities and heard the aerial voices more often than
not. The elite of the then society not only held him in esteem, but
took guidance for the performance of prayer services and conducting
devotional activities. In fine, his glorious career set examples to
the sense-buried people.
