Greatness of Periyava Judge Kailasam and his wife were so devoted to Periyavaa that they used to follow Him wherever He camped. In the late 80s Periyavaa was travelling from Andhra border to Karnataka/Maharashtra and He was camping in a small hut in a place called Mahagaon on the banks of Krishna River. I had the privilege of His darsahn there..One had to get down near Cuddapah and go by an auto nearly 10 km. On this day Judge Kailasam and Mrs Kailasam had come for His Darshan. Periyavaa used to be in a very jovial mood in those places and after darshan Judge Kailasam (he had retired by then and was in many Govt Committees and was on his way to Bombay for a meeting..)asked Periyavaa for Utharavu(permission to leave) Periyavaa smiled and asked him:Why you are in a hurry?When is the meeting in Bombay? Judge:Only day after tomorrow .But I have reserved the tickets by the evening train from Cuddapah. Periyavaa:Today is Pradosham.You better stay here and go tomorrow since you have the meeting only day after. Judge:With Periyavaas permission I wd like to go today itself as planned. Mrs.Kailasam interferes and says:When Periyavaa says stay back better cancel the tkts,we can go tomorrow.I wish to stay back.. so devoted she is to Periyavaa! Judge decides to stay back..His assistants helped him to book a tkt for the next day train! The train which he was supposed to travel met with a major accident next to Cuddapah and nearly 220 died! This incident was narrated by none other than Mrs.Kailsam herself in a 116th Jaynathi function held in old Eros Theatre(LB Road Adyar) and this lady was uncontrollably sobbing on that day also!
