Darshan to Congress Volunteers
When Swamigal was camping at Arani, a group of two hundred Congress workers wished to have his darshan. Those were the peak days of the struggle for freedom. The British government would come down on anyone who showed any hospitality to Congress volunteers or Congressmen. Hence the officials of the mutt hesitatingly informed Swamigal about the request of the Congress volunteers. Swamigal immediately asked the mutt officials to allow them to come in to the mutt and have darshan of Swamigal as well as the mutt’s resident deities, Sri Chandramouliswarar and Tripurasundari Ambal. Later he met with each Congress worker individually, enquired about their occupation etc., and gave them prasad. Food was provided to all of them in the mutt itself that day. The British government did not create any problems for the mutt on this account.
