concluded: "God himself came here to cure me of my ego. How grateful am I for his
grace!"
Jappesa the elder brother became so envious of the popularity of Thyagaraja that one day
he stole the idols of Rama, Sita and other deities and threw them in the Kaveri river
unknown to anyone.
Thyagaraja became heart-broken on missing them and prayed to Sri Rama in songs to return
the idols.
One night Sri Rama appeared in his dream and pointed out the exact spot in the river where
the idols lay.
In the morning Thyagaraja went to that spot and recovered all the Idols. After due
purificatory ceremonies, he started worshipping them as before. |
