The meeting of divine minds.
The seemingly mysterious designs and plans that the Siddhas conjure and bring to fruition are beyond human logical comprehension until much later when it all makes sense! The 'chance' meeting of Kodi Thatha and Ummachi Thatha (Maha Periyavaa) on the National Highway in the outer suburb of Chennai is most definitely a case in point.
Under Kodi Thatha's divine instructions, Kumbabhishekam happened at Thabovanam temple in Perungudi on March 8, 2020. Following this, we embarked on a journey to Dhanushkodi with Kodi Thatha's statue for installation and consecration on March 10, 2020. The unexpected meeting of the Great Mahans occurred on the morning of March 9, leaving us in a state of profound awe!

As we journeyed, we noticed the passengers in a car in front of us were keenly observing our Kodi Thatha, who was seated majestically dressed like a King. Suddenly, both vehicles stopped next to each other.
When we descended, we were amazed that the other car had idols and portraits of Mahaa Periyavaa! The unexpectedness of this encounter left us all surprised and intrigued.
While the two Great Mahans met in solemn silence, we mortals exchanged pleasantries and marvelled at the unusual occasion. It all happened quickly, impromptu, We left without exchanging contact details, with Mr.Thanamkodi Radhakrishnan, not realising then that this was the first step in a spiritual journey guided by divine souls.

March 18, 2020, Perungudi, Chennai
Upon our return from Dhanushkodi, a second meeting of the Mahans took place on March 18, 2020. In a twist of fate, Mr. Radhakrishnan found himself visiting a Mahaperiyavaa devotee in Perungudi with the Padhugai of Mahaperiyava.
When he mentioned Kodi Thatha, the devotee revealed that Kodi Thatha's temple was nearby. Mr. Radhakrishnan visited the temple with the Padhugai. Upon setting foot at Thabovanam, a divine presence immediately enveloped him, and he even had visions of ancient temple statues.
During this visit, we discussed and exchanged information. Mr Radhakrishnan narrated his divine mission—to build a temple for Mahaperiyava and Ambal at Sri Periyavapuram near Koovathur—where our trust maintains a goshala! Even at this stage, we did not connect the coincidence and understood that this was all part of a much bigger plan!

Sixteen years ago, one of our temple staff, Mrs. Padma, had a prophetic dream. In her dream, she saw Bama Balaji standing before an ancient Shiva temple at Nedumaram village in Koovathur, offering Annadhanam to the villagers. Click to read more
We commenced Annadhanam at this village on February 18, 2022, and this practice has been going on every Saturday, every pournami & amavasai since then.
The calling of the divine.
Later, in 2021, towards the end of Tamil month, Aadi, Kodi Thatha informed us cryptically that He was going to be in a temple that would come up near Koovathur at a place called Paalayam. We were mystified! As if in answer, Kodi Thatha referred us to our chance meetings before and instructed us to contact Mr Radhakrishnan specifically on August 22, 2021 (Avani Avittam) to inform him of Kodi Swamigal's divine wish of placing him inside the shrine along with Shirdi Sai Baba in the upcoming temple at Periyavapuram.
The meeting with Mr. Radhakrishnan took place at Thabovanam on the appointed day. When informed about Kodi Thatha's wishes, Mr Radhakrishnan responded: "If the mighty protecting God is coming, what more incredible blessing can there be? "

After several seemingly unrelated events, but well orchestrated by Kodi Swamigal himself, on May 03, 2023, Kumbaabhishekam of the temple happened, and as said by Kodi Swamigal himself, he sat on the altar along with Shirdi Sai Baba and Kaarai Siddhar at Periyavapuram.
