Sri Siva Siddhar Mona Swami Birthday Function


The below is a short pictorial history of Sri Siva Mona Siddhar Swami's 52nd Birthday, which was celebrated yesterday at his Ashram at Sethavarai Village, about 20 kms from Tiruvannamalai.

The function was well attended and started off early in the morning and continued onwards till about 2 p.m. that afternoon. Even though there was several functions during the day, Swami had time to meet and talk with his devotees. We were very fortunate in that the weather held nicely throughout the day.

Letters to Sri Siva Jothi Mona Siddhar Swami


The below three letters were sent to Swamiji from devotees explaining how he had and was changing their lives. 



Letter One: 
From: K.S. K and S.K., Villupuram District 

Sri Mona Siddhar Swami is a Living God. I came across an article in the newspaper and on the same day my family and I went to see Guruji by 8.00 p.m., that night. From that day until now we continue to visit Swamiji and my family and I are fully dedicated to him. 

Swamiji through his Grace and Blessings has protected us from several problems and possible financial losses. We have informed a number of people about him and those people have gone to visit him and receive his Blessings. 

My wife gives homeopathy and siddha consultations and after receiving Blessings from Swamiji she has become very good at giving her patients treatments and has cured several complicated ailments. This is became of Swamiji. 

I have two sons studying B.E. Mechanical Courses, both of them are successful and are studying well after they were blessed by Swamiji. I was renting out a property to a North Indian who used the premises to run a pawnbrokers shop. Suddenly he vacated. At that time I went to Swamiji to take his advice. Upon telling him what had occurred Swamiji gave me a handful of coins—my wife and I were shocked that he should do this. Then Swamiji informed us that we should start up a pawnbrokers business similar to the one left off by our previous North Indian tenant. We were totally taken back with Swamiji’s suggestion, because we don’t have any experience with such work. But as Swamiji told us to start up the business, we did so and started up a pawnbrokers shop in the premises previously occupied by our tenant. 

We started our business on 14.4.2013 and the shop’s name is Sri Siva Jothi Pawn Broker Shop. Now as we are learning about the business, it is improving slowly and beginning to go well. 

A person borrowed money from me on credit but did not pay it back in the agreed time. Suddenly one day the person came and returned the money saying, “A Swamiji’s image came in my dream and said to give back the money to you. On having the dream I was shocked and came here to return the loan.” He noticed a photo of Swamiji in our shop and he said that it was the same person who had come in his dream to order that the money should be returned. Then he asked us to escort him to Swamiji’s Ashram and we did so. He was happy to see Swamiji and he is now a good devotee. 

We are very much thankful to Swamiji

Letter Two: 
From: G.P.A, Tirupur 

Namaste to Guruji: 

For the past three years, I have been seeing your face but had never met you or seen you in person, but I always was able to internally see your face and feel your presence throughout the day. 

12.10.12 I was travelling from Erode from Chennai by train. On my journey I met a person named V.P.S. While talking I told him about seeing the face of a Swami, but didn’t know who it was as I had never met such a person. Suddenly V.P.S. showed me a picture. I was shocked to see that the picture was of the same Swami that I had been seeing for the last three years. I collected Swamiji’s address and details from V.P.S. 

17.10.12 Arranged to visit his Ashram. The day I saw him was a joyous moment. From that day onwards, I have been regularly visiting his Ashram and receiving his blessings. 



Letter Three: 
From: P. Murugan, Vettavalam 

For the past one-and-a-half years I have been visiting Swamiji. Before that I never met any Swamiji like him or experienced such an Ashram as his. I was living as my wish, not giving respect to anyone, and not taking care of my parents, wife and children. Things were going like this. Suddenly I had a severe health problem and everything got struck down. I went to local doctors who sent me to a major hospital for tests and it was confirmed that I have C.M.L., (Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia). At that moment I started to feel very bad about the sort of life I had been living and felt that I had lost everything. 

I then started to turn towards spiritual things and began to follow Ramalinga Swamigal’s guidance and started to avoid eating non-vegetarian food. Later my elder sister informed me about Swamiji at Sethavari and requested me to visit him. By taking up her words I came to Sethavari to have darshan of Guruji. On the first visit itself I felt a change and started feeling better. I saw a light of flame in Swamiji’s eyes and informed him about my health problem. After hearing of my trouble, Swamiji said he would take care of me. He instructed me to take a certain herb daily which would cure my health problems. I have followed Swamiji’s directions and am now living happily and in good health.
