Sivakami is Lord Siva's Parvathi. Though I had known Sivakami Amma, about whom is this note, for nearly five decades as my Gurupathni and also as my mother's friend I never knew her name. Yes, Sivakami Amma is Iyer Sar's wife. Sivakami and Anantha Siva Iyer. What greater match?
A week ago I had my mobile phone ringing displaying an unsaved number. I was dumbfounded hearing a graceful dignified feminine voice "monae, Iyer Sarinte bharya aanu" (son, I am Iyer Sir's wife). She went on "I asked Ramani (her son) to give me a printout of your blog. Son, I read it over and over again. Every day I read it ever since I read it first last week ....... many a time and I will start crying. Then Ramany will snatch away the printout from me. Son, my joy knows no bounds reading your adoration for Sir. I feel like seeing him ..... as if he stands before me. Son, I feel humbled .... I am the wife of such a highly venerated person. Son, while talking to you my eyes are overflowing with tears of joy. God bless you"
By this time I too was crying. I felt like Iyer Sar blessing me. Had a sense of fulfilment. Could not have asked for more.
