*APPEARING IN PERSON.* *Sundara Saamanthan was the senaapthy of Kulabooshana Paandian.He was sincere devotee of the devotees of Siva.*
*Sedhiraayan was the ruler of a small territory. He became puffed with pride and ego and challenged the Paandian king. He was planning a battle on Paandian kingdom.* *Kulabooshana Paandian wanted to strengthen his army and keep them in good shape for the forthcoming battle.* *He told Saamanthan, his army chief, that any amount of money was permitted to be used to recruit new swordsmen from different countries.* *Saamanthan took a huge sum of money but started spending it in charitable work and feeding the Siva bhakthas. The news reached the king through the spies appointed by him.* *The king told Saamanthan to parade the new recruits of the army the next day. Saamanthan was in deep trouble since he would not be able to show a single new recruit.* *Siva promised him to be there at the appointed time with a talented, spirited and well equipped army.* *The Siva ganaas became the soldiers on foot. The leaders of the Siva ganaas became the soldiers on horse back. Siva transformed Nandhi into a beautiful horse and himself became a sevagan!* *The excellent army arrived at the appointed time. The king was duly impressed and became very pleased.Nandhi turned into horse performed the various strides and king presented Siva the sevgan with several gifts.* *Then the news reached them that Sedhiraayan had been killed by a tiger and the battle has been called off. The king told the new recruits that they might return home. Immediately every one vanished without a trace!* *Kulabooshana Paandian understood it as the divine drama of Lord Siva.He allowed Sundara Saamanthan to continue his charitable work as before.* <http://groups.yahoo.com/subscribe/worldmalayaliclub/> *வாழிய செந்தமிழ்! வாழ்க நற்றமிழர்! * *வாழிய பாரதமணித் திருநாடு! * * V A N A K K A M S U B B U * * [image: Nantawan N] * -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
