Mudaliar Swami, son of the lady who brings bhiksha every day to Sri Bhagavan, related the following interesting incident:
While Sri Bhagavan was staying in Virupakshi Cave Sri Bhagavan and Mudaliar Swami were walking together behind the Skandasramam site. There was a huge rock about 15 feet high; it was cleft, a girl—(a shepherdess)— was standing there crying. Sri Bhagavan asked the reason of her sorrow. She said, “A sheep of mine has slipped into this cleft; so I am crying.” Sri Bhagavan descended into the cleft, took the sheep on his shoulders, climbed up to the surface and delivered the sheep to her. Mudaliar Swami says that it was a very remarkable feat for any human being.
