During 1979-80s I was working as a booking clerk in Railways in a place called "Satara" in Maharashtra, where Kanchi MahaPeriyava had camped for a year or so.  I was having shift duties of one week day and one week night. Mostly Tamilians from Bombay coming for "Dharsan" won't find difficulties to reach the camp since they were knowing Hindi or Marathi.  The camp was in the city which is 7 kms from station.  The Auto Drivers were knowing only Marathi to speak.  Devotees from South used to suffer,especially those who arrived at night times.  They would like to have "Visva Rupa Dharsan" of Maha Periyava which may be any time in between 3 a.m. to 5 a.m.

So, I used to have adjustments with my colleagues and remain continuously on night duties.  So on arrival of every train,I used to identify our men, make bargains with Autowalas and see them reaching the destination correctly.(No cell phones those days.  All were strangers to me.  During day hours I would be at the exit point to guide them,since my quarters was by the side of the station.  Everybody was appreciating my selfless service and it went to such an extent that Periyava used to ask Devotees " ரயில்வே சந்திர சேகரன் அனுப்பினானா ? "

Why I say this in this context is "Helping a stranger has a greater value in mankind".  When my wife gave birth to my son Maha Periyava sent a Sastrighal to my house to perform "Punyavachanam"
