Curse to Bless

In 1970...........

My name is Sumithra. I am living at Kumbakonam, a town in Thanjavur District. I got married at the age of 16. I have six daughters and a son namely Saroja, Sundari, Shanthi, Shenbakam, Sangeetha, Shailaja and Shankar. My husband is a silk saree weaver. In our house we always have a deficit budget like as the Government. My husband is only bread winner of our family. Due to shortage of income we frequently change our house. My health is allowed to help my spouse. My children were going to school. We decided that our children should study at least 5th standard. The school fees are very nominal. The children are growing up.

I go to work as a catering assistant. It starts from 3 p.m. of previous day of marriage and ends at 6 p.m. of the marriage day. I want to feed my daughters with different types and taste of foods therefore I choose the job because in marriages leftover food are distributed to the catering assistants.

My children request to take to Kumbeshwaran temple. I know the reason. They were willing to go to temple not only for the bhakthi but also to purchase rings, bangles etc. My husband took our children with the condition that not to ask anything. So children requested to come with me instead of father. All were saving money without knowing others. All wanted to give surprise at the time of temple visit.

Veeraasaami lived in this area. He has 3 sons & 1 daughter. He is running a hotel business. The hotel is nearby retail vegetable market. The customers are small vendors and coolies. His wife Vathsala is such an arrogant personality. At that time, every home allotted small area outside the residence called pial. She sits on pial and passing comments those moving to job, purchase etc. The comment is always in a bad manner. She comments even to school going children. Nobody replied her because of afraid. Her sons are hoodlum. They slap to anyone without knowing the facts and are ready to go to jail if their mother complaints against somebody. Few such incidents have already held.

Vathsala’s daughter’s name is Jalaja. She is famous in the area of her swimming ability. She is able to drown in the river for 100 counts. She is the youngest of all in the family but all give respect to her as an elder person. She never misuses it. She condemned her brothers for their immoral activities.

The Assistant cook work is very hectic and the wages is also less. I learnt some techniques from Master cook. I decided to start my own idly business at my home. Some days all idlies were sold and insufficient for us to consume. Some days it doesn’t get sold. Those days we consume the idilies for lunch and dinner too. Some of the area residents who were previous customer of Veerasaami’s hotel supported me a lot. I speak sweetly and the customers doesn’t matter the waiting time. Cost and distance of other hotels bring more customers to me. I prepare vadas and bhajji after finishing my idly business. The business of other vendors reduced sizeably. It made jealous for Vathsala.

One Sunday I decided to take my children to temple. As usual Vathsala sits on pial. As we cross Vathsala’s residence, she loudly says “I will become success in any business; I doesn’t wander for capital because I have capital”. I realised the real meaning. I got upset for being and unable to do anything. I cried in my mind. I wanted to return home immediately after listening those words. But avoid to do so as my children may be upset. I hid my weeping. My son noticed that and request he wants go to toilet immediately. Therefore we returned home. He went to toilet and returns. He complained his stomach pain. My children noticed my face and realised something went wrong. We cancelled the plan to visit the temple. I went to pooja room. I loudly told, “I may be punished if I have done anything wrong otherwise punish the concern”.

*************

I wake up at 5’ O clock in the morning daily. But the next day I woke up at 4’O clock. I went to Kaveri river for taking bath. I went to nearby temple with wet clothes and prayed “O God, I will be punished if I have done anything wrong otherwise punish the concern”. The prayer is continued for another 48 days. On 49th day, Alas! Jalaja died in the swirl of Kaveri river at the time of swimming. I am unable to believe as the child had the ability to swim and drown for long time.

*************

On the next day I met my guru and told him from start to end. Guru said that it was co-incidence. I was crying a lot. I repeatedly told the incident took place because of my curse. Guru solaces me. Finally every incident is pre decided in this world. You are only an instrument. You know how much curse the concern family has? You put 50 grams of weight and take responsible for whole one kilogram. You used the thought force to take revenge. The same may be used for your wealth.

*************

From the next day I pray for our family’s wealth. Later I started chit fund business. It became success after facing small problems in the preliminary stage. Now we are one of the best chit funds in the town. All my daughters got married. I choose my son-in-laws on the basis of their honesty instead of wellness. I changed my attitude from cursing to blessing. Vathsala’s family also changed their attitude after the incident. Now all are living happily.
