1967 - This information was told to me by my mother and confirmed by her relatives. Also confirmed by my father's friend who was a photographer for my parents wedding.
My grandfather had gone to meet Periyaval with my parents wedding invitation. (My parents had very late marriage considering the Tamil Brahmin society in those days). When the invitation was placed formally to Him, He said, "I will come for the wedding". This is not a norm for a Sanyasin. But for those who have seen / known Periyaval, this is an extraordinary statement.
Did He come for the marriage? What happened in the marriage hall ?
Wait for it.... :-)
PS: Disallowing comments as the Web has bunch of intellectuals with tremendous intelligence.
