This is a record of how a ten-year-old child named Magathi, with her good intentions and faith in God, achieved the event of her aunt’s marriage within 21 days through the positive vibrations she possessed.
Leave Application.
For Magathi, who was in fifth grade, that year was when the concept of a leave application was introduced in her school. After it was introduced, the children in her class began habitually taking leave by citing one reason or another. Seeing this, Magathi also developed a desire to take leave. However, since her grandfather had been the headmaster of the same school before retiring, he considered taking leave from school a wrong act and prevented her from doing so for any reason.
The thought of taking leave had deeply rooted itself in her mind. At the same time, because her friends took leave under the pretext of marriages, the idea that a marriage should happen in her family—and that she too should take leave from school—took hold in her mind. As a result, the desire to write a leave application became firmly etched in her thoughts every single day.
Magathi’s Aunt’s Consolation.
Every day, she would recount the events that happened at school with some mental distress. Her aunt would console her, saying that a time would come when she too could take leave, calming her down. Her friend Dhanam was taking leave for her uncle’s marriage. Her classmate submitted a leave application saying it was for his aunt’s marriage and told Magathi about it. Since Magathi also had an aunt, the thought that she could take leave only if her aunt got married took root in her mind.
Because of this, she stubbornly insisted at home that her aunt should get married, even crying about it. Every day, seeing this behavior, her mother, overwhelmed with frustration, slapped her on the back. Later, her aunt’s consolation calmed her down.
Magathi’s aunt had the habit of tutoring some children at home. Magathi would sit with her aunt and study, a routine she followed. Because of this, she would score the highest marks in school.
Her father worked as a teacher in a school in the neighboring town. He left every morning before she woke up and returned only after she had gone to sleep, so she could only spend time with him during school holidays.
At other times, her days were spent with her grandmother, grandfather, mother, and aunt. Since her aunt had a slight disability in her leg, she couldn’t move freely on her own. She could only walk slowly, leaning on someone for support, which is why her aunt hadn’t gotten married. But Magathi longed and waited for her aunt to get married, believing that only then could she write a leave application.
Bhagirathi Paatti’s Prayer.
Because Magathi caused distress to everyone at home by insisting that she wanted to write a leave application only if her aunt got married, and got scolded for it, that evening she went to the temple with her grandmother. When people there asked who Magathi was, her grandmother said she was her granddaughter, and Magathi introduced herself, saying her name was Magathi.
A new lady came to the temple that day. Seeing the gathered people, she asked what was going to happen there. When they told her about Bhagirathi Paatti, the lady introduced herself, saying she had just moved to the town because her son had been transferred here, and sat with them.
When Bhagirathi Paatti arrived and asked who Magathi was, Magathi’s grandmother said she was her granddaughter. Immediately, Magathi said her name was Magathi, that her aunt had given her the name, and cried to Paatti that she wanted her aunt to get married. Paatti told her that a marriage would come and to wait with faith, assuring her it would definitely happen. Because of these hopeful words, Magathi held onto that faith strongly.
Paatti’s Explanation About Marriage.
Magathi’s grandmother explained why her daughter hadn’t gotten married. She said her daughter had a disability, and because of it, her marriage hadn’t happened. Moreover, some had asked for a higher dowry citing her disability, and her daughter had decided she didn’t want such a marriage.
They had given up on efforts for her marriage and hadn’t conducted it. After her son’s marriage and Magathi’s birth, her daughter’s life had been spent with Magathi, and the thought of marriage had left her, said the grandmother.
She added that her daughter had also crossed the age for marriage. Paatti responded that there’s no age limit for marriage, explaining that a life partner means someone who can be a companion in old age, living together affectionately, saying, “I’m here for you, and you’re here for me.” Beyond raising children and their care, when the heart yearns for a companion in old age, a marriage might not happen if rushed. She advised them to look slowly, saying if a suitable match is found and arranged, loneliness would not exist in their lives.
The Thiruppugazh Song Paatti Mentioned.
Paatti said not to give up effort and instructed them to sing a Thiruppugazh song she would tell them for 21 days, 21 times each day, at the same time every day—starting from whatever time they sang it on the first day. She emphasized that layered red oleander flowers were essential, describing them as looking like roses.
Each day, they should offer a naivedyam, and on the 21st day, they should complete the prayer by offering milk payasam as naivedyam. She said if they sang the Thiruppugazh with faith, Lord Murugan would surely arrange a marriage for their children.
She assured them that with faith in this prayer, within 21 days, children who had refused marriage would agree to it. If not, those who had rejected proposals would return, or someone would bring news that there’s a girl or boy in a certain place—some marriage-related information would definitely come, she said confidently.
She told them to wake up in the morning, bathe, draw a kolam at the entrance, light a lamp, and place a picture of Thiruchendur Murugan prominently in the prayer room. Using as many layered red oleander flowers as possible—either as a garland or just one or two—they should apply sandalwood and kumkum to the picture of Thiruchendur Murugan, offer the flowers, recite a Ganesha mantra, and then sing the Thiruppugazh song “Neelangol Megathin Mayil Meedhe Nee Vandha Vaazhvaik Kandadhanaale” 21 times for 21 days with faith.
Magathi’s Grandmother Begins the Prayer.
Following Bhagirathi Paatti’s instructions, Magathi’s grandmother started the prayer the next day with great faith. She completed it at the same time every day. With much joy, she circled each day on the calendar hanging in their house.
On the night of the 21st day, Lord Murugan appeared in Magathi’s dream, saying her aunt’s marriage would happen and spoke kind words. When she asked if the marriage would happen on the 21st day, He assured her it would definitely happen, blessed the child, and left.
Startled, the child woke up and told her grandmother what happened. She took her grandmother to the prayer room, saying this was the one who appeared in her dream, and a spark of faith grew in her grandmother’s heart.
Magathi’s Grandmother Completes the Prayer.
On the 21st day, after completing the prayer, the grandmother saw Magathi awake and asked why she hadn’t slept. The child, full of faith, said, “No, my aunt’s marriage is happening today—how can I sleep?” As she got ready for school, sitting near the picture of Thiruchendur Murugan they had worshipped, Magathi asked if she could tell her friends at school that her aunt’s marriage would happen today. At that moment, the garland on Murugan tilted to one side and fell. Seeing this, Magathi was shocked and cried.
Whenever a prayer is offered to a deity and the garland falls or the flowers drop, it’s considered a sign that the prayer will be fulfilled—and that’s what happened in that family.
The School Inspector’s Visit.
That day, a school education inspector was visiting, so all the children were told to come in clean, neat clothes, and they did. An inspector named Narasimhan came to the school for the inspection.
After checking each class, he came to Magathi’s class and asked what their desires were. Each child wrote their wish in their notebook. Magathi wrote that she wanted to write a leave application for her aunt’s marriage, requesting 10 days off, and that this was her desire.
Amazed that such a wish could exist, he inquired further. Magathi confidently said her aunt Maithili’s marriage was happening today and the groom would come. The other children laughed loudly. Seeing them laugh, Magathi shrank in embarrassment.
Narasimhan scolded the children and asked Magathi if the marriage would definitely happen today, saying, “Let it happen, let it happen,” before leaving the class. After finishing the inspection and returning home, Narasimhan told his parents what had happened at school.
Narasimhan’s Mother’s Desire.
Narasimhan, past marriageable age, had arranged marriages for his four younger sisters and let time pass without thinking of his own marriage. He had also decided that his sisters were enough for him, so thoughts of marriage had faded. But that very day, his mother had completed the same prayer Bhagirathi Paatti had described. Since finishing it, Magathi’s grandmother kept coming to her mind.
She remembered Magathi’s grandmother saying Maithili hadn’t married because of her leg disability. She asked Narasimhan if he would marry the child’s aunt, wondering if he’d reject her due to her disability. He said he had no such thoughts and wanted to help the child somehow, agreeing to marry the girl.
Worried his sisters might think something, Narasimhan was reassured by his mother’s words. She said his sisters were selfish and not to rely on them, that her wish was to arrange a companion for him before she and his father passed away.
When he said he felt shy marrying at this age, she replied that there’s no age limit for marriage—that a companion is needed in old age, be it a man or woman—and that she’d heard this from Bhagirathi Paatti, not herself.
Narasimhan’s Visit with His Parents.
Magathi came home from school and told them what happened. When asked why she wrote that, she said she wrote what was in her heart and that the man who came to school said it would happen. Then, with her grandmother, she went to the temple to see Bhagirathi Paatti, to ask if the marriage would happen that day as Paatti had said it would on the 21st day.
Magathi told Paatti what happened at home. Paatti said she’d completed the prayer that day, offered milk payasam, and shared it with everyone. Magathi told her about Murugan appearing in her dream and the garland falling at home.
At that moment, Narasimhan arrived at the temple. The child eagerly went to talk to him. Meanwhile, Narasimhan’s mother told Bhagirathi Paatti she wanted her son to marry Magathi’s aunt. Paatti was delighted. Magathi’s grandmother suggested they pick a good day to visit, but since it was already a good day and both had completed the prayer, they all decided to go to Magathi’s house with Bhagirathi Paatti that day.
Magathi’s Happiness.
When Narasimhan’s family and Bhagirathi Paatti arrived, Magathi ran to her grandfather with great joy to tell him. She introduced Narasimhan to her aunt, saying the marriage had come today and that the man who visited her school was here. After the marriage talks concluded and they planned to see the bride, they said there was no need to trouble her—they’d go see her where she was, and entered Maithili’s room.
Narasimhan held the hand of Maithili, who struggled to stand on her own. He assured her he liked her and would be her companion, and everyone rejoiced.
Narasimhan’s Words to Magathi.
After seeing Maithili, everyone came out of the room happily. Narasimhan’s father asked Bhagirathi Paatti to exchange betel leaves and areca nuts, saying she was the reason for this marriage and should lead it.
Paatti exchanged the betel leaves and left happily. Narasimhan told Magathi that the wedding date would soon be announced through Paatti, and she should happily write a leave application for 10 days, saying it was for her aunt’s marriage.
Magathi’s Action Before Lord Murugan.
After everyone discussed fixing the wedding date and left, Magathi went straight to the prayer room. She told the prominently placed picture of Thiruchendur Murugan that her aunt’s marriage had come and thanked Him. With tears of joy, she said “Thank you, thank you” many times.
After the wedding date was fixed, Magathi joyfully wrote the leave application, submitted it to school, and celebrated the marriage happily. The wedding concluded well, and their life was filled with great happiness.
The Karmas of This Story.
In this story, Mars karma prominently affects Maithili, which is why she couldn’t accept the word “disability” when it came to marriage, and she also rejected dowry demands, preventing her marriage.
As time passed, she decided she didn’t want marriage. But when her mother performed the prayer Bhagirathi Paatti described, the positive vibration of that Mars karma ensured the marriage was fixed within 21 days.
Next, Jupiter karma was casting a positive vibration in the family because Maithili’s father had been a headmaster before retiring, Maithili tutored children at home, her brother taught at a school in the neighboring town, and her future husband worked in education—thus, Jupiter karma brought positive vibrations to the family.
Mercury karma also cast a positive vibration because Magathi studied well. Due to Mercury’s positive influence, Lord Murugan appeared in her dream with good words, and it came true.
Her deep devotion and positive vibrations led her to believe and repeatedly say at home that a marriage would happen in 21 days, and because of that positive vibration, her wish came true.
Due to the negative vibration of Saturn karma in the family, Maithili was born with a disability. When that disability was pointed out as a flaw, her marriage didn’t happen. But since Narasimhan didn’t see it as a big deal, he married her without making it an issue.
Venus karma continuously cast its positive vibration in the family. That’s why the child showed immense affection toward her aunt. The family lived happily, giving way to each other, and women were respected, so Venus karma kept spreading positive vibrations.
When the state of prayer arose, their wish was fulfilled, and marriage arrangements happened within 21 days, showing Venus karma’s positive vibration in the family.
Moon karma’s positive vibration was also present, which is why they treated each other with love and affection, reflecting Moon karma’s positive influence.
Bhagirathi Paatti’s Shortcoming.
After Maithili and Narasimhan’s marriage, everyone came to the temple as usual. Paatti asked everyone if only these two had performed her prayer correctly and succeeded in the marriage. She asked why others hadn’t done it properly and if they’d failed to complete it correctly.
Some said they hadn’t done it continuously—some days they did, some days they couldn’t. One said they did it for 20 days but couldn’t on the 21st due to illness and gave up.
Paatti asked if they’d begun each day thinking of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, as she’d instructed. They said no.
Paatti told them to start with Ganesha slokas this time before singing the Thiruppugazh song she’d taught. She assured them that if they did so, they’d surely get some marriage-related news within 21 days. They happily agreed, thanked Paatti, and left.
Om Shri Ganesharpanam.
