Very beautifully told. I forwarded this post to my family and 
friends. Here is a response from my uncle:

"I have a very similar experience. Amma, Chitra and I were in 
Srirangapatnam and we had an Iyengar friend, Varadarajan, who 
insisted that we go to Melkottai. The night prior, Amma developed 
fever and her kness swelled and she spent a sleepless night. 
Melkottai has to be climbed and we were seriously thinking of 
cancelling the visit even though the climb is only a few hundred 
feet. But Amma said let us try and so went. We were late and were 
almost certain that we will miss the darisanam. But then Perumal 
waited for us and we were blessed with a unique experience of a 
Sandana kappu which we were told is very rare at around noon 
when we reached there. And Amma's kal vali was gone!
(Of course, this is several years old.. around 1964!)
