Many years back on Vaikuntha Ekadasi day , a day of exceptional sanctity and the day the Holy scriptures describe it as the glorious day on which Lord Sri Maha Vishnu vouchsafes darshan to devotees at the northern gate away of his celestial abode.
Shri.Raja Reddy one of Swami's Oldest Devotees and the then care taker of Prashanti Nilayam was sleeping in the verandah on the first floor of Prashanthi Mandir, At about midnight he woke up and noticed through the slightly open doors of Swami's room, a very bright light illuminating the entire room and beyond. He wondered as why so much light was there at such an odd hour, and as he peeped through the gap between the doors, He was astonished to find several celestial beings taking turn to pay homage at the Lotus Feet of Swami. They emitted fantastic illumination, Swami was recling, like Lord Sri Maha Vishnu, on the bed provided by Adisesha, and was graciously accepting their homage. Seven fires were burning bright all around Swami's bed…... The vision startled Raja Reddy, He quickly drew the doors close and went back to his bed in the veranda….. He could not sleep no further. Next morning he mentioned to Swami about his heavenly experience and asked Swami, " Swami, who are all those persons ?" Swami explained, They are all celestial beings (Devathas ), They have come for My Darshan,What you saw in the form of flames are the Saptha Rishis rishis ). Swami also said " As I protect you by My blessings, you are still alive……. Otherwise, the moment you set your eyes on that scene, you would have been reduced to ashes !
