She arranged for electrification at Ramanashramam, and also had a bathroom built for ladies. She was moved by the plight of the poor, and had wells dug, and gifted food, oil etc. She was spontaneously generous, and would gift gold chains to Goddesses in temples. She came to Bhagavan and related her state, and by the grace of Bhagavan she was able to get relief. Subsequently, she had the experience of Kundalini rising and was unable to bear its force. He soothed her anguish and conveyed to her that he was her Guru. On another occasion, she fell at his feet when he was near the Goshala (cowshed) and poured out her anguish. It is believed that he gave her and her husband a copy of Malayalam ‘Upadesa Saram’ and asked them to read it.
