From the time The Avatar was in the most tender form as a small child, Raju Mudaliar, His maternal grandfather, was graced by being among the few who truly know His identity. Though the grandfather Raju Mudaliar and divine grandson, Rajashekaran, shared a name, the grandfather only saw Him as his own higher identity and thus, Raju Mudaliar called Him lovingly as “Swami” (or “Sami” as per the local dialect), just as the locals would endearingly and respectfully call their revered Guru. As it was started by the head of the family himself, the habit of calling the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism (SPH) "Swami" or "Sami" permeated throughout the whole family, from the very beginning of the life of SPH. https://ift.tt/3nEqNRj
