Treatments administered by Sri Veturi Prabhakara Sastri Garu
Dr.Ramachandra Rao is the eldest son-in-law of Gurudev Sri Veturi Prabhakara Sastri (1888-1950), an Eminent Telugu Literary Critic, Epigraphist and Orientalist of South India. As an Organizing Committee Member of Veturi Prabhakara Sastri Memorial Trust, he also served on the Editorial Committee of Manimanjari Periodical of the Trust. As an ardent Follower and Practitioner of Bhrikta Rahita Taraka Raja Yoga of Master CVV (1868-1922), Kumbakonam, he recorded Several Case Histories of People Suffering from Chronic and Terminal Diseases being Treated and Cured by Sri Veturi Prabhakara Sastri through the Practice of Master C.V.V. Yoga at Chennai and Tirupati.
1. Ascites:
Sri Kondubhatlu, a purohit, was suffering from Ascites in 1930. He came to Madras and stayed with Sri Prabhakara Sastri, who was his maternal uncle’s son. He underwent prayer treatment. A few days after both his legs got swollen and two days later urine was passed in large quantities. Legs became normal in size. This happened two or three more times, and after three weeks the ascites disappeared. He felt normal about the stomach, ate well and felt happy. Yet he began to doubt whether the relief was due to prayer at all, whether it was all a coincidence, only! And there was a relapse. He became repentant. The treatment was given again. Relief came in the same manner as before. He felt very grateful to Sri Sastri and remains so even to date (1947). He is healthy and has been doing his religious duties ever since.
2. Stone in the Kidney:
In 1934 Dr.Durga Nageswara Rao of Machilipatnam, suffered from severe bouts of colic and pain and X-ray showed the presence of stone in the kidney. He was advised to get nephrectomy and came to Madras. He was hesitating on account of risk associated with surgery. On some friend’s suggestion he approached Sri Prabhakara Sastri and requested for Yoga treatment. After a few sessions at prayer the stone passed out in bits in the urine spread over 5 or 6 days.
During the process, the doctor (patient) had agonizing pain and bleeding. He bore with it vis-à-vis the risks involved with surgery. In a few days' treatment he got quite normal and returned home. The X-ray revealed the absence of stone in the kidney. Some months later he had the same type of pain and colic in the other kidney. He immediately came to Madras and had prayer treatment again and obtained relief.
3. Tuberculosis of the Lung:
The daughter of Sri Cherukuvada Narasimham had tuberculosis of both the lungs in a very
advanced stage. She was brought to Madras (1937) (?). She was declared to be in a very dangerous state and no hopes were entertained. She was brought to Sri Sastri for treatment. She had relief gradually day by day and within three weeks’ time she was completely cured.
She returned to her husband a little later. They live in Ramachandrapuram, E.Godavari Dist. She is hale and healthy and is a mother of a few children. The first born was named after Sri Sastri.
4. Asthma:
Mr. V.R.Viramani, now Reader in History in the Andhra University was suffering from a severe type of asthma somewhere about 1933. He had it in a milder form for some years earlier before that. His doctor at Bangalore declared that he could not help him and that he would advise him to spend the rest of his life in a sanatorium, taking absolute rest. Mr.Viramani came to Madras and underwent treatment by Mr. Sastri. In a fortnight he felt very much better and gained in weight. The Bangalore doctor was surprised to see him improved and testified to the wonderful progress. Mr. V was completely cured. Whenever there is a relapse, however slight or severe Mr. V intimates Sri Sastri by wire or letter and gets cured after some treatment. Mr. V. is taking it at his place at specified times of the day.
5. Nephritis:
Miss Sujata, daughter of Sri Sastri, had nephritis some time in 1937. Her face, legs and body were swollen and she was not passing urine. After treatment for nearly a week she recovered completely and was normal in health a few days after.
6. Gastric Ulcer:
Sri Venkateswarulu, Vakil, Machilipatnam, was suffering from a severe ulcer in the stomach. He could not eat anything solid, not even liquid food he could contain. He was very much reduced. He came to Sri Sastri for treatment. After a few sessions he began to eat jilebii and after ten or twelve days began to eat normally, even very hot foods. He picked up weight and returned home. He is quite alright now.
7. Chorea or St Vitus's dance:
Mr V.V.Subrahmanyam, son of Mr. Vissa Appa Rao, had a severe attack of Chorea. Early in 1940. The boy was unable to stand or walk or swallow or eat. The limbs in particular and the whole body in general were incessantly in motion except during sleep. The heart dilated. Dr.Kutumbaiah was treating and there was not much improvement. Sri Sastri treated the boy for a week. There was some improvement. The treatment continued for three weeks and the boy was perceptibly better as testified by Dr.Kutumbaiah. The boy was sent to Sri Sastri at Tirupati and a few months after he could move about a little. One year after he was much better and gradually he improved. When he was quite normal in his routine life he came away from Sri Sastri. His life is normal now.
8. Diabetes, High Blood Pressure and Dilation of the Heart:
Sri V.C.Rangachari, Vakil, Tirupati was suffering from the above troubles during 1945 and 1946. He was treated in the General Hospital, Madras and was not any better. After spending a good amount and trying many doctors he returned to Tirupati in a very bad condition. He was not able to sleep, was on strict liquid diet and confined to bed. He was unable to have even a wink of sleep for 40 days and was in great agony. He had then treatment from Sri Radhapati, (who belongs to the same school of Yoga as Sri Sastri and who is a brother Vakil of Tirupati) on one evening. He consequently slept for two hours. Mr. R. requested Sri Sastri to treat his friend, whom he did and Mr. Chari had sound sleep that night. This continued for a few days, when Mr. Chari felt strong enough to go Sri Sastri in bandy (horse drawn cart). The further Treatment continued. He felt more energetic, sugar disappeared and he could eat very normally. He is now attending to his normal work.
9. Leprosy:

The skin all over the body was affected. He was always lying down. Lepromatous+ variety of the disease. He was having fever also in the evenings. He had some treatment from an L.I.M. of Tirupati and did not yet improve much but was slowly getting worse. He was treated by Sri Sastri from Tirupati for a month. Fever subsided. Inflammation of the joints abated. He was brought to Tirupati and was attending once a week, morning prayers at Sri Sastri’s house and was undergoing treatment. After a month the whole skin was normal in condition. He was able to raise his hands and fingers. The joints were working normally. He is alright and is picking up strength. He will be going home in a fortnight (by 15th of June) having picked up enough strength. The most important part of the treatment was the touch of Sri Sastri’s palm all over the body over the skin, in the beginning of the treatment 3 or four times in all.

Both of them took the patient to Dr.Mathai of Mission Hospital, Renigunta. The disease was pronounced to be Cancer of the Womb in an advanced stage and they were unable to control the discharge and gave it up as hopeless and expected the patient to die in a few days. They also advised that there was no use taking her to Madras General Hospital even. She went home. Her husband requested Sri Sastri to treat her which was done one evening at the patient’s house. The discharge abated and she slept well that night. Next morning also Sri Sastri treated her similarly. There was no discharge whatsoever and the patient recovered strength of mind and felt energetic. She came to Sri Sastri’s house in the evening; another treatment continued for four or five days.

21. Chronic Headache and Consequent Fits:
Mrs. V. Muni Krishnayya, wife of Vakil of Tirupati was having headache for the last 25 years. In later
years, recently, she was also having some fits as a consequence. She was treated by Dr.Ramakrishna
of Tirupati, Dr.Guruswami and Dr.Arunachalam of Madras. But she was no better. She grew worse
Gradually.
Last year she was brought to Sri Sastri. He stated on the first day that it was due to an astral affect.
It was disclosed a few days after that as of three agencies: (1) Kateri, (2) Ramananda Yogi and (3)
Muniswarudu. She was going into an unconscious state while under treatment by Sri Sastri and was
making statements from which the above three affects were understood. Sri Sastri used to converse
with her in that condition of trance, giving suitable replies and making certain suggestions evidently
to the three agencies that possessed her. It was finally settled that Kateri should take birth elsewhere
in another family and that the other two should take birth in this family, one after the other. Mrs.
Muni Krishnayya was ever since completely free of the headache and other effects.
22. Leprosy:
Mrs. K.L. Narasimhachary, second wife of an advocate, Tirupati, was having white leprotic patches
all over the body. She was treated by Doctors, underwent ultraviolet ray treatment but she was no
better. She came under the treatment of Sri Sastri. It transpired that the trouble was due to an astral
effect. The first wife and the mother-in-law possessed her. The first wife complained (when the
patient was in trance, the astrals were making statements in all such cases) that her children were
being ill-treated by the second wife. So she said that she caused this ugly disease. Sri Sastri touched
her body over the affected parts and treated her. He suggested to the first wife to take birth in the Family and enjoy the property and assured better treatment for her children. The patient improved
in a few days. The patches disappeared; she was feeling energetic and normal. She is now in the
family way. An interesting fact came out in the statements made by the patient in her trance
condition. The advocate husband inherited a large property – lands. They belonged to another
person who did not belong to the family. The forefathers of the advocate acquired the property by
questionable and fraudulent methods. The owner of the property committed suicide by falling into a
well, not able to bear the sight of his family which was actually starving. This real owner of the
property had his share in the astral effect. He gave out that the old pattahs and other papers about
the property kept in record with the advocate would give a clear indication of this fact and when the
advocate expressed no knowledge of it, told to go and have a careful scrutiny. Strange to say the
indication given was borne out by the records – the advocate stated subsequently a few days after
the incident.
23. Beriberi:
The niece of Sri Radhapathy, advocate of Tirupati was suffering from the disease for the last two
years, not able to eat and digest. She took medicine and had injections too. She was no better.
She was then under the treatment of Sri Sastri. After three days she was very much better. She began
to walk the distance two furlongs from her house to Sri Sastri’s to and ro. She is now hale and healthy.
24. Paralysis:
Sri Ramamrutam, clerk in the Devasthanam Office, Tirupati had paralytic attack of the right side. He
was disabled and took leave. He took medicine from several doctors –from Dr.Guruswami of Madras
also. He was not any the better. He then was brought in a bandy for treatment to Sri Sastri. He was
Treated for a Month and he was all right. He is now attending to his office work and is normal in
Health.
25. Frequent Urination:
Sri Ramamurthy, brother of Sri Govindaiah Naidu, Traffic Superintendent was urinating 40-45 times
Every Day. It was declared to be due to some obstruction to free passage in the bladder. Burning
Sensation and Over-colouration of the urine were the complaints. This was so, for the last four years.
Dr.Ramakrishna examined the urine and stated that there was nothing wrong with the urine.
He came under the Treatment of Sri Sastri and felt much better in a week and 10-12 times during
the day. He is still under Treatment and is slowly improving.
26. Ascites:
Mrs. P. Ramanujaswamy, wife of the Director of the Tirupati Oriental Institute suffered long of
Ascites. Trapping was resorted to 2 or 3 times. More such treatment was not advised. She came
under the Treatment of Sri Sastri and was completely cured after a continuous treatment of over
a month or two. She has ever since been hale and healthy.

-------------------------
We have to bring to knowledge of certain unforgettable incidents that late AVS Sir told about the greatness of VPS GURUDEV. It's not out of place to mention here that such a remarkable incident has to be known by All.sadakas.
Our Guruji had infallible faith on Late Sri VPS thatha garu. Any one utters or comment on his guru. He will fire like a bullet from the gun. Such an irrevocable and faithfulness on VPS THATHA GARU.
Likewise, VPS thatha garu too meet him daily preferably in the evening and use to sit on the arugu or thinnai at the entrance hall of our Guruji. After informing AMMAGARU, he leaves for his residence. This was the nominal phenomena daily. This was also confirmed by Amma garu spouse of AVS Guruji. Later, our Guruji attended his instructions and met him. It was a daily routine affair.
DEATH RAISING IS MINOR SUBJECT IN OUR YOGA...MASTER CVV noting in diary.
This incident was personally told our Guruji twice while dictating the sub heads for MAHATMA LETTERS. THE incident narrated by him makes everyone increase respect for yoga and VPS THATHA GARU. THE incident narrated is nothing but death raising by VPS THATHA GARU.
IT WAS evening one dead corpse brought by four members from Bakarapet on the route to Piler.
The death caused is very simple. Snake bite. Two days ago, a snake bitten the patient. After all trails, he was declared as dead. Knowing the greatness of MASTER CVV AND HIS YOGA besides the greatness of VPS THATHA GARU, the suffers brought the dead corpse to our Guruji late AVS SIR house and inquired about GURUJI AND VPS THATHA GARU
GURUJI was expecting the arrival of VPS THATHA GARU and waiting. VPS thatha garu arrived and inquired about the dead corpse. Our Guruji narrated the incidents and requested him to pray for his resurrection of life.
It was initially hesitated by VPS THATHA GARU Later, with diligent faith on Master the Great agreed to treat the dead corpse. Both VPS thatha garu and Guruji prayed Master the Great to give the patients plenty of life duly placing his hand on the chest of the dead corpse. Both were in one aim requesting Master the Great to give him life.
By sheer deligent faith reposed on MASTER THE GREAT, both prayed for 30 minutes. The result is highly success. The dead corp got plenty of life and was able to speak all around him besides inquiring what made him come to Tirupati.
VPS THATHA GARU was overhelmed by the response of MASTER THE GREAT AND UTTERED TO OUR GURUJI THAT OUR YOGA HAS REACHED THE PENULTIMATE POINT BUT EARTH IS NOT IN A POSITION TO SUSTAIN IT.
LATER, the patient was asked to run the Ramulavari mada Street and confirmed his aliveness. This clearly shows the infallible faith reposed by VPS thatha garu and our Guruji.
—----------------
One great incident that has been narrated by my colleague on VPS thatha garu and his treatment.
My friend and colleague is very interested in writing poems in Telugu. Still, he is prosecuting and applauded by many He had immense respect on VPS thatha garu One incident that happened in HIS house and treatment given by VPS thatha garu.
This has personally been told by him He was native of Piler.
There were neighbours around his house. His father was a purohit. When he was young, neighbours' family were also intimate to them, particularly his mother.and another lady were become good friends.
They used to exchange their pleasantries time and again. It was good olden days.
Suddenly, the neighbouring lady was suffering from disease. After protracted illness, she left her physical. But the bond of friendship continued even after the demise and used to trouble his mother.
She became pale and did things beyond her control. This has been noticed by his maternal uncle, who was working in TTD STORES and disciple of VPS THATHA GARU He brought the incident to VPS THATHA garu and sought his help.
Thatha garu later advised him to bring her for the evening prayer. He obliged and daily brought her for evening prayer At that time VPS THATHA GARU played veena before her daily.and gave her permanent relief.
This incident was personally told by friend.when he comes across VPS thatha garu.
When I happened to refer this issue one of the daughters of VPS THATHA GARU, she told me that there was veena in our house and hardly any remembrance on the incident due to her age.
After the treatment my friend's mother become normal. Even our Guruji used confirmed that VPS THATHA GARU was very fond of carnatic music.
—---------
This version is personally told by late our Guruji time and again in the prayer hall as well as while writing the sub heads in Mahatma Letters.
Guruji had an immense pleasure to talk about his Guruj late Sri VPS thatha garu. After the evening, prayer is completed while distributing the prasadam. Most plantations are cut and given to sadakas in the prayer hall. The said prasadam will suit the need perfectly.
Even a piece of plantation will not remain. If at all someone will attend the prayer and lucky to take.
It was routine one. If plantations are not available, some grapes will be given. One small incident I would share with our yoga friends.
Days are moving like that. One evening after the routine prayer, Guruji started giving prasadam to all yoga sadakas. On that day, it was grapes.
He distributed all two grapes remained. One yoga sadaka(came late to evening prayer) had the balance that's two grapes.
Guruji gave the two grapes to him. Later, the yoga sadaka left for home. En route, he met one of his friends who was suffering from DHANUR VADHAM. He was an official painter of human parts for SVRR MEDICAL COLLEGE. His suffering was miserable and untenable.
Our yoga sadaka gave one grape given by Guruji and advised him to repose confidence on MASTER AND VPS.
He readily accepted and swallowed one piece of grape. Both are left for home.
During the night, he had severe body pain, and two persons ONE MASTER THE GREAT AND VPS THATHA GARU caught hold of him and made him sit erect.
The painter further added, both caught holding him and inserted two sticks behind his body inserted and advised him to sit erect and walk.
The next day, the painter become normal and able to attend his duty in a normal manner.
Here, one has to note that he is not a sadaka nor doing regular practice. He's no way connected to our yoga. A small piece of grape made his disease curable.
This is nothing, but he took the prasadam with FAITH.
FAITH ON MASTER CVV. which gave him a permanent solution.
That's why MASTER IN HS DIARY MENTIONED BELIEF IS THE RELIEF
ONCE AGAIN IMPLORING ALL YOGA SADAKAS PLEASE LEAVE FALSE NOTION AND REPOSE CONFIDENCE ON HIMSELF AND MASTER THE GREAT.
