Apana house
This is the house where apanna lived. It was a great story. Guru Ragavendrar knew about apanna and came by yatra from kumbakonam via tirupathi, adoni and reached this small gramam where apanna lived called bichalaya. Bichalaya means cooking food without fire. Apanna was blessed with such a power. When Ragavendra reached bichalaya, he met apanna and stayed with apanna in his house for few days. Within a span of 1 week apanna realised that ragavendrar is a great person. He didnt have the heart to leave ragavendrar and requested ragavendra to stay with him. They both were together in the same house for 12 years. Once ragavendra knew his time for jeeva samadhi, he asked apanna alone to go for a seva in the nearest gramam(because apanna wont allow raganvendra to go in for this jeeva samadhi). By the time he went to manthralayam and asked his other sishyas to build a brindhavan around his. Apanna was curious to know" why he was sent alone for seva when there were many sishyas?". He came back to bichjalaya and heard that ragavendrar has gone to manthralayam for jeeva samadhi. There started the sthothra "POOJYAYA RAGAVENDRAYA".He prayed the lord and had the river tungabadra leaving way for him. Knowing that Apanna is coming ragavendra asked his sishyas to speed up the process. By the time apanna comes manthralayam, he sees only the brindhavan. He cries to guru. Then Ragavendra shos this jyothis avatar from within and says apanna not to worry. From then on Apanna started visiting manthralayam daily walking from Bichalaya.
