June 2013 Vibrations....

Poojyashree Shree Amma's
Sound 10
Vibration 3
1. The Divine Message - Message From Poojyashree Shree Amma - The Ultimate Liberator Bestowed By Lord Shri Krishna!
RadheKrishna

Radhekrishna. Give freedom to Krishna in your life. Actually He doesn't need your permission. But ego and pride are not allowing Krishna in your life. Be humble and surrender to enjoy life fully

Radhekrishna. Relax. Don't expect much from others. Everyone is a human. So mistakes are very common. Give some time to others to rectify. You too need some time to rectify yourself. Time will change everything. Relax. Life is a combination of mistakes and corrections. 

Radhekrishna. We are all souls. We are very near to Krishna. We are fortunate to chant Krishna. We are blessed enough to meditate Him. We have to accept all the facts of life. We should realise happiness. 

RADHEKRISHNA ! People are always having expectations about life. Life is always giving something unexpected. So we have to live a balanced life to realize KRISHNA.

Radhekrishna. Every effort is having its own effect. Every effort is blessed by Krishna. Put your sincere efforts and enjoy more blessings. Krishna loves who put efforts

2. Mahatmas - New Bhaktacharitras Each Month


India is the holy land with so many bhaktas (devotees). When we go through the Indian history, there must be a bhakta in every period. That is the greatness of this sacred land. Bhaktas are the role model for all the bonded souls. They enjoy their life in a perfect way. Bhaktas surrender themselves to the Lotus feet of Lord. By hearing or reading bhaktas' divine story, the bonded soul is enlightened to come out of the worldwide bondages.
RadheKrishna! Sincere chanting and listening to the great stories of devotees will surely give a peace of mind to everybody, even in this 21st century. So many people think that listening to the devotee's stories is a waste of time and there is no benefit at all. If somebody wants to realize the power of bagawan, first of all they must listen bhaktha charithram [stories of devotees]. There are so many advantages in listening to baktha charithram.

Bharath is a very special land and contained within it are sacred places and rivers. Devotees born in this sacred Bharath ensure that they propagate bhakti in all corners of the country. This is the precise reason why the fragrance of bhakti can be felt all around our country. Our beloved Guruji has a special reverence for Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and in the coming issues, we will enjoy his bhakthi and the path of devoution that he had set an example for us to follow. 

In that state of intense devoution Nimayee grabs the food that Suklambar had and much like how Krishna had the rice flakes from Kuchela, he grabbed and had the food. This intense devoution was witnessed by the whole of Navadeep. This is the gift of NImayee for the intense and true devoution of Suklambar towards the Lord. We should get close enough to the Lord like this so that he will scold us, play with us and even fight with us! The same closeness that we have with the Lord and the Guru will help us navigate millions of births in this world. Then Nimayee composes himself returns back to normalcy, takes a dip in the ganges and returns back

Every day such scenes of intense devoution becomes a norm in the house of SriVasa pandit. Many people await at the door steps of his house as the devoution becomes a closed door event. Some days a few people are let in to join and people begin to grumble about these and make comments about chanting and devoution. We have to be very careful when speaking about devoutees and even the Lord himself exercises so much caution so that he does not talk anything bad about His devoutees. Some people go and complain about this to the village headman that Nimayee's group is going against dharma. What is dharma or truth is a very intricate thing and our elders have concluded that whatever great devotees and respectful elder perform is dharma and needs to be followed. The people who complain quote from shastras that NImayee's group does not perform yoga, rituals etc. mentioned and do chanting, jumping and singing which are all against Hindu dharma. What do they know about our Shastras or spiritual texts?

Leela continues...

RadheKrishna.Hinduism is an ancient religion. All the things that have been spoken in Hindu religion can be applied in practical life. Although in 21st century till everyone can apply this in his or her daily life. The aim of Hindu religion is to provide total happiness to everyone at all times (or any point of time). The essence of Hinduism is told in "Bhagawad Gita". In order to realize what is said in Bhagawad Gita it is a compulsory (must) to have an unconditional faith on Bhagawad Gita. So many people have benefited in their lives because of the (by reading) shlokas of Bhagawad Gita. In Bhagawad Gita, Bhagawan Shri Krishna has told the way to lead a happy life in such an easy way that even a normal layman can easily understand. The slokas are so simple that anyone can understand and use it practically. In the coming months we will enjoy the 12th Chapter of Gita and the devoution towards the Lord as explained by our  beloved Guruji.

When Hauman was visiting Krishna he converted himself to Rama and asked one of the Gopis to be draped as Sita as otherwise it will be very hard to bring Hanuman towards Krishna. When Hanuman visited he saw the other gopis and enquired to Ram (Krishna) that what is that in the place of Sita some many other females are hanging around. Then one of the wives of Krishna who was in the bhava (state) of Sita was brought and then only Hanuman returned back after paying due respects to the Lord.

Very much like how the devoution of Hanuman transformed Krishna to behave like Ram, we should also place the Lord in our hearts. We should develop like single minded devoution whether it is towards Rama, Krishna, Narayana, Vaman, Narasimha or Varaha. Even if it is Kaliyuga if we give up our intellect and mind to the Lord we will be able to enjoy the Lord. The Lord in his sloka does not mention of any yuga when he said to surrender our minds and hence in all yugas we can follow this route. Devotees have established the four yugas like this. Kaliyuga is attributed like deep sleep, Dwapara yuga is like us lying on our bed about to get up, Thretha yuga is like getting up and Kritha yuga is like complete awake and going about doing our normal activities .i.e Kritha yuga is like a realized person. The Lord thus concludes to Arjuna not to doubt about giving up his mind and intellect to Him to be able to live with Him

RadheKrishna  RadheKrishna..
Perumal Thirumozhi was as a result of Kulasekara azhwar longing to see and enjoy Lord Ranganatha. The Thirumozhi also results from the bhakthi of the azhwar towards Rama and Krishna and he begins with his longing for Lord Ranganatha. Everyone of us have so much of longing for the worldly affairs but the longing and the love for the Lord alone will help us achieve a good state.
Kulasekara azhwar enjoys Lord Ranganatha as Adisheshan in the first two pasurams or songs. Then he enjoys the Lord as enjoyed by Brahma. But the way Gopis enjoyed the Lord is considered to be supreme. This is because the not so intelligent Gopis were fully aware of the strengths of the Lord and believed that Krishna would save them. Of all the avatars,  Krishna avatar is considered to be the best and one that can easily be enjoyed. This was followed by Kulasekara azhwar enjoying how Narada and Tumburu enjoy the Lord.

The azhwar further prays that despite the lack of his ability to be able to perform penance or devotion he seeks the Lord's blessings to be able to enjoy Him. He  prays that the Lord can accomplish anything and so requests Him to grant the wish of mingling with the devotees and enjoy the beauty of the Lord. If everyday we pray like that of Kulasekara azhwar and long for Him then one fine day the Lord will grant that boon to us. Hence ask the Lord for devotion, ask Him for a pure heart and ask Him so that we could lead our lives that will please the Lord. In the short span of life that we are going to lead, we give way to anger, lust, greed and immerse ourselves in sorrow. This  is not required and we have to enjoy the Lord and in the end mingle with Him. The Lord is granting many pleasures and it is just that we have to be a good receptacle to be able to retain and enjoy these pleasures. Many people have commented that the will power that we get listening to the stories of the Lord disappears after it concludes. The trick is to place a lid on them like how a nicely prepared meal if left as is will get spoiled. The lid should be opened only if required. Everyday we should look southwards and pray to Ranganatha sincerely. Let all of you get the same longing as that of the Kulasekara Azhwar and be blessed by Lord Ranganatha. 

We will enjoy a new pasuram next month.

RadheKrishna.

Bhagawan takes avatar in each and every yuga mainly to safeguard the bhaktas and then to destroy the rakshasaas who trouble his bhaktas. So Bhagawan comes to this bhoomi from paRamapadham just for the sake of his bhaktas. Hence we come to know that bhaktas are very important to the Lord. Whenever Bhagawan comes to rescue his bhaktas, the other fellow people also reap the benefits. Our guruji amma gives high respect to all the bhaktas. Hence our Vedhanaadham's every issue will be dedicated to one bhakta. This issue we are dedicating to one of the great eternal devotees of the Lord namely 'Gunavathi Bai'
  • The great soul was the wife of king Madhav Singh and was blessed with two sons
  • The great queen who was initiated by her maid into chanting Lord's name as the means to liberate oneself
  • The great soul who sought nothing else but continuous chanting when Krishna manifested before her
  • The great wife who transformed her husband and brought him back to  devoution. As a result the King too had darshan of the Lord
  • The great devoutee who led a life of prayer till the very end and served humanity
Please check out Dhaasa Vedham to know about the pravachans and discourses being conducted by Guruji   
  
Weekly bhajans are held in Chennai, Podanur, Mumbai, USA and East Africa with Guruji Amma's abundant blessings.
Weekly bhajans and Nagara sankeerthanam are also being held regularly.

Vedhnaadham - Special 10th Anniversary Edition

Poojyashree Shree Amma's
Sound 10
Vibration 1

Vedhanaadham turns 10 this tamil new year and we seek the blessings of Guruji Amma and Guruji to continue to shower their grace on all of us. On this special occassion we look back and publish a collection of Guruji Amma's divine message in this special edition.   We wish all our readers a happy Vijaya New Year & may we all enjoy the grace of Krishna..

Poojyashree Shree Amma
 
Tamil new year must be good for all the shisyas. A new year returns before we realise, but what is the difference in our minds?
We wake up early in the morning, take a nice bath, wish everyone a happy new year and eat varieties of food. Is this enough?
This is done every year.All these rituals are for the body and the mind. But, for the athma (i.e. soul), what is the need? The athma needs Bhagawan Sri Krishna.
The athma wants coalition with Sri Krishna in all manner. Those who are doing namajapam and bhagawath dhyanam, they are having the right to mingle with Lord Krishna with this body itself in the present human life.
Bhagawan Sri Krishna is waiting eagerly for the prema bhaktas to celebrate raasakreeda on this earth. For premai (true love) there are no restrictions. Bhagawan just wants the true heart. So, in this Dhaarana year, become a good prema baktha and enjoy Lord Krishna as you wish!!

This is the right time and perfect age to enjoy Lord Krishna……Radhekrishna…………

Vedhnaadham Birthday Special *** The spark that led to GurujiAmmas devotion towards Krishna *** Must See!!





Blessings to one and all in the world.

Nowadays, nobody lives with peace and happiness. Why is it so? All the people are living with desires and greed. People are searching the materialistic happiness only which means everybody lives in their dream world. When one wants to be a very rich man, then their motive is only about money. Some people are living with 'garvam' (pride) about their educational qualifications. They want to live with real happiness, but they are simply acting with their temporary worldly exposures.These things alone cannot fulfill their lives and they keep searching for 'santhosham'(true happiness). Everybody thinks in the world, is it possible to get 'santhosham'?

I am telling you all "Yes, it is possible!!". If everybody does 'Nama japam' (chanting of Lord's name) wholeheartedly, they will get real happiness, peace, enjoyment and pleasure.Attempt it and enjoy the supreme bliss.


Radhekrishna.......
 

Amma's abhayakarangal
 
One can attain Bhagavaan, if he has the unrelented desire. So, what if one attains Bhagavaan? He can live happily. Bhagavaan has not promised anywhere of retaining the youth if one does Naamajabam. The true devotee knows whether he is 90 years or 95 years or even at the bed-ridden stage, the mind will be at peace. He will always be happy, and has a staunch belief that God is always with him and hence will not have disbelief in any respect. That stubbornness and courage of God being with him and will take him to His abode is assured of. Radhekrishna! Thus, the devotee will not bother about any worldly petty matters. When the common people feel neglected for not being attended to them when they are in need of a glass of water or coffee and when one utters Krishna, the same people rush to serve them with the soothing warm water. It is no exaggeration but only the truth. Each one of us should constantly chant the Naamajabam to experience this truth. One need not seek or call anybody by name for help, instead when he offers his prayer to Krishna; he will be helped to complete his work even by strangers who are not related to the work. Radhekrishna!
When an infant cries for the milk, it does not spell out the same before hand. Its mother takes care and to appease the hunger, feeds the infant. When the infant wets the bed, she does the needful, while the infant does not utter about it to its mother. If the ordinary people can do the needful to an infant and can take care of, is there any need to talk or comment about Bhagawaan’s well-planned actions? Are we fit to talk about Bhagawaan’s actions? We can only talk his praises and chant His names. Well, chanting Bhagawaan’s names is only for their well-being and not to benefit Bhagawaan. It is only because of this, the importance of Naamasankeerthana is propogated for our happiness and He has said the same in the most secret way. It is not in the form of authorization in writing with any signature, whereas He secretly conveys the importance of Chanting. There is no need to give any open and vivid explanation for God’s actions. Hence, the Guru, in the form of representatives of God, is sent by Bhagawaan to uplift the souls in this world and the knowledge is imparted through them. Common people cannot understand Bhagawaaan’s pranks and plays. For a single event the meaning and concept changes in our mind from time to time, and hence nobody is able to give a definite explanation for our sacred Bhagawath Geetha and is explaining the same in various ways. Each one has his own explanation and such are the new meanings. Radhekrishna!
We dance to the tunes of various songs and music in our daily life, which however is forgotten in matter of no time. Bhagawaan’s Leelas are truth and hence remains forever. Even an atheist gives explanation in his support quoting various hymns and adapts to such belief when it is advantageous to him. This shows Bhagawaan’s mercy! He showers His mercy even on the sinners. The glory of Chanting is propagated only to attain Bhagawaan. Many of us observe fast but do not enjoy its purpose as it is done with ego and self-pride. Such fasts are not done for the sake of Bhagawaan but only to boast amongst the people. They grumble of preparations of tasty food for others saying, had I not observed the fast, would have tasted the same. Though tempted in such manner they do not express outwardly the same. The observances of fasts are to be dedicated to Bhagawaan and not to boast upon. When each duty of ours is dedicated to Bhagawaan, one can truly enjoy the performance. There will never be any mistake when done so and He bestows upon us His compassion. It is possible to attain everything through Naamasankeerthana and hence Sadgurus are stressing upon the importance of the same. There is no doubt about it at any point of time. Radhekrishna! Let bygones be bygones and need not waste the precious time by brooding over the past. Now, on realizing the importance of Naamasankeerthanam, one should have a hold on it and do continuous chanting Krishna, Krishna, Krishna, Krishna…, to know the truth and the real purpose of human life. Radhekrishna!

Poojyashri Shri Amma
 Ok, are you doing Bhajans? How you do feel after bhajan. How are your feelings after doing bhajan. Does everyone feel happy after namajapan .everything becomes easier.. every moment even while studying if you are used to chanting radhekrishna, the heart can chant radhekrishna always. How it is possible if the teacher is teaching something. Let us choose a popular catchy song, even while learning in classroom as the teacher teaches or while studying you are able to hum your favourite song, similary you should be able to chant radhekrishna while studying. If you start at a young age then when you become old - many people complain and cry my child did not care for me, i did not get good food, no medicines are available, such instances are very common as you might be aware. If you chant now, Lord Krishna
will save you now and till your old age also. Since you are kids, parents are taking good care of you... by feeding you on time and keeping you happy but giving you good food that you like etc..

Then after this kids stage, when you are at home, after completing education, without taking up any employment then what do the parent say.. Useless
chap why are you sitting idle... Is it my mother she is cursing me says the kid.. you should not be like that but if you want to be happy and comfortable always keep Krishna in your heart, then if you need anything any moment then Krishna will grant you that, you can be happy, You should do namajapan.. Andal, Meera were young but started bhakti at a very young age.

Today you recount Meera, Aandal they chanted Krishna always.. You can be like them if you do do namajapam. Now you are kid what happens at age 16 whether I will get a job, whether mother will shout at me or not etc will not be apparent to you now...

What matters to you I need to go to school, I should ask amma my favourite snack for school. Then if you like it you will always think i should have the tiffin to myself. If you complete study then i said what can happen to you at that time.. You know better.... Radhekrishna...

This young age Aandal Meera Thiyaga Brahmam like them you should chant in the heart Krishna ... you can feel the happiness in your heart. If you go to the shop people might notice you and ask why you look so different, people can notice the change in you. Bhagavan namam Krishna should be chanted always and continuously.. You can live happily..

Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna! Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna Radhekrishna!!

Before god everybody is a kid. During exams, when you get the question paper close your eyes and just like we chanted, chant radhe krishna 10 times, not much time will pass and you will be able to write your exams betters than others. The answers that you want to know, Radhekishna will tell you. Krishna helps us when we write our exams as well, you will notice the difference.

Like that before studying while taking the book, chant 10 times and pray to Krishna that i should not forget whatever I read today and you will be able to perform better and you won t forget anything and write exams well...

Do every thing like this.This is a fact, call Bhagavan before everything. He will come and help you this is truth(satyam).
Poojyashri Shri Amma
Chennai, May 2006
Listen to Amma's divine message in Her own voice! (in Tamil)


Life is unpredictable. Everyone is born and death is sure to everyone at a certain point of time. But no one can predict in which form and when death occurs. So life is a temporary phenomenon. Change is the rule of the universe. No one has the right to question this or ability to control it. In the past so many natural calamities have occurred and many a time we are unaware of such devastating incidents. Even recently the tsunami waves and earthquakes have shattered the whole world. So many people died and many lost their loved ones, houses and livelihood. Whether we like or not we have to accept it.

The so-called scientific development can only to some extent predict such occurrences but the happenings cannot be stopped. The scientists can explain the reason of the incident only after it occurs. No one can give assurance of non-happening of such incidents in the future. But anyone can safeguard himself or herself from these natural calamities by surrendering to Bagawan Krishna.

We all wish that such incidents should not occur in future. For that, from today itself we must put efforts. The effort that we have to put is, chant Lord’s name. By chanting Lord’s name there is nothing to worry and to be afraid of.
So chant constantly Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna.
Wherever you are, whatever you do never forget the Lord’s name!!!

There is no restriction regarding caste, creed, age, religion, status, gender, nationality etc., for chanting the Lord’s name.

Let us all come together and Chant for world peace. Everyone wishes to help in some way or the other at this present situation. But it is not possible for everyone to lend a helping hand to meet all sorts of requirements. God only knows the real needs of the needy. By our chanting Bagawan Sri Krishna will surely fulfil the needs of those needy.


Radhekrishna! Radhekrishna! Radhekrishna! Radhekrishna! Radhekrishna!
** This message was given by Amma after the Tsunami disaster in December 2004 **

Qualities of A Disciple (Sishya Latchanam)-

Radhekrishna! We have been telling about Guru Bhakthi. To do Guru Bhakthi, the disciple should be perfect.

Gopikas lived for Krishna only because of Guru Sishya Bhavam. Lord Krishna was the Guru and Arjuna was the sishyan.

Arjun never used to do anything without the consent of Krishna. But even Arjun forgot the way a sishyan should be in a situation in his life. He forgot Krishna when his brother Yudishtir asked him to play betting.

We often quote Govindan when we narrate Guru Sishya relationship. Govindan was a sishya of Sri Ramanujar. We are still surprised by the way Govindan lived with his Guru for his Guru. Instead of narrating on how Govindan was, let us see on how a sishya should be now.

We may say that there was no TV, Radio in those days and there was no need for marriage and hence the sishyas were able to live like that. Now people may say, they want a family life and hence get married but what will they attain by doing service to Guru.

There is a proverb 'Pin thoongi mun ezhuvaal pathini' in tamil which means a perfect wife will sleep late and get up early. We can make different meanings now, but the exact meaning of this is to finish the household activities, fullfill the needs of in-laws, children, feed the cows (there were cows in houses earlier), check if doors are locked properly. After finishing all the household chores, wife will also fullfill the needs of her husband as per his wishes and this is the meaning of 'Pin thoongi mun ezhuvaal pathini' in tamil. This is how a sishyan/shishyai should be.

Deva devi used to get up early in the morning, sprinkle water in front of house, decorate with kolams( like rangoli). She did all these irrespective of whether it is for good or not. If we discuss who is Deva Devi, there is a lot to narrate. This is to say how a sishya should be.

If we need to narrate qualities of sishya, sishya should not perform anything for self. A sishya should behave as per Guru's wishes. If one keeps a book in a place, the book will not move, run,hide, behave as per it's wishes. This is called behaving as per Guru's wishes.


We leave you with the collection of Guruji Amma's Bhanjans to enjoy this new year

Poojyashree Shree Amma's
Vedhanaadham - The Sound For The Soul - Dec 2012 
Sound 9
Vibration 9
1. The Divine Message - Message From Poojyashree Shree Amma - The Ultimate Liberator Bestowed By Lord Shri Krishna!

The main message of first skandha of Srimadh Bagawatham is "Forget & forgive the enemy who gave sufferings to you." Forgiveness is good...

Krishna is residing in our heart.Anyone can meditate this KRISHNA. You are entitled to meditate this form. This is told by SRI SUKHA BRAHMA

SUKHA BRAHMAM said "Hey my dear King ! Lord' name is the best one to chant. Surrendering to Lord is the best way to get rid from sufferings"


Want to know about the creation of the world ?Want to know about Supreme Lord?Want to know about the power of chanting ?Then listen BAGAWAT

Misunderstanding somebody & ill treating them is worse than hell. At any cost don't misunderstand anyone. Understand everyone's position

Pray sincerely. Pray calmly. Pray happily. Pray silently. Don't reveal your prayer to anyone until it gets succeeded. PRAYER IS SIMPLY SUPER

Being soft is a good quality. But you should not allow others to take undue advantage on this quality. YOU MUST KNOW TO SAFEGUARD YOURSELF

You can see the same KRISHNA in the nature too. Some great Yogis are meditating KRISHNA in the nature.It's not so easy for normal people

We should care the elders like Pandavas. King Dhrutharashtra gave all sorts of problems in Pandavas life. Even then they cared him after war

Gadhadhar falls at Nimayees feet and requests him to bless him with the true longing for Krishna. After much persuasion Nimayee says that Gadhadhara will experience it the next day . On hearing this he became very happy , danced and screamed in joy and became uncontrollable. Seeing this Nimayee also experienced true joy and they hugged each other. You can only be able to withstand this situation if you are in the same bhava or mindset like that of a parallel train track. Else you will not be able to bear the hugs as it requires considerable strength. Seeing this site even the devas wished that they had taken human form on the earth and enjoy such pure devoution.

The entire night was spent by Gadhadhar by chanting the name of Krishna. We should also do this as so many nights have been spent by us uselessly thinking about people. The sugarcane called Krishna is there and is up to us to eat and enjoy its sweetness! Our great devotees have extracted the juice as well and it is up us to drink or taste a sip. Once we get that taste  that it is very difficult to leave the juice. 

Gadhadhara cries out loudly Krishna and hugs a pillar near by. At time he looks at his palms and shouts Krishna Krishna. Once we forget our body in true devoution even our body will manifest as Krishna and every single hair  root will be seen as Krishna. Gadhadhara runs on and off and hugs Nimayee and cries out Krishna Krishna and behaves like a person who has lost his mind. Gadhadhara wishes that he shed his body as he has experienced true happiness but Nimayee stops him and says that he has just tasted the tip of true devoution and there is much more to enjoy

If we rue over a simple jewellery loss of 5000 or 10000 rupees then imagine that there can never a price tag associated with realising the Lord.  The Lord in Gita instructs us in a similar way to give our minds to Him. To give another example that if we search around and find a dress that we most liked and when it gets torn by accident, we continue to live with the dress even after we stitch it.  In our minds the Lord should always be occupied in the same way we always think about lost opportunities or lost articles.

We only try to occassionally remember the Lord. In the morning we get up light a lamp and say a few slokas. In the evening also we do the same and repeat this on special occasions and celebrations days. But to live the Lord we must continously think about Him. The Lord categorically says that everybody will be able to give up the mind to Him and attain Him. Even Periazhwar laments about the lost time that has gone without thinking about the Lord. Many births and many years have passed without the thought of the Lord.

Even the world can be destroyed and recreated but there exists no birth or death for the soul. No great person can say the number of times he/she has been born as it has been countless births and deaths that we have undergone. We should finish this cycle and this should be our last birth. Even if we were to be born again then it should be like a state of happiness only as that of how a child experiences. The Lord reassures Arjuna that if he gives up his mind and intellect he can live with Him. The Lord also says that despite the location if we surrender our minds and intellects then we will surely live with Him..

RadheKrishna  RadheKrishna..
Perumal Thirumozhi was as a result of Kulasekara azhwar longing to see and enjoy Lord Ranganatha. The Thirumozhi also results from the bhakthi of the azhwar towards Rama and Krishna and he begins with his longing for Lord Ranganatha. Everyone of us have so much of longing for the worldly affairs but the longing and the love for the Lord alone will help us achieve a good state.
Kulasekara azhwar enjoys Lord Ranganatha as Adisheshan in the first two pasurams or songs. Then he enjoys the Lord as enjoyed by Brahma. But the way Gopis enjoyed the Lord is considered to be supreme. This is because the not so intelligent Gopis were fully aware of the strengths of the Lord and believed that Krishna would save them. Of all the avatars,  Krishna avatar is considered to be the best and one that can easily be enjoyed. This was followed by Kulasekara azhwar enjoying how Narada and Tumburu enjoy the Lord. He continues further and sees how the devotees are enjoying the Lord and what items are safeguarding the Lord. Then the azhwar decides to mingle with the devotees and experience how it would be to be part of that group and enjoy the Lord.

Our desires are bigger than the sky itself. The Lord is facing the southern direction just to reassure Vibishana that he will take care of him and his country.There is no change that happens to the mercy of the Lord and we may experience mood swings with every visit to Srirangam temple but you can never experience a change in His disposition.  Right from Kulasekara azhwar days to Thondaradipodi azhwar, Aaandal to Ramanuja to ParasaraBhattar to present day Jeeyars , none of them are able to make out any difference to the Lord and He has been that way ever since. There is always love in the eyes of the Lord but sadly enough this is not being recognized in this world.

We give priority to the love between individuals that exist before they expect something from the other person. However the Lord's selfless love towards us is never recognized by the millions who live in India and we can easily count the few who live for the sake of the Lord's love towards us. Even during pralayam (deluge that destroys the earth) he does not dance but lies down silently so that the souls that are in his body are not disturbed by his actions much in the same way a pregnant mother will not do anything that may harm the child his her womb.

If you notice generally elderly people who lie down in a cot and observe his children and grand children and wish them they grow up well or their problems resolved easily. In the same way despite dancing to our egos all morning and whilst sleeping out of ignorance and tiredness in the night, the Lord longs for us to enjoy His mercy at least when we wake up! It is the same people and the same behaviour that we encounter each day but how is that we expect the next day to better than the previous one?

parithraanaaya sadhoonaam vinasaya cha dhushkrutham
dharma sansthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge



Bhagawan takes avatar in each and every yuga mainly to safeguard the bhaktas and then to destroy the rakshasaas who trouble his bhaktas. So Bhagawan comes to this bhoomi from paRamapadham just for the sake of his bhaktas. Hence we come to know that bhaktas are very important to the Lord. Whenever Bhagawan comes to rescue his bhaktas, the other fellow people also reap the benefits. Our guruji amma gives high respect to all the bhaktas. Hence our Vedhanaadham's every issue will be dedicated to one bhakta. This issue we are dedicating to one of the great eternal devotees of the Lord namely 'Ramanand'

  • The great soul was born in 1400 in Prayag to Sushila and PuniyaSadan Sharma
  • The great devotee of Ram was the guru of Tulsidas, Kabirdas and Vittal Kulkarni(Dynaneswar's father)
  • The great soul who spent most of his life in Kasi (varnasi) teaching about the importance of chanting the name of the Lord
  • The great soul who initiated poor and people of low caste and preached that everyone was equal before the Lord
  • The great author wrote Sri Vaishnava, Matanbuj Bhaskar and Sri Ramarachan Padhti and also wrote a commentary called AnandabhAsya

Shabad of Ramananda in Guru Granth Sahib

  • Where should I go?
  • My home is filled with bliss.
  • My consciousness does not go out wandering.
  • My mind has become crippled. || 1 || Pause ||
  • One day, a desire welled up in my mind.
  • I ground up sandalwood, along with several fragrant oils.
  • I went to God’s place, and worshipped Him there.
  • That God showed me the Guru, within my own mind. || 1 ||
  • Wherever I go, I find water and stones.
  • You are totally pervading and permeating in all.
  • I have searched through all the Vedas and the Puraanas.
  • I would go there, only if the Lord were not here. || 2 ||
  • I am a sacrifice to You, O my True Guru.
  • You have cut through all my confusion and doubt.
  • Raamanand’s Lord and Master is the All-pervading Lord God.
  • The Word of the Guru’s Shabad eradicates the karma of millions of past actions. || 3 || 1 ||
