HH Sri Tridandi Jeear's Net Meeting
From the Bhakti List Archives
• August 24, 1999
Due to an unusually busy schedule, HH Sri Tridandi Jeear was forced to cut short his electronic upanyAsam this week. As a result,he postponed his planned discourse on the vaibhavam of Sri LakshmiHayagrivan to next Sunday. The Jeear did spend a few minutes of his time, though, conveying his mangalAsasanams to the bhAgavathas who had joined the chat and discussing the activities that were creating this unexpected change in plans. A group of scholars and ardent bhAgavathas have gathered together in Sithanagaram to discuss and learn about the ashtadasa rahasyam and the ashtAkshari rahasyam. These bhAgavathas spent many hours on Sunday discussing the intricacies and nuances of each under the guidance of Sri Jeear Swamy, concluding just moments before the net chat. Concurrent to this, a group of doctors have gathered in Sithanagaram to conduct a free clinic of medical services of what we in the West know as Alternative Medicine. In his inimitable subtle but charming humor, HH raised the question of why something that has been known about in sAstra from time immemorial should now be called "Alternative," when it really is Complimentary Medicine. Interestingly, the medical practices being put to use in this clinic include acupressure and acupuncture, which we stereotypically identify with Oriental Medicine. But, Sri Jeear Swamy pointed out that these practices were actually indigenous to India and were only brought to the Far East by traders at a later stage in early history. Sri Jeear Swamy pointed out while our sampradAyam recognizes illness to be the result of our prArabdha karma, knowing this should not prevent a bhAgavatha from acting accordingly with compassion. He also reminded everyone of the vaibhavam of Sri Vaidya LakshmiNarasimhan of Yadagirigutta, who out His kArunyam, acts as a Divine Doctor to all, healing the sick and fostering in them devotion to Him. If Perumal is can provide such Divine Intervention, then certainly we as his servants should feel obligated to show at least a small amount of this Kindness, as well. HH concluded his talk by reminding everyone to not forget to pay homage to Sri LakshmiHayagrivan after completing the upAkarma on Avani Avittam. Sri HH's next net meeting will be on Sunday, August 29 beginning at 8:30 PM IST. For details on how to join this net chat, please contact me or Sri Raghuram Mudumbai. adiyEn rAmAnuja dAsan, Mohan
