Re: Digest Number 59

From the Bhakti List Archives

Sampathkumar • June 14, 2000 


 Dear Sh Mani,  As I had  expressed it earlier I  have been following
closely the Mails and permit me again, I am amazed at the depth of the
knowledge ,analyzing ability and trying to reach at  logical conclusions.
Whlie this is appreciated  can I use  your platform  for expressing my
thoughts  on various issues which are relevant ,importatant,and need to be
addressed,yes, pertaining to Srivaishnavism- I f so   following is the
message

Srivaishnavism , the noble philosophy  was propagated  by Swami Empermanar
and the lineage can be traced to Veda itself. We have come a long way and
we have miles and miles to go. Can we stop for a moment - and have an
introspection  as  to are we going in the right path- ,are we taking the
people in the right   path  and lastly are we helping  the people  to get
into the right path-- I can listen to the  Voiciforus  yes from
Srivaishnavites  declaring that they are  going in the right path. Respected
Srivaishanvites, my concern is about  the third  ,ARE WE  HELPING  THE
PEOPLE  TO GET INTO THE RIGHT PATH. What I mean is are we helping people to
know more about our great  religion, are we trying to bring  them , are we
welcoming  them into the fold.
Let me diagress little  and take you on a trip to K.L. Recently  Vellukudi
Krishnan wa s on a trip to far eastern countries  and along with him about
25 persons from India also travelled. Few Upanyasams were organized in K.L.
One upanyasam was in Sri Soundararajan  Perumal Koil ,Klang, K.L.  and the
Lord was  so  enchanting which can be aptly described  by our Sh Madava
Kannan  in his own erudite style. Before the upanyasam, we spotted few
gentlemen and ladies  with  Pannirundu  Thirunamam  ,and pardon me for
saying they  were not brahmins but srivaishanavas.Struck by curiosity, we
started the conversation and  in about 20 minutes of conversation by
Vellukudi Swami they  opened up their heart, hearts which were pure, hearts
which were  glued to the Great philosophy, hearts which wanted to know more
about the  path to surrender to Lord Sriman Narayana, hearts which  pleaded
for  inclusion into the fold ,hearts which were ready to do anything ,
hearts which had unflinching, unwavering loyalty towards the philosophy. A
gentlman  pleaded,:" sir we are  saivaites by birth but  now we are
following the Srivaishanavism ,can you please accept us  as one among   the
Srivaishnava. " Tears rolled down our  cheeks when we saw and heard  true
Srivaishanavas and that very moment  the oft repeated message by Vellukudi
Swami flashed in my  mind." So long this Universe is there Srivaishanavism
will be there".  I bowed  and this incident prompted me to raise the third
issue as mentioned above. May I be permitted to continue with this  in my
next mail  as I do not desire to occupy  substantial prtion of the space.
Jaya Sriman Narayana

>In this ten Parakala Nayaki, crosses her feminine nature and longs openly

>1. I, the sinner, who is suffering from the separation from Him, will never

>2. Oh my dear mind! what is the big deal of being here thinking of Him?
>Emperumaan, who had united with me, to my fullest heart's content, stays at
>this sthalam of ThiruppullaaNi, where the ocean sweeps the gem stones to
the
>shore. Go, pay obeisance and get saved.

>3. Oh my dear mind! How can I ever forget Him? I am not able to. Let us see
>if we can forget Him, after He comes to us permanently. Near that charming,
>beautiful gardens, full of ponds with lot of fragrant flowers, He followed
>me and said to me, "I will never ever leave the impish charming, foolish
>(pEdhai) You. Then he left me. That Emperumaan resides in ThiruppullaaNi.
>Go, pay obeisance and get saved.

>to its shores. Don't stop me. Let us get saved by paying obeisance to Him
>and get saved.

>5. Thinking of it, my heart languishes; That day, he had plucked some
>flowers from "kongu" tree and adorned my hair. Then he showered His love on
>me. His place of residence is ThiruppullaaNi. my dear mind! Go, pay
>obeisance and get saved.

>6. Oh my dear mind! What is the use of thinking of Emperumaan here? We need

>Most beautiful Perumaan is he who resides at ThiruppullaaNi. he is my
Swami.
>Go, pay obeisance and get saved.

>7. Oh sinful mind! What is the use of not sleeping, always thinking of Him,
>who had deserted us, day and night? Let us go to ThiruppullaaNi, where the
>white waves gallop like horses and sweep the pearls to the sand banks and
>get saved.

>8. Emperumaan, who has Chakra and the plough, had deceited me as if He
loved

perform
