For all reasons, Jagannaatho makes more sense, hence we kept only this version for this discourse We also find few texts erronously read Mahadevavaa as Mahaadevavaa, request the readers to be careful in interpretting this particular word, as mahaadeva might indicate Shiva where in mahadevavaa is interpretted as Mahat eva vaa देप महएव महवल Sridevi, where in, all wealth and objects of enjoyment available in this world for people, might be more or less in places, depending on the auspicious eyesight belssing the place, we are not surprised (by this power of your eyesight), (for we know) even the lord of this world (Jagannaatha) Sriman Naaraayanaa, who is lord for himself, too ("Also" or "too" word is indicated by the term api) feels himself lukcy (fortunate as indicated by Dhanyam) because of your blessing eyesight The lord of the world is also said as lord for himself, few indicate that with the term Yatah, this indicates though being lord himself, feels fortunate because of the eyesight of Sridevi. This is "Nahininda nyaaya", though the term looks as if sriman naaraayanaa's virtue been undermined, this is not so, for this is made so to highlight the virtue of Sridevi (Mahalakshmi). The term Api indicating also or too, thus aacharya subtly indicates not only Sriman Naaraayanaa, all devotees as indicated in previous sloka also feels so The word Manyate दन्र्यप is made in present continuous tense, thus indicating this situation is still persisting. ं दव स ीक्षणलप मह(samudeekshnaath) is explained by Shri Bhattar in Shri Guna RatnaKosa by the word नर्यनोवञ्च मह(nayanodhangcha) will continue… 16 srivaishnavism LETTERS FROM OUR READERS SRIVAISHNAVISM KAINKARYASABHA NEWS : AHO BAGYAM On sunday 4 7 2010 I had an opportunity to submit six books released by Sri Vaishnavism,to Sri Sri Sri Srirangam Srimad Andavan Swamigal.I have observed that moment in this way.

Gita and Divyaprabhandham are excellent. wishing all the best to Sri. Rangarajan Swamigal. 17 ABOUT NAM SAMPRADHAAYAM : Dear Anna I did read the Article Nam Sampradayam Enge Poikondirukiradhu.I agree with whatever is told by you.Now adays as you said correctly children rarely mix up with relatives.Children are not interested in coming with their parents either for Religious functions or for any gathering.Parents are to be blamed.Some Parents take Pride in telling my child is happy with His[Her Friends.without even realising that they are misguiding them. There are still young Parents who still teach the valoes of the Human Bandage.They do take their children along with them for the Functions.Children will be doing what they see.It is for the younger parents to mould their children and teach them to respect their grand Parents (both side). With Respectful Regards Malathi S.गोथललन Good observation and a vert good article. It reflects the true picture of today .I have noted the observation and try to rectify the mistake.

Rangarajan Swamigal has brought out very nicely the Thirunamam Anaadhi, Nidhanah Dhaaha. The quote from Thiruchnada Virutham of Thirumisai Piran is very apt, giving the significance of five elements. It really indicates the knowledge of Rangarajan Swamin in the study of Alwars especially Thirumisai Piran's Thiruchanda Virutham the pasuram are more of numerical indicating indepth the meaning of the spiritual values. Swamin has dealt it with ease and clarity which is commendable. Swamin could have used his thoughts on the merger of the the two sects with different school of thought which never existed during the time of Ramanajua. R.Krishnan Gita – The Wisdom of Krishna Practical Guide to Right and Happy Living: 18 In Twenty - Seven Self-contained Essays: Thotalam Chellaswami, Trustee, Srinivasa Gita Satsangh Trust (Retired Senior I. E. S. Officer Govt. of India and Senior Advisor UN (ILO): 8. This oft-quoted verse is indeed a call to one and all not to waste the precious present in useless dreams of future hopes and fears of present actions; but to do one’s best and to actively live every moment of the present with the belief that future shall take care of itself. In short, we are advised not to be the least concerned or anxious about our past or future.Let us recall the statement “that the past is gone and it is history. The future is not there yet and is a mystery. ‘Now’ is all we are having which is a gift. That is why it is called the ‘present’. “Let us make best use of this ‘present’. We are to be ever alive and wakeful to carve out of our present and to day and now, the most beautiful future our mind can conceive of. “To create paradise could mean nothing more or less than living in the present, that is both now and forever”. 9 The first two quarters of the Verse (line one) warns the saadhaka against rajo gun’a, while the last quarter warns against tamo gun’a – controlling him. The third quarter exhorts him to the cultivation of sattva gun’a. A pragmatic explanation to the first formula of karma Yoga enunciated and explained above is not to be missed. Any kind of anxiety to the fruits of our work does create an emotional (or mental) fatigue in us. Also attachment to mere inactivity or laziness also does create an inexplicable fatigue of life. Both are detrimental to the development of human personality, rendering us unable to meet the human situation as they arise with confidence and courage. Thus in (2.47) there is subtle exhortation at conservation of our energy. How much energy we lose in worrying about the fruits of our work and if by chance if the anticipated fruits do not accrue what a disappointment, which entails further loss of energy, because of our attachment to results. 10. Yet another aspect hinted at in this verse is, as pointed out by S.K. Chakraborty in “the Hindu” article, “arousing the temporarily lost sense of accountability in Arjuna – according to his svadharma as the Kshatriya to fight a righteous battle though not for personal gains. The consequences of avoiding such a battle are vividly held out before Arjuna in chapter two – both for him and for society. By no means are the broader social ramifications of Arjuna’s crisis of dejection and withdrawal ignored. Indeed, the lower self has to be transcended. Only then social responsibility, humanism and all that would flower spontaneously”. 11. There is a lot of difference between the fruits of work and the results of the action. The fruits of action signify personal rewards and the result of action means the achievement of the goal towards which the action is aimed. What Krishna means to say is “do your actions selflessly and without selfish motive. This automatically would imply that the aim of action is noble and praise-worthy as there is no selfish motive. Do your actions without bothering what that action means to you individually, whether it is going to bring you wealth, reputation, or name or fame – to all these things you should be totally indifferent. What you should be concerned about is the goal of your action; you should be concerned about the “result of your action” and that is really the crux of the Sermon. The right to action and renunciation of fruits of work emphasized, though great, is not the final word of the Gita; in fact what is the work to be done is not to be determined by individual choice; and karma yoga has yet to go a long way as the Sermon progresses in the teachings to come. This Verse is further 19 elucidated in the Verses to follow – (2.48-50). In his doctrine of karma yoga, Krishna integrates the two ideals - the way of activity and the way of renunciation, to attain the peace of actionlessness through a life of intense activity, sublime serenity and supreme detachment. We will see this as we proceed further on in the Krishna’s presentation of karma yoga. 4. Formula – 2 of Jnaana Aspect of Karma yoga – Prakriti with its Three Gun’as is the Real Doer and Not the Aatman, which is actionless and ever blissful: 12. Continuing the discussion Krishna says that the forces we use in all activities through our body-mind-intellect complex are really part of Nature’s energy – the one universal energy manifesting in numerous ways by prakriti. The thoughts, tendencies or vaasanas in our minds get expressed as action in the outer world. These tendencies are influenced by gun’as of prakriti. So it can be said that the real agent behind all actions is the gun’as of prakriti. The ignorant, because of his ego, identifying himself with the body-mind-complex, assumes that these forces of prakriti belong to his ego personality and hence arrogates to himself, the agency of all actions The doer demands the fruits of actions and consequently experiences the karma bondage. But the wise man who knows the role of the prakriti and its gun’as realises that the true self is not the agent of action and so unaffected by karma bondage – the cause and effect sequence. This brings out Jnaana in karma yoga - Formula 2, stressing that the non-self – prakriti is the real doer and never the ever blissful self – the non-doer. All actions, universally, are being done by the gun’as of primordial Nature (prakriti) – prakriteh gun’aih kriyamaanaani karmaani sarvas’ah; but the fool whose mind is deluded by egoism (ahamkaara vimood’haatmaa) thinks –‘I am the doer’ (manyate – aham kartaa iti”). The wise (tattvavit) who know the truth about the divisions of the gun’as and their actions (gun’a karma vibhaagayoh), realises that it is the gun’as as the sense – attributes that merely abide in or attached to gun’as as sense – objects (gun’aah gun’eshu vartante iti mattvaa) and so do not get karma bound (na sajjate). – (3.27, 28): In (3.27, 28) Krishna is providing the rationale for the imperative of action emphasized in (2.47), by introducing knowledge (jnaana) as an important element in karma yoga, namely, the realization of the spirit soul as distinct and separate from prakriti and its gun’as – the real agent of all works, the self being the uninvolved witness of all actions. Prakriti, inert as it is, is incapable of experiencing pleasure or pain and the ‘self’ (consciousness) alone cannot be the experiencer without the association of prakriti. The tattvavit gives up the assumed association and realizes that it is only the gun’as, as senses, that are moving among the gun’as, as sense objects, and so remains unattached. In such an understanding there is no question of assuming agency and consequent claim on fruits of action by the self. The above observation does not mean that the Supreme controls living entities as a puppeteer controls puppets. The control is through a subtle mechanism that works through material nature (prakriti) and its gun’as – sattva, rajas and tamas. The idea is made clear later on in (18.61, 62). Where it is stated that this material nature (prakriti) itself is under the control of the Deity. This naturally leads to the third formula of karma yoga. essay will continue… 20 srivaishnavism POIGAIADIAN’S esnips FODERS 1.

We belong to Sri. Sundararaja Temple, Alagar Kovil, Madurai. Presently my father is suffering with Parkinson Plus and my mother is suffering with paralysis. Both my mom and dad are suffering a lot. There details are as below: FATHER Sri. B. Jeyaprakash, Gothram: BALA , Star: Uthiraadam, Rasi: Makaram Mother Srimathi. J. Saroja , Gothram: BALA , Star: Revathi , Rasi: Meenam I humbly request you to pray Sriman Narayanan and Sridevi thaayaar for my parents. I am very sure only with Sri Perumal’s grace they will get well soon. If you suggest us to do some pooja, I am ready to perform immediately. Finally I thank you very much for hearing my requests. Thanks and with regards, Balachandar Jeyaprakash 22 DHARMA STHOTHRAM Part 33. Agrahyah, Saaswatah During my stay in US I just taught SriVishnu Sahasranamam to my grand kids. They just asked the reason for recitation of sahasranamam. I tried to explain in this way. I asked them as 'When anybody does a job for us what do you say'. He replied “ we say only Thank you OK '.. Then I said this is just thanksgiving to God. While offering our thanks we praise Him mentioning all his qualities. Each glorious characters caused one name to God. Then he told as “ we observe many Indians replying to that as “No mention please' . But our custom is acknowledging as “You are welcome”. For this I came to his point and said as “OK. It is good practice. You are celebrating even Thanks giving day on fourth Thursday in November in every year. Because you all feel happy to do continuous help to all. So you are welcoming him. We take pleasure in helping others and persons benefited also feels happy for the help done. Similarly we welcome all Ram,Krishna, Gopala by calling in different names of his fame and pray to help us. Thus we can achieve more pleasures in this world. Though there are crores and crores of Namas, Bhisma selected only thousand namas and presented us as Sri Vishnu Sahasranamam. With chanting of these namas , we can easily welcome Sriman narayana to bless us all. Then HE will grace all of us through somebody in different names to help us. In the 7th sloka of Sri vishnu Sahasranamam Agrahyah sasvato krsno lohitaksah pratardanah / prabhustrikakubdhama pavitram mangalam param// 55th nama is Agaahyah . This means HE who cannot be perceived through our five sense organs .Sriman narayana is the subject not only in the sense organs but also feeder in mind and thinker in 23 intellect. Sense organs perceiving, mind feeling and intellect apprehending are not possible in this. Hence it is imperishable and incomprehensible. Nammazhwar pours out his complete emotions on the wide elaborate nature of Sriman narayana and His pervasive nature into everything , Thiruvaimozhi 3.4 contain the many expressions of Sriman Narayana's countless power in this Universe. It is enough if we just analyze the ten pasurams in this, to identify “HIM who is beyond the grasp”.as found in this nama. His first eight pasurams in this is more than fifty questioning type as “Enko''in each phrase. . Kannan is the One who is unparalleled and praised gloriously in sruthis and smrthis; the One who is like the Mother Earth in its unmatched Patience; the Big Ocean which is full of cool and bright water; the Fire; the Air; the Sky the Bright, Shining Sun & Moon, the entirety of all Objects. He can be addressed as all of these. In 2nd pasuram says as “ He is all the Mountains. He is the reat Rains. He is bright, shining, He is String of stars, He is of such an art. He is the embodiment of Gnana.. He is SenThamaraikkannan with such auspicious attributes. Like this subsequent pasurams describe Him as He is of emerald form, pavala chevvai, shining crown, with Maha lakshmi in chest, Sankham and Chakram in two hands. He is the brightest shining gold. Illustrious pearl, invaluable diamond, ceaseless light, faultless one, head of parama padham . He is the medicine for removal of karmas and sins. He is the protector, He is Nectar and sugarcane churned out in Thirupparkadal. He is the sweet cake, fruit, milk, and madhu . He is the essence and fruit of Vedas ,He is the Divine music, He is Vara Prasadhi, He is the cause of lives of Devas, and Nitya suris. He is the Maayan wonderful supreme. He is the endless, ceaseless wealth ,heaven, He is Brahma with four heads, Siva, The creator of the world and protector. He is with fragrance of Tulsi garlands in His head. He is laying down on Adhiseshan. He is retaining all the worlds in stomach and spat them after the Cosmic Cycle end and protected them- Horganse stays in everything and has everything in Him and directs everything""He is the quintessence of all, the antharyaami in chit and achit but remains unaffected by them simultaneously; He is the Embodiment of knowledge and not affected by the karmmas even if He is an antharyami. He is with limitless characters not in a position to identify with five sense He is wearing the fragrant Garland flowers surrounded by the humming bees; He stays closer to devotees . There are lot of such characters with Sriman narayana and so HE is Aghrahya. The next Nama is Saasvatah (56) is that which remains at all times the same. He who is eternal,permanent, changeless in all three periods of time. He is not conditioned by any time. HE is illuminating time and not affected by what it illumines. In Narayana Suktham “Sahasra seersham Devam Viswaksham Viswa sambhavam ' denotes the same as “Narayana who has thousands of heads, who sees everywhere, who does good to all the world, who is the world, who is indestructible, who is the greatest destination,who is much greater than world, who is forever, who destroys sins and sufferings, and His presence inside makes the world alive. Similarly in Gita 14.27 Sasvatsya ca dharmasya it is declared by Sri Krishna as “He is the basis of Brahman, the positive immortality of timeless dharma and eternal bliss. Dharmic way of life is the very breath, the road to self realisation . Those who walk along it are dear to the lord. . He dwells permanently with all that are truthful , whose deeds spring from dharma. To be continued......

The eastern sky has become bright and the buffaloes are going to graze and the girls in the Ayarpadi started going to perform the vratha and we have stopped them in order to wake you up. Awake , you , who is of pure form that destroys all sins. Let us sing the glory of Him who killed the demon Kesi and the wrestlers. He is the Lord of the devas who when approached and prayed, will shower His grace on us after judging our fitness. Andal is waking up another girl by citing the signs of daybreak. 27 Keez vAnam veLLenru, erumai siru veedu- The eastern sky is lighting up before dawn. The buffaloes are sent for grazing the dew covered grass in the early morning, as it makes them yield more milk whereas the cows are allowed to graze later as they cannot digest the wet grass. pOvAnpOginrArai pOgAmal kAtthunnai- The rest of the girls have already started for the nonbu and Andal says that she has stopped them to wait for this girl. kOdhukalmudaiyapAvai- this girl is pure by which she is capable of breaking, udaiya, the sins kOdhukalam. she is called pAvai because she is pretty like an idol. mAvAi piLandhAn - one who killed the demon Kesi who came in the form of horse to kill Krishna. mallarai mAttiya - one who destroyed the wrestlers of the court of Kamsa. dhevAdhidhEvanai- He is the Lord of the celestials.The commentators find reference here to the expression 'ayarvarum amarargaL adhipathi,' the Lord of the immortals, in the first pAsuram of the thiruvaimozi of NammAzvAr, who is implied by this pASuram. For the individual soul it is night till the awareness of the Lord dawns, only when, the day breaks. The knowledge dawns through the instruction of the Acharyas like Ramanuja and Desika who are described by the epithets 'mAvAi piLandhAn,' as they break the influence of the senses whcih are compared to the horse that runs hither and thither drawn by the sense objects, and mallarai mAttiya, because they win over the arguments of the opponents to establish thier views firmly. They are the dhEvas who have performed the above said feats and the Lord is the dhEvAdhidhEva. AvAvenru ArAindhu arulElO -,If we go and sing His glory He will shower His grace on us after ascertaining our worth. This pasuram is considered as a reference to NammAzvAr for the following reasons. He refers himself as pAvai in thiruvaimozi.The word ezundhirai, get up, may apply to him as he alone is seated among the AzvArs in idol form. . He rose as the sun in kaliyuga to dispel the darkness of ignorance and his light was visible to Madhurakavi AzVar in kAsi which attracted him to the place where NammAZvAr was and he became the disciple of NammAZvAr..KeezvAnam veLLenru denotes the light of the AzvAr. 28 SRIVAISH NAVISM PALSUVAI Virundhu ]THIRUVALLIKENI MUDALAZHWARGAL AND LOKACHARIAN VARUSHA THIRUNATCHATHIRAM - AIPASSI - OONAM, AVITTAM AND SATHAYAM – Dear Srivaishnavas, Kindly view the following link for some pictures taken during Mudalazhwargal and Lokacharian varushathirunatchathiram at Thiruvallikeni. http://picasaweb.google.com/kasthurirngn/MUDALAZHWARANDLOGARIYANTHIRUNATCHATHIRAM 131415NOV2010?feat=directlink apthan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| முன்வனார் கமாைிந்த முவற தப்பாமல் வகட்டு.. மன்னிய சீர் மாறன் |கவல உணைாகப்கபற்வறாம்...! பின்வனார்ந்து தாம் அதவனப் வபசிவய.. |பிறர் மினுக்கம் கபாறாவம இல்லாப் கபருவமயும் கபற்வறாவம!! |மணைாள மாமுனிகவள இன்னும் ஒரு நூற்றாண்டிரும்!! | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| f18NOV;KAISIKAPURANA PATANAM MP3 / 45TH AZAGHIUASINGAR THIRUNAKSHTRA DINAM ON 17 NOV PHOTOS 29 Sri Ahoabila Mutt Chembur organised 'KAISIKAPURANA PATANAM' at temple premises,Devanarvilakam Sri Saranathan swamin read and explianed Kaisikapuranam.Audio MP3 of tis is at ; http://www.esnips.com/web/KAISIKAPURANAPATANAM/ site for audio http://www.esnips.com/doc/1365005b-b4a6-4a98-91bc-9ad166959398/KAISIKA-PURANAPATANAM stearming audioAt Sri Ahobila Mutt Selayur,45th Srimad Azaghiyasingar Tirunakshtra Dinam (uttirattadhi karthikai) was celebrated on 17 Nov 2010.The Thirunakshtra utsavam is on 14 Dec2010,Photos of 17 Nov,shared by Sri Vasudevan is at; http://ramaswamy03.shutterfly.com/6022 veeraraghavan SRI BALAJI PAVITHROTHSAVA MAHAPOORNAHUDI;19 NOV 2010; SRIMAD ANDAVAN ASRAMAM DOMBIVILI Videos are now uploaded at ; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsvTf7NGI_k Link for veda satrumurai http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4AGUSG8tAI Link for prabandha Satrumureai and Arulappadu http://srimadandavan.shutterfly.com/1220 Photo album.

SRI NARASIMHA DARSHANAM BY.Sri.JEGANNAATHAN.K.S. http:pbase.com/svami/shanthigram SRI NARASIMHA DARSHANAM -20. GORUR. BrahmA Sivasthvam PurushOtthamasccha NaarAyaNOsow maruthAm Pathisccha | ChandhrArka vaayvAgni MaruthgaNAsccha TvamEvatham tvaam Sathatham NathOsmi || This slokam is the essence of the Vedic Principle, “Ucchishta” or “Ut-sista Brahmam” that reveals the Lord as the final reality or the one that exists as the undecaying self, when all else is gone. He takes the form of all the Gods of many attributes and functions. Sri RamA recognizes Sri Narasimha BhagavAn as indweller of Brahma, SivA, Maruth DevAs, Vaayu, Moon, Sun, Agni and every divine principle. Sri RamaA says that He salutes that grandest of Grand principles, Sri NarasimhA as Ucchishta Brahmam and Aadhi Murthy (Moolam). 38 This slOkam is of the essence of many passages of the VedAs. The echoes of this slOkam are heard in these illustrative Veda Manthrams: sarvE asmin dEvA eka vruthO bhavanthi (Atharvana Vedam XII.4.21) MEANING : The entire DevAs merge out and become one in Him alone. Rg Vedic Passages (RV .II .1.4, 1.6 and 1.7): You are the One known as Agni , King VaruNA , MitrA , AAryamaan or amsA.--- You are the Dravinodha (giver of wealth), deva, savithru, ratnadhaa (the store of gems), bhaga (the effulgent) and nrupathi (the Lord of men) - You are the one, whom seers call by various names, such as IndrA, MitrA, VaruNA, Agni, DivyA, SuparNA, GaruthmAn, YamA and Matarisvan. Yajur vedam salutes the supreme Lord as the one everlasting principle, even if He is saluted with different names: “He alone is Agni, the same He is AdityA, the same one is known as Vaayu, and Chandramaa. He again is the same one known as SukrA, Brahman, Apaah or Prajaapathi”. (Yajur Vedam: XXXII .1).

There are two temples . One is ParavasudevarTemple and little further is Yoga Narasimha temple. It is Udbhavam Moorthy. The moorthy of Narasimha is Facing West, because the Gokarna MahA Rishi did penance facing East. Because of Gokarna MahA Rishi this is known as Gokarna Kshetra. Hemavathi river is flowing near by.

SLOKAS. 70 . ApUryamAnamatishtham samudramApah pravisanyi I tadvatkAmA yam pravisanti sarvE sa sAntimApnoti na kAma-kAmi II A PERSON WHO IS NOT DISTURBED BY THE INCESSANT FLOW OF DESIRES-THAT ENTER LIKE RIVERS INTO THE OCEAN, WHICH IS EVERBEING FILLED BUT IS ALWAYS STILL – CAN ALONE ACHIEVE PEACE, AND NOT THE MAN WHO STRIVES TO STISFY SUCH DESIRES. 42 Ivargal Tiruvakku The power of truth : When Lakshmana and Indrajith faced each other in battle, none of Lakshmana's arrows had any effect on Indrajith. Finally, Lakshmana took an arrow from the quiver and said: “If it is a fact that Rama is an adherent of truth, let this arrow kill Indrajith.” And that arrow felled Indrajith. The Ramayana shows the power of truth, said M.V. Anantapadmanabhachariar. There lived in Srirangam a great Vaishnavite Acharya called Nampillai, whose discourses on the Ramayana attracted huge crowds. Also living in Srirangam at the time was Naduvil Thiruveedhi Pillai, who never attended any of these Ramayana discourses, because he thought that he himself was quite knowledgeable, and there was nothing new for him to learn from Nampillai. One day, he heard that the king was giving gifts to scholars. So he went to receive the gifts. Himself well-read, the king would not give gifts to anyone without checking their knowledge. He told Naduvil Thiruveedhi Pillai that he would give him gifts if he answered his question. Naduvil Thriuveedhi Pillai agreed. The king referred to Lord Rama's statement that He was a man, the son of Dasaratha. If this were so, how could a mere man grant Jatayu moksha? Naduvil Thriuveedhi Pillai did not know the answer. He left the place and accosted a man who had been attending Nampillai's Ramayana discourses and put the question to him. He said Nampillai had explained this by saying that it was not Rama who gave Jatayu moksha, but His words. Rama was the embodiment of Truth, and what He said had to come true. If anyone else were a staunch adherent of truth like Rama, his words too would have the same effect, said the man who had regularly attended Nampillai's lectures. Naduvil Thiruveedhi Pillai returned to the king and gave him Nampillai's explanation. Pleased with the reply, the king gave him gifts in abundance. Naduvil Thiruveedhi Pillai took the gifts to Nampillai and told him that the gifts should rightly belong to him. All the gifts the king had given were for just a few words of Nampillai. Thus the Ramayana establishes the significance of truth.
