Azhaikindran arangan inspires one to explore and be able to fathom the wonder of the spiritual significance of Srirangam and all Vaishnava temples as well as the great tradition. One need not study the scriptures. Our Guruji has delivered it so simply and enchantingly, explaining the concepts that can be pleasantly understood by anyone beautifully entwined with pearls of wisdom. This, in order for anyone to be able to taste, revel and enjoy with ecstacy the divinity of Lord rangan, also to be a good person and come closer to the bhagavan. "Ranga". Radhe Radhe.

'How can you know in which direction you are going? Why don't you do what the first-class railway passenger does? He tells the guard his destination, locks the doors and goes to sleep.The rest is done by the guard. If you could trust your Guru as much as you trust the railway guard, it would be quite enough to make you reach your destination.Your business is to shut the door and window and sleep. The guard will wake you up at your destination.' - - Krishna Bhikshu in 'The Power of the Presence'

The Spider (Taml: Silandhi) in my garden has been weaving its web by spitting out the saliva from its mouth tirelessly. I seemed to wonder at the amount of tireless effort and dedication it does to weave its web without a care to the elements surrounding it. Suddenly there was a thunderous downpour of torrential rain and a gusty wind. This destroyed the web. But once again it does it duty unflinchingly to create another (as said in the Srimad Bhagavad Gita - Karmanye Vadikarasthe....). When its web is destroyed it just sucks it inside (just like drawing inward into its Self from the material world) and out it comes again to do the job (into the material world) with matchless perfection. Just to think how a small spider is able to do this shows the power of the macrocosm and brings us closer to God !!! Radhe Krishna

In one of Guruji's Veedu Thedi Varugiran Vittalan Episodes, had an interesting revelation, for a thought I was pondering for a long time - which one is better listening to Nama or chanting Nama. Guruji says, chanting gives you twice the benefit. You chant with your mouth and listen to it as well with your own ears, 2 times the benefit. its thats simple, really. Radhe Radhe

Extract from Narayaneeyam Upanyasam by Sri Sri Anna
Everyday so many thoughts come to us in the morning and at night when we go to sleep all these thoughts and even our existence is a layam. Next day morning when we wake up all the thoughts are restored back to us. Daily there is a pralayam happening within us. if we start to think about this then we have understood the antariyaamiya paramatma within us. HE is within us. Where were the so many crores of thoughts disappear (layam) and from where again these crores of thoughts appear from. This is a pralayam...daily pralayam. In this pralayam, the jagath is available only if we open the eyes, isnt it. when we sleep there isnt. But there is ONE for whom the jagath is always present. Mahapralayam is when the saksath parameshwaram himself closes HIS eyes, then there is no other with eyes open for whom the prapancha anubhavam will be there. All the prapancha bhavams keeping inside HIM, paramatma is taking rest which is called the yoga nidrAI. Samastha jeevanam at at the same time keeping it unto HIMSELF, making the prapancham as prakriti which is HIS sakthi, keeping that unto HIMSELF, HE ALONE keeps remaining, that paramatma is in his own experiences keeping the prapancha leelas aside, but prapancha leelai is another experience for HIM. This kind of Nidra is yoga nidrA. Right from childhood, this has to be understood, ignorant people should understand this and say this is what is the significance of the way perumal, in many of the temples as well as AnanthaPadmanabhaswamy Temple, Trivandrum is in the form of paLLikoNda on AdisEsha. Sleeping on the serpent adishEsha.

Puraanothammana Radha Kalyanam - Significance Exquisitively described by Sri Sri Anna
Radhe Krishna! Having listened to the Harikathar Jayadevar Discourse Parts 1 and 2 by Sri Sri Anna countless times, I wished to transcribe a part of it word-to-word from Tamil (forgive any grammatical inaccuracies) about the description from the puranas on the significance of Radha Kalyanam in Sri Sri Anna own sweet words/ Sri Sri Anna described this in the later part of the discourse. In the Leelais described by Jayadevar, the Leelai most famous in Brindavanam is KandithAvarnanam. This Leelai is called Maana Leelai. This is an uthsavam called as Pranaya Kalaga Uthsavam (Mattayadi Utsavam) conducted during Phalguni Thirunal.

Everyday 7 new mud pots would be brought in and cooked with. Such is the greatness of the Puri Jagannath Temple. The 7 mud pots would be stacked up vertically one on top after the other. The mud pots will be broken daily after cooking same day and new pots will be used every day. They only use fire wood even now and the really great thing is that the fire wood at the bottom is used to cook all the mud pots from bottom to top.
Everyone in Puri are to accept food given by anybody who offers it to them. Food offered in marriages are none other than the prasaadham from the temple.

"Radhe Krishna" explained in Smt Vishaka Hari Meerabai Upanyasam
We all offer salutations as "RadheKrishna" but do you know where this originated from, this is actually from the Meerabai charithram when Meera called out to a parrot with "Radhe Krishna". Radhe Krishna! Radhe Krishna! as the sadhus will say when singing, this Mahamantra was first and foremost taught by Meera Bai and that too to a parrot. This mantra told to a parrot has become famous worldwide. Meera with grains in her hands, calls out to the parrot. All the parrots would come in a bunch to take away the grains. Meera would seal her hand and tease them saying, 'I wont give you these. Tell Radhe Krishna, then only I will give". Without mentioning Govinda, we should not eat, that's what Meera bai is teaching the parrots. Miras chittam itself is a parrot it seems, where is the parrot flying - towards the lotus feet of Lord Giridhar.
"Meera ke prabhu giridharu nagara"

Therinda Puranam Theriyadha Kathai - told by Kollam Grandmother
Recently my Grandmother told me this. This is rare as this comes from the old times. Some of the Sutleties are really out there straight from the ancient knowledge and I would like to share this. In Ramayana, it is said that Kaikeyi actually wanted to send Rama to the forest out of her deep love for Rama, not withstanding the fact that she was subdued and tricked into doing this by Manthara. The Subtle fact here is that as part of the curse that Dasaratha received during his fateful hunting expedition, he would loose his beloved Raama just like how Shravanas blind parents lost their beloved son Shravana. Kaikeya who was so fond of Rama wanted to actually prevent this from happening and found that by sending Rama to exile, Rama would not be affected by the curse and would live to rule the Kingdom again. This is termed as Therinda Puranam Theriyadha Kathai in Tamil.

Why RK is performed
Radhakalyanam Why - We do kalyanam to get back from Bhagavan all the good things. Bindu Prathibimbha Nayayam - like a mirror we see the mark on our forehead on the mirror as well. Upacharams, dhravyams so it will come back 1000s of times. Brahma made RK for krishna. "Radha Mana Mohana Meghashyama mangala Dhama". Sri Brindavan if we go there, Sri Krishna Janmastan (place whjere krishna played in mud, krishna performed rasaleela). Darshan shown and told by guide in Hindi. The guide will tell us to laugh, why we laugh, till now what dukham we have will be gone now and no longer come. So we laugh there in brindavan - laughing therapy, so if the guide says we laugh, Jayadevar also showed that in unision we can obtain bhakthi by being in kudumbam.

Krishna Namam
Tatah sadya vimuchyate tad viveti swam bhayam."
Apanna—being entangled, samsritim—in the hurdle of birth and death, ghoram—too complicated, yan—what, nama—the absolute name, vivasha—unconsciously, grinam—chanting, tatah—from that, sadya—at once, vimuchyate—gets freedom, yad—that which, viveti—fears, swayam—personally, bhayam—fear itself.
Living beings, who are entangled in the hurdle of birth and death, even though too complicated, can get freedom at once even by unconsciously chanting the holy Name of Krishna which is feared even by the personified Fear.

Namasankeerthanam from the Ancients - Part 3
Excerpts transcribed by listening to Sri Sri Annas Upanyasam - Ajaamilopaakhyaanam
From Bhagavatha dharma, many mantras were born. Bhagavatha (kalau khalu bhavishyanthi nArAaNa parAyaNah:kvachin kvachin mahAbhAgA drAmidEshu cha bhUrisa:thAmaraparaNi nadhI yatra kruthamAlA payasvinI kAvErI cha mahAbhAgA pratIcI cha mahAnadhI) dharma says that only in Kali Mahans were to come and that too in cauvery and dravida desham many were to be born.
Namasankeerthanam from the Ancients - Part 2
The Rama Nama Manthram is the Taraka Manthram. In the Ramayana each arrow had rama nama on it. Many claim that Rama was born to kill Ravana. However Sarveshwaran need not be born into this world in order to do this. If this was just a sankalpam in Vaikuntum this could have been easily accomplished. Rama Avataram was mainly to destroy Ravana, no it wasnt. The Avatar was to bring the Rama nama in each person and be told over and over again. Rama nama is the rama-taraka-mantra, all mantras are contained within this mantra.

Namasankeerthanam from the Ancients - Part 1
Namasankeerthanam is famously described in the sastras and generally 'sruti smriti puranesu ramanama prakeerthitham' is mentioned in the Smritis meaning from the vedam, sruti, smriti and the puranas, Bhagavan namam is told in great detail. All our sins are dissolved with Rama Namam. In Upanishads also the significance of Bhagavannama is told for example in the Rama-Tapaniya and Gopala-Tapaniya Upanishad and also in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad.

An Article from the Hindu on Ayyappa Bhajans
Erode Rajamani, hailing from a place called Kooniyur in Tirunelveli District in Tamil Nadu, Rajamani has a rare distinction of being a disciple of the doyen of Sampradaya Bhajan, Pudukottai Brahmashri Sanjeevi Bhagavathar.

"Ekadasi" Bhajans and their Significance
Ekadasi is the eleventh day of every lunar fortnight. Ekadasi is a Sanskrit word, which means 'the eleventh' day. Ekadasi occurs twice in a month, in the Valarpirai and Theipirai (the moon's starting and diminishing periods). Based on this moon calculation and taking into account Pournami (Full Moon) and Amavasya (New Moon) on these periods, Ekadasi falls on the 11th day. On this day we have to be without eating. Ekadasi Namam
Sri Sri Anna picks his most favorite among the many Namam of Sri Bhagavan in Ekadasi Upanyasam last evening. http://www.paranur.org/first.htm

The Simplicity of chanting Nama - Sri Hari Anna
Acharyal Sri Hari Anna gives his signature message on the simplicity of Nama Sankeerthanam.
A rough translation of the message follows:Sastra specifies many deeds to reach Him, including Yoga, Jnegna, Tapas and Vedanta discussion. But one needs to be qualified for such an undertaking. Yoga needs mind control, Tapas needs sensory discipline and Jnana needs the body-soul distinction. But there are enlightened souls who reached Sri Bhagavan via such paths: Dhruva through Tapas, Jatabharatha by Yoga, Prahalad using Jnana, Ambarish by fasting on Ekadesi. But the most apt means for us in Kali Yuga to reach Him is Nama Sankeerthanam. It is simple, applicable to all nations at anytime, and anyone can practice it.

Power of Harinamasankeerthanam
Of all the the nine forms of bhakti, basically sravanam (hearing) and keertanam (chanting/singing) are the best as they have great potency to deliver Sri Hari and produce the divine love for Him. Of these nine practices, harinamasankeerthanam is the best. By chanting the holy name one very easily obtains the priceless treasure of Krishna Prema. The Chaitanya Mahatmiyam states that of these nine ways of devotional service to obtain love of God, the foremost is harinamasankeerthanam. One who chants nama readily without hesitation surely achieves the divine love or paada of God. No Form of Bhakti amongst various other forms such as visiting temples, company of sadhus, performing seva to idols, listening to harikatha is complete without Harinamasankeerthanam. Namasankeerthanam is the best and foremost of all spiritual practices for attaining

The Beauty of singing Ashtapathis
Ashtapadis are never set to a particular raga. It is a Sringara Maha Kavya described in melodious overtures describing various situations of the minds between the Jeevathma (Radha) and Paramatma (Krishna), the Separation "Viraha" and Reunion and the enchanting environment and experiences within. The Ashtapadis themselves are set to beautiful carnatic raagas and these compositions are laced with raagas and therefore describe specific situations which are really very attractive and influence the significance of this sringaram on both the listener and the Bhagavathar singing it.

Murugadas is already on stage getting ready as we arrive. The spotlight brightens his yellow bandanna and reflects a gleam off his black sunglasses. For an instant, his painted, red-nailed forefinger catches the light as it strikes middle C on his old, battered harmonium. Finding his pitch, he clears his throat and begins to chant "Om." In the shadows behind him, an exquisitely dressed lady gracefully positions herself with a tambura (a stringed instrument) and begins strumming a drone. To her right, Saroja, Murugadas' wife, busily lays out a collection of percussion

Who was Kak Bhusundi?
In Uttarkanda, the last chapter of Ramacharitamanas, we find the teachings on bhakti yoga delivered by Kaka Bhusundi, who was an enlightened sage in the body of a crow, to Garuda, the celestial eagle and vehicle of Lord Vishnu. Kaka Bhusundi is a great bhakta of Sri Rama and teaches all the feathered folk who flock around him about the path of devotion to Sri Rama. Kaka Bhusundi first relates the story of Sri Rama's life, but it is more than just a story. What he is really conveying is the path of bhakti yoga.

Your first thought on listening to Udayalur K. Kalyanarama Bhagavathar sing would be that this is one vocalist who ought to grace the ranks of present day frontline Carnatic musicians.

Namasankeerthanam Part II
“Dhyan Kretha Yajan Yegaiyehi Threthayam Dwapro Archayan Yathopnothi Thathapnothi Kalau Sangeerthya Kesavam”
Great Saints have proven that Namasankeerthanam (Bhajan) is the easiest way of attaining Moksha. Namasankeerthanam involves singing and chanting the glory of Lord, individually or in chorus. Namasankeerthanam was propagated by Great Gurus in ancient times across South India and North India and the tradition is still being followed with a little improvisation.
Sage Suga tells King Parikshith that there are different Dharmas for different Yugas like Dhyanam for Krutha Yugam, Yegyam for Thretha Yugam , Archanam (pooja) for Dwaparo Yugam, 'Kalau Sankeerthya Kesavan' (chant the name of the Lord Kesava) for Kali Yugam. In Kali Yugam it is difficult to do other Dharmas, therefore, Namasankeerthana is the easiest way to attain salvation.
Many villages in India at the time of Saint Thyagaraja had Bhajana Mandalis and the villagers participated in the Seetha Kalyanam and Radha Kalyanam and derived great spiritual uplift from their participation. During Ekadasis and Nityothasavams, the Bhajana group of the village offered musical worship to Bhagavan. During Saint Thyagarajas time, the Tanjore court musicians like Thodi Seethaaramaiah, AtaaNa Appaaiya, Sankarabaranam Narasayaa, Darbhar Seethaaramaiah were known for their Manodharmams and made one Ragam their own speciality. For hours, they elaborated on their Special Ragas and demonstrated their musical genius. At the same time, the Bhajana Groups put Bhakthi first and Manodharmam next. They used invocations, Thodaya Mangalams, Ashtapathis and associated Musala Narthanam (Dance), Choornikais, Deepa Pradakshinam, Mangalaashtakam, Divya Naamaas, Vedic recitation to practise Bhakthi for the Lord through Nama Sankeethanam.
Thyagaraja Swamigal combined the two traditions of Nama (Sankeethana) Siddhaantham with Naadha Siddhantham and blended his Rama Bhakthi with the Bhava Trayams (SangeethaBhavam, Saahitya Bhavam and Bhakthi Bhavam ). He composed many a kriti to channel his great devotion for Sri Ramachandra and used it during the occasion of Ekadasi, Unchi Vritti Bhajan and Sri Rama Navami and other Utsavams.
