Guest guest Posted October 25, 1999 Report Share Posted October 25, 1999 Dear Fellow Pilgrims, Born in Karnataka, I grew up in Maharashtra. My kula-devata is shaantaa-durgaa in Ankola, and maTha is at Shirali in Karnataka, bhavaanii-sha~Nkara being the presiding Deity. Shirali Chitrapur Matha guruparMparaa is 'aashrama' in the sha~nkaraachaarya (shR^i~Ngeri) tradition. May we all become deserving of Her Grace, and share Her message with an ever-increasing number of devotees. Regards, Sunder ----Original Message Follows---- Ramu Thiagarajan <ramut ambal short intro Mon, 25 Oct 1999 12:57:52 -0700 Dear Fellow Bakhtas: At the request of Ravi, here is a short introduction. I hail from Tanjore and a lineage dedicated to ChandraMouleeswarar Pooja. My great grandfater worshipped a Marakatha Lingam which still remains in my uncle's family. My father broke tradition and started with Ambal worship and got initiated thru Srimat Soma Deva Sarma in Pancha Dasakhari Mantram and poojai. There is Sri Chakra Pooja in the family. I grew up hearing Lalitha Sahasranamam, Trishati and Soundarya Lahari and Navarathri Celebrations are grand in the household. I learnt Sri Rudram, Chamakam formally., but that is the limit of my knowledge. I consider myself to be very poor in understanding of greatness of Lalitha Sahasranamam, Trishathi. etc so I am looking forward to learning from all the learned contributors to the group. Regretfully, I am unable to contribute much since all I know is to recite the slokam and a limited amount of meaning thru my father. Thank you for the time to read about my backround. If I can read about the others (I read about Anand), I would appreciate the opportunity to do so. Sincerely Ramu Thiagarajan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
