Guest guest Posted May 13, 1996 Report Share Posted May 13, 1996 Dear Bhagavatas, We have been blessed by a series of brilliant posts by Sri Sadagopan (on Muthuswami Dikshitar's Krithis on Sri Thayar) and Sri Anbil Ramaswamy (on Andal in his series on Azhwars). Sri Sadagopan very lucidly and eloquently captures the tributes paid by Muthuswami Dikshitar to Mahalakshmi Thayar. Muthuswami Dikshitar's expertise in Sri Vidya is reflected in his references to the Bhijaksharams used in the worship of Mahalakshmi Thayar. The additional references to the works of Swami Desikan and Kuresha were most informative. Sri Ramaswamy's posts on Andal were superb. This brought back to me the memories of Dhanurmasa Puja at home everyday during Margazhi Masam. An important message that comes across from the Pasurams of Andal is the aspect of Trikala Smaranam i.e., taking the Lord's name during three times. Margazhi Tingal... indicates that one must wake up from sleep with the Lord's name on their lips, while Ongi Ulahalanda... emphasizes the need to think of the Lord while bathing and finally Kudarai Vellum Sheer.... denotes the thought of the Lord before partaking of food. This is very easy to practice. I would like to thank both Sri Sadagopan and Sri Ramaswamy for their excellent posts. Dhanyosmi, Muralidhar Rangaswamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
