BRINDHAAVANA SAARANGAA KRITHI

[Guest guest]

Dear Rasikaas of Sri Dikshithar Krithis :

 

One of our dear members brought to my attention

a portion of CharaNa sAhithyam that I had omitted

inadvertently . I am glad that he pointed this out .

 

The words omitted were: MUNI SANKATAHARANA GOVINDHA .

 

It occurs in the CahraNa section : " AkaLanga DarpaNa

kapOla visEsha MUNI SANKATAHARANA GOVINDHA

VenkataramaNa Mukhunda sankarshaNa ----"

 

" Muni SanakataharaNa Govindha " alludes to the story

in Srimadh Bhaagavahtam , where Lord KrishNA brought

back alive the dead son of his guru ( Sandheepa Muni )

from the kingdom of DharmarAjA ( Yama dEvan ) and

destroyed the sorrow of the griving father . KruishNA

and KusElA had VedAdhyanam with Sandheepa Muni and

KrishNA performed the miraculous deed and brought

back the AchAryA'son and presented him as GurudakshiNA .

 

LOrd Govindhan removed the sankatams ( SankataharaNam )

of the Muni (Sage Saandheepi ) and Dheekshithar saluted

Sri RanganAtha as SankataharaNa Govindhan .
