Can we bloom flowers

[Guest guest]

Dear BhAgavatAs,

My humble obeisance to the devotees of Sriman NarAyanan. To bring to

bear in life the wisdom and consciousness that we all have touched, what

is it we are awakened to, how can we think we are realized – for all

this we have to seek “kEtka vEndum.” We have to seek the AchAryan and

learn at his feet the glory of NarAyanan,

“faith that the lord will protect, resort to Him as Savior (goptritva

varnam), the sense of utter helplessness (kArpanyam), complete self

surrender.”

With so much of aid the seeds have grown into plants but they are not

bloomed yet. Can we bloom flowers. We can make the soil moist, fertilize

it, give good ventilation but still, do we bid buds bloom.

The buds will bloom when the AchAryan performs the act of “prapatti.”

The sanctity to the flower comes in it’s being offered to the Lord.

Otherwise, it will run into the class of “many a flower is born to blush

unseen.” Just as we will not offer PerumAl, flowers which have no

fragrance, flowers “sans” the AchArya sambhandham will not be accepted,

however (knowledge, Bakti) beautiful they are.

So, “andha NarAyananE indha aaichiyarkE ippadithAn tharuvAn parai.” Now

that the flowers are in bloom, Sri. Sampath Rengarajan will gather them

to string his unique garland.

SriAndAl thiruadigalE charanam,

With highest regards,

Subadra
