Aaraa amudhaay adiyEn aavi agamE thitthippaay!

Sri:

 

SrimathE Ramanujaya Nama:

 

Dearest Sisters and Brothers,

 

Scorching heat- Intolerable summer- Terrific sultry weather;

Completely exhausted and sweating like a mad dog; Tired; Highly humid.

When such is the climate (which is so presently in India), consider yourself

seeing a beautiful crystal clear lovely blue waters (not at all salty);

 

Consider yourself first standing near the cool chill waters, watching

the same with bliss, enjoying the beauty and embracing the breeze that

comes from it. How nice it would be especially when the day is so

hot and warm!

 

You feel like entering into it simply by diving in! you don't know if

you are permitted to. Someone says.. Hmmm. you are free to jump in

and enjoy...

 

you never get satisfied, you will never get satisfied.. you hug the waters

with both of your arms, try to drink too as much as possible.. you immerse

your body completely having not even a hair on your head above the water

level... How sweet it would be! Now you are inside the waters..

 

Firstly, you were outside enjoying- then, you entered with more enjoyment;

subsequently, you hugged, tasted, waved and splashed.. Now you have been

eaten completely by the sweet waters.. You still enjoy and continue to enjoy

 

Now, having done that, don't you wish your children, your grand children

great- grand children should all be blessed with such anubhavam? Of course

yes..

 

All that you need to do is to contribute for the Thirukkudanthai

Kaimkaryam..

 

He is the Waters... He - The Araa amudhan- Insatiable nectar- The Lord of

Thirukkudanthai- Emperumaan- is the Cool, Most compassionate waters that

will first enchant you, captivate you, invite you, hug you and pull you into

Him completely, leaving absolutely no semblance of satisfaction for you..

You will continue to keep enjoying Him.. you will never get exhausted or

bored... There is no "thigattudhal"... He is the never thigatthufying

akkaraa

adisil....

 

Please contribute liberally for this kaimkaryam... Sri V Sadagopan,

Sri Sampath Rengarajan are appealing with great posts on this

Emperumaan and the glory of this sthalam.. I got the permission to

post this series from Sri Sampath Rengi.

 

This Araa amudhan- (Just open your lips and enjoy uttering

yourself saying His name-Araa amudhaaa! How nice! How sweet!

 

What a Tamil word!

 

Amudham is Nectar- Amirtham- He is Araa amudhan- Insatible nectar

 

I got so much excited when I was reading NammAzhwAr's 5.8 yesterday

and wished to write this... No... No... It is only a beginning.. I am going

to let you enter into this cool great waters of Araa amudhan again and again

reminding you of the kaimkaryam that you need to perform...

 

Araa amudhaay adiyEn aavi agamE Thitthippaay!

Dear BhAgavatha uththama perunthagaiyeer:

 

I am forwarding this mail on the request of Sri Madhavakkannan

 

My small and insignificant contribution in India drew an immediate reply from

Sri. L. Rajagopal of Kumbakonam. I was overjoyed at the contents of the reply

envelope. Please read the mail below.

It is only though people like you that I get an opportunity to attempt some good

act however insignificant.

 

After I had sent a small contribution sometime back, I had mostly forgotten

about it. Yesterday, I was plesantly surprised by a letter from Sri L.

Rajagopal.

 

The envelope contained:

1. A beautiful colour image of uthsavar ArA amudhan with Shreedevi and

Bhoomidevi which I shall treasure for ever. (With an acknowledgement/receipt for

the contribution below.)

2. A carefully folded packet containing kunkumam

3. Thulasi leaves

4. A personally written letter from Sri L. Rajagopal appreciating my small act

and wishing me all the best.

 

Thank you once again.

(PS: The reply from Sri L. Rajagopal must have been immediate. The envelop was

lying in my mail folder which I had not bothered to check. But by chance, one of

my friends retrieved all my mails yesterday for no apparent reason and placed

them on my hands!)
