AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM : Contents--part V

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs :

 

AdiyEn wrote about the Incarnation , Charithram

and Granthams sofar . In this posting , I will write about

the vaibhavam and VinOdham dealing with the two videos.

In the VIth and final part of thes postings describing

the content of the AchArya RaamAnujA CD ROM , I will

cover one of the the most important section on the external

AarAdhanam for the Divya dampathis .

 

3.0 AchArya RaamAnuja Vaibhavam(from Digh Vijayam )

 

In this section , the graphics are the most important with

voice overs and animation .The section starts with beautiful

Thodi raagam played on the violin & Flute . Two incidents from

AcchAryA's digh vijayam are described in this section . In One ,

AchAryA and his sishyAs are ascending the seven hills .

They lose their way in the forest .They meet a simple man ,

who was carrying water to his home .AchAryA asks him for direction

and the man's answer sends the AchAryA into a trance because

of the implications of the answer that he received . The graphics

are simply beautiful .

 

The second incident relates to AchArya RaamAnujA's

krupai that led to Sri VenkatAchalapathy responding

to AchAryA's "recommendation " to grant Moksham to

a devout lady , who performed sincere Kaimkaryam

for the Acharyan and his kaalakshEpa ghOshti at Thirumalai.

The images of Sri Thirumalaiappan and the VimAnam that

takes this devout lady on an aereal chariot to Sri Vaikuntam

in front of AchArya RaamAnujA are simply beautiful to see .

 

4.0 VinOdham

*************

 

4.1:There are two small quizzes for changing the pace of the

serious topics discussed elsewhere in the CD ROM .

 

4.2:Two Videos ( Thirumanjanam for AchAryan & Vaira Mudi sEvai)

 

The observance of the Thirumanjanam in the most sampradhAyic

way is a divine anubhavam to take in . Five BhattAchAryArs

of Melkote perform the Thirumanjanam to the accompaniment

of Purusha Sooktham , NaarAyaNAnuvAkam , Saanthi Paatam

with Naathasvaram music(ThOdi) in the background .

The Thirumanjanam itself with sahasra ThArai, Sankha ThArai ,

various dheepAms/neerAjanams is a delight to watch.

After Thirumanjanam , Our revered AchAryan enjoys alankAram and

is gently swayed on a dolai with music from auspicious

Vaadhyams in the background . Rare indeed is the chance

to see this sacred Thirumanjanam performed for Udayavar

at Melkote. The video quality may not be as high as one

would like to have , but under the circumstances of intruding

into a Vaidhika ceremony inside the garbha graham , it is

difficult to do better.

 

The second video is about the Vaira Mudi Sevai

for Sri Sampath KumAran , an uthsavam , which is as

famous as the Kaanchi VaradarAjan's garuda SEvai

and Thiruppathi BrahmOthsavam .

 

BhakthAs flock from every where for this extraordinary

Vaira Mudi Sevai that takes place after 10 PM and is

concluded before sunrise , since the tradition has

it that the Sun's rays should not fall on the Vaira Mudi

adorned by the Lord .BhagavAn's darsanam in this video

can only come our way due to poorva janma sukrutham .

The fan service as the Lord moves from side to side

and forward is nEthrAnandham . Because of night time

filming , the video quality is not as high as one would like ,

but the opportunity to have the darsanam of the Vairamudi sEvai

at your homes around the year is a great BhAgyam .

 

In the next& final posting , I will describe the AarAdhanam

for the Lord as laid out by the Nithya grantham of

AchArya RaamAnujA .
