Sri Krishna Kalale's posting on Srimadh Azhagiya Simgar's Tele-UpanyAsam

[Guest guest]

Dear BhakthAs : I enjoyed very much the insightful,

scholarly and brilliant upanyAsam of Srimadh Azhagiya

Singar from the town of PaalakkAd , KeraLA this morning .

 

The great AchAryan was focusing on the second paasuram of

KaNNInuNN SirutthAmpu of Madhura Kavi AzhwAr as a part of the series

of Tele-upanyasams in the time-honored KaalakshEpam format.

As Sri Kalale mentioned in his posting , the revered Jeeyar's

upanyAsam was a veritable tour-de-force .He quoted from

the great vyAkyAna karthAs such as Nanjeeyar , NampiLLai ,

PeriyavAcchAn PiLLai and quoted source granthams

such as ThiruvAimozhi , Mukunda maalA ,VishNu PurANam,

and Bhagavadh Gitai( BahUnAm janmanAmanthE slOkam ).

The experience of listening to this lecture was

like tasting panchAmrutham .

 

Extraordinary indeed are the revered Azhagiya Singhar's

quicksilver mind , extraordinary scholarship ,attunemnet

to the Loukik world's (our) problems ,parama karuNai

and udhAra svabhAvam to answer readily the questions that

trouble us as we struggle along to keep a balance BETWEEN

life in the fast lanes of the world's most conspicuous

consumption society and the ancient values that we have

inherited as Kuladhanam through our respective AchAryAs .

His enthusiasm to address us with joy at the end of

a long day of anushtAnam and the harrowing demands of

his sthAnam as a matAdhipathy are items that we can

never ever thank this yathIsvaran enough .He cares

a great deal for us here and answered the questions relating

to the role of wealth in modern day society and what we should

and should not do in pursuit of it . He drew the lines very

clearly between what one should and should not do , while

we travel along the life's "fast lanes ".

 

Sri Kalale has summarized Srimadh Azhagiya Singar's

comments very well .I will cover in my next posting ,

what flashed across my mind on the matter of

"Pursuit of Wealth " after listening to the comments of

Srimadh Azhagiya Singhar this morning .The reflections

of mine are inspired by the upanyAsam and all the mistakes

in the analysis are mine alone. I have been reading with

great interest the many inputs on this important question

raised most sincerely by Sri Mani VaradarAjan few days back.

Please treat my remarks as purely personal observations ,

since each one of us have to come to terms with these thorny

issues and seek sadaachArya anugraham to strike a balance

in our endeavours to bring us closer to the holy feet of

the Divya Dampathis .
