Guest guest Posted November 2, 2001 Report Share Posted November 2, 2001 Before i start on my introduction, i sincerely bow down to the Kamala PAdham of the paramAchArya of ALL, Sri EmberumAnAr to bless this soul to live as a true vaishnavan. SrimathE rAmAnujAya Namaha. My Humble respects to all, I am Ravi C V currently in Raleigh, NC. I am doing my Masters here in NC state university. I would like to apologise if my way of writing is not in coformity with the way the bakthAs write. I assure to learn from my mistakes and improve. I am very much interested in Srivaishnava Sampradhayam. Like in one of the slokams (taht i know) in the NAlAyira Divyaprabandham, where an Azhwar( sorry for being ignorant abt the name of the particular azhwar) asks sriman NArAyanA to accept Him because in this material world, a jeevaathma spends more time in doing things other than doing bhagavath kainkaryam, i felt i have not learnt and understood much abt our sampradhayam the past 22 years. But i have the interest to learn and i hope by the Lord's blessings and grace i start living a more purposeful Human. In India, i slowly gained in interest to listen to upanyasam's by great scholars like Sri. U.Ve Sundar Kumar, Poojya Premaji, Sri Sri AnnA, Sri U.Ve Vellukudi Krishnan, Vaikunda Vaasi Shri. Mukkur Swamy, Shri and lot other MahAns. I have gone to Lectures on Srimath Bhagavatham and have also listened to epics like the mAhabharatha and Ramayana by the scholars. I realise that without His Blessings and Grace i can't listen to his "Kalyaana Gunangal". So i bow down to His Thiruvadi and thank Him for His blessings. Now here in the US, i felt very bad to miss these, but God has continued to shower his blessings by having me linked with this bakthi list. Over the past few days, i am learning a lot of new things from here and i hope in the future with the blessings of all Vaishnavas and forgot not the ever needed blessings of Shri emberumAnAr and the Azhwars and Aacharyas, i will be able to understand this great sri Vaishnava sampradhAyam and do justice to the birth that Sriman Narayana has blessed on me by doing Kainkariyams to HIM under His guidance and Grace. Om NamO NARAyaNAya. Srimathe RAmAnujAya Namaha. AzhwAr thiruvadigale Sharanam. Sri MuthaliyAnDAn swamy ThiruvadigalE Sharanam. - Adiyen DAsan Ravi. _______________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
