Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 Namaskaaram to all Bhagavathas, Adiyen had been a member of this esteemed e-group, but had stopped for reasons unknown even to myself. In many ways this e-group has been the initiator of the spark of devotion in Adiyen towards our Divya Dampathi, and having been out of this e-group for so long, in retrospect, was a mistake. It is Narayana's "Anukampa" that has allowed adiyen back in the fold. A few bits of info on adiyen: Born in Chennai, came to US at age of 7. Mother's parents from Vellore and Kanchipuram. Father's parents from Tiruchanoor and Chittoor. He who inspired me to follow our Sanatana Dharma was adiyen's paternal grandfather, Sri Ananthasayanam Ayyangar (2nd Speaker of Lok Sabha, and later governor of Bihar). Although his political work kept him extremely busy, he still found time to pursue Vedantic studies and evolve intellectually as well as spiritually. And at the end of his career, he dispassionately and humbly returned to his old small house for retirement in Tiruchanoor, ever faithful to our Sampradayam and Bhagavan's Lotus Feet. Throughout his retirement his thoughts rested on Sriman Narayana, while his lifestyle continued to be that of helping the less fortunate coupled with his incessant drive in the pursuit of Truth. Bhagavathas like my Thatha and those in this e-group who mercifully provide constant inspiration are certain to slake my thirst for Divine knowledge and pull me from this pit of ignorance and sin. Sriman Narayana parabrahmane namah, Sri Maha Lakshmi Thaye parabrahmane namah. -Rajiv Send FREE video emails in Mail! http://promo./videomail/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
