Guest guest Posted July 15, 2002 Report Share Posted July 15, 2002 Dear SrI MaNi, AdiyEn RAmAnuja dAsan Mukundan. (Vankipuram, Ahobhila Mutt, Bharatwaja, 37years) I'm hailing from a tiny village called "Neduntheru" (One of the jeers was associated with this in HH's Poorvashram. This village is near Vazhuthur (Thanjavur), which was the home place of one of the Andavans in His Poorvashram. I list below how slowly I came to understand our Siddhantham, which is solely a fault on my side. 1. I had my Upanayam done as late as at 22, after finishing my Engineering Honours Degree from Madurai University. Atleast for 5 years I was doing Sandhya vandanam regularly. 2. Suddenly one day I found myself associated with Brahma Kumari's RajayOgA movement. It continued for atleast 6 months. The rules and AchAra anushtanam was so strict that I could not continue in that. 3. Reading many books on my own, I was impressed with Tirumoolar's Tirumanthram and tried to do PrAnAyAma based on it. (As usual I could not continue) 4. Then a good friend of mine introduced me to Mahesh YOgi's Transcendental Meditation. (Until now, this is part my daily routine, of course, a bit modified after reading Bhagawat GitA. If many times I find that HARI nAmA is flowing inside silently, then transcends and fetch a lot of happiness suddenly, the credit goes to TM.) 5. Although, I bought Bhagawat GitA and VishNu sahasranAma 15 years back, only for the last 3 years I'm almost constanly referring/reciting them. Both of them have slowly (because I'm slow) modified my thinking. 6. As you had been doing, I too have attended catholic church prayers with my Christian friend, out of curiosity. 7. Even, for the past 1 year I've been going thro' Bhati-list Archives, but now only I requested you to register me as a member. 8. At present, I'm a member of SriSrinivasa Niketanam of Chennai, which, for the past 27 years, is doing the great kaimkaryam of renovating an 800 years old Srinivasa Perumal temple in Vaiyavoor, near Chengleput; Annual PAdayAtrA involving more than 1000 people regardless of caste and religion; and many free medical camps for poor people - all under the guidance of SriSitArAma SwAmiji. 9. Recently only that I have started feeling that I'm on the right path, wherein there is no confusion of worship and there is no commandments. 10. Now myself, my wife and a daughter (4 years) are all citizens of Singapore. We are residing here for the past 8 years, where I did my M.S. in Engineering. I'm involving myself in the Volunteer activities for the local Indian community. (Teaching etc. during weekends) It is all SrI Hari, Sriman NArAyaNA, Who is pervading all my thinking NOW and I'm now very happy to discharge my Sva-DharmA as a BhulOka Kaimkaryam to Him. WISHES: 1) To research VaLLuvam wherein a lot of VaiNavam is hiding. (This is purely because of my interest in Tamil) 2) To see Bhakti-List Archive material in Book form.
