Dear friends,

Yes, y/day in Kuwait we celebrated 'sravanam' with

special prayers to the Lord of Kudanthai. The

T'venkatam Group members in Kuwait assembled at SrimAn

IVK Chary's residence for a memorable evening of

'vedam' and Sahasranamam and divya-prabhhandham

'pArAyaNam'. However, for me personally, the day was

rather special in an unusual sort of way.

 

On his return from a recent trip to India, Sri Chary

brought back with him 'tirumann' -sticks

("urdhva-pundhra") from the great temple-town of

TirunArAyaNa-puram (Melkote). He was kind enough to

gift me a few such "tirumann" sticks for my use.

 

Y/day, as I was applying the "tirumann" (just before

leaving for the 'sravanOtsavam' at Chary's house), it

struck me momentarily how truly very fortunate I was

in being able to hold the blessed 'tirumann', the

sacred limestone soil, from Melkote within my palms!

For all I know, I thought to myself, this "tirumann"

that I held now in my palms and applied to my

forehead, might well actually have been trodden upon,

many ages ago, by our beloved 'AchArya', Sri RamAnujA

himself!

 

I knew I was merely fancying myself in a world of

imagination and probability. And yet, on a blessed day

like yesterday's asterism of 'sravaNam', I found it

difficult to resist the temptation to revel in the

secret sentiment that, thanks to a little "tirumann"

stick from Melkote, I was perhaps blessed indeed with

the "pAda-sparsha" of my 'AchArya', Sri RAmAnujA!

 

It was pure fancy, no doubt, but what glorious fancy!

 

Rgds,

dAsan,

Sudarshan
