AshtOttharam for Sri SeethA SamEtha Raghuveeran from the Naama KusumAs of ThyAga Brahmam

[Guest guest]

SrI:

 

Dear Raama BhakthAs :

 

Today is BaguLa Panchami . Mettur Dam waters were sent to Cauvery river

and the dam sluices are up now . The waters of Cauvery might be touching both

the banks of the Ghats at ThiruvayyARu , where ThyAga Brahmam continues to

perform AarAdhanam for Sri Jaanaki RamaNan with TuLasi and Raama Naamam.

In His life time , ThyAga Brahmam had done 92 crores of Raama Taaraka Naama

Japam and had as a result the darsanam of the Lord twice at ThiruvayyARu .

Thyaaga Brahmam attained Manthra siddhi and after his return from

the KsEthrAdanam to Srirangam , he focused on the exclusive worship of

Sriman NaarAyaNan in the form of Sri Raamachandran to the last of his days

on this earth . Please refer to Sriranga Pancha Rathna Krithis for Sri RanganAthA's special

blessings to Sri ThyagarAjA , which was a turning point in his lfe .

 

In many krithis , Saint ThyagarAja has poured out his feelings of

ananya bhakthi to Sri Raama .One of the nicest ones is the krithi set

in Raagaa CHAya TarangiNi : Ithara Dhaivamula valla nilanu Soukhyamaa?

RaamA ! " . Here , ThyAga Brahmam says : Is Happiness possible of attainment

through worship of other gods ? Oh Raamaa ! My mind is constantly and

passionately in love with You ! I stand resigned in You , whether You , who

know my mind , will protect me or reject me . I have only to say that this is

just the time for You to treat me as Yours ".

 

Today , let us cull the dhivya NaamAs (108) that this Parama BhAgavatha

On this day , let us refelct on the meanings behind the Kannada

Raaga Krithi : " IdhE BhAgyamu gAka-yEmi yunnadhiraa ? Raama " .

Here the great Raama Bhaktha says : " This alone is the real blessedness

to be coveted --to worship incessantly Your lotus fet with the whole heart --

 

--to be firmly and lovingly devoted to You , as One adored by Lord SivA ,

without impaiirng one's (mental ) health by associating with the wicked people .

 

--to install You in the lotus of the heart , fix the entire mind on You

to the exclusion of other gods of earth and heaven and to enjoy

the supreme bliss (BrahmAnandham).

 

--- to take You as the SOLE REFUGE , pray to You as the VedAs and

AagamAs do and thereby cross the ocean of SamsAra , which is beset

with passions and desires ".
