We said we would continue our discussions on that topic in our next posting.However we are diverting our discussion to a different law in this posting.In this posting we will discuss on a different scientific statement and link it with hinduism.It goes as follows :"To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction".This statement is the third law of motion, established by 'Issac Newton'.We will take an example for a better understanding.Imagine a boy kicking open a door. The force exerted by the boy on the door accelerates thedoor (it flies open); at the same time, the door exerts an equal but opposite force on the boy, which decelerates the boy (his foot loses forward velocity).The boy will be painfully aware of the 'reaction' force to his 'action' particularly if his foot is bare.Let F stand for force,FBD for force exerted by the boy on the door and FDB for force exerted by the door on the boy.Then according to this law,FBD = -FDBi.e the force exerted by the boy on the door equals the force exerted by the door on the boy.However since there is a negative sign before FDB it means that the force exerted by thedoor on the boy is in a direction opposite to the direction in which the boy is exerting force onthe door.We will continue with more examples on this law in our next posting.

In this posting we bring you a comparison between what science says and what hinduism says.* Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.The self can neither be created nor destroyed.The word ENERGY in the law corresponds to the word ATMAN or SELF in SRIMAD BHAGWAD GITA. * Energy can be converted from one form to another.The self moves from one body to another.The conversion of energy from one form to another corresponds with the ATMAN or SELF moving from one body to another. When a person dies i.e to say his body perishes, the soul moves in search of another body.Thus body is temporary but soul is permanent.In the sameway different forms of energy are temporary but the energy is the same.* The total amount of energy in the universe always remains constant. #006600">The Paramatma or the Supersoul is always constant.The concept of totality of energy corresponds to the Paramatma or Supersoul i.e Lord Krishna.Just as the Supersoul remains constant, in the same way the total quantum of energy in the universe remains constant.* Energy and its forms are different from each other. Atman and the bodies in which it resides are different from each other.Forms of energy are different from each other.This corresponds to the difference between the bodies in which atman resides. #006600">Now after reading this explanation do tell, is the Bhagwad Gita or for that matter Hinduism, outdated? Only a moron would say such a thing even after reading all the above explanation. We will continue with our postings related to linking this law with hinduism in our next posting.Till then do continuous chanting, Radhekrishna.Sarvam Guruvarpanam # posted by Krishna : 11:21 AM 0 comments Wednesday, April 06, 2005 Science and Hinduism JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGDear Readers,In our last topic we said we would tell you the sprirtual version of the scientific law.Did you all know that this law has its source in one of the most famous scriptures of Hinduism,Srimad Bhagwad Gita?Alright then this is how it goes...In the second chapter of Srimad Bhagwad Gita, The Supreme One; Lord Krishna reveals the 'shaastra' regarding the 'self' or 'atman' or 'soul' to Arjuna who, seeing his Guru's and cousin brothers on the battlefield feels that he must not fight with them.His natural courage gets lost due to love and compassion in a misplaced situation. Hethinks war to be unrighteous even though it was the highest duty for warriors (Kshatriyas).So he takes refuge in Sri Krishna to know what his right duty was. Sri Krishna thinking that Arjuna's delusion would not come to an end except by the knowledge of the real nature of the self, atman or soul explains to Arjuna:Chp 2 verse 20 :Na jaayathe mriyathe vaa kadhaachhinnaayam bhoothvaa bhavithaa vaa na bhooya:AjO nithya: shaasHvathO(a)yam puraaNO na hanyathE hanyamaanE SHareereExplanation : It (the self) is never born; it never dies; having come into being once, It neverceases to be. Unborn, eternal, abiding and primeval, It is not slain when the body is slain.Chp 2 verse 22 :Vaasaamsi jeerNaani yatHa vihaaya navaani gruhNaathi Naro(a)paraaNiTatHaa sHareeraaNi vihaaya jeerNaanyanyaani samyaathi navaani dheheeExplanation : As a man casts off worn-out garments and puts on others that are new,so does the embodied self cast off Its worn out bodies and enters into others that are new.Chp 2 verse 23 :Nainam cHindhanthi sHastraaNi nainam dhahathi paavaka:Na chainam klEdhayanthyaapO na sHoshayathi maarutha:Explanation : Weapons donot cleave It (the self), fire does not burn It,waters donot wet It, and the wind does not dry It.Chp 2 verse 24 :AchcHedhyo(a)yamadhaahyo(a)yamakledhyo(a)sHoshya Eva chaNithya: sarvaghatha: stHaanurachalo(a)yam sanaathana:Explanation : It cannot be cleft; It cannot be burnt; It cannot be wetted and It cannot be dried. It is eternal, all-pervading, stable, immovable and primeval.Thus it can be concluded by us that "no weapon, not even a nuclear bomb can destroy the Self !!".From the above four shlokas Krishna explains to Arjuna that the Self is never born and itnever dies. It moves from one body to another. It is indestructible, ever existing.Atman does not manifest itself directly; just like energy. It manifests itself in various forms.Atman is present in Arjuna as well as in Duryodhana i.e in righteous people as well as evilminded people. The things that change are the body, mind and intellect within which theAtman is embodied"APPARENTLY". The word 'apparently' is a keyword here. One feels that atman is embodied within the framework of the subtle elements body, mind and intellect ; and also within the five senses.The quality of a persons soul is measured by the actions performed by him on being stimulated by his body, mind and intellect and the five senses.Thus if a person steals something people say 'this person is fradulent'.If one person causesinjury to another person people will say 'this person has a ruthless soul'.If a person helps ananimal or bird people say 'This person has a caring soul'. The soul is hence directly relatedto the senses and subtle elements by people. If actions performed by using the senses andsubtle elements are righteous then the soul is praised and vice versa.However in reality atman is never tainted or affected by the senses or the subtle elements. Itonly appears as if the Atman is imprisoned in the body.So readers this was the spiritual version of the scientific law. Now you know both the versions, however you have read both the versions seperately. So in our next posting we'll bring you a comparison of the two versions so that you will have a clear idea.Till then do continuous chantingRadhekrishna Krishnaradhe Radhekrishna Krishnaradhe Radhekrishna Krishnaradhe Radhekrishna KrishnaradheSarvam Guruvarpanam. # posted by Krishna : 7:56 AM 0 comments Monday, March 21, 2005 JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGScience and HinduismDear readers,In our last posting we began with an altogether new topic - 'Nexus between science and hinduism.' The objective behind this topic is to state affirmatively that the findings of modern day science have their roots in the ever existing hinduism.To begin with; we trace the source of a scientific law to a few shloka's from theBHAGWAD GITA which was said by THE SUPREME ONE HIMSELF,THE ONE AND ONLY, LORD SHRI KRISHNAIn this posting we discuss about the statement:'Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can be converted from one form to another.The total amount of energy in the universe always remains constant'.This is the law of conservation of energy which students have to study in the ninth standard in their schools.It says that energy is always present. No one can create it. Also, it is indestructible.It can be used; by conversion from one form to another to perform various operations.E.g : potential energy of water stored at a height can be converted to kinetic energy by allowing it to fall from that height on turbines.This kinetic energy can be further transformed into electrical energy because the water falls on the large turbines and makes them to rotate and thereby activates the electrical generators.The electrical energy so created can be then used to run anything like a computer in a house, railway engines, machines in factories etc.Again when electricity is used to run a computer, electrical energy is converted to sound and light energy.Another fact which is not covered by the above mentioned law is that energy cannotbe seen directly.It can be seen, heard and felt through its various forms. For E.g : energy can be seen when tubelight is switched on; in the form of light, energy can beheard when a bomb explodes; in the form of sound,energy can be felt when a windmill is started; in the form of wind,energy can be felt when a geyser is switched on; in the form of heat.See how interesting energy is.Some FORMS of it can be seen, some heard, somefelt!Thus we can see energy through all these forms and not directly.So when a personasks what is energy and he is shown a tubelight which emits light on turning a switch 'ON'and is told; the thing that causes the light to be emitted; THAT IS ENERGY. Howeverthe person might feel that oho! 'LIGHT MEANS ENERGY!!'. He is not wrong. Light is aform of energy. But he is not right either; because energy is a concept much muchbroader than just 'Light'. So observe that it is very difficult to explain what energyactually is.This was about the scientific explanation. Now we take you all to an altogether differentworld.But not now, wait till our next posting when we come up with the spiritual version of this scientific law!! Till then do continuous chanting Radhekrishna!!!Sarvam Guruvarpanam # posted by Krishna : 5:58 PM 0 comments Sunday, March 06, 2005 Nexus between science and hinduism JAY SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGDear Readers,In our last posting we started a new topic,"NEXUS BETWEEN SCIENCE AND HINDUISM"We concluded the posting by saying that there is something that overcomes the limitations of science.Many people feel that "that something" is a religion when in fact it isn't.That something is 'HINDUISM'.So many people have got this misconception that Hinduism is just like any other religion,but dear readers it is not true.For that matter can anyone answer the question"when did hinduism originate?"Great spiritual teachers like Shankaracharya, Madhavacharya, Swami Ramanujar have been preaching people.While preaching they have said 'whatever has been taught to you isa part of hinduism'.So even these great spiritual preachers have not known the origin of hinduism; leave alone you or me!!Hinduism is the perfect way to lead a life full of happiness through realisation of Lord Krishna.Hinduism includes scriptures like the 4 vedas viz Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda and Atharvaveda, the Upanishads, Srimad Bhagwad Gita, Srimad Bhagwatam and many otherscriptures.All these scriptures have originated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead,Shri Krishna.All the existing religions till date are merely subsets of the universal set known as hinduism.Everything that is taught by all the other religions can be traced into hinduism. So its not an exaggeration to say that if streams, ponds, lakes, rivers are part of the ocean then all the other religions correspond to the streams, lakes, ponds and rivers while hinduism corresponds to the ocean; i.e its the ever existing source or the 'nucleus'.To summarise:* Hinduism is not a religion.* Hinduism has neither a beginning nor and end.* Hinduism is absolute.* Hinduism has answers to all questions.* Hinduism goes beyond the reach of science and overcomes the limitations of science. In this blog we will try to explain to you all, how there exists a nexus between science and hinduism.But for that you all will have to do a small favour.Dont be confused....We are just asking you to wait for 15 days!

The scientific process revolves around:1 observing nature2 classifying data3 using logic4 conducting experiments5 forming a hypothesis6 expressing findingsNowadays people have started developing a feeling that science is everything.They feel that for each and every phenomenon that occurs, there is a scientific reason for that pheomenon.They feel that science is absolute and that through science any question can be answered.Further many people have also formed firm opinions in their minds that tradition, religion and spirituality have little or no value in the present day world.They feel that these things are outdated.Ignorant are such people because they fail to understand that science has a beginning.The origin of science can be traced to the time when man discovered fire.He started rubbing stones against each other to generate fire.Then came the discovery of the wheel and thus began the development of science.But such people should note that whatever has a beginning has an end."Even science has many many limitations."If the above statement were not true then a challenge to anyone to answer one simple question : Can science prevent death of a living thing?The answer has to be No! Apart from the above question there are so many questions that science has not been able to answer, like how to prevent earthquakes and tsuanmi's, how to prevent and cure certain diseases.So those people who think that 'science is everything', please think again......To summarise:* science has a beginning and an end* science has several limitations* science cannot answer all questions* science is not absoluteComing to the basic purpose of writing on this topic, there exists something that helps overcome the limitations of science,there exists something that goes beyond science,there exists something that has no beginning and no end,there exists something that answers all questions!!! What is that something? You would ask! For the answer, wait till 7th March when we come up with our next posting. A broad hint on what that something is..... no no then it becomes very easy to guess.... radhekrishna!!keep thinking!!Saravam Guruvarpanam # posted by Krishna : 9:24 AM 0 comments Sunday, February 06, 2005 Guru Parampara Prabhavam JAY SHREE POOJYASHREESHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGDear Readers,In our last posting we started with the topic 'Guru Paramapara Prabhavam'and we left you with a question that why our Gurujiamma has selected Krishna Namam?So as promised here we are with the answer to that question.The answer lies in Srimad Bhagwatam and Bhagwat Gita-the former written by the great sage vyasa and the latter uttered by Bhagwan SriKrishna himself to Arjuna in the battlefield amidst the assembled soldiers of both sides roaring to go in war at any time and also in the tenets of Vaishnava philosophy.The incarnation of Lord Krishna in Dwaparayugam is considered bythe learned sages of yore as "Paripoorna Avataram".Whereas Sri Rama Avataram in Tretha yugam is considered as 'Apoorna Avataram'Without going much into details of it,it is sufficient to know that-1) Sri Krishna Avataram is a Poorna Avataram.2) This is the latest in ages.Bhagwan Sri Krishna right from the day of his birth(Avataram)and even before that(informing Vasudeva and Devaki in their dream that He is going to be born in Devaki's womb as per the earlier commitments by Lord to his devotee) till he breathed his last on the accomplishments of his mission of protecting the Good and destroying the evil and establishing Dharma in the world, has shown himself that he is not the ordinary mortal but veritably the Lord Himself born in the form of a yadava to kill kamsa and to free his parents and grandfather from jail.Throughout his life span he not only acted as a normal human being but wherever the occasion demanded he has not hesitated even fora moment to assume the required form of Lord Krishna and destroyed the evil forces or helped his devotees in that form.Such is the multi-faceted manifestation of Sri Krishna.Are you wonderstruck of his action?On the contrary Sri Rama always tried and faithfully followed the'Manushya Dharma'-The Dharma ordained for the mortals and throughout his life he considered himself as the mortal son of Dasharatha by name 'Rama',born to fulfil certain obligations of Kshtriya kings.So there is a veritable difference in the approach to each and everything by Lord Rama and Lord Krishna as fully described in Srimath Ramayanam and Srimath Bhagwatham and MahaBhagwatham.Suffice to say that 'Sri Krishna' is much more suitable to the present day world with all its tamifications which in more ways than one is similar to the period of Lord Krishna.Further in the Bhagwatham it is stressed that:1) In Kaliyuga 'naamsankeertanam' of Bhagawan's name is the only way to uplift oneself and it is more than equal to tapas,homam and yagnyam performed by people of kritha,tretha,dwapara yugas.2) In Bhagwat Gita Lord Krishna states that the distressed, he who derives wealth and the man of knowledge worships Him.All those forms are great but He deems the man of knowledge to be of His very self.Vasudeva is all(Vasudeva Sarvamithi).So men of knowledge find refuge in Him.But this kind of knowledge comes at the end of many births.If any devotee seeks to worship with faith in any form He makes that very faith steadfast(in that form alone).Now you can take refuge under this that Sri Krishna Namajapam form of worship as enuciated by Poojya Shri Shri Amma is similar to this. The worshippers of different Gods will go to those Gods.But His(Sri Krishna's) devotees will come to Him(Sri Krishna).To know the real Supremacy of Sri Krishna this statement is to be read with utmost faith."Not knowing His nature as Supreme Lord of all beings,fools disregard the dwelling in a human form.Sri Krishna has been the cowherd as well as the king.He is the rites ordained in the Vedas,the rituals taught by the scriptures,the ancestral offering and herb,the holy syllable "OM".Without going into too many proofs we can rest our faith in the emphatic statement of Lord Krishna in sloka 34 chapter 9th theyoga of royal science and royal mystery."Fix your mind on Me,be My devotee,worship me,bow down to me.Having thus controlled yourself and regarding me as your Supreme goal,you shall come to me."The very same words are spoken and ordained by Poojya Shri Shri Amma to be followed by all who approach her for guidance and blessings.So dear readers of this article,simply follow Poojya Shri Shri Amma's command and uplift yourself leading to the ultimate communion with Lord Krishna.ANNANTHAKOTI PRANAMS TO MY GURU POOJYA SHRI SHRI AMMA.RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGATHUKKU JAI.SRI BHARAT MATA KI JAI.Our next posting will be on a fresh, new and a very interesting topic and that topic is ........no not now.....wait till our next posting on 22nd feb 2005 # posted by Krishna : 5:25 PM 0 comments Friday, January 21, 2005 GURU PARAMPARA PRABHAAVAM JAY SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGDear Readers,In our last posting we concluded the topic BHAGHAWATGUNANUBHAVANGAL in which we made an attempt to describe the qualitiesof Lord Krishna The Supreme Personality.And we told you about our next topic so without further keeping you all guessing here it goes...GURU PARAMPARA PRABHAVAM - THE GREATNESS OF THE LINEAGE ACHARYA/GURUSLAKSHMINATHA SAMAARAMBHAAM NAADHA YAAMUNA MADHYAMAAM ASMADHACHAARYA PARYANDHAAM VANDHE GURU PARAMPARAAMThe hierarchy of Sri Vaishnava Guru Parampara starts from Lakshminathan-The Supreme Lord Sriman Lakshminarayan-The first acharya of Vaishnavism-starting from vedakalam;the time of vedas.In kaliyuga in the living memory it starts from Sri NATHA MUNIGAL/SRI YAMUNAI THURAIVAR(ALAVANDAR)SRI RAMANUJAR and his 72 disciples(72 Simhasanathipathis),Sri MANAVALAMAMUNIGAL and his 8 disciples,THOOPUL SRI VEDANTHA DESIKAR and his disciples and so on and finally resting on the present individual Acharya.(Asmathacharya Paryandham)The great Ramanuja 1017AD a thousand years before has established the "VAISHNAVA SIDDHANTA" for the benefit of the people of this age and propogated it through his disciples and by himself throughout the lengths and breadths of India and earned the name of 'SriVaishnava Darsana Pravarthagal'-one who made the tenets of Sri Vaishnavism acceptable to all and made all of them to be the devotees Bhagwan Srimann Narayan.Even today the sishya parampara are keeping the Sri Vaishnava Doctrines intact and propogating to "the seekers of Bhagwat Anugraham".The uniqueness of Sri Ramanuja's Achrayathvam lies in the fact that he made no discrimination between high caste born and the low caste born or other inequalities arising out of birth,wealth,upbringing etc. but gave importance only to the devotion of the bhaktas to the Supreme Lord Srimann Narayan and the unreserved acceptance of the philosophy of Vaishnavism and its propogation.He made known the secret and sacred "Ashtakshara Mantra" of Sriamann Narayana from the roof top of Tirukoshtiyur temple to all the assembled people and earned the wrath of his Guru 'Tirukoshtiyur Nambigal'-When confronted by his Guru why he has done this sinful act the great Ramanuja replied "by this sinful act if I go to hell it does not matter-but by hearing the Ashtakshara Mantra those who have heardand recited that will go to heaven(Vaikuntham)which is much more profitable than the one individual's sufferings."Such is the unsurpassed compassion for the oppressed and the down trodden shown by the great Sri Ramanujacharya.He was the first Guru whose lineage are still today upholdinghis ideals to the extent possible in the present day world of the 21st century.Reverting to my Acharya Poojya Shri Shri Amma of Radhekrishna satsangamto follow......Poojya Shri Shri Amma of Radhekrishnasatsangam is my Guru, Guide, Philosopher. My Guru is nearest to my heart and soul and nearest to my dwelling place also.When you surrender unto my Guru's feet you are sure of your sufferings coming to an end-not necessarily at once-in fact such expectations are not in consonance with the natural way of proceedings of men and matters.Everything has a time to happen and will happen only at that time howsoever you try to advance it.Time and tide wait for no man.This is true for all times -so man only has to wait for the time to happen anything good or bad.Poojya Shri Shri Amma can only guide you how to approach the effects of time to be advantageous to you-my Guru's advice always will be to place everything under the lotus feet of Sri Lord Krishna-Sri Radhekrishna to be precise and invoke His blessings by constantly chanting the all powerful sure result oriented NamaRADHEKRISHNA KRISHNARADHE,RADHEKRISHNA KRISHNARADHE- the ultimate Phaladatha-Giver of fruits of your work,actions.My Guru's liberality,nobility,generosity is unparallel.Knowing fully well that the seeker is not firm in his commitment yet by the generosity inherently within makes my Guru to offer/try once more with prayers toLord Radhekrishna for the success of the seekers effort.My Guru's Saulabhyam-easy accessability is to be believed-at all reasonable times you can approach my Guru with any of your problems.My Guru will patiently hear all your problems/sufferings and give worldly wise advice besides asking you to recite "KRISHNANAMAJAPAM" so that your actions will be fruitful.When you sit under the benign Thiruvadi(foot) you feel the grace of the Guru even though not a word is uttered except 'Radhekrishna' by way of admitting you inside to be nearer-both physically and mentally-to the Guru.You may start talking or you may sit in silence-when you are silently sitting under the feet of Guru after some pause,Guru will suddenly speak to you-not direct but to the void space as if addressing the OMNIPRESENT of your problems-you will be surprised to hear the utterances of Guru somehow directly related to your problems about which you want to open your heart to the Guru and seek redressal.Mind reading-not a bad idea to attribute it to the Guru.-because my Guru is the representative of the OMNIPRESENT.No wonder that your problems are discussed without your telling them.My Guru's constant matter of fact statement is chant plenty of Nama-Namajapam Naraiya Chollungal-My Guru by virtue of the position occupied can command you but will not-It is a soothing talk.One will always have to say-yes I will.Whether you are actually doing the Namajapam or not is a different matter.If you do,the beneficiary is you.If you donot do,ultimate loser is you and you alone. 130%">My Guru is unaffected by both the propositions.My Guru'sadvice is for your upliftment.So it is upto you to act.My Guru's suggested remedy need not necessarily be acceptable or likeable to you.This is not a concern to the Guru.Bitter pills are given to thechild for early complete cure.So also what kind of pills-sweet, bitter,hard to digest etc is required is determined based on the required remedy.So one has to understand things in its proper perspective.You may wonder why of all the lords names,the Krishna namam is selected for all the remedy,upliftment,enjoyment of reasonable wordly pleasure and deriving of reasonable worldly benefitsby my Guru? To know the answer wait for our next blog posting on 7th March.Until then Radhekrishna.....Sarvam Guruvarpanam # posted by Krishna : 1:38 PM 0 comments Monday, January 10, 2005 The Great Liberator PRAHASITHAM PRIYA PREMA VEEKSHANAM # posted by Krishna : 11:12 PM 0 comments Crowned Alive Holiness SHE KNOWS YOU AND YOUR MIND.CHANT. # posted by Krishna : 11:09 PM 0 comments The Incompatible Caretaker The Ultimate Liberator's Divine Entry ! # posted by Krishna : 10:38 PM 0 comments The Unsurpassed The divine Smile ! ! ! ! ! # posted by Krishna : 10:34 PM 0 comments The Divine Nector THE CARE TAKER ! # posted by Krishna : 10:27 PM 0 comments The Light for the souls THE LIBERATOR AND THE LIGHT # posted by Krishna : 10:25 PM 0 comments The Perfect Teacher VEDHA NAADHANE KONDAATTAM! ! ! # posted by Krishna : 10:21 PM 1 comments Surrender Yourself KARUNAA SAAGARA GURUJIAMMA # posted by Krishna : 10:19 PM 0 comments The Mahathma THE ULTIMATE LIBERATOR # posted by Krishna : 10:17 PM 0 comments Thursday, January 06, 2005 BHAGAWAT GUNANUBHAVANGAL (QUALITIES OF LORD KRISHNA) JAY SHREE POOJYASHREESHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGDear readers, Last time we concluded the topic Acharya/Guru and His Relevence in SriVAISHNAVA SIDDHANTAM.This new posting is about the qualities of the Supreme Being about WHOM we have talked in the previous topic.That Supreme Being is none other than the 'Purushottam' himself-Lord Krishna.Sri Vaishnavas who believe and practise Vaishnavism consider and firmly believe that Srimann Narayan with PERIYA PRATTIYAR(His consort)in Sri Vaikuntam -Mokshapuri-is the only DEIVAM -BHAGWAN-to be meditated upon.Bhagwan-the abode of six gunas-GNANAM,BHALAM,SAKTHI,AISWARYAM,VEERYAM,TEJAS-is the Supreme Lord of the senses-THE SOURCE OF ALL BEINGS THE DISTINCT AND COSMIC FORMED ONEHE IS THE GOAL/THE SUPPORT/THE LORD/THE WITNESS/THE ABODE OF ALL BEINGS/THE REFUGE/THE FRIEND/THE ORIGIN/THE DISSOLUTION/THE STORE HOUSE/THE IMPERISHABLE SEED/THE ONLY ENJOYER AND THE ONLY LORD OF ALL SACRIFICES.Saulabhyam-easily reachable and accessable. #cc33cc">Karunasagaram-HE WHO IS UNABLE TO BEAR THE SUFFERINGS OF MANKIND AND COMES TO THEIR AID BY HIS NIRHETUKRIPA(Without any provocation and inducement)Who takes ten steps if his true devotee takes one step towards him! how good is His Swamithvam.So we mortals should firmly catch hold of him because you cant find an equal substitute to Him.Then why talk or even think of anyone better than Him?There is none in the entire universe.The greatest Supreme Being who is pleased with your unstinted/unfliched devotion/bhakti only;not by other offerings if it is without devotion.Easily satisfied with our devotional offering howsoever small or insignificant it may be-leaves,flowers/water etc.Guides you to the path of renunciation by the simplest method of offering whatever you do,eat,offer,give away to another,austerity you practise-offer to him. That offering will free you from the bonds of works you did which earn good or evil fruit.The one and the only one who declares and swears to his disciple Arjuna that his devotee never perishes.Such is His abundant grace that He incarnates himself to deliver the good and destroy the wicked and to establish dhrama from ages to ages(avataram).The one who recognizes the role of Acharyas to the upliftment of mortals to become his devotee.He even talked to the acharyas from his Archavathara dwellings in temples-Kanchi Perarulan to Tirukanchi Nambi through him to Sri Ramanuja to Emperumana himself to kuresar to mention a few.Giving moksha to his devotees without any discrimination-whether the devotee is high or low, rich or poor,man or woman etc.Such is His unsurpassed compassion towards suffering mankind.This was just a modest attempt to let all you readers know a bit about the Supreme Being.The above descriptions are very little to describe Lord Krishna fully.Our next posting will be on the topic 'Guru Parampara Prabhavam' and in that topic we will tell you about............................................Well keep guessing!

There is abolutely no involvement of personal motives of earning wealth or fame for the Guru.A true Acharya never has any 'moham' attraction for money or power.Such is the merciful nature (karunai) of Guru/Preceptor who comes forward to help people who seek his help.A word of caution-not all persons doing this selfless service as Acharya are genuine.There are persons who act as Acharya's with the intention of making money through the already confused people and then vanish in a short time.By such acts they disgrace themselves and sow the seeds of suspicion in the minds of the common people who are already confused by their own self created disbeliefs and who are looking earnestly for a real guru who can guide them and lead them kindly.HERE THE SEARCH FOR A GURU STARTS. Swami Emperumanae has pointed out that the person who shows you the DEIVAM-the supreme being and the person who shows you the dwelling place of such DEIVAM is the GURU/ACHARYA/PRECEPTOR.Our search ends atleast for many people who are blessed by the Supreme Being to come in contact with PoojyaShreeShree Amma,the presiding deity of Sri Radhekrishna Sathsangam.18/17Sriram Colony,off Chitlapakkam Main Road Tambaram Sanatorium , Chennai-600047.Much has to be told about the benign grace and the easy accessability-Saulabhyam;and all in a more detailed description to really understand the greatness of Poojya Shree Shree Amma which will be described to the best of the ability and little knowledge possessed. #006600">Before embarking on this task I wish to dwell upon the Supreme Being whom the Guru is going to show you and whose Nirhetukripai we are seeking to alleviate our sufferings under the kind guidance of Guru.So in our next articleon 7th Jan 2005 all of you can enjoy BHAGHAWAT GUNANUBHAVANGAL-the qualities of the Supreme Being. Till then do continuous chanting Radhekrishna Krishnaradhe Radhekrishna Krishnaradhe Radhekrishna KrishnaradheRadhekrishna Krishnaradhe..... # posted by Krishna : 1:45 AM 0 comments Wednesday, December 15, 2004 "The Uplifting Hands" # posted by Krishna : 12:53 PM 0 comments Total Surrender " Surrender Yourself " # posted by Krishna : 12:50 PM 0 comments The Mobile Sathsang The Sacred Living Sanctity's Grace # posted by Krishna : 12:46 PM 0 comments The Mischievous Smile The Sacred Living Sanctity in Mumbai # posted by Krishna : 12:42 PM 0 comments Monday, December 06, 2004 THE SACRED LIVING SANCTITY ! ! ! Radhekrishna POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMA THE ULTIMATE LIBERATOR BESTOWED BY LORD SHRI KRISHNA # posted by Krishna : 8:50 PM 0 comments Acharya/Guru and His Relevence in SRI VAISHNAVA SIDDHANTAM JAY SHREE POOJYA SHREE SHREE AMMAJAY MAHAN BRAHMASHREE GOPALAVALLIDASARJAY SHREE RADHEKRISHNA SATHSANGSrimath Ramanujaya NamahaAsmath Gurubhyo NamahaSrimann Narayana ParaBrahmam NamahaBharata Bhoomi- The Land of Bharata of yore, is the land of the Mortal Beings.This is the karma Bhoomi where you can do your alloted duties and where you can uplift yourself by your steadfast bhakti in the Supreme imperishable Being.In other Lokas like sevaloka one cannot uplift himself because they are enjoying the fruits of punya they have earned earlier and after the Punya gets exhausted they have to come to Maruthya Lokam.But people born in this bhooloka, they have the chance to raise themselves to the level of God and by His grace can enjoy His company in Sri Vaikuntham along with Nithya Sooris.So it is a unique privilege to be born as a human being i.e Manushya. Rare are the chances to be born as a human being.The chances of being born in the lower order from human beings-Pasu Pakshi,Mrugam etc(animals,birds etc) are much more than the chances of being born as 'Manushya'.For such mercy of the Supreme Lord of giving us birth as a human being we must be ever grateful to him and chant his name with bhakti. Bhagwan says that He is same to all creations.There is none hateful or dear to Him. BUT THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM WITH DEVOTION abide in Him and He too abides in them.To get this unsurpassed karunyam of Lord alone,and to be in the company of Him we have to worship Him with devotion at all times.No other simpler way is there to reach Him and be under His benign grace.You cannot find such an explicit statement anywhere else coming from the mouth of the Supreme Lord, the Lord of the universe. Would you like to know more about this easiest way to reach GOD? Then wait for the continuation of this article.
