Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Sri Asmadgurubyonamaha: Jai Srimannarayana: The Vikasa Tarangini of Tallahassee celebrated the occasion with enthusiasm and in a great joy. The program details: Sri Lakshmi Asthothara Shathanama Sthothram. Sri Vishnu Sahasranama Sthothra Vaibhavam Topic: Respect the Acharyas. The topic went in this fashion: Acharyas are the ones who practice first before they start teaching to their followers. The Acharyas go through a lot of inner turmoil to control their mind and body to stay away from the glamorous lust. The Acharyas discard all their desires and totally dedicate their life to the great supremacy Lord Lakshminarayana with great devotion, then the Lord will surrender to them by getting into Acharya's Antharathma. >From Holi Ramayana, Holi Bhaghavatam we know that this kind penance was done many a) Rishis b) Kings, Demon Kings and obtained the super powers from the Lord Lakshminarayana. There is a big difference between a) and b) b) Mostly they did it to fulfill their own desires, and later their ego drived them to their own disaster Eaxmples: King Ravana, King Bhasmasura, King Hiranyakashyapa Lord took care of them in a timely fashion in order to protect the naive people. a) Though they were capable, they never fulfilled their own desires, they used their super powers for Lokha Kalyana by guiding the people in the right direction. That is why they became the Acharyas. By following them we try to reach the Supremacy Lord Lakshminarayana. That is the reason we need to follow the Acharyas.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Priya Sriman Reddy dampathulu & other bhagavad bandhus! Jai Srimannarayana! Your interest in involving yourselves into the spiritual atmosphere there on the name of thirunakshatra mahotsavam is really inspiring. We are sure the atmospere maintains the same tempo even in future. As you rightly mentioned the greatness of A;charya, he is the one who being a sculptor carves the raw stones to a beautiful masterpiece, to be praised by the whole world and also by God Himself. That A:charya, when and iin whatever manner suggests, Lord also obeys and follows accordingly. We have a wonderful A:charya for the whole humanity and he is A:charya Ra;ma:nuja. All of us are just his feet, that bring the compassion to the devotees like a water-pipe. Of course, the pipe gets contaminated but not the water. Compassion of the Lord is always pure and powerful. Channals are always not that good. Still, we need to accept them, for, they allow us to taste the greatness of that compassion. We offer our mangalasasanams to all the bhagavadbandhus.
