[lecture-Announce] AshTa shlOki discourse this saturday (August 17, 2002)

[Guest guest]

SrImatE rAmAnujAya namaha

 

Dear bhAgavathAs,

 

We are honored and delighted to announce the next live upanyaAsam

(discourse) inTamil by Sri U Ve E S Bhoovarahachar Swamy on Sri ParAsara

BhaTTar's ashTa shlOki.

 

Sri Bhoovarahachar swamy's upanyasams have the uncanny ability to bring to

light abstruse shaastraarthams in a very elegent yet simple manner, and

everyone of you is strongly urged to dial in and partake of the divine

nectar of AzhwAr AchArya aruLiccheyals seamlessly laced into a discourse on

AshTashlOki.

 

AshTashlOki is considered to be one of the most insightful works of renowned

Sri vaishNava Acharya, Sri parasara bhaTTar (PB), whose divine insights and

consummate mastery of the conceptual underpinnings of srI vaishNavam were

matched only by his devotion to emberumAnAr and srI ranganAtha.

 

In AsTashlOki, swamy PB delineates the very essence of the thirumantram,

dvayam and charam shlOkam, in eight stanzas. The first four stanzas

describe the meanings expounded in the thirumantram, stanzas five and six

lay out the essense of dvayam and the last two stanzas provide detail the

quintessence of Sri KrishNa charama shlOkam.

 

Sri Bhoovarahachar swamy, whose endearing style of delivery is marked by the

ability to simplify, communicate, difficult to comprehend tattvArthams

(familiar to all those who have dialled into the previous upanyasams) will

conclude the current series on AshTa shlOki tomorrow, with an exposition on

charama shlOkArtham as detailed in ShlOka No. 8

 

Since this would be the final upanyasam on ashTa shlOki, all devotees are

strongly encouraged to dial in and partake of Sri Parasara BhaTTar's

anugraham and the nectar of his aruLiccheyals.
