> 14th April 2004 is Tamil New Year's Day. We offer our Mangalasasanams to

> all Tamil Bandhus on this auspicious occasion. There is a popular saying

> " senthamil " basing on certain distinguished features Tamil language

> has. It binds people together in the way of expression of every human

> emotion in a most touching manner. Tamil segment has wonderful advantage

> of beautiful language features that made the traditions flourish for

> long periods and also served protecting the spiritual needs of the

> society.

>

> Many realised souls like A:lwa:rs and Acharyas of Srivaishnava Tradition

> and also Nayanmars of Saiva Tradition etc., have all glorified the

> Spiritual resource of the Vedic tradition and ancient traditions of our

> great sages. Tamilians have the major role in protecting the Spiritual

> lineages and Traditions of our native Bharat, inspite of so many

> invasions and damages caused by many foreign rules and rulers.

>

> Even today, if there are some good spiritual/ traditional programmes

> going on anywhere, it implies that there will be Tamilians behind who

> will be playing the key role in such activity. This type of commitment

> and active nature is a boon to the Tamilian community.

>

> Blessed Experiences with Lord were originally presented in Tamil by

> great devotees during their life time. Some of them were recorded by the

> disciples to remember the event again and again and preserve the

> treasure of such experiences for the benefit of future generations too.

> Recognising the glory and importance of Tamilian culture and traditions,

> the Great Socio-Spiritual Reformer Bhagavad Ramanujacharya extolled many

> such Divine experiences to the seeking devotees and elevated them to the

> higher levels of Spirituality.

>

> One who is spiritually strong will automatically have the Social Concern

> and commitment to the noble cause. Thus, moral standards were improved

> and more spiritual activity flourished in the Tamil country. With the

> Divine wish of Lord, Acharya Bhagawad Ramanuja facilitated certain Tamil

> Prabandhas that greatly and easily escalated people to the higher levels

> of spirituality. He gave them equal status as that of Holy Vedas in

> Temple worship, for, these are more easier and direct essence packs that

> exactly Vedas ordained, which easily inspired Divine spirit, to all

> those who chose to traverse on the path of purposeful living.

>

> Thus, Tamil Prabandhas have become more popular in offering worship to

> various forms of Lord. This made Lord more happy and the rich Divine

> experiences multiplied resulting in wonderful responses actually felt by

> the devotees. People started realising the Divine experiences from Tamil

> Prabandhas and were blessed to adopt them in their temple worship. As a

> result of this, select Prabandhas of Tamil medium have been chosen as an

> equal counterpart of Vedas by many a scholars and devotees to worship

> Lord in manifold ways. Bhagavad Ramanujacharya opened up doors for this

> and strived to spread the divine fragrance to all the seekers of Lord.

>

> A devotee loves Lord and serves Him with greatest gratitude and humblest

> heart. Whatever is the service, it becomes His worship. If this Love and

> affection are not a part of worship, such a worship even when done as

> Sasthras prescribe will yield very limited results and when they become

> a part of worship, then every small activity becomes a great service

> that gives glory to the devotees and makes the devotees more alert and

> fruitful in establishing great human values in the society, motivating

> them to inspire all around them to take the path of Divine Bliss.

>

> If there is any language that is being more used at par with Sanskrit in

> doing all the spiritual activities, that is Tamil only. In Northern

> India, people chant sthothras and sing songs but there is no religious

> sanction for many of them. But, select Tamil compositions in traditional

> system are having religious sanction, that makes the Tamil a

> distinguished language. This "Yugadi" day is an auspicious occasion for

> all such Tamil Bandhus. May you enjoy this occasion with all your

> friends and relatives.

>

> We offer our Mangalasasanams to you all to be blessed with rich

> commitment and wealth to realise the " Divine Joy " by distributing and

> sharing it with all other Bhagavad Bandhus.

>

> Jai Srimannarayana !
