26th All India Srimad Bhagavatha Sathram 2008

August 7, 2008

Hari OM!

Thank you Krishnapriya for sending the link to Bhagavathasatram 2008 Trissivaperoor.. It is wonderful to see so many Acharyas getting together to extoll the beauty of Bhagavatham. The website has a lot of great information.

I had the great fortune to attend the YagnaSala at Kurichithanam last year. Unfortunately I was able to get there only on the last day, that too after the program was over. However, the area was filled with the effect of what was happening during the previous 10 days. I was pleasantly suprised to see the large number of bookstalls dealing with books on spirituality- Many many versions of Bhagavatham were available!

Day before yesterday, a special person visited us here in Vancouver (Canada). He was the chairman of the Kurichithanam Satrasamilthi (2007) - Prof. Babu Nampoothiri (a prolific cine-tv actor and a retired professor of chemistry). It was a real blessing for all of us to see him here. He was able to bring the Sathram to an unprecedented level last year. Daily attendance was in the range of 15-20,000 and in the last day, about 30,000 took part!. Many learned people of Christian & Muslim traditions also took part in the 'ulsavam', including ploiticians and film stars. He was excited to know that we had the first Bhagavatha Sapthaham (Malayalam) in North America recently (Los Angeles, July 7-14, 2008. www.namaha.org ). I had the good fortune of attending that for a few days. Sri Manndi Hari was teh Acharyan.

As some of you may already know, the entire Ezhuthassan Bhagavatham (40+ hours, Sapthaham format) is available at www.guruvayoor.com

Thanks for the 'Sad vartha' (virtuous news)

Hari OM!

Om Namo Narayanaya:Dear bhakthas,Srimad Bhagavatha Sathram is a sincere re-enactment of the Bhagavatha Sathra, held at the instance of the sages headed by Sounaka Maharshi, in Naimishaaranya, at the onset of Kaliyuga, more than five thousand years ago.

The Sathra was a clear indication to the succeeding generations, that the way of moksha, in Kaliyuga, is through chanting the name of the Lord, singing out His glory and listening to the stories about His avatars, grace, and blessings.

Knowing this fact, a group of people with an inclination to spirituality, in Central Kerala, ventured at a one-year long Namajapayajna, the valediction of which was crowned with a Bhagavatha Sathra at Kurichithanam. The success of this Sathra, caused the conduct of Srimad Bhagavatha Sathram every year.

The venue was changed every year so as to spread the message of the Srimad Bhagavatha in the entire land strip of Kerala. By the 8th Sathra, the Akhila Bharatha Srimad Bhagavatha Sathra Samithi took shape and got registered. Since then the annual Bhagavatha Sathrams are being conducted at different venues under the aegis of the Samithi through a broad based local committee formed for the purpose. The 26th Bhagavatha sathram is planned to be held as a ten day event from the 10th to the 18th of October 2008 at the Vadakkunnathan temple ground, Thrissur. It includes many enlightening episodes like Bhagavatha Acharya sangamam, Vedopasana, Bhagavatha parayanam, speeches, Narayaneeya parayanam, Gita parayanam, Namajapam, Sahasranama archana, Rasaleela nrittam of Lord Krishna¢s Vrindavanam, Namaghosham, Krishnanattam, Sapta Nadee snaanam, Govardhana Pooja, Gopooja etc between 4am and

10pm on all these ten days. Annadanam to the devotees is another feature of the Yajna.

The Nirvahana Samithi solicits the co-operation and patronage from all devotees and those who like to foster the Indian heritage for the successful conduct of this big budget national event.
