At that time I had the habbit of reading all those weeklys like Mangalam, Manorama etc., and whenever I get spare time in office or for that matter while traveling to and fro office, I used to read the same. In the year 1999 Apirl, one lady has been appointed on temporary basis in my

office in place of one who left on maternity leave for three months. The lady was a Malayalee. As usual one day I was reading a Manorama weekly when this lady came to me and said" today is Ekadashi and also Thursday" " Why can't you read Sahasranamam" instead of this weekly" To be frank, I had heard others chanting this during Saptaham, which I used to attend atleast for a day , but never tried to read the same and also did not have the book. I told her I have not read the same earlier. She told me she will sit with me and we both will read. So that day for the first time in my life I read the Sahasranamam. She then asked me to buy "Agre Pashyamai" a book printed by Giri Trading which I bought and found very interesting. She also gave me copies of "Guruvayoor

Suprabhatham" and "Narayana Kavacham" to read. I started the reading the same every day and coul by heart the same and with all humbleness I can say, now I can recite both without any reference What surprised me is the fact that earlier also ladies went on maternity , but no alternative was kept at that time. Furthermore, the lady who came was a deveotee of Guruvayurappan and had completed one Sampoornam of Srimat Narayaneeyam. The lady went away after three months , but I believe that it is my KANNAN who made her join our company for three months which changed my way of life completely. It took sometime for me to leave the habit og reading weeklys, but slowly, i stopped reading all such stuffs as I got many many devotional books to read which includes "Poonthana SarvaswamBhagavat Gita"

etc. I am also a r to Bhaktapriya Now I read Vishnu Sahasranamam , one dasakam of Narayaneeyam every day.

HARI AUM

 

Dear Krishna Devotees,

 

Here is a live example of a PRINCIPLE explained by

Bhagavan in his Gita:

 

vishayavinivarthanthe niraharasya dehinaha

rasavarjyamrasopyasya paramdhrushtwa nivarthathe

 

By reading Sahashranama Smt Shyamala tasted a higher

reading material than Mangalam and in the process

lifted her thought process which led her also to the

Association of this group.

 

In this sloka he has just enumerated it.

 

Hope we dig out more of such experiences and

understand our Bhagavan's Gita to the benefit our

daily life.

 

Thanks a miu for narrating this personal experience.

 

Regards

 

Balagopal

HARI AUM

 

Dear Smt Shyamala,

 

The sloka mentioned is Stanza no.59 of Chapter 2 of

Bhagavad Gita.

 

When we have fever we havo no taste and urge for food.

It does not mean that it has disappered from our

system.It is there but dormant. Similarly the desires

cannot be removed but can be managed by feeding better

and quality ones. This is the only way one can GROW

mentally, spiritually and physically in LIFE.

 

Below are two explanations given in some of the Gita

books.

 

Hope you grasp the word and spirit too.

 

Reagrds

 

Balagopal

 

NARAYANA NARAYANA NARAYANA

 

Text 59

 

visaya vinivartante

niraharasya dehinah

rasa-varjam raso ’py asya

param drishtva nivartate

 

Translation

 

The embodied soul may be restricted from sense

enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains.

But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher

taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

 

 

" Sense object cease to torment him who practices

abstention, although the taste for them still remains

in his consciousness. Even that feeling will also

disappear completely when he experiences the Supreme

State.

 

Commentary by

Commentary by Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur

 

" But even the fool is able to stop the movement of his

senses by fasting or by being under the influence of

sickness. "

 

For one who stops eating (niraharasya), the objects of

the senses disappear, except for the desire for

objects (rasa varjam). The desire (rasa) for objects

does not disappear. For the person situated in prajna

however, having seen the paramatma, the desire for

objects does disappear. He does not deviate from his

qualities. This implies that the ability to realize

the soul directly is something that has to be attained

through practice, not something that is naturally

possible for everyone (such as the ignorant person

fasting.)
