Navaneetham-'thilakkam koodunnu'-shining more brightly

[Guest guest]

HARI AUM

 

The Feb issue of Navaneetham is shining more brightly

than all other previous issues.

 

Sukumarji's in his poem has beautiful reiterated the

eternal truth , our Bhagavan, to shine in

him-'unmakkuranmayai..'

 

Gitaji's compilation, it seems is the prayer sung when

the child is delivered unto Bhagan for

caretaking-'adimakedathal'. Can somebody explain the

word-'ayussayambathumekanam..'-why life is only for 50

years??

 

Rajanji's poem reminds the famous words of Robert

Frost - 'and miles to go before I sleep..'

 

Sarojaji's piece throws light on the early Bhakthi

period. Most of these info is still in academic

circles and I think a little bit of historical

background of the 'Azwars' ( is it Alwars??)might be

more helpful?? Can someone post more on the vaishnava

culture, temples, practices that are followed in the

other states namely the southern ones. The distinct

features of the north and south. How come the Kerala

practice is vividly distinct from others..

 

Veenaji has posted the stanzas impregnated with a

wealth of info that is essential to succeeed in any

endeavour. So do pay utmost attention to the slokas

that are posted in this issue. They are going to be

Life changing ones.

 

Thanks a lot to Gopinathji and Valluvanadanji for

their very useful info on Thulasi. Hope we can see

more of such postings in the future issues too. These

pages makes the issue lighter for all to carry.

Valluvanadanji's reference to ONV and Vayalar evokes

nostalgia.

 

Induji's 'Mahashivarathri' is very timely. Hope from

the next issue onwards we will get more updates on the

upcoming festivals. I suggest that we shall start

posting even the 'ekadeshis', and similar days of

fastings that fall in the following period. A constant

reminder may motivate and prompt one to follow the

ancient rituals which really made a human more of a

human.Think of it...

 

The news, Trivis, photos ....all together gave us a

good treat. Lookinig forard to see more of crosswords,

quizzes, matchings, fill up the blanks,

identifiers..etc etc which will all together make

every reader eagerly wait for the next issue.

 

The Editors, each one of them deserve every bit of our

appreciation for the coomendable work.

 

The 'Navaneetham ' is here. Now it is upto us to

savour it and as Sunilji said-share it with as many as

possible.

 

Regards
