Experience with MY KANNAN

[Guest guest]

Dear Shayamalaji, Thank you so much for sharing your experience with

all of us.

 

It is very touching to read and experiencing your deep Bhakti and

sentiments. Many of us share the same sentimental attachment with

Guruvayur and our dear Krishna.

 

As Sarojaji mentioned in an earlier mail, " All of us are in the

samsara only and have not renounced the world " and sentimental

Bhakthi towards Guruvayoorappan is just a part of that samsara attachment.

 

We all are blessed to have people like you who could narrate so well

in the group. I can definitely say I got a virtual darshan of HIM

through your mail and it also compelled me to visit Guruvayoor more

often.

 

I would highly recommend you to take up writing as an alternative

profession as I am impressed with your ability of narration.

 

Thank you.

 

Loka Samstha Sukhino Bhavanthu.

 

Om Namo Narayanaya:

Sunil.

the temple. Now the entrance to the temple is restricted from East

Nada only and there is a fly over which takes us straight away to the

Sreekovil nada. By the grace of Kannan, we were able to witness most

of the poojas at different intervals

that crowded.

our turn. Although we three, myself, my daughter and we were standing

one after the other in the queue, each one was busy in their own

prayer and no talk at all. My husband knows Jnanapana and he was

continuously chanting the same. My daughter was chanting Hare Krishna

mantram and myself whatever keertans and slokams I knew. On that

particular day I was chanting 108 Hari.

prasadam I ask for a pattu konakam which they give with pleasure. This

time I did not take any receipt for archana and all the while I was

thinking if only I could get one without asking. I left the matter

unto HIM and continued with my 108 Hari. By the time I reached

Sreekovil I had completed 108 Hari and started chanting Govinda

Govinda. . Volunteers were as usual shouting " vegam vegam thozhutu

neenguka " . I was very happy that we had a very good and clear darshan

of Kannan and must have moved just one or two steps from Sreekovil

nada. Suddenly I had an urge to look behind. Though the volunteers

were still continuing with the usual pallavi, I turned around chanting

HIS name. For a second I could not believe my eyes. There was one

Pattukonakam lying just in front of the Sreekovil.Since it was raining

that day, it was completely wet. I picked up the same. I could not

control my tears .I forgot everything

> at that one moment and stood before the Recoil like a statue. Soon

I heard the volunteer saying, vegam vegam thozhutu neenguka " and

veentum varika " . With the pattukonakam kept close to my heart, I

stepped forward and reached the backside of the temple. There I

offered my pranams to my KANNAN for this karunyam on this eliyaval .

is running around this temple and even the manalathari in the

temple is blessed to have his Padaravindam placed anywhere and

everywhere and I wanted to just roll over there. But I know I

cannot do that. So what, with both my palms I collected the

manalthari and applied the same on my face, neck hands and the

happiness I derived out of it cannot be explained in words

> I had heard lots and lots from my Guru regarding Narayaneeyam and

especially the 100th dasakam which was written after Shree Melpatturji

got the divine darshan of KANNAN. After completing the first

Sampoornam in 2005, I had made it a point to recite this dasakam

everyday infront of the vigraham of Kannan in my house. Before

starting, I always request HIM to be present around and hear my

parayanam and I always could feel his presence with small things

like flower falling down, fluttering of malyipeeli etc. Ever since I

started the nitya parayanam of Agre Pashyami in 2005 I was wondering

whether I shall get a chance to recite the same standing infront of my

KANNAN at GurupavanapuramEvery year by the grace of God, we go to

Guruvayoor during vcation, but nevet got a chance, but my hopes were

still alive and believed firmly that will happen with HIS grace. This

year while standing at the flyover for my turn, all the time chanting

HIS GLORY, I realized that there

> is no forward movement of the devotees for quite some time. Then I

heard someone saying that there is Udayasthamana pooja on that

particular day and Thirunada will be closed and opened at regular

intervals. I must accept that I felt jealousy of those devotees

who were standing at the Sreekovil Nada and having Darshan of Kannan

as soon as Thirunada is opened. Slowly after there was forward

movement of the crowd and I found myself standing at the very spot

where Shree Melpathoorji sat and wrote Narayaneeyam. I did have a

glimpse of KANNAN and then Thirunada was closed for some pooja. I

decided to try my luck of reciting Agrepashyami then and there. I

bowed my head in respect to that Punyatman, kept dakshina and started

reciting Agrepashyami. Needless to say, tears were rolling down my

cheeks thinking of the Karunyam of my Thampuran. To my utter

surprise when I reached the second last slokam " Yogindranam "

,Thirunada opened and on the tope of my voice,

> I shouted Ente Ponnu Krishna Karunya sindho " . At that time for

me no one were there except me and my KANNAN. After a few moments,I

head the sheer sound of volunteers asking to move ahead and I

started moving alongwith other devotees and almost completed the last

slokam by the time I reached infront of my KANNAN. To me everything

was like a dream and suddenly I realized that there are no boundaries

for HIS love and affection `Bhakatanam Kamavarsham "

> I had a very very good Darshan of my KANNAN for several times a

day this year and I could not express how difficult it was for me to

leave Guruvayoor. I told HIM Enta Kanna, now I shall have to wait for

another year before I can come to HIS abode. Suddenly I felt as if

HE is telling me you have enough of experience this time and time

will fly fast with those memories and I am with you always. What else

I need
