Guest guest Posted August 9, 1999 Report Share Posted August 9, 1999 Dear Hari Bhakthas, I am extremely moved and impressed by the happenings over the weekend. Though I am far off (at Texas)and I couldn't make it, I am able to visualize the bliss enjoyed by the Bhakthas. It gave me the thought of Vaikunta Ekadasi. This is also one of Sri Vittala's leelas! Perhaps He took off from India with Sri Swamiji of Puthige mutt to inspect His devotees who have left the country! Blessed are you souls! My mind has been reverberating since friday with Gopala Dasa's song Bhaghavatara Kudi upavasa Jagara ondu dina Madalilla Ragadhi shukamuni peldha harikathe suyogavembodhilla and I curse myself as Purandara observes " shishtara sangava Madadhiddhare enage aane " I pray Sri Vittala that He should give me the opportunity to make satsanga in the near future and that He should bless this sangha forever. Dasanu Dasa Sridhar NB: My last two posting to VMS have not come through. I hope that atleast this one comes through. I would be interested to know whether any of the Bhakthas stay in Texas. I am at college station. At 02:09 PM 8/9/99 -0400, MADHAVAN,G V. BINDU wrote: > " MADHAVAN,G V.

On behalf of many of the partipants, let me express of our gratitude and appreciation of the arrangements made by sri Bindu Madhavan, sri Srinivasan and their families. They are certainly the men with the " golden heart " , men who can single handedly create a wonderful spiritual experience for a whole host of people. We should say our namaskAras to sri puthige swamiji for the wonderful poojas, lectures and sermons. > > > The intensity, devotion and the sheer joy of the sathsanga had truely made > me forget the external world.

Swamiji's ability to answer complex philosophical questions with simple down-earth examples is amazing. I suggest to the volunteers to publish the transcripts of the Q & A in a booklet form with permission from sri swamiji. This way, people who didn't attend can get the benefit of his wisdom and everybody can go back to refer to the Q & A some time later. sri HarivANa seve pooja in the evening was another remarkable event. It was very moving to so many people doing " HarivAna seve " pooja with a deep sense of devotion. I could see that many of the people were " blissed out " with devotion. I urge everybody to make sure that they do not miss the HarivANa seve pooja on EkAdashi day, if they get a chance to see it during this tour. > > Namaskara. > > Bindu > nArAyaNa smaraNegaLu, Vasu -- ================================= Vasu Murthy Bell Atlantic Global Networks web page: members.xoom.com/vmurthy vmurthy W:703-247-7314 Fax:703-247-7359 ================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
