Guest guest Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Dear Friends,First of all I would like to thank the moderator Sunil (btw, my brother is also Sunil) for approving my request to join the group.As desired, a brief info about myself & how we came to know of the www.guruvayoor website and .As you may have noticed, I am Anil, staying in Singapore with my wife Preetha and two daughters Neha & Netra (I did see someone looking for names starting with N!).We pray at the Krishna temple in Singapore (Guruvayoorappan is here in this temple too) and the priest during his communications with us, assumed (since we said our home town is quite near to Guruvayoor) us to read the Bhagavatham every evening, and he informed us that they read the Bhagavatham every evening in the temple too.So we started to worship during the Bhagavatham time in the temple (which is just before the temple closes), which even our children enjoyed praying alongwith the priest.As both of us did not know the lyrics properly, and with sansrikt language quite tedious to understand, we did an online search for a malayalam version and came across the website.The information provided on the website is in abundance, informative and to guide a devotee.The emails are also very informative, with good discussions to see us through these difficult times... which actually prompted me to respond with an email, which should encourage everyone of us to keep communicating in the group.Have a Good Day,Anil & familyguruvayur Moderator <guruvayur-owner >anilnnSent: Friday, May 8, 2009 3:40:30 PMFile - Guruvayur Group Membership - info request Hello.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Dear shri Anilji, Welcome to Guruvayur groups.Beleive me, every member in this group has been directed here by Bhagawan himself. This is a pure group of ordinary people with extra -ordinary devotion to Guruvayurappan. Nice to know you are from singapore. Let me share a co-incidence with you and as to how our Lord works. It has been a long desire of me and my family( husband, son and daughter) to visit singapore and malaysia and God willing we may be making a trip end of this month. Yesterday while looking up on the net I was thinking if there is any temple of Lord guruyaurappan there. Lo, and today a new member to the group from singapore, confirming of a temple there. Is this not sweet divine intervention? I would be obliged if you could please send me details of which area/street the temple is and timings etc. if it is okay with you. Thanking You.

Is this not sweet divine intervention? ............................. --\ ---------- Dear Jayashreeji: Yes, yes it is!!! So often, on one or two lists of which I am a member there is talk about " dropping " all concepts of the Lord or Ishwara who comes and goes, etc. He never comes and goes, but is always here, even if we are not always tuned in:-) I ask you, why drop such sweetness for nothingness? While I am still here, ordinary and embodied, all I can say is Hare Krishna!!! Thanks for sharing your insight. In His Service, Radhe Om Namo Narayanaya! PS We have not heard from him in a long time... saying a quiet prayer for Vinodkrishnaji.... chant Hare Krishna and be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
