Guest guest Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Bhakthi rathnakara In srimadbhagvatham it is said, kale khalu bhavishyanthi naaraayaNa paraayaNaaH In Kaliyuga there will be devotees of Lord Narayana kvachith kvachith maharaja dhravideshu cha bhooriSaH In some places, abundantly in the south. kavereecha mahaapuNyaa partheechee cha mahanadhee along the river Kaveri and Mahanadhee , praayo bhakthaa bhagavathi vaasudheve amalaasayaaH devotees of the Lord Vasudeva, with pure hearts. We see that the bhakthi and bhagavatha cult spread widely only the south along the river Kaveri and in the regions where the river Mahandhi flows as mentioned in srimadbhagavatham, though the devotees of the Lord were spread over the whole of India. In south we have the azvars in Tamilnadu, Purandara dasa, Kanaka dasa among the devotees in Karnataka, Ramadasa from Andhra and Thyagaraja, who lived on the banks of Kaveri, though a telugu speaking Brahmin and in Kerala we had Poondhanam, Narayana Bhattadri and others. All of themspread bhakthi through their compositions which are immortal and serve as the medium of bhakthi till date. Along the banks of Mahandhi was had several devotees of Panduranga, whose abhangs are popular and stand as examples of bhakthi through namasankeerthana. Towards north Meerabai, Tulasidas, Jayadeva, Surdas and others spread the bhakthi movement through their bajans. We shall see the greatness of the devotees from Mahrashtra to Orissa across the Northern India in this narration. Let us start with Meera, who stands out due to her devotion to Krishna was similar to Andal of Tamilnadu. Her bajans are as popular as the Thiruppavai of Andal.
