Dear Bhaagavaathas,

Adiyen Pranaamams.

The narration by Sri V Ve P V V S Chari is an eye opener for all of us that we should get to meditate on Lord Sriman Narayana and have the joy of His Sevai in Divya Desams when we are able bodied.

Nammalwar has made this point vividly clear in his Thiruvoimozhi " kiLori iLamai keduvadhan munnam ....." ( 2.10) and equally so, Thirumangai Azhwar has stressed this point in his Peria Thitumozhi " Mutra moothukkol thuNaiya....." (1.3).

For visiting the Divyadesams when we are young and capable of withstanding the stress and strain, we again need he anugraham of Our EmberumAn.So whenever we get an opportunity to go and have the sevai of PerumAl, we should seek His anugraham to do so without succumbing to the all powerful human lethargy and laziness.

AndAl nachiyAr also symbolically asks us to wake up soon to go and have the sAevai of Sriman Narayanan.

Thiruvengadamudayaan ThiruvadigalAe Saranam.

Adeyen has come across this article in one of our Vasihnava group mail. Its really thought provoking. Request please read........ ......... .dasan ravi

Dear Bhagavathas,Jai SREEMANNARAYANA.Recently I happened to see an old, 85+ years aged and ailing relation of mine. He lived a long life, mostly submissive and harmless. He survived three heart attacks and ailing now. All relatives around him, expect he will recover and be back home, probably for another another hospitalization. Lord Ranganatha is probably is VERY HARD and taking test of this SOUL, more than required. When I saw him the only question in my mind was to wish some thing for him. What? (1) Recovery and heath, (2) Ranganatha's blessings for his family,(3) Less pain, (4) Long life or (5) Early THIRUVADI of Ranganatha. WHAT I CAN WISH FOR HIM or PRAY LORD FOR HIM?. It is cruel to ask anything from Lord for these later days in life. Some light Thyagaraja music and ALWAR paasurams might soothen his strugle, but hardly he

is able to listen or concentrate to understand and relax.

Therefore there should be a point much early in life, before one retires (earlier to 60 age) - ONE has to take reality and have glimpses of Lord Ranganatha's lotus feet, as suggested by our PANDIT's conversation during days of Periyalwar, that was over heard by King VALLABHA and triggered events for establishing PERITYALWAR. The essence is "One has to work for night when it was day, one has to work on a sunny day for a rainy day, one has to work for AFTER LIFE while you are alive now". Extending this a little, ONE has to work when healthy for an ailing day later. Once you want to do some thing - "TIME IS SHORT". ALWAR BHAKTI AND SARANAGATHI ALONE Seems to be the savier WAY and the earlier we get this the later days will be blissful.Sri RANAGANATHA THIRUVADI GALE SARANAM. ANDAL THIRUVADI GALE SARANAM. ALWAR THIRUVADI GALE
