Dr. Aralumallige Parthasarathy's US GLOBAL MISSION

[Guest guest]

Dear VMS Members,

 

Dr. Aralumallige Parthasarathy, a professer at Bangalore University has

taken up a noble, and wonderful GLOBAL MISSION of spreading great thoughts

and stories on Daasa Saahitya, and Indian Values. His lectures have become

famous all around the globe for their fervour, love, and passion with which

he dignifies himself when producing these presentations. He has already

visited many cities and delivered great lectures in those places as well.

 

He recently visited our home in Chicago to give lectures on two different

topics. His first lecture was in Kannada, and I must say, it brought me to

tears at some points. It was completely on Sri Purandara Daasa, and his

contributions to the Daasa Saahitya school and it's literature. He spoke

beautifully on Sri Purandara's life, it was truly a feeling of closeness

with the great saint that Dr. Parthasarathy allowed us all to have. He spoke

as if he was in the midst of the very happenings--

 

a)--Srinivasa Nayaka's life before renunciation

b)--How he began to see the error of his ways, living a material life etc.

c)--His songs were also narrated with such precise beauty by Dr.

Parthasarathy and he allowed us to be awed at the vast amount of songs the

great Daasa had produced.

 

Dr. Parthasarathy also gave a stunning lecture on the Bhagavata. He included

the 24 gurus that are present in the world around us, those beings which

allow us so much knowledge to learn, yet we always seem to miss them. For

example, he told us about the elephant, and how it can be a teacher. How the

air we breathe, how the water we drink, how the fire we recieve our heat

from, how they can all teach us lessons in some way or another. And Dr.

Parthasarathy allowed us to learn it, all in the context of Sri Krishna's

speaking to Uddhava in the Bhagavata.

 

He has written numerous books on these subjects which have also become

famous. His books are easy-to-read and deal with hard, philosophical

concepts with very simple language. I recommend to all who can read Kannada

to read his books. Some English books have also been written by him, which

are also stunning. He is a humble, yet brilliant scholar who all should

meet.

 

If one is yearning to contribute to a noble and just cause, then I urge all

of you who see Dr. Parthasarathy during his tour of the US, to contribute to

his heartfelt cause of spreading Daasa Saahitya, and Indian Values,

especially to children. He is also hoping to set up workshops for kids so

they can also become knowledgeable about the values and ethics of the Hindu

religion. As he said so himself, " ...this is my passion. All people have

their own passions, but this spreading of values and Haridaasa Saahitya is

mine. "

 

Sincere Regards,

 

Kaushik Gururajan
