Guest guest Posted August 5, 1999 Report Share Posted August 5, 1999 Dear Friends: As a I reflect about the past weekend and the one that is coming up, that deva in human form (Hon'ble Bindu Madhavan) it reminds me of Arjuna's confession to the Lord. I used to think of Hon'ble Bindu as one of us regular characters trying to eek out a living in this world. Events of the past week have confirmed to me that he is a deva in human form. Only my alpajn~Ana is preventing me from knowing which deva he is. However I thank the GOOD LORD for giving me the knowledge to recognize him as a deva. Below is all I can beg of Hon'ble Bindu: 1. sakhe'ti matvA prasabham yaduktam he kRSn.a he yAdava he sakhe'ti ajAnatA mahimAnam tave'dam mayA pramAdAt pran.ayenavA'pi " For whatsover I have spoken in rashness to Thee, thinking thou art my friend and unaware of the fact of THY GREATNESS, O Lord, O Friend, out of my negligence or maybe through closeness " 2. yaccA'vahAsArtham asatkRto'si vihArashayyAsanabhojaneSu eko'thavA'pyacyuta tatsamakSam tat kSAmaye tvAm aham aprameyam " And whatsoever disrespect was shown to Thee in jest while at play, meals etc., either alone or in the presence of others, I PRAY FORGIVENESS FROM THEE, The Great One " (the above are from BhagavadgItA XI:41-42) This is what I feel about Hon'ble Bindu. I thought I might share it with you all! My salutations to your feet Hon'ble Bindu Hari-VAyu smaran.a Balaji Hebbar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 1999 Report Share Posted August 6, 1999 Respected Sri Balaji Hebbar and all other friends, My deepest thanks to Sri Balaji and others who have expressed their happiness and showered their aseervadas on my humble self and my family. The kind words of Sri Balaji are a good reflection of his love and affection for me and my family and we are greatful for the same. It is our extreme good fortune to have Sri Balaji and all of you as our esteemed fellow-travelers in our spiritual journey in this far off land. Each one of you is on a daily basis with your kindness providing us the spiritual sustenence thro the miracle of internet, educating and cajoling us to stay focussed on the spiritual life. We are greatful. Whatever me and my family have done are simply not due to us at all. Our beloved Bhagavantha is the kartha. If at all we had played any role it is all due to Him and we firmly believe in this with absolutely no doubt. Our only prayer is that we be blessed to have the good fortune of your sathsanga all the time. With humble namaskaras. Bindu ps I am late in sending this response due to several meetings in the office for several hours from 8 am on and now only I am attending to all the e-mails.
