Guest guest Posted February 26, 2000 Report Share Posted February 26, 2000 Dear friends, My name is Dr.K Gururajan. I am the father of Kaushik gururajan ,14 year old son, whom you all know . He often puts up articles about Dvaita philosophy on vms and Cms. Recently i came in contact with a devotee of Sri Rayaru stationed in Madras.He has experienced numerous miracles of sri Raghavendra in his life. He continues to experience miracles in his house even now.. His name is Mr Ashok and wife is Mrs Bala. I have given below the emails received by me from him and his proposal to continue propogating Sri Rayarus Mahimai and also interested in spreading Dvaita philosophy . He is planning to publish RAYARU's works in CD format. Please read this mail and contact me at kris50 or thru VMS. Following are the various emails i received from him during last 2 weeks : February 11, 2000 Dear Dr.Gururaj, We (Bala & Ashok) are excited writing this letter to you and your family. We are devotees of Shri Shri Raghavendra Swamy and based at Chennai. Our purpose is to outline a Video proposal on ‘THE PRESENT DAY MIRACLES OF SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’. Before we get to it, a brief about ourselves: We are professional makers of Short films and TV commercials functioning in the banner ‘Nityajaye Creations…Bala & Ashok Films’ for the last thirteen years! We have wide experience handling multi functional films. (Bala is a lawyer by qualification and Ashok a postgraduate in ‘International Relations’). We are a wife-husband team. We now propose diversifying from our present line in to the production of religious videos including (music videos) on little known/unknown facts about Hindu Gods, Customs and philosophy and picturise them in an absorbing story form. Thus, non deviating from our main business, yet deriving satisfaction in spreading Hindu religion through video which is accessible, available, enjoyable and acceptable to people world wide. To begin with, as devotees of Shri Shri Raghavendra Swamy, we wish to picturize his amazing miracles in video and market it all over the world! The presentation will be on the lines of Ramanand Sagars ‘Ramayana’ or B.R. Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’. Each miracle will be of twenty to twenty five minute’s duration. A volume will contain eight to ten such episodes (miracles), beautifully enacted by professional actors. The actual person to whom the miracle happened will also appear and endorse. This lends credibility. We will be releasing at the rate of one volume every three months. .. Let’s outline a few facts before narrating some major miracles: Our Great Swami is some times seen walking about inside our house during the daytime often entering the pooja room! Swamy has affectionately offered fruits in person to our little son. One evening we have seen the idol of Him in our pooja room, eyes shut in deep meditation for about an hour when the actual idol of him has eyes wide open at all times. On the night of the 26th March ’96, Shri Shri Raghavendra Swami’s ‘GINDY’ miraculously materialized in the pooja room of our house. This perhaps is one of the greatest miracles of all times! This ‘GINDY’, which we fill with purified water for its holy distribution to visiting devotees, it would miraculously empty itself (of the water) every Thursday night along with whatever thulasi leaves placed on a brass platter. Several devotees visit our house to pray to Swamy. Every year, with His Grace, we have special celebrations on the 26th march. Marking the appearance of the GINDY. The present Peedathipathi of Mantralayam was gracious to visit this house with MOOLA RAMA during his sojourn at Chennai last year. Last month, the Madathapathi of the Mulabagal Mutt paid a visit. We have the good fortune of visiting Mantralayam at least three times a year! Let us now relate three major Miracles that happened at our house in recent times: 55-year-old Ravi an exporter of saris from India, was childless for 27 years i.e.; since 1970! He visited our house on the 16th April’97 and offered prayers to Swamy for the first time. We conversationally assured him that Swamy would reward him at the right time. As per custom, we offered him Mantrakshaye, Mrithika and a picture of Shri Raghavendra Swamy. On the 21st of April’97, i.e.; six days after his visit, his wife (at the age of 48!) miraculously conceived and delivered a baby girl on the 11th December’97 (fortunately a Thursday)! 21-year-old Jitendra, son of a Chennai based Jeweler, involved in a two-wheeler accident was admitted in the ICU of a hospital, his life slowly ebbing out. The Surgeon declared that Jeetu had just another six to eight hours, as the growing clot in the brain, would turn fatal. The family was unknown to us when we learnt of the accident. Swamy demanded that we visit the boy and place His Mantrakshaye under the boy’s pillow. We did just that. Miraculously, the clot dissolved. Young Jeetu recovered. He is hail and hearty today. This incident took place two years back. 54-year-old Om Prakash Verma, a leading dealer in textiles, lost his 14-year-old son who succumbed to a brain fever. Though Shri Om Prakash has another child, a daughter of marriageable age, he was in deep distress over the loss of his son, pining for the boy’s rebirth back (as his son reborn) but knew that was impossible. Yet, he and his wife together intensely prayed for about six months starting June ’98. Miraculously, the lady conceived on the 12th December ’98, and delivered not just one child, but twins (a boy and a girl) in July’99. The infants have been named Maha Vishnu and Maha Lakshmi. As the lady lay unconscious during the caesarian, she received Swamy’s blessings and taken by HIM to Vaikuntam for a darshan of Lord Maha Vishnu and Goddess Maha Lakshmi, Swamy himself appearing as Bala Prahalad. The lady is still unable to reconcile that she had actually met and conversed with LORD MAHA VISHNU, GODDESS MAHALAKSHMI AND BHAKTI PRAHALAD! Such is the greatness of our Shri Raghavendra Swamy! These are some examples of Swami’s miracles, seen and experienced by us. Devotees are witnessing miracles happening to themselves and to others. We propose to picturise such miracles in a gripping story form and present them as video programmes! We conclude this letter with prayers to Shri Shri Raghavendra Swamy to give you the very best in life and bestow upon you happiness in every form. May his miracles transform the quality of people’s lives to enable them lead a fulfilling and satisfactory life. Sincerely, BALA & ASHOK Proposal on: ‘The Present Day Miracles Of Shri Shri Raghavendra Swamy”. ‘BALA VILLA’ S-28, 5TH AVENUE, 35TH CROSS STREET, BESANT NAGAR • CHENNAI INDIA • 600 090 Phone: 91-044-4918862 • Fax: 91-044-4918862 FEBRUARY 22, 2000 We are all very excited here as our project is taking shape. We have completed the proposal on paper and awaiting Wednesday to mail it to you so that you can read it on Thursday! We had ordered new equipment like a sophisticated Edit Suite and Computer Graphics exclusively dedicated to our project ..They are being installed on Thursday the 24th. Very near our house, there was some digging going on perhaps to lay some pipelines.During the course of the digging, the workmen unearthed a very ancient 'Lord Vinayaka'.Many many hundred years old belonging to some ancient temple which perhaps stood at that place.The pillayar looks very distinguished and stately.Suddenly last Saturday He decided to move in here with our Rayar.Tommorrow, we are formally installing HIM here.Coincidentally, and surprise of surprises,tommorrow happens to be'Sankadahara Chaturthi.' We are conducting a Vinayakar HOMAM,early wednesday morning.Since last saturday, the project is moving really fast after HIS arrival.Rayar has sought Lord Vinayaka to remain by HIS side so that the project takes off without any obstacles! This is the greatness of Our Rayar.He seeks the blessings of all the God's to get things done.He could have constucted HIS Brindavan and entered it any time. But not our Rayar.He was on tapas for twelve years awaiting the permission of Manchala Amman,and only after HE received HER permission to construct HIS Brindavan in HER territory did HE do so! When Bala and myself were at the Kapaleeshwar temple, an unknown (to us ) temple Acharya approached, and requested us for our car's keys which were safely tucked in a pouch in the pocket.Quizzed somewhat, we reluctantly handed it to him.He took it straight to Shiva Perumal's feet and placed it there.Only then, at that moment, did it dawn on us simultaneously that it was Rayar's way of choosing to pay HIS respects and Namaskarams to Shiva peruman.A large Silver pendant of Rayar is attached to the key bunch and it was through that mode that HE chose to pay obeisance to Lord Shiva!.The Acharya had not the slightest inkling of the pendant attached to the bunch keys. Neither did he chance to glance at it in his hands. He seemed to be in a stupor, a world of his own!Rayar had got it into the Acharya's mind to retrieve the keys from us so that HE can have darshan of the lord via the pendant and so it was. It is in little ways such as this, that we can understand HIM. BALA & ASHOK February 24, 2000 Dr. K.GURURAJAN, 1890northBraymoreDrive Barrington,ILLINOIS,60010 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Dear Dr. Gururajan: We trust that this letter finds you in good cheer. We are detailing below the Proposal. Kindly go through it. OBJECTIVE: To create and integrate an international network of devotees of ‘SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY’ enabling each to become an active -interactive member in a global family through Bhakti oriented Video programs in CD. Through these programs we are creating: A forum in which Bhaktas worldwide share rare spiritual experiences in the same way we have been sharing the last few weeks. Inculcating Bhakti amongst people particularly the younger generation; teaching them the finer values and guiding them to a divine life. WHY? Hinduism is withering today. Perhaps two generations down the line, it may be dead. The propagation of Christianity worldwide is on a Herculean scale through T.V. Ironically, many Hindus have been commissioned by Christian missions in the U.S. and Canada to propagate Christianity. One example is a Brahmin hailing from Andhra at Chennai. Resourced by a Christian mission in the US he has been Producing a massive TV serial for the propagation of Christianity. This serial, in all Indian languages, has crossed 200 episodes! Several close friends, both Hindus and Christians are engaged in such work. Hinduism is an ocean. People are confused where to start. Time is wasted in needless debate leaving little done. We have the advantage of having Rayar with us. HENCE, WHEN OTHERS PROPAGATE CHRISTIANITY WITH MISSIONARY ZEAL, WHY NOT WE, WITH GREATER ZEAL RAYAR’S PHILOSOPHY? RAYAR WOULD GRACE SUPPORT FOR SUCH POSITIVE ACTION! THIS IS IN LINE WITH A ZEN SAYING.”THE GURU IS READY WHEN THE PUPIL IS.” With HIM as our powerful guiding force, we can delve in to HIS teachings and other realms of Hindu religion. By HIS own design, Rayar has maintained a low profile during the first three hundred years of HIS Brindavan. In the subsequent three hundred years, HIS works must reach people on a global level. We are fortunate in addressing this issue now in the 328th year of HIS Brindavan. Perhaps it is the most appropriate time to begin His work, which will subsequently be carried on by future generations for the next 372 years! THE PROPOSAL: The proposed video programs will be Produced and Distributed by VAYU CHANNEL, a company exclusively established for this Holistic mission.(This name was suggested by the Great Mahan.He explained thus: VAYU ( AIR/ OXYGEN) IS A NECCESSITY FOR LIFE ! SIMILARLY,THE WORK PROPOSED TO BE PROPAGATED IS A NECCESSITY FOR LEADING A PEACEFUL LIFE ! As a conduit is being established for the propagation of HIS teachings,the word 'channel'has been added.Hence,V-A-Y-U C-H-A-N-N-E-L. VAYU CHANNEL, will produce SEVEN, well researched, authentic religious programs per annum at the rate of one program every two months. The proposed seven programs for the first year i.e. April 2000 to March 2001 are: i. “ SRI POORNA BODHA GURU THEERTHA…” This stothra will be depicted with stunning visuals on Video, sung melodiously. Many devotees, though adept at chanting this stotra are not aware of its meaning! We propose to explain the meaning authentically so that chanting becomes meaningful and enjoyable. ii. THE PRESENT DAY MIRACLES OF SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY ….Volume 1…. This will chronicle some of the Present Day Miracles of Swamy such as the one YOU witnessed after Kaushik and Kartik’s birth. This is a real life incident related fictionally on video. Similarly, we will be dealing with many other miracles. Every year, we propose to bring out as many volumes of Swamy’s miracles. THIS WILL REAFFIRM FAITH. iii. HANUMAN CHALISA… Musically with visual meaning, depicting LORD ANJANEYA’S innumerable forms. Enshrined here, is the proof that Lord Anjaneya lives at MANSAROVAR enjoying the SUPREME status of CHIRANJEEVI. A real life incident of a devotee from GUNTUR who had Lord ANJANEYAR’S darshan at Mansarovar in 1998 will be brought out to international notice. We shall also reveal the live picture of the real Lord Anjaneyar as photographed by that devotee with Lord Anjaneya’s permission! We shall also show with the help of an aerial photograph of the Himalayas that Gods reside there. This can be made out from the letter OM deciphered from the natural formation of the mountains. THIS WILL AGAIN REAFFIRM FAITH. iv. Shri Shri Raghavendra Swamy’s hymns on LORD RAMA… Beautiful visuals and songs melodiously sung to Rayar’s words and description. THIS WILL AROUSE DEVOTEES TO VISIT MANTRALAYAM AND WITNESS THE SRI SRI MOOLA RAMA POOJA. v. The story of LORD Lakshmi Narasimha … As narrated in a musical drama style with powerful and arresting visuals starting from the life of Bhakti Prahalada; turmoil’s he bore in the hands of his tyrannical demon father; HIS unswerving faith in Lord NARAYANA and the Lord’s emergence from the pillar to vanquish the demon! Many are aware of the story of Bhakta Prahalad. In this program they will witness the story in its reality that will be a profound spiritual experience in understanding the true spirit of Bhakti. vi. Madhva Siddhantam… Volume 1... Teachings of Shri Shri Madhvacharya Teertha in a musical -dance -fictional form. vii. One of the 14 works of SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY. THIS WILL PERHAPS BE THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE SWAMY’S TEACHINGS IN A MUSICAL – STORY FORM. Please Note :In case you have any suggestions on the selection of the above program, you may kindly do so now. We can certainly reconsider and incorporate your suggestions by addition and deletion. Each of these seven programs will be of not less than seventy minutes duration. They will be ingeniously conceptualized, lavishly mounted; creatively picturised cogently edited ensuring a stunning audio video output. Hence every program would be masterly crafted as powerful visual stimulants that would rock the soul and surge bhakti from within. The whole family can enjoy them either sitting before the TV or when otherwise engaged in house hold chores. One can also play the C.D.’S during prayer for spiritual exhilaration. Each program will be presented in a video CD that can be preserved infinitely as a legacy for future generations as ‘Timeless Classics.’ These programs will be sent, as mentioned earlier, every two months, to Devotees who become annual rs of VAYU CHANNEL A r also benefits from the automatic membership in “ SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY VICHARA PRACHARA TRUST”. This trust has again been specially established for attaining certain ideals. A percentage of the subscription, will be diverted to the corpus fund of this trust for utilization in renovation of ancient temples; ensuring daily service in these temples; funding new Brindavans; performing remarriage of widows and abandoned women and medical aid to the very poor. With Rayar’s Supreme Grace, we have been engaged in these areas, in our personal individual capacity, for the last three years! Hence we are not new to these areas. We have never solicited donations so long, as Rayar has made all provisions to carry on these activities in tune with our ability. Today it needs a larger participation for total fulfillment. Participation in these ventures, will add to the many good fortunes and punya of the rs/devotees. Additionally, the rs will enjoy certain special privileges such as receiving regular religious News letters, Video clips covering important events at Mantralayam and other Brindavans; video information on other religious functions connected with Rayar, APART FROM THE SEVEN PROGRAMMES mentioned above. Prasadams from temples (presently under our care, with Rayar’s grace) from Archana done on specific days like their (the rs) nakshetra day of the month; will be sent to the devotees along with the CD’s. The annual subscription is a very affordable $250 (two hundred and fifty dollars only) per r. For this subscription a r would derive all the benefits outlined above. To Produce seven of these magnificent programs in their totality every year, mastering them in to CD’s, packaging and forwarding them with unfailing regularity, The production and administering of the news letters and video clips, and funding all the activities of the trust as outlined, the above sum has been conservatively arrived at and we need a minimum 350 members to begin breaking even. We are ready in the following manner: We have just invested several lacs of Rupees in equipment and hardware for Professional Video Editing; Computer Graphics and for C.D. mastering for this purpose. These equipments are being installed this Thursday the 24th Feb. We are planning to invest further in Professional digital camera also. Generally to produce an advertisement film of 30 seconds duration it costs between Rs 10.00 lacs and Rs 15.00! Here we are talking of each program of seventy minutes duration! Hence a minimum of 350 members is required. We already have a full-fledged production team and have initiated scripting and Action Plan for the first program. You may kindly consider suggesting this project to devotees and friends so that we may get the maximum support from as many rs possible. This would be an encouragement to us at this stage. Should you desire that we address copies of this letter to friends through Post or E Mail, kindly furnish us with their respective postal/ E Mail addresses and we shall do the needful. In the meanwhile, we are arranging to print Brochures and Subscription Forms. The message in the brochures will be the same outlined in this letter. Kindly let us have your feed back at your earliest convenience. WE ARE PLACING THIS PROPOSAL AT THE LOTUS FEET OF SHRI SHRI RAGHAVENDRA SWAMY, AND WITH HIS BLESSINGS, IT WILL CERTAINLY TAKE OFF!

Guest Sanjay Baalasubramani V Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Dear Dr. K. Gururajan & Sri. Ashok, Greetings and Good Wishes to you. Om Sri Raghavendraya Namaha! The joy which i have received by seeing and reading your write up in this website, cannot be expressed in words. I am very thankful to both of you. I am a H.R. Manager and my wife Rajeswari is a Psychologist. I started knowing Sri Rayaru since childhood through the film of Shri. Rajnikanth. The gracious way in which GuruRayaru blesses his devotees and humanity in general in magnificient. I have started reading the biography of Sri GuruRayaru "Sri Raghavendra Mahimai" written by Amman Sathyanathan and presently reading the third part. When i read the miracles of Sri GuruRayaru i just forget myself and immerse in the omniscience of him. Sir, i have been married since January 2004 and we are waiting for the lord to bless us with Children. We are at present working in Papua New Guinea since August 2013. It is a contract for 3 years and we could visit our Native place Chennai once in 18 Months, that means we could come there in December 2014 approximately. Sir we seek Sri Ragahvendra Swamy's blessing for getting children. Please guide us sir. Please guide us sir. Kind Regards, Sanjay Baalasubramani V & Rajeswari B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
