Arrival of the pious.

[Guest guest]

Haraye Namah."Tell

me your friends, I will tell who you are", goes an English adage

rightly pointing at the impact of the company we keep. Let alone the

company we keep, even a short spell of accompaniment makes an impact.When

we meet a colleague, we spend talking hours on the office work and / or

its environment, colleagues etc. When we meet a friend, hours are lost

in talking about common friends, recollecting past moments and so on.

We chance to sit with acquaintances and near-strangers and spend quite

a lot of time discussing Cricket, Politics - local, national and

international or even the TV serials and ads. Still worse if we chance

to land ourselves up in the company of wrong people - we spend either

tempted to join them in drinks, gamble etc or assessing the extent to

which each of those has gone bad and worse.Precious time is just lost unawares.Just

imagine what happens when we meet a real yogi instead. Every minute of

his accompaniment purifies us, lifts us up in the ladder of

spirituality. Bhaagavatam says "There is no wonder that the company of nishkinchanaa

(the yogis who do not care the worldly aspects even for their minimal

sustenance) can take us to the feet of God, for even a few minutes

spent with them clears our rusted logic and an improper understanding

of God and Divinity". It further says that this life is a waste if we

do not meet and stay in the company of mahat, great personalities.Interested if you are, to spend a few minutes every day with the avadhoota Shiromani Vishnuteertharu, take your own time of the day and pay a visit to

http://simhageeta.wikidot.com/forum:start.

We are not fortunate enough to meet such great personalities in person

but they are available to us in the form of their books. Simhageeta

trust has been carryng the slokas of Bhaagavata Saaroddhaara with small

incremental postings to help us spend a few minutes of every day at the

time of our convenience. The mahat samaagama prakaranam has just concluded and the new section mahat seva prasamshaa prakaranam is ready to commence. Come let us add a few minutes everyday to our daily quota reserved for spirituality.Thanks and regardsRavindranath Kadlabaal
