Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Jai Srimannarayana AcharyaBandhus! The teertha goshti on 3rd morning at Jet Domalaguda at which Ahobila Jeeyar Swami was also present in the goshti and on HH's suggestion to bless the devotees --- HH talked about Ramanujacharya Swami and the need of acharya in one's life and how blessed we are to be under the umbrella of Swamiji's guidance and grace. He quoted saying- A lotus blooms when the sun's rays fall on it. The sun rise enables it to open. A lotus lies in the water. The blossomed lotus is charming and beautiful. If it thinks that the sun's rays are facilitating it to open up and comes out of the water what happens? We all know the same sun's rays dry it up and everyone ignores it. So the lotus blooms when it is in the WATER and there are SUNRAYS. Like wise, we need the help of acharya kataksham (blessings) like the water to the lotus. Then only our hearts open up and will be eligible to be offered to Lord. Bhagavan's grace is like the sun. We can't bear it directly if we are not under the shade of Acharya Sambandham, as we are laden with rotten thinking and actions. Acharya's grace acts as the recommender and help us reach the destination. So let us make people understand this fact who feel that they don't need 'any one' to guide them on the path to reach the Lord. Jaisrimannarayana! Ramanujamma rd.
