Shrihi

Namaskaram.

As you all know i have been recording the swamis short Upanyasa for Pearls of Wisdom and also Video recording the Swamis Chathurmasya Upanyasam which he is delivering at Srimath Andavan Ashram on Sunday. On 30th August he wil deliver last Upanyasam of series . I had not met Swamy at ashram since three weeks as he was busy in some writing work and he was also feeling tired, I did not trouble him, so next week onwards I will start the Pearls of Wisdom work, Lot of people have sent lot of questions, I will get the reply from Swamy and it will come as "Pearls of Wisdom"

I had not gone to Ashram since three week ( I have been meeting at Upanyasam venue every Sunday).Then on 12th instant I had some work near Ashram, around 12 Noon I landed in Ashram and went inside then Somebody told to take the Prasadam , they handed over the Vazai ellai ,but Swamy to told them to give theertham first and then Prasadam, Then Swamy asked my welfare, I waited for all to go then I Prostrated to him My specks which i kept in pocket fell twice , Swamy observed this. Then I told him i am going to Guudulpet , Hedatrhale and other places on Bike Pilgrimages ith Geetha ( My wife), Then he took some Manthra Akshathai and prayed in Yogic Dhyana , and blessed me. Then he told he is tired and this week he may not be able to do the Upanyasam in Andavan Ashram ( I was also thinking what to do , because i had to visit lot of places and the rush back to Bangalore by 3 Pm directly to Andavan Ashram, I think Swamy was aware of this , ) My main intention

of visiting Hedathale

and Sosale is, Hedathale I want to capture the Sri Ranga Maha Gurus birthplace and house use it for forth coming article on Hedathale Temples and glories in Pearls of Wisdom Article and in Sosale I wanted to capture the Moola Moorthy ( H H Mysore Andavans Birth place and Sundar Kidambi Anna's native) I want to print and laminate and present the photograph to H H Srmath Andavan during the celebration ( But I could not do so because of pressing Office meetings today ) . Incidentally H H Andavan Swamiji wants to see me in connection with Building a Mani Mantapam for Ellu Tha Tha H H Katandethi Andavan at Katandethi.

Then I took leave of Swami at that time he called Dr.C R Ramaswamy Mama and asked him to get his ( Swamis) Specks , Then DR mama gave the specks with box and swami immediately took the the Specks out and gave the box to me and told me to keep my specks in the box, I told Swamy had the box in the house, swamy wil not leave me, then finally i convinced Swamy . I really fortunate to have such a loving and caring acharya , credit goes to my Sadagopan Mama ,for guiding me to proper acharyan. My Acharyan is really a Karuna moorthy, tears started rolling , i am very very fortunate to have such a loving and caring Acharyan.

Then I showed the first chapter of his Kannada Book BELAKU , he has given me the Anugraham to convert the same in English for the reach of larger audience ,my wife Geetha is reading in Kannada, I am translating it in English, My sister Jayashree of USA is fine tuning it, It will be published in Book form ( Not e-book). He told the translation is nice and told that I should complete it and then give to him for Proof reading then i can get it printed,

Then I took leave and told swami I would like to visit the Sri Ranga Gurus Birth Place and House also , he told ok ( I did not tell him that i am going to take Pic of the house etc, but I am sure my Koornamoorthy would have known it in his Yogic trans)

Then on 15 August i left along with Geetha on bike I started very late as it was continuously raining. Then in Evening we reached Nanjangud and reached a place known as Immavu, it is also very old temple dedicated to Lord Shriram, Lakshmana and Sita Pirati. Here the specialty is Lord Rama is in chaturbhuja and also his younger brother Lakshmana is also giving us darshan with Chaturbhuja. The temple is under care of Non Brahmins and it was in bad shape I have taken the picture and Idols were without Vastharam ( as policy in pbase we cannot host Perumal Pictures without Vastharam) I will try to host in Picasa etc and let you know . I just want to showcase the beauty of the moorthies nothing else. The Main temple Pic i have taken the link is as under:

Then we reached Hedathale , Sri NArayan Mama ( Archakar ) greeted us and then I went and took few snaps of Thirumaligai of Sriranga Maha Guru ( Asmath Acharyans Acharyan ) from outside. Then we went inside and had the darshan of Thirumaligai, but did not take any picture as mark of respect. Then had darshan of Srikantha Perumal , Lakshminarasimhan Perumal and Venugopala and other Devatha ,Acharyan and Alwars etc. I had a divine experience at Sannidhi of Lakshminarasimha Swamy ( Asmath Acharyan had told about the Power of the lord, please await an article about the same in pearls of wisdom shortly) I will ask about it to Acharyan , not only me even Geetha had the experience, i am sure it is the grace our Acharyan . Please enjoy the pictures of Hedathale Perumals. (It is my 4th visit to the place)

We stayed in Mysore overnight and next day morning we went to Sosale. Sosale is very dear tome on two counts One , it was native of Sosale known as SOSLE JODITHAR (TWINS) who played a very important role in installing my Great Grandfather H H Katandethi Andavan ( Formerly known as Thirukudanthai Andavan) , source is there in the life history book of my ellu that tha and also Andavan Ashram history book published in 60's. Then secondly it is the Birth Place of H H Mysore Andavan and Our Sundar Kidambi Anna's (www.prapatti. com) native Place (Sosale) . God willing i will be able present you independent website for Sosale temple shortly.

Then from there we went to Srirangarajapuram Sri Venugoplan Temple. The pictures are in the link http://www.pbase. com/svami/ sosle

Then we went to Bannur Kothandaraman temple and Ittuvalli ( Sri Ranga Samudhra) Venugopala temple, both the place temple were closed. We reached our base bangalore at 6 Pm o 16th instant. This time due to bad weather and rain we could visit very less temples, I sure with GOD's grace I will have a four wheeler of my own and continue to do the Sevai.

On Sunday 30th August evening after the Swamys Upanyasam i am planning to to give Bhagavathas the post card size print out of all three perumals of Hedathale ( I have got 100 phots printed) . I also invite you to Srimath Andavan Ashram , Jayanagar to join me in the celebration of my Ellu Tha-Tha H H Srimath Katandethi Andavan Thirunakshatram on 30th August 2009 at 10 Am.

Sorry I have taken lot of your time ,
