Even though we experienced some technical difficulties

for a couple of weeks, the last two upanyasams were loud

and clear. I would like to encourage everyone to sign up

and take advantage of one of the unique opportunities

to learn about our tradition and philosophy. Srimad

Azhagiya Singar's upanyasam on Thirunedundhandagam is

based on the commentary of Sri Periyavachchan Pillai.

One has to listen to believe how Srimad Azhagiya

Singar makes even the hardest aspects of our Sri

Vaishnava philosophy easy to understand with simple

daily-life examples. In the last two weeks many advanced

concepts were covered within the context of the first

pasuram of Thirunedundhandagam. For example, from

the phrase " iRappathaRkE eNNAdhu " , Srimad Azhagiya

Singar explained about " kaivalyam " equating kaivalyam

to the state of death. Another example is the most

subtle understanding of how Sriman Narayana ensouls

everything in the universe. What is the difference

between inanimate material prior to and after the

creation of the material universe, how does Sriman

Narayana pervade these materials and what is the state

of jivas within these materials? Even though the subject

matter is highly technical, Srimad Azhagiya Singar explained

these concepts in a way everyone can easily understand.

 

The next upanyasam set for July 6th. After that Srimad

Azhagiya Singar will be on sancharam for about 4 weeks

and we are unlikely to have any upanyasam during this

period. After that, Srimad Azhagiya Singar will be

camping in Mumbai for Chaturmasyam. Therefore, starting

from end of July, we are likely to have upanyasam every week.
