Guest guest Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Dear Members, Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji Thyagaraja Swami of Thiruvaiyaru was a great Rama Bhakta and has composed several kirtans on Lord Rama. In one of his kirtans, he sings, “Graha balam emi Rama! Nee anugraha balame balam!” - He says “ Rama! What can these planets do to me when I have your blessings?” (what power do these planets possess, Rama? It is only your ‘anugraha’ (Blessings) that are truly powerful) Likewise in ‘Kollaru Pathigam’, the Nãyanmãrs have sung, “Avai nalla nalla adiyargalukku miga nallave!” - the ‘Navagrahas’ do not harm Siva bhaktas. Sri Arunagirinatha, a great Muruga bhakta sings, “Nãll en seiyyum? Vinai dhan en seiyyum? Ennai nadi vandha koll en seiyyum?” - What can any (inauspicious) day or fate do to me? Similarly, Abhirami Bhattar has sung, “ Konadha Kollum” . He prays to Abhirami Devi to safeguard her devotees from the effects of the planets. How can the ‘Navagrahas’ affect us if we are devoted to God? If we have bhakti and lead our lives in dharmic way, the ‘Navagrahas’ cannot harm us in any way.
