Hymns in Praise of Guru

kaNdu koNdennaik kaarimaa Rappiraan,
paNdai valvinai paaRRi yaruLinaan,
eNdi saiyu maRiya iyampukEn,
oNda mizhchchada kOpa NnaruLaiyE. 

(Kanninun Siru Thaambhu7)

Meaning: " The illustrious and merciful son of Porkaariyaar, Nammalwar has extinguished
by his graceful glance all my sins committed by me from beginningless time. I
will. Therefore, gratefully publicize his mercy to all those who live in all the
eight directions"

In the above verse Madhurakavi Alwar says his guru has extinguished all his sins, like wise every Guru makes sure that his disciples are not let alone. This is evident from the below illustrated example also.

Often we feel neglected. We think that no one cares about us. At those lonely times we curse God for putting us in such a situation, without knowing that at all times He is with us. Even Sathguru resembles God. He is with us always. But no special gesture is required from His side to prove that He cares about us. A Satsishya has unconditional faith and believes in His Guru irrespective of Guru’s approach towards Him.  

Swami Ramanujar is one of the prominent Sathguru of Hindu Dhrama. Swami Ramanujar had a Madham (a place from where holy activities are carried out). There were many disciples who resided in Madham. Each of the disciples was assigned a specific duty. During the course of performing the duty the sisyaas used to interact with Swami Ramanujar. Many disciples developed a close proximity to Swami Ramanujar. There was Vaishanav in the Madham who was deaf and dumb. He used to carry the daily Chores in the Madham and was helping in cooking and housekeeping. 

He never got to interact with Swami Ramanujar. Even Swami Ramanujar didn’t spoke to him. But the dumb vaishanav was not disturbed by this fact. He used to listen to the pravachans (discourses) and performed his duties sincerely. For a normal person he would consider it to be partiality. But the dumb vaishanav had no complaints his only desire was to serve Swami Ramanujar.

One day when the Madham was relatively less crowded Swami Ramanujar called the dumb vaishanav inside a room and addressed to close the door. The dumb vaishanav was very nervous and excited too. He didn’t understand why Swami Ramanujar was doing so.

All these were seen by Kuruathalwaar (disciple of Swami Ramanujar). Even Kuruathalwaar was surprised and not been able to contain his curiosity saw through the keyhole what was happening inside. The dumb vaishanav sat at the feet of Swami Ramanujar. Swami Ramanujar in a full compassionate manner said, “I am your support. I will be your everything. You need not go anywhere. I will take care of your needs.”

Hearing these words the dumb vaishanav’s joy knew no bound. He felt that his purpose of life is now justified. Hearing this conversation Kuruathalwaar was amazed because never Swami Ramanujar could express in such His greatness in such a straight forward manner in clear words but for the dumb vaishanav He did it.  When Swami Ramanujar came out of the room, Kuruathalwaar first begged pardon for hearing the conversation between Him and the dumb vaishanav and said that, “If I would have been dumb you could have revealed the secret to me like this. I am one of those unfortunates who is being made to learn the Vedas and puranas when the gist of all those scriptures is in front of me.”

Short stories to regain your faith

Thirikoolur Pennpillai tries to convince Swami Ramanuajr that she is not fit to live in Thirikoolur. Last two months we have seen that Thirikoolur Pennpillai citing the example of Accrurar and Vithura explains the reason for not staying in Thirikoolur.  The third sentence she says in this context is “Dehatai Vittone Rishi pathni polle” (Did I sacrifice my body like wife of Rishi)

Brindavan is a place liked most by Bagawaan Krishna. This is because Brindavan's only motive was to give happiness to Bagawaan Krishna. She had no choice of her own. She very well knew the likes and dislikes of Bagawaan Krishna and altered her accordingly to provide pleasure to Bagawaan Krishna. Bagwaan Krishna was the king of the Brindavan and everything used to happen in as per His wish. Till today Mahatamas respect Brindavan and salute only because of the reason that Bagwaan Krishna adored it

Yagna was being carried at Brindavan by Rishis. Brindavan is not a place to carry yagna as it is Prema Bhoomi. This place is Krishna 's own room so there is no need to be formal. Bagawaan Krishna would expect us to enjoy Him and His mercy instead of performing the rites and rituals in Brindavan. Rishis's wives were very happy that they were at Brindavan and they can see Krishna . But the constraint was how they could go to meet Krishna as the Yagna was going on and the Rishis would not allow them to leave the Yagna and meet Krishna . However wives of Rishis were very desirous of seeing the black beauty, the fat cute boy, with lotus like lips, feet and palm. They had boundless desire to play with Bagawaan and wanted to enjoy Him like the Gopis did. They did not have self pride of being from a higher cast but looked upon the Gopis who were so humble and wished that they should also be blessed by Bagwaan Krishna. 

Wife of Rishis were frightened that Krishna would not accept them. But Krishna 's Love is impartial. His care is unbound. Nothing can be compared to His love, our duty is only to accept His love and enjoy. That day Bagwaan Krishna along with Balram and Gopars had come to the forest in Brindavan. Even after having the lunch brought from home the Gopar's hunger were not satisfied. They told Bagwaan that they were hungry. This the confidence Gopars had on Bagwaan Krishna. They knew that any problem told to Krishna will be solved. Bagwaan Krishna accordingly told those Gopars that to go in the particular direction where they will get Yummy Brahma food. Without asking any further questions the Gopars went in the direction as said by Krishna .

After walking quite a distance they reached the place where the Rishis were performing the Yagna. But disappointedly the Gopars returned and told Krishna the Rishi did not entertain them and they will now eat the fruits and satisfy their hunger. Bagwaan Krishna consoled they saying that they need not worry still they would get the yummy food. All they had to do was to go and ask the Rishis' wives that Krishna and Balram are hungry and they had asked for the food. 

The Gopars accordingly went from the backside of Yagna and passed on the mesage to Rishis' wives Hearing that the Rishis' wives were filled with joy they started packing all the food items made and with all enthusiasm to see Krishna they left. They faced resistance from the family members that they should not leave the Yagna in between and go to see Krishna . But the love for Krishna makes cross all the boundaries so all Rishis' wives left except one whose husband was restricting to a great extent. This  Rishi's wife scarified the her body  justifying that the body which is not useful to enjoy Bagwaan Krishna is not useful else also. This the epitome of  Bhakti. 

Quoting this example Thirikoolur Pennpillai says has she scarified the body like the Rishi's wife sfor her to be eligible to stay at Thirikoolur.

The power of divine grace

My Pranams to Guruji Amma and Guruji. Guruji’s.  Hearing Guruji’s Sathsang has given a new dimension to my life. They have showered enormous grace on me for which I would be always thankful. I am an engineering student presently in the 3rd year of engineering. We have 2 semesters in each year. Everything was very new and it was very difficult to adapt to the engineering pattern. The syllabus has to be studied within 3 months and an exam hyas to be given. It was my 1st semester examination. The first paper was Mathematics. Before starting the paper, I did Gurudhyanam and Namajapam.I looked at the paper and to my shock I could not solve a single question. I really became tensed and started chanting more and more.

At the end of 3 hours, I managed to attempt for only 50 marks (passing marks was 40).I was really sure that i could not clear this paper. The next day i came to know that the paper had major errors of around 40 marks and every student will get grace marks of 14.KRISHNA!! I was still not sure of clearing the paper. I did Namajapam and remembered Guruji’s words” Whaterever happens will happen for good.” On the result day, to my surprise I got 45 marks in Maths paper. It was all due to Krishna Krupa.

In the second semester I scored very less marks and was upset. Then Guruji’s words flashed, “Ellam Krishna Leelai daan”(everything is Krishna ’s play) and I consoled myself. In the third semester to everyone’s surprise I was the third topper in IT department. I thanked Bagwaan Krishna for showering so much of grace on me. Now I am waiting for my fourth semester result and I sure that Guruji’s blessing will yield fruitful results.
