nanmai yaalmikka naanmaRai yaaLar_kaL,
punmai yaakak karuthuva raathalin,
annai yaayaththa Nnaayennai yaaNdidum
thanmai yaan,sada kOpanen nampiyE. 

(Kanninun Siru Thaambhu 4)

Meaning "When I had been ignored as worthless by the great scholars renowned for their
knowledge of the Vedas and conduct - it was Satakopa who gave me refuge and
offered affectionate parental care as father and mother. Indeed, he is my
master"

It is an established fact that a Sathguru brings tremendous changes in our lives. Even in the above verse Madhurakavi Alwar explains that His Sathguru has given him the love and care which others refrain from giving and thus acknowledges him as his Master.  The disciples always want to do something for Sathguru in return for the grace showered by him. However any thing done will not equal Sathguru’s Krupa. The extent to which a disciple is willing to do something for a Sathguru proves his degree of sincerity towards his Sathguru.



 

In an incident a Sathguru with his sishyaas and sishyais were crossing a river to go to the other side of the bank. It was a smooth sail until suddenly a storm raised in the river. The boat started losing its balance. The person rowing the boat instructed that at least one person should jump off the boat so that everyone else would be saved. The force of the water was of such a high magnitude that even a person knowing swimming who jumps off cannot swim his way to the bank.

The disciples were worried that their Sathguru’s life was at stake but no one was ready to sacrifice his life to saves Sathguru’s life. This is the moment where a self centered thought engulfs and we are not ready to break it even for the sake of Sathguru. But a sisyai (female disciple) proved exception to this. She prayed to her Sathguru and jumped into the gushing water to save the life of her Sathguru. She didn’t know swimming. His is referred to a Guru Bkahti: - ever ready to do anything for the welfare of Sathguru without caring about oneself.

Once she was into the water she didn’t even battle to save herself but meditated on her Sathguru. In the flowing water the sisyai got hold of a ladder with help of which she was able to reach the bank. Others were surprised to see her safe on the bank. The sisyai first came to the Sathguru and took his blessings. The Sathguru was the happiest person to see his sisyai back. Actually it was Sathguru’s grace which saved the sisyai. When the sisyai jumped into the river Sathguru was praying hard and his prayers yielded fruits inform of the sisyai finding the ladder and gave the sisyai the strength to overcome the forceful waters and reach the bank safely.

This incidence proves the Bhakti of the sisyai which she had towards her Guru and the grace of Sathguru to save his disciples in any situation.

Short stories to regain your faith
   

Thirikoolur Pennpillai tries to convince Swami Ramanuajr that she is not fit to live in Thirikoolur. The second sentence she says in this context is “Aaham Othithu Vitheno Vithurarai polle” (Did I destroy self pride like Vithura)

The self pride should be completely lost. The consciousness of I, me, myself should be submerged. Sleep is relaxing only because we loose our self conscious. Even a little alert makes the sleep disturbing and unpleasant.  Self pride rises from the factor that ‘I belong to such community, I have studied so much, I have a good personality, I have good intelligence, I have a rich family culture etc’ These factors will be dissolved once our minds and heats are inclined to Shri Krishna

 

Vithura was son of Ved Vysa. Vithura had abundant affection towards Bagawaan Shri Krishna. Vithura was minister of Hastinapur Kingdom ruled by Duryodhan. In spite of holding a commanding position he was down to earth and humble person. Vithura used to live in a simple house. Vithura’s life was peaceful one and without any confusion. Vithura dedicated everything gain or loss, joy or sorrow to Shri Krishna. At work Vithura was well competent. Vithura used to always warn Duryodhan when he took a wrong step. He used to manage the kingdom efficiently. However Vithura did not feel any pride for the same. One day Shri Krishna came to Duryodhan’s place acting as a messenger to Pandavas. Hearing this Vithura felt sad that Shri Krishna was coming to talk with such a person who doesn’t care for him and doesn’t know the greatness of Shri Krishna.

Duryodhan had arranged a feast for Krishna but, He Krishna did not have food at Duryodhan’s place. Because it is a rule that food should not be consumed at enemy’s place. No sooner did Bagawaan Shri Krishna who leave Duryodhan’s place than He went to Vithura’s hut. Seeing the Supreme Lord standing at his door, Vithura was surprised. Bagwaan Shri Krishna entered Vithura’s place and said, “I am feeling hungry give me something to eat.”  Shri Krishna who had rejected to eat the feast at Duryodhan’s place came here to satisfy His hunger at a poor man’s Hut. This proves the devotion of Vithura and his modesty.

Vithura was very restless and didn’t know how to offer Puja to Bagwaan who has come home. And accordingly told Shri Krishna that, “I am feeling very anxious so I am giving this anxiety as offering.” Bagwaan Shri Krishna ate the porridge and spinach given by Vithura and rested in his house for a while. When Vithura served food to Shri Krishna he was not carried away by the fact that Bagwaan came to eat at His place but thanked Shri Krishna that He gave an opportunity to serve Him.

Vithura expressed that he was very happy that Shri Krishna had come to his house. Vithura adviced Shri Krishna that he should not talk terms with Duryodhan and waste His time and energy. Even while giving advice to Shri Krishna Vithura was humble. Shri Krishna was moved by good heat of Vithura and hugged him and acknowledged his advice.Thirikoolur Pennpillai indicating these examples said did she loose self pride like Vithura so she doesn’t deserve to stay at this place. Next Month: - another devotee and another justification by Thirikoolur Pennpillai

The power of divine grace

My crores and crores of Radhekrishna and  humble pranams to our Gurujiamma and Guruji. Guruji in our life is only a great experience. Very fortunate to have Gurujiamma and Guruji in my life. There is a tremendous change in life. Sathguru is a ladder to ultimate happiness that is lord Shri Krishna. We have no worries of our life. There are many experiences in my life, one of them I wish to share.

The next day morning I had to attend a class test at 7:00am in the morning. Hence I had decided to get up at 4:00am in the morning to just go through the portions. As usual I had kept alarm in cell and for time being I switched off the cell so as to not to waste the charge. I prayed Gurujiamma to wake me up early in the morning. I forgot to switch on the cell and went to sleep. Next day morning I heard a sweet voice saying “neram ayiduthu, yeyunduru”. [ Its time, get up]. That time I remembered I forgot to on the cell yesterday night. I thought it must be late now. And when I saw the clock it was exactly sharp 4:00am in the morning. I was shocked. This never happened to me. Then I remembered I heard some one’s voice calling me.

Then I understood it was none another than our Gurujiamma’s voice. She only woke me up from the dark to light.

Gurujiamma and Guruji wakes all of us from this material world and shows a flowerful path to Moksha.

I pray our Gurujiamma and Guruji to bless all of us to come out of unwanted thoughts  and to be always their children.
