1.THE DIVINE MESSAGE - MESSAGE FROM POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA - THE ULTIMATE LIBERATOR BESTOWED BY LORD SHRI KRISHNA!


Radhekrishna!

Aashirwadhams!!

Do continous namajapam!!!

Do bhagawath dhyanam sincerely!!!

In Chennai, the Saturday bhajans are going on, in a very good manner. Bhagawan Sri Krishna is accepting all the namajapams done by sathsang shisyas.

Dhaarana varsha (Tamil new year) must be good for all the shisyas. A new year returns before we realise, but what is the difference in our minds?

We wake up early in the morning, take a nice bath, wish everyone a happy new year and eat varieties of food. Is this enough?

This is done every year.All these rituals are for the body and the mind. But, for the athma (i.e. soul), what is the need? The athma needs Bhagawan Sri Krishna.

The athma wants coalition with Sri Krishna in all manner. Those who are doing namajapam and bhagawath dhyanam, they are having the right to mingle with Lord Krishna with this body itself in the present human life.

Bhagawan Sri Krishna is waiting eagerly for the prema bhaktas to celebrate raasakreeda on this earth. For premai (true love) there are no restrictions. Bhagawan just wants the true heart. So, in this Dhaarana year, become a good prema baktha and enjoy Lord Krishna as you wish!!

This is the right time and perfect age to enjoy Lord Krishna……Radhekrishna…………

2.MAHATMAS - NEW BHAKTACHARITRAS EACH MONTH



Udaiyavar Swami Ramanujar - The Great Vaishnava Acharya

Swami Ramanujar

Our Bharatha bhoomi is a karma bhoomi.This is the only place in the world where you can feel God's sanctity.In this spiritual land in April, 1017 A.D. Swami Ramanujar was born. He is Lord Aadhishesha's avatar. In first janmaa (birth) he was Lakshmana (brother of Lord Shree Rama) in Treta Yuga.Then in his next janmaa he was Balarama (brother of Lord Shree Krishna) in Dwapara Yuga. In his third janmaa in this Kaliyuga he was reborn as Swami Ramanuja in the village of Sriperumbudur (Tamil Nadu, India) in the Pingala year, Chiththirai month, Thiruvadirai,Shukla paksham, Panjami Thithi

Swami Ramanujar was a great spiritual master(Sathacharyan) and at the same time was also a great spiritual student (Sathshishya). Its very tough to be a Sathacharyan and a Sathshishyan at the same time.

Once Ramanujar went to Thirukottiyur (Tamil Nadu,India) to get the rahasya mantra (a secret powerful mantra that would bestow salvation on hearing) from Thirukottiyur Nambi, a very tough SathAcharyan - spiritual master.When Swami Ramanujar had gone to Thirukottiyur the Acharya, Thirkottiyur Nambi didn't even care for him.Swami Ramanujar told that he had come to get the rahasya.But Acharya Nambi neglected him and remarked "what is to be said to whom?"

Acharya Nambi didnt even look at Swami Ramanujar.It was a passing remark.Had Acharya Nambi stopped and talked to Ramanujar, it means he would have given atleast some importance to Swami Ramanujar. But that was not the case.He didnt give even a bit of importance to Swami Ramanujar.

Swami Ramanujar was greatly disappointed. But he had great interest to learn the rahasya mantra. So he came back to Srirangam and once again he started on his journey to Thirukottiyur to get the rahasya. But it was of no avail. This cycle continued for 17 times. See! the confidence and interest Swami Ramanujar had in the rahasya mantra.Really it melts the hearts.

Still Swami Ramanujar didn't lose hope. For the 18th time he went to see Thirukottiyur Nambi. Acharya Nambi gave the coveted rahasya mantra on observing the Bhakti (devotion),perseverence and humbleness of Swami Ramanujar.Finally Acharya Nambi accepted Swami Ramanujar as his shishya.

Why did Acharya Nambi make Swami Ramanujar visit him 18 times and why was Ramanujar accepted on his 18th trip?

Till the 17th time Swami Ramanujar used to say,"I, Ramanuja have come". As Acharya Nambi was a Sathguru, he destroyed the 'I'ness in Swami Ramanujar. When he came for the 18th time Swami Ramanujar said "Your humble servant has come" (this is a true identity of a Sathshishya) Immediately the Sathguru gave the mantra and happiness to Swami Ramanujar.

Thus as a Sathshisha Swami Ramanujar performed gurudhyanam and all his duties perfectly and all his actions were bound by his guru's words.Truly Swami Ramanujar is the role model.After receiving the rahasya mantra, Acharya Nambi told Ramanujar that the Mantra was a powerful one and he was not supposed to disclose the mantra to anybody, but only to worthy disciples previously tried.

Swami Ramanujar left and he reached a temple, in Thirukottiyur, where there was a big procession passing by.Swami Ramanujar saw the huge crowd present there. Swami Ramanujar immediately climbed on the gopuram (dome) of the temple and asked all the people to assemble before the temple, irrespective of their caste and creed. As soon as the crowd gathered Swami Ramanujar chanted the rahasya mantra in public. He told the crowd that this mantra would give them "moksha" (liberation/salvation)

Some brahmins went to Acharya Nambi and complained to him about Swami Ramanujar's act.Acharya Nambi immediately summoned Swami Ramanujar and questioned him why he had done such a thing. Swami Ramanujar humbly replied" I will gladly go to hell for my act and bear the consequences, if all the people who heard the mantra will attain salvation (moksha)" This was Swami Ramanujar's true identity as a Sathguru.

On 25th of this April 2004, is Swami Ramanujar's thirunakshatram (star birthday).So bhaktas, get inspired!! Be dedicated to H.H.Poojyashree Shree Amma, as Swami Ramanujar was to Acharya Nambi!

4.THE DIVINE SONGS - DHIVYAPRABHANDHAM

Naalaayira Dhivyaprabandham

The words of bhaktas are so impressive when compared with the words of bhagawan.The words of bhaktas gives us such courage and confident mentally towards bhakti because they are in the form of human beings. When somebody like us in the human form their way of living and mental attitude towards higher things will guide us easily.The bhaktas are in the human body with a high spiritual mentality. The words of bhaktas gives us salvation (moksha) easily. Bhagavan himself accept the words of bhaktas as it is.

The Ramayana of Sri Valmiki

The Srimadh Bagavatham of Sri Vedavyasar

The abangs of Namadev

The keerthanas of Purandaradasar

The bhajans of Meerabai are some of the examples of great bhaktas words.

In Tamil language there is a bunch of divine songs sung by 13 composers at different periods. It is the beauty of our Naalaayira (i.e. 4000 in Tamil) Dhivyapprabandham. Among the 13 composers, the only one female composer is Andal(Nachchiyar).

5.SPRING OF SPIRITUAL SHOWERS - EXPERIENCES OF BHAKTAS, DISCIPLES OF POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA, OUR GURUJIAMMA

An experience of a Shishyai (disciple) from Mumbai, in her own words.

RadheKrishna

Jai Shree Poojyashree Shree Amma


With the blessings of 'SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA', I have got many divine experiences in this spiritual life! Among those divine experiences the one which has touched my heart is this……

I was very much worried about my son’s future because he had got into bad company and bad habits. Though he had the capacity, he was least interested in studies; because of which he failed in his final year degree exams, i.e.(T.Y.B.Com).He gave two attempts still he couldn't clear it! But then too he didn't feel guilty about it and there was no change in his character!

He started stealing money for his unwanted expenses. Everybody in our family advised him but he turned deaf ears and lived the way as he wanted. I had unconditional faith in astrology. So I used to take his horoscope whereever I found an astrologer. Everybody repeated the same thing that he would go in a wrong path. I had gone to many temples, performed many poojas, homams, etc.I was so concerned about his life that I was running behind everyone for opinions.In our family all were worried about his future including his father but nobody knew the right way to get him to the right path.

Any mother would have dreams that her children should have a bright future and they should get settled in their life at the proper age.But all my dreams, my poojas, astrologer’s predictions everything were in vain. I lost all my hopes and faith and felt that there was nobody who could lift my son up and put an end to all our sufferings.

At that time, one divine hand lifted us by putting a full stop to all our fears and worries, H.H.SHRI POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA. By Guruji Amma's grace, I took NAMADIKSHA and started chanting Lord Krishna's name. After that I realized Amma's grace and power of Namasankeertana. Gradually, I could see changes in my son’s habits. Guruji Amma made him realize the importance of life and time.

Soon after that my son got a call from his friend saying that there are some vacancies in one of the leading private Bank in India and he applied for that.Just because of Guruji Amma's grace and the Namasankeertana, he got a job.Fate was against him, the navagrahas (planetory positions) didn't support him, the family members could not do anything, but the Ultimate Liberator Shri Poojyashree Shree Amma changed his deserted life into orchard one.He got settled at the age of 24. Doesn't it sound miraculous? Not only this, he has become very responsible and has improved characterwise. He himself is now a disciple of Shri Poojyashree Shree Amma!

As a mother, I experienced that my son had suffered a lot and now he had come out from the darkness to the light by the blessings of Shri Poojyashree Shree Amma. Like me there might be many mothers suffering because of their wards. Many of them might have even lost their son or might have attempted suicide! as I myself was one amongst them. But, now I am happy and contented. Only because of Gurujji Amma's Grace, I am leading a very happy and satisfied life.


Poojyashree Shree Ammavin thiruvadigale saranam saranam saranam

There is only one Mahatma, who can give us an eternal relief from all our sufferings. So, get yourself relieved from all sufferings by surrendering yourself to the Lotus feet of HER HOLINESS SHREE POOJYASHREE SHREE AMMA!!!!!!

An evergrateful disciple (shishyai) from Mumbai.

Jai Shri RadheKrishna

6. SAMARPANAM


parithraanaaya sadhoonaam vinasaya cha dhushkrutham

dharma sansthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge

Bhagawan takes avatar in each and every yuga mainly to safeguard the bhaktas and then to destroy the rakshasaas who trouble his bhaktas.So Bhagawan came to this bhoomi from paramapadham just for the sake of his bhaktas. Hence we come to know that bhaktas are very very important to the Lord. Whenever Bhagawan comes to rescue his bhaktas the other fellow people also reap the benefits.........

Our guruji amma gives high respect to all the bhaktas.Hence our Vedhanadha's every issue will be dedicated to one bhakta.This issue we are dedicating to 'Srimathi Radharani'(the greatest lover of Krishna).


Radharani with Lord Sri Krishna

The daughter of Vrishabanudevar & Keerthirani.

The evergreen rani (queen) from Barsana.

The love form of Sri Krishna.

The everlasting queen of Goloka Brindhavanam.

The sacrificer for all gopis.

Even now if we visit Brindavan, everyone there will say "Radhe......Radhe".

The heroine of Raasakreeda and asthapathy of Sri Jayadeva.

The role model for Andal (i.e Nacchiyar) and Meera.



Jay Shree Radhe Radhe
