Aayina Ellaam The
Supreme Lord who is always adorned in Pithamabaram has now come to
me in the form of Sathacharayar . Not only has He approached
to make me realize the Parabrahmam but He has also entered my Mind
& cleansed me from all my sins. He has blessed me with complete
protection by placing His Lotus Feet on my head .
So I am in an elevated state complete with Supreme Bliss. Lord
Krishna's only wish is to see His children happy. Krishna comes down to
the level of samsaris (worldly people) to enable His devotees enjoy the
supreme bliss. He can come in any form, any time. If people have the real
thirst and faith they are able to recognize this form and experience the
happiness. In
Kaliyuga Krishna won�t appear in His own form in front of the sinners.
Even if He appears, worldly people will ask for proof of His identity.
Hence He takes a human form and interacts with worldly people in a normal
way. Those fortunate ones who are able to perceive His true identity enjoy
the supreme bliss. Unfortunate ones miss the opportunity. A golden
opportunity!!! It is high time for the unfortunate, lazy folks to wake up
from their slumber and see the Real Light in the form of a Sathguru. PeriyaaLwar
says that Lord Krishna dressed in pithaambaram (yellow dhoti) has come to
him in the form of a Sathguru. A Sathguru is a basic necessity of life.
Unfortunately people don�t realize this and are trapped in the net of
maaya (illusion). Actually people are close yet far away from Krishna.
They are close to Krishna as He resides in everyone�s heart. Krishna
Himself conveys this message in 15th chapter of Geetha, �Sarvasya
chaaham hrdhi sanniviSHTo mattah smritir gyanam apOhanam cha�. They are
far away from Krishna as maaya comes in the way and obstructs the path of
God Realization. But Sathgurus are not bound by maaya and hence they are
self realized souls. So only they can show the samsaris how to come out of
maaya. A
Sathguru is seated in the heart of his true devotees. He cleans His
devotees� heart through the Naamasankeerthana (Chanting of Krishna�s
names) mode. Thus a person is cleansed of all his sins by coming under the
shade of a Sathguru and naamasankeethanam. One
feels safe and secure after attaining a Sathguru. A new confidence and
inspiration is born. Fear gradually disappears. A rebirth takes place. We,
young disciples of Mahan Brahma Shree Gopalavallidasar certainly have got
a new lease of life after coming under His shade. |

ACHYUTHA PRIYAA
'short stories to regain your faith'
Radhekrishna!!!
Bagawan Sri Krishna desires that each and every jeevaathma should always
remain happy but the prarabdha karma (past sins) of the jeevaathmas
restrict them from experiencing the happiness. Prarabdha karma means the
karma one has left undone in the previous birth. This may sound
unbelievable or exaggerating!!! Only if we do bhakthi we can understand
this. We are tormented by the karma, which is left undone in the
previous birth. But bhagavath dhyanam and bhagavan naamasankeerthanam
has the power to destroy the torments of the undone karma. Harer
Nama Harer Nama Harer Naomaiva kevalam Meaning�. Sri
Hari Nama is the one and only way in this kaliyuga and there is no other
confirmed way other than this for salvation (Moksha). By
doing this Krishna Naamasankeerthanam our sins are destroyed. When the
sins are destroyed at that moment itself one could experience the
eternal happiness. There is no doubt in this. If you think its all a
blunder then its blunder!!! But this is a fact a true fact!!! Not a
single thing other than Bagawan Naamasankeerthanam can give happiness
and peace of mind!!! Such is the greatness of Bagawan Naamasankeerthanam.
One should have unconditional faith in Bagawan Naamasankeerthanam.
Generally the faith that common people have towards Bagawan is in such a
way that if their wish gets fulfilled then they believe Bagawan is
there. This is how the faith is!!!! There is no unconditional faith in
Bagawan!!! �Certainly Bagawan will do well for me�, everyone lacks
this faith!!! Even while praying to Bagawan for fulfillment of some work
we pray in such a way that, �If this work gets fulfilled properly then
I will put 100.Rs in the hundi or come to Thirupathi or perform some
other rituals etc�.� That means, �If the work is completed
properly then you are Bagawan then I will perform the rituals or put
money or come to your temple.� This is how we say!!! This kind of
partial faith is the only reason for sorrows in our lives. Life
itself is a belief!!! Even a small doubt makes our life sorrowful.
Bagawan Himself says in Bhagawath Geetha, �Samshayaathma Vinashyathi�,
those who doubt they will be destroyed. One should not have doubt
instead there should be firm faith. �I will win!! My Bagawan is with
me!!!� one should have this faith as Bagawan is the only one to save
everybody!!! Even if we are studious or in some good status or we are of
good health, who protects us at night when we are asleep? It is only
Bagawan who protects us!!! So Bagawan is the greatest of all!!! Hence
while praying we must say, �Krishna I am your child I don�t know
anything. I don�t know how I should be so that I can remain happy
forever. So Krishna You give me that happiness.� Each and every soul
yearns for this happiness only!!! Be it an educated person or an
illiterate one; rich or poor; female or male; everyone yearns for peace
and happiness. If one derives this complete happiness the next and
immediate thought they get is �Ah!!! Today I was very happy. Yesterday
I was very happy and so on���.� This is what we desire. We
don�t desire or try for any other thing. Eternal happiness is the
basic need of the human society! This eternal happiness is only with
Bagawan and one could get this happiness only at His divine feet!
Everyone has the right to get this happiness because for Bagawan
everybody is one and the same. Bagawan is never partial this is what the
mahathmas and even Bagawan Himself has said in Bagawath Geetha. But one
should totally surrender at His lotus feet. �Hey Krishna! I don�t
know anything. I am surrendering at your feet please save me!!!� this
is the simplest and easiest way, which all the great bhakthas and
mahathmas have said. We should totally accept that we are unfit, we
don�t know anything! But accepting onself as unfit is difficult for
everyone!!!!! The reason is everyone feels that �I know everything!�
But
actually what do we know? Does our health remain the same way always?
Does our mind remain constant always? So Bagawan is the only one who
does everything for us. We must do our duties properly but we should
have blind faith in Bagawan. Bagawan is the only one who can fulfill our
needs so He is called as �Akadithakanasamarthyam� which means that
whatever we need if its unreachable, Bagawan has the power to make the
thing reach us. Hence there is a temple for Him, poojas and other
rituals are performed. We all bow at His feet because whatever we are
incapable of doing He does it for us. We
don�t have the capability to bring a downpour but Bagawan has this
power; He can control the sea, the sun�
Only because of His resolution the whole universe is going on!!!
He can even change a sinful person into a great bhaktha. Our bhakthi
should be in such a way that He thinks about us; this is our only karma
(duty). Everyone is sinful, everyone is pure. Nobody can judge who is
nice and who is bad. The only thing is the percent of sins and pureness
differs from person to person. But everyone is a mixture of both this
sins and pureness. Everyone has Hiranyakashipu as well as Prahladh
inside them; everyone has Meera as well as Surpanaka inside them. Though
our life is miserable, unhappy, sorrowful, depressed; if we have
unconditional blind faith in Bagawan then He can transform this whole
negative life into a positive one!!! But we should have this faith
completely in Him. If we doubt Him our life will be utterly confusing!!!
Everyone believes that Bagawan saved Draupadhi, Meera, Dhruva�etc. But
will He come for me? This is the only question or confusion everyone
has. He
will come, He will surely come, He has to come but only when we chant
His naama continuously and have unconditional faith in Him. Will all
this happen in Kaliyuga? Yes!!! It is happening! Even today many of them
are practically experiencing Bagawan�s grace in their lives!!! Continuous
chnating and unconditional faith in Him will truly save us from
everything. A young boy had such a faith in Bagawan and His naama. To
know more about his blind faith and trust wait till the next issue!!!! |

'the power of divine grace'
Moreover
even a little delay in getting the bus from Kanyakumari would have put
us in a deep trouble. Further the waiter could have asked us all the
questions and informed us about Tsunami even during our lunch or before
that. But the mercy of Krishna is limitless. He knew that we would not
be able to have our lunch properly with a peace of mind if we were
informed about this disaster. So Krishna had delayed the waiter�s
questions till we finished our lunch and then made the waiter to inform
us about Tsunami. He cannot even tolerate if HIS children remain hungry.
See how loving and affectionate our Krishna is!
We
don�t know what namajapam, shraddhai, dhidam or Guru Dhyanam we had.
But today we are alive only because of our Guruji Mahan Brahma Shri
Gopalavallidasar. We know that HE would have prayed each second for the
safety and well being of HIS shishyan and shishyay and Krishna no doubt
paid heed to HIS prayers. Though our Guruji was away from us HIS
prayers, ashirwadham and sanctity was with us in each step of our
journey, which helped us to enjoy our trip and return home safely. This
is the power of having a sathguru. Our Guruji always says that we should
catch hold of a sathguru in same way as a baby monkey holds its mother.
The mother monkey very coolly keeps on jumping from one treetop to
another and from one branch to another. It is the responsibility of the
baby monkey to hold its mother firmly. If the baby loosens the grip then
it is going to be at a loss and face severe problem.
Same
is the case with the samsaris like us. It is the responsibility of the
samsaris to hold a sathguru firmly and surrender themselves totally at
HIS Lotus feet. If one does so then one can be like a kitten. What does
a kitten know? It remains in its own world unaware of the happenings in
the outside world. The mother cat looks after the kitten with extreme
care by feeding it in proper times and when it feels that the place is
no more safe for its kitten, it takes them to those places which would
give them more and extreme comfort and safety.
So
if we hold a sathguru just as a baby monkey catch hold of its mother,
sathguru would look after us just as a mother cat looks after her
kitten. In short we need not worry about anything. Our duty is just to
chant and enjoy our lives. Our sathguru would automatically take us to a
place, which would be safe and sound for us and would bless us with
divine happiness.
This
was what had happened with us. We don�t even know whether we were
sincere in our duty but our Guruji is an ocean of mercy. Even if we do a
very little namajapam HE gets extremely pleased and showers Krupay that
is thousand times more than the namajapam we do. Due to the only reason
we had surrendered ourselves at the Lotus Feet of our Guruji, HE
accepted us as HIS responsibility, remained with us, made up our minds
to leave Kanyakumari at the most appropriate time, lifted us up and
dropped us in Padhmanabha Puram palace and blessed us to have a very
nice time, feeded us with a full �fledged peaceful lunch, helped us to
reach Trivandrum very comfortably and safely and then made us realize
what a great Krupay Krishna had showered on us. An experience, which we
would remember till the last breath of our life. Even a few minutes
delay would have costed us our lives.
Even
today those who know that we were in Kanyakumari on the Tsunami day call
us Lucky couples. But infact we are the blessed couples. We are the
couples who have the blessings of a remarkable, incomparable, down to
earth, most merciful, kind, compassionate and the greatest sathguru
Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar.
Now each time I hear the word Tsunami what comes to my mind is Guru Krupay and the power of Krishna namasankeertanam.

Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar returned on May 13th from
Banglore. From the same day sathsang on Swami Ramanuja Vaibhavam took
place at a devotee�s place in Dombivli till May 19th. The
sathsangam on Swami Ramanujar was fantastic. Everyone wished to do guru
bhakthi like His sishyaas. On
May 16th, the Mumbai devotees celebrated Mahan Brahma Shri
Gopalavallidasar�s birth star in a grand manner. In the morning at
6.00 am some male disciples performed aayush homam for Mahan Brahma Shri
Gopalavallidasar. Everyone was eagerly waiting this special day. Special
bhajans took place at a devotee�s residence from 11.00 am to 1.00 pm.
Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar was welcomed in a very special way.
Just like a red carpet welcome flowers were spread on a cloth. Balloon
filled with rose petals was tied at the entrance. Big rangoli was drawn.
The house was colorfully decorated. All the bhakthas were eagerly
waiting for His arrival. As soon as He came everyone�s happiness knew
no bounds. Everyone was overjoyed and in that happiness nobody knew as
to what to do and what not!!!! When He entered the balloon was burst and
the petals fell on Him. Then all the devotees sang �Undhi Puththa
Uththamaney Vazhi�� All the devotees did paadha pujai and took
blessings at His divine Lotus feet. A big garland was put around His

same joyous memories of the morning; infact everyone wished that this
special day of merriment should never pass on. Click here and enjoy the
celebration!!! On
19th morning Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar�s
sathsangam took place at a devotee�s place. The sathsangam was about
Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu�s disciple Sreenivas. The sathsangam
was so touching that it really melted everyone�s heart. Sreenivas was
a great devotee of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu right from his
childhood. When he grew up he decided to meet Sri Krishna Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu. But unfortunately on his way he comes to know that Sri
Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has attained Bagawan�s Lotus feet. He
breaks down on hearing this. Likewise he had to face many odd
situations. Finally he goes to Navadweep at Sri Krishna Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu�s house to meet His wife Vishnupriya Devi. And this time he
succeeds!! Vishnupriya Devi asks him to be with Her. He does service for
Her. Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar was so happy while doing this
sathsangam as our Gurumaatha Shree Poojya Shree Amma was also arriving

Amma arrived on May 20th. The devotees were eagerly waiting
for this one more occasion. Some were busy in decorations, some others
in drawing big rangolis� As soon as Guruji Amma arrived the happiness
of the devotees reached the peak. All the devotees took blessings from
Guruji Amma. Guruji Amma�s sathsangam took place at various
devotees� place right from that day onwards. Amma�s sathsangam was
so soothing that everyone could feel the divine bliss. The Mumbai
