hymns in praise of guru

(Tamil Paasuram of Sri Madhurakavi aazhwaar -KaNNinuN siRuththaambu)



Madhurakavi aazhwaar says in the above paasuram,
“After KaarimaRan (Swami Nammaazhwaar) saw me, my past sins have vanished and He has blessed me. I will highlight His greatness in all directions so that everyone comes to know about Him.”     

Madhurakavi aazhwaar dedicates this paasuram (divine verse) to Swami Nammaazhwaar, his Guru. Madhurakavi aazhwaar is the only Azhwar among the twelve Azhwars who has sung hymns in praise of his Guru only. Others have sung hymns in praise of Bagawan. To have such a Guru bhakti is amazing. To think of Guru as the Lord Himself is the ultimate feeling. Now you will think whether this feeling is correct or not.

One who is completely immersed in bhakti is able to see the Lord easily. Even if he goes to a temple, he doesn’t see the idol as a stone or some material thing. He considers the idol to be Bagawan Himself. In other words he actually sees the Bagawan in the idol.

But what about those people who haven’t attained such perfection? Mahathmas (great bhaktas) who fall in the first category can be easily counted. But the latter category consists of the samsaris (worldly people). If the samsaris are in a difficult situation, they immediately rush to the temple and cry before the Lord. But do they derive complete satisfaction? Everyone has an answer to this question.

But a Guru comes to know about the situation even before we convey it to Him. The soothing words from His lips are like a pot of water in a hot desert. Not only does a Guru gives us courage to face such a situation but the problem vanishes quickly. It doesn’t mean that if one attains a Guru, he never faces a problem. It is only that the problem and its consequences have no effect on him. So isn’t it right to say that Guru is equal to the Lord?

Human beings are immersed in the drainage of sins. Committing sins is habitual.It is the effect of the praarabhdha karma (bad deeds of past births). The wall of sins is difficult to break through. Even though some may want to break it in order to enjoy the real happiness, they hardly succeed. This is because it is beyond the power of a normal human being to break this barrier. Only a Sathguru can do that.

How can one say that a Guru removes all our sins? Before attaining a Sathguru, people are ignorant and are always searching for something. They don’t get complete happiness as the praarabhdha karma follows and haunts them. In its presence, real happiness can’t be obtained. But after attaining a Guru our life is filled with happiness. This is so because we become absolved of the sins. A Guru completely destroys a disciple’s sins.

Nobody in this world will take a harmful thing and give a precious thing in return except a Guru.

Such a grace can never be thought of. He not only takes away the past sins but prevents a disciple from committing sins in the future. For attaining a good state (punya), one has to do yagnyaas, charity, poojas,etc. But for the destruction of the sins- a graceful look of a Guru is enough. That is the power of His look. He bestows boundless happiness to His disciples. What can the disciples do in return? Every disciple tries to highlight his Guru’s grace to the world. There is nothing wrong in that.

That’s what exactly Madhurakavi aazhwaar did. Sri Madhurakavi aazhwaar realised this great secret by sincere devotion and selfless service to his guru Swami Nammaazhwaar. After attaining such a great Sathguru, Sri Madhurakavi aazhwaar was able to feel the difference in his life.  Yes! you can also realize this great secret by surrendering  yourself to the great spiritual master.

ACHYUTHA PRIYAA

short stories to regain your faith

Last month we saw a person who was trying to reach God in an unusual manner with eyes closed and holding his nose tightly. Mauji was eagerly waiting to get a glimpse of Bagawan. Will Bagawan answer to his blind faith? Bagawan is not at all interested in money, beauty, fame etc. He only expects true love and Sharanagathi (total surrender) from us.

 

The easiest way to attain Lord Krishna is sharanagathi (the complete surrender). This principle can be well explained with the help of a short story. Once Sri Paraasarabhattar, disciple of Swami Ramanujar stood in front of a hunter’s house. Seeing this hunter welcomed Him in a hospitable manner and provided with a cot to rest. The hunter seemed to be very happy. Sri Paraasarabhattar anxiously asked the reason for his happiness.

 

To that hunter replied, “Today when I went for hunting I aimed at a child rabbit, seeing that the mother rabbit came for its rescue. The mother rabbit was crying, continuously encircling my feet and begging for its child’s life. I was touched by the mother’s love and felt pity for it. So I let go the child rabbit. That is the reason for my happiness.”

 

Hearing this, tears rolled down from the eyes of Sri Paraasarabhattar. Seeing His tears the sishya named Nanjeeyar asked Him as to why He was crying. Sri Paraasarabhattar answered, “we were just standing in front of the hunter’s house for that he welcomed us and gave us comfort so shall not Bagawan help us and give us happiness if we pray to Him? Even a five sense animal knows that if I plead the hunter, he will set my child free then why can’t a six sense human being understand that if he completely surrenders with an unconditional faith, Bagawan will surely protect him.”

 

Life is a beautiful endowment given by Bagawan Sri Krishna!!! Our duty is to accept it and make the most of it. We can make the most of it only by doing bhakthi. Life is life only if we do bhakthi!! Bagawan Sri Krishna is the ocean of mercy; He never lets down the jeevathmas (souls) craving for Him.

 

Mauji, as said by the Brahmin was sitting in same position just to see and know that who is Bagawan and how does He look like!!!! Mauji very blindly believed the Brahmin’s words and didn’t even have a slight doubt in his words. This is the attitude one should have towards a sathguru. We must have an unconditional and blind faith on our sathguru. We do believe in God but if something happens against our wishes we are confused about His existence. But Mauji did not lose his hope. This is bhakthi!!! No matter whatever happens we must never lose our hopes and become pessimistic. Patience is the stepping stone to bhakthi!! We must have the strong and stubborn faith in Krishna!!!

 

Mauji’s mind was fully concentrated only in one thing i.e. to see Bagawan. He did not have any other thoughts. Mind is faster than wind. Even Lord Krishna has said in Bhagawath Geetha “among the organs I am the mind.” The one who wins the mind wins the world. We fail to control our mind and that becomes the reason for all our sorrows. The easiest way to win over our mind is to do Namajapam i.e. continuous chanting of Lord’s name.

 

It was dusk time. Mauji was stubborn and he did not give up. A stage came when Mauji was feeling hard to breath but still Bagawan Sri Krishna did not give His darshan. Seeing this we would come to a conclusion that Bagawan Sri Krishna does not have any sympathy. But sometimes Bagawan Sri Krishna plays these kinds of leelas just to test the patience and belief of His bhakthaas in Him. Bagawan Sri Krishna knows what to give, when to give and how to give. We must try our best, and leave the rest on Krishna!! Bagawan Sri Krishna’s incarnation is just to bless His dear souls with the shower of happiness, then how come He would let down His craving souls??? The more we wait for Bagawan Sri Krishna’s grace the more we are happy when He pours it on us.

 

Being overwhelmed by Mauji’s trust and determination, ultimately Bagawan Sri Krishna decided to give His darshan. With eyes closed Mauji saw someone. His face was so bright as if crores of sun was shining on His face. Seeing such a beautiful, divine, heavenly form, Mauji was astonished but couldn’t realize as to who it was!! By seeing the bagawan inside the heart Mauji drowned in the beauty of the bagawan. Actually after some time bagawan Sri Krishna stood in front of him. But mauji never recognized this. So bagawan Sri Krishna stopped the dharshan in his heart. Because of this Mauji suddenly opened his eyes in search of bagawan.

 

When he opened his eyes he saw the same image in front of him. Mauji had never seen such a divine ecstasy in his lifetime so he asked to the divine bliss which he was viewing, “who are you?” This itself shows Mauji’s innocence and childishness!! The divine bliss (Bagawan Sri Krishna) in a very sweet, melodious, pleasant and smooth voice, replied that “I am Krishna!!!” Instantly Mauji asked Krishna, “How do I believe that you are Bagawan Sri Krishna?”

 

Mauji was lucky and blessed enough to see Bagawan Sri Krishna even though he was not aware of it! But as he had never heard about HIM and never seen HIM before he was not sure. So he thought that only one person can help him and that is the Brahmin. Mauji asked Bagawan Sri Krishna to wait until he comes back. Saying this Mauji left in search of the Brahmin but suddenly he stopped. Some thought came in his mind and he returned back where the ocean of mercy (Bagawan Sri Krishna) was standing very innocently with a gentle smile on HIS face.

 

Why Mauji did go back to Krishna? What did he do? What made Mauji to take back his steps?

 

Eager to know? Wait till the next issue!!!!

HRUDHAYAANJALI

the power of divine grace

Radhekrishna!!! Jay Shree Poojya Shree Shree Amma ! ! ! Jay Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar! ! ! Ananthakoti pranams at the lotus feet of Guruji Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar. Guruji gave many divine experiences but let’s share one of the most divine experiences that make me feel the same enthusiasm and joy as it was on that day.

I was a typical college girl who used to chat with friends, watch movies, attend parties…. but never experienced a happy and peaceful life. I sometimes would think that what boring is this life, everyday we perform the same duties and there remains no enthusiasm in these works. Many a times I remain confused, this is what we call life? But then somehow managed to believe that this is only life. The one who made me to come out of the frustrated life and made me experience life in a beautiful way.

I started hearing sathsangs of Guruji where I could get the answers for all my queries. I used to get stun that whatever confusions or problems I had in my mind, Guruji used to tell the solutions for it. I used to question myself that how Guruji came to know what I am thinking? Then HE made me realize HIS power (the power of a sathguru). Through HIS sathsangs I came to know that sathguru could only give true happiness, which the soul needs. HE is even more superior to Bagawan.

The first thing that Guruji made me realize is, “ myself”. Truly speaking, Guruji was the only one who made me realize the bad qualities of mine that I myself was not aware, pride, ego and I’ ness. Really this alone could be said as an experience as it was the very first time I realized myself. The search for happiness ended only after attaining my Guruji. The divine experience that my Guruji gave was really an amazing one.

As usual, one day I went to meet Guruji and took blessings from HIM. But at the very same moment I could feel an unknown happiness, the happiness that I have never experienced before. Guruji asked me to chant more and more. I wanted to go to the college and so I left. All the way I could remember only my Guruji and that day “Radhekrishna” chanting just flowed from my mouth. I was wondering what’s happening? I was chanting in such an enthusiasm and how could the chanting come in such a flow. But it was Guruji’s Kripai(blessings). Oh great!!! I was enjoying to the fullest extent as I could feel the presence of Guruji with me at each and every step. The presence of my Guruji was making me so happy that “Radhekrishna” chanting followed it automatically.

Many people were walking beside me but I felt I am in a different but a secured world. I felt that Guruji was even more motivating my happiness and chanting. My happiness knew no bounds. All the way I thanked Guruji for giving me such an unknown happiness. The inner happiness was making me to blossom. People looked awkwardly as to why I was laughing alone but only my Guruji knew that happiness, I was not walking alone but along with HIS presence and chanting. That moment made me feel the power of Guru Dhyaanam. As soon as I neared the college a great miracle happened.


Suddenly I heard Guruji Amma’s voice very clearly and Guruji Amma was singing a line from HER bhajan. The line-“Kannannai Kanda Pinnum Kaanave Yedhum Ondho ( gurujiamma’s tamil Krishna bajan)” which meant “After seeing Bagawan Krishna, is there anything else to see in this world”. I was shocked for a second but I could truly realize that it was not an illusion as I could repeatedly hear the same line in Guruji Amma’s voice for about 4 to 5 times. I entered the college and was in the same hangover but anyhow managed to do the enquiry. After that I was wondering why this particular line? Guruji Amma made me realize that it was Guruji from whom I took blessings and yes, of course, “Gurur Saakshaath Parabrahmam”. I just thanked my Guruji Amma and Guruji wholeheartedly for giving me such a great experience. Guruji made me recognize the difference between the pleasure, which was so cheap, and the divine happiness given by HIM, which was so worthy.

So, all the souls who are eagerly waiting to enjoy permanent happiness come, attain and surrender yourselves at the lotus feet of Guruji Mahan Brahma Shri Gopalavallidasar and I can very surely say that everyone could get more and more divine experiences. Radhekrishna!!!!!
