i met my brother yesterday and he had a nice thing to tell. he was taking srisri in his car to thiruthangaal a divya desam near sivakasi. the temple car uthsavam was on that day. just as they reached the temple, the car was ready to start. the people were delighted to see srisri and invited him to do the pooja. the timing of srisri's arrival was so perfect that my brother and others were ecstatic. srisri also climbed the makeshift wooden steps to have darshan of perumal. after the darshan he came back. as he was half way down the steps my brother thought "if only i could help srisri coming down it will be a bagyam" the very next moment srisri caught hold of his hands and with his help came down two steps, then let go off his hands and walked down the rest of the steps on his own. my brother was shocked and delighted to his roots. is there a quicker and better way to satisfy a devotee.
flash news from brindavan says srisri anna had a great holi with the devotees. srisrianna enjoyed spraying holi powder and water on all the devotees. this time jaganmohan went in a small boat around in a small tank of water celebrating what we call here "theppothsavam". rasam also went very well. we will hear more news soon.

yesterday i was going on a distant trip in my car along with my mother. we were hearing srisri annas "nachiar thirumozhi" we both were enjoying the discourse and the travel was so pleasurable. at one point srisrianna was saying about a friend of Nachiar. this friend used to be very near to nachiar, she was her confident and nachiar would say all about her love only to her, the two were insepareable... so on , srisri continued keeping in suspense the identity of the friend. at that time we could hear the sweet sound of some birds in the background . after seconds srisri in his discourse said "her friend was the beautifull Parrot". myself and mom looked at each other and said at the same time "hey we heard the sound of a parrot even before srisri said it in upanyasam" we both were thrilled. the sound of the bird in the bakground was there for some time !!

on the way back we continued hearing the cassette. srisri was talking about nachiar's dream of marrying perumal. we were so absorbed in the discourse. at one point nachiar describes how she was holding perumals hand and they both put pori or puffed rice in the homam . the smoke that came out filled the place... at this point a dense cloud of smoke descended the car and we could not even see the road. though the car came out of it in seconds it took a long time for our heart to beat normal.

Archana Ravindrans message sent shivers in me. All we can say is Guru Krupa. All we can do is Guru Smaranam and Guru Krupa Smaranam. Our prayers also to the unfortunate few.
my family has gone to Brindavan with srisri. Today being ekadesi four of us friends thought we will have a small bajan. The songs that were randomly picked were ultimate ones and the bajan was so nice. 'Suhayathi Me Hrudhayam sukumaraha' took us all to Brindavan. Gurunatha you have given our heart so much joy. We are not able bear the joy. You are in Brindavan and when we think of you and sing your songs you pour your love from that land of love to us. 'Suhayathi me hruthaayam' We could proceed no longer after this song. Premikendra Sathgurunatha Maharaj Ki jai.

Day before yesterday i started on a sudden trip to chennai by train. The compartment was not crowded and in my bay there was no one. I was writing about Paranur and Bakthakolahalan. By the grace of srisri it was getting very interesting and i felt as if i was in sathsangh. One by one whatever i know about Paranur and Kolahalan came to my mind. there was no one to disturb me and no one to even ask me to switch off the light. I went on writing late into the night and felt as if i was in Paranur itself. Gurunatha you give sathsangh even if we are alone, you alone can do that.....

The sunday has started very nicely. SriSri is in pandari for the third day. He is leaving for delhi and Brindavan after that. Yesterday after india won the match against pakistan i had the urge to run to srisri and shout "anna india has won". I know i am mad but what i felt is true. how would anna react to that!
The Sunday started well with prabhodhanam. The Prabhodhanam songs of SriSri again and again reminds one of SriSri and Paranur. Maybe oneday i will try to write what thought each line of the prabhodhanam evokes. I also heard SriSri's Bagavatha Parayanam through cassette. The flow of words is like the flow of yamuna. Gurunatha thanks for giving a great sunday.
this being the night of shivarathri i thought i will log in and add something. SriSri Anna will be doing Abishekam to Pandarinathan and it is nice to sit here and visualize it. We were sitting and singing songs on Shiva including those written by srisri in my mother in laws house. My wife who entered the pooja room suddenly shouted "come here come here ", i ran inside and she showed me a picture of srisri doing abishekam. he was doing abishegam for a small pandarinathan and rukumayi. we were all thrilled and our hearts flew directly to pandari. the photo is there for a long time but only today we realised that the abishegam was for pandarinathan and not for krishnan as earlier assumed. Pandari Kshthra ki jai. Premikendra Sathgurunath maharaj ki Jai !!!!!
