in eternal bliss in eternal bliss friday january 2 2009 happy new year 2009 a very peaceful blissful and divine new year step on its beautiful than beauteous peaceful than paradise truer than truth itself experience the radiance of 2009 wishing thou thy wishes for the best posted by meghna at 10 06 am no comments wednesday december 24 2008 provoking long time no show i thought my blog was missing me so i just paid a visit but then it really begged n pleaded me to leave footprints for it can remember until i come back again so i just thought why not this is dhanur masam and there is no pravachan neither any sat sang nor any kind of nama smarana that this soul is doing and the deham is so uselessly loitering around on this earth i wish my words my thoughts my emotions reach the destined place and i hope soon because waiting is a depressing sorrowful and painful action when i stretch my hands i feel heavens falling over me but the feeling disappears quickly because i only feel it not experience it i hope it happens soon the road to the lord is narrow long and full of hurdles i wish i can pass it n reach the destiny and i hope soon my longing i am afraid will not last long cause its not that powerful nor that deep neither that great but i wish it becomes pure and qualified for the gods to hear me and i hope soon i find myself always stressing on discrimination one of the first lessons in bhagavad gita i feel its the most difficult i should admit i can t tell whats good and bad whats correct whats wrong i have been struggling and i have become a mess now or have i messed it up its always question mark i pray we all reach the abode of the almighty one day merry christmas posted by meghna at 11 01 am no comments merry christmas a very very merry christmas posted by meghna at 10 17 am no comments sunday october 5 2008 just like that he is all pervading unchanging supreme being is the purest of the pure he is there in all hearts of holy men he inspires sacred words like preists at the altar he is dear like a guest in the household and manifests throughout the universal life forces the seas the earth and the mountains rig veda 4 40 5 india is rich with so may litreture works and vedas top all of them once in one of the lecture demonstrations the guru defined bharath as to brahma vidyam thasyam ramathey ithi bharath the treasure is so huge that one life is not in the least sufficient to learn them all then where is the question of practice many would preach to practice one and excel in that which will inturn lead to the same eternal bliss but if one feels so curious to learn all that is given in upnishads sutras vedhas bhagavad gita life of an ordinary man is not sufficient but our scared book bhagavad gita says in one of its chapters that bhakthi is the most profound path and the most easiest and the most effective god loves the soul which surrenders to him but again kali yugam also preaches that along with bhakthi there should also be gyana knowledge for every to soul to enlighten a guru is a must a guru might be any other soul or ones own soul ones own soul will be easy only through means of bhakthi where ones own soul becomes the god himself because most commonly the bhaktha would picture himself as the lover radha the gopikas are the best examples for bhakthi surrender in bhagavad gita there is one verse karpanyo dhoshaha pahatha svabhava prichyami thvam dhrama samkuta cheteha yescheye stha nischinta bruhi shisyaste shadhimam tvam prapanam this verse explains the complete surrender of arjuna to sri krishna a very beautiful verse which basially begins the gita gyana and bhakthi together brings a soul to the state of bliss enlightment posted by meghna at 11 02 am no comments friday september 12 2008 maya ravan modernized dance drama by shobhana a premier in bangalore for the 46th bengaloru ganesh utsav festival yesterday was shobhana s maya ravan where shobhana takes the role of kaykeyi in the start and then mayavi ravana it was held at aps college grounds and the grounds was filled with people all over expressions music narration by famous film industry persons visual effects was a beauty to watch and hear it first began with kaykeyi shobhana mantra laid by the spirit of ravana was a self made twist in the epic where kaykeyi gets influnced to send lord rama in excile for 14 yrs this spirit of ravana entering mantra inturn into kaykeyi took the audience aback during the seetha swayamvaram the very well known break the bow of lord shiva was absent rather only to lift and to shoot it was portrayed another drawback i should say in showcasing the great epic ramayana the designer costumes visuals effects and the music though with a lot of box office hits were the highlight the well publicized show and the famous actress could have been the reason for the mad rush one would have to search for bharatanatyam steps in the ballet a lot of odissi and mainly semi classical dance steps were showcased a good bold try on the stage in india i should say the dramatic dialogues all in english was a great asset few scenes were very emotional and effective like the sringar rasa of ravana towards seetha conversation between ravana and mandodhari and the description of ravana himself and his lonliness during the night he was to die but i would have appreciated if words such as you old donkey describing ravana by seetha would have not been employed the scene where hanuman chalisa was chanted by the vanaras was fabulous a very good thought were all the vanaras chanted it in their own style and voice i could find a lot of twists done to the epic by the writers of the play like hanuman had to introduce himself to rama rather that rama figuring it out by the chudamani hanuman wore and like the agni pariksha of seetha forced by lakshamana and not by rama the drama would have been well appreciated if movie songs were restrained from usage songs like narumgaye chinnamma chilamma parineeta s song i dont quite remember the title now and few old malayalam and tamil songs were used for bharatanatyam dance was inept mandodhari had a played her role very well and seetha suited to her character aptly the final war between rakshasas and vanaras was also very well choreographed though the death of ravana was not that very dramatic as was expected though i also guess this might have been purposefully underplayed infact selection of all characters has been regarded well and excellent sychronization on the whole maya ravana was an effort in bringing classical and semi classical together making it stand somewhere inbetween for review from chennai premier http www thehindu com mp 2007 07 09 stories 2007070950230500 htm can also see http www hinduonnet com

divya prabandham the nalayira divya prabandha or nalayira divya prabhandham is a collection of 4 000 verses naalayira in tamil means four thousand composed before 8th century ad by the 12 alvars and was compiled in its present form by nathamuni during the 9th 10th centuries the work is the beginning of the canonization of the 12 vaishnava poet saints and these hymns are still sung extensively even today the works were lost before they were collected and organized in the form of an anthology by nathamuni the prabandha sings the praise of narayana or vishnu and his many forms the alvars sung these songs at various sacred shrines these shrines are known as the divya desams in south india especially in tamil nadu the divya prabhandha is considered as equal to the vedas hence the epithet dravida veda citation needed in many temples srirangam for example the chanting of the divya prabhandham forms a major part of the daily service prominent among the 4 000 verses are the 1 100 verses known as the thiru vaaymozhi composed by nammalvar kaaril maaran sadagopan of thiruk kurugoor compilation these once thought of being lost were collected and organized in the form of an anthology by nathamuni nathamuni was born in veera naarayanapuram veeranam or present day kaattu mannaar koil there is a lot of gap in time between thirumangai alvar the last alvar and nathamuni in this dark period nobody knew what happened to the 4000 verses legend has it that once nathamuni heard some people reciting the decad of aaraavamude of nammaazhvaar at kumbakonam captivated by these paasurams he wanted to know more about them one of the verses also mentioned aayiraththul ippaththu tamil these 10 out of the 1000 when nathamuni enquired about the remaining 990 the people who sang the 10 did not know anything about the other verses but as the song mentioned the name and place of the alvar kurugoor satakopan nathamuni proceeded to thirukurugoor and asked the people there about swami nammazhwar s 1000 verses the people did not know the 1000 that nathamuni wanted but they told him about 11 pasurams of madhurakavi alvar who was the disciple of nammaazhvaar kanninun siruthaambu they asked him to go to thiruppuliaazhwar the place were nammaazhvaar lived and recite these 11 pasurams for 12000 times nathamuni did as advised and pleased with his penance nammaazhvaar granted him not only his 1000 pasurams but the entire 4000 parsurams of all the alvars details of pasurams the following table shows the details of the 4000 pasurams sl no name of the prabandham starting from ending with
