EVENTS OF THE MONTH APRIL 2010


SINGAPORE PROGRAM











Those who long for satsangham only know its value. Sometimes if satsangh is easily available its worth becomes unknown. Those living in foreign countries long for such satsangh as it is rare. Hence they get involved with great sincerity. This year Sri Hari Anna’s Bhaktha Vijaya pravachanam was held at Singapore Sivan temple, Geylang from April 5th to 11th. The first day was Aadi Shankara. Hari Anna said “ The society is dissected through caste, creed,, country, language, religion etc. How do we unite all people around the world? Howmuchever the difference may be the aatmaswaroopam is the same, be it an ant or Brahma. For the gnani who sees only the aathmaswaroopam everything is the same. Unity can be established only through Vedantha. The Second day was “ Purandaradas pravachanam. Here he said “ the Lord never forsakes his devotee. The Kite howmuchever high it flies has its string base in the hands of the person who flies it. Whenever there seems to be a whirlwind the person brings it back to his hands. Similarly when a devotee is to get caught in the whirlwind of maya the Lord pulls the strings back. Thus Purandaradas was engaged in earning money for a period of time but Panduranga brought him back to his feet. In Jayadevar charitram he said “ That house is Vaikunta where the Gruhastha and Gruhini together are engaged in devotion. The fruit of Gruhasthaasramam is BhagavathBhakthi. Jayadevar and Padmavathy completely lost themselves in the devotion of radhakrishna. On April 10th , the day of ekadesi the Divyanamam was conducted with grand festivity. That very day the pravachanam was “ Rukmangada charitram”. On April 11th “ Padmavathy kalyanam” sangeetha upanyasam was rendered by Smt.Vishakha Hari.
