KSHETRA FOR THE MONTH OF JAN, FEB 2020

NANDIPURAVINNAGARAM

There is apparently no difference between Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. Those who perceive differences and speak ill of the Lords only project their own jealousy. The devotees of Shiva who show prejudice against Vishnu and vice versa cannot please either of the Lords. Just as a man- takes duty as an officer in his office, as a father at home and as a pilgrim on a holy tour, the lord is one. He takes several roles, as a creator, sustainer and destroyer. As a creator He is known as Brahma. As one who protects the world He is called Vishnu and as the destroyer. He is known as Shiva. These are but roles of one and the same person. In order to show this to the world a divine sport took place at Kailasa.

Lord Shiva was discussing Brahma Vichara with the rishis at Kailasa. They started discussing the origin of the world and the person who was the sole reason behind the world. Just then Veda Vyasa entered the sadas.

He lifted both his hands and proclaimed “ I can tell with authority that the Vedas are the most authentic shastras and Lord Vishnu is the greatest of the Gods.” “ Narayana is Parabrahma.” Nandikeswara was angered by these words. He felt it was an insult to Lord Shiva. He hence paralysed the hands of Veda Vyasa. Shiva was inturn angered by the actions of Nandi. He said “ Everyone knows that Narayana is Parabrahma and I also accept this statement. You have committed a sin by unnecessarilily paralysing Vyasa’s hands. This only reflects your jealousy towards him. May you get out of Kailasa”. Vyasa pleaded with Shiva “ Nandi is your true devotee. Out of staunch devotion he has committed the same. He is Dharmaswarupa. Lord Vishnu resides in your heart and you reside in Vishnu’s heart. Those who do not know the essence of the shastras do not know this too. I beg you to forgive him and take him again to ypour feet.” Lord Shiva said “ Nandi, Go to Bhooloka, worship Lord Vishnu there and get relieved of your sin. You may then continue your service at Kailasa. Those who perceive differences between me and Vishnu are indeed traitors.

Thus Nandi came to a place near Kumbakona and cleansed himself of his sin by worshipping SriNatha at the banks of river Manimuktha. Hence this place came to be called Nandipuravinnagaram.

SRISRIANNA - AN INTRODUCTION

WELCOME TO THE GATEWAY OF A GLORIOUS TRADITION – THE PREMIKA SAMPRADAYA

SRISRIANNA – AN INTRODUCTION

SriKrishnapremi swamigal fondly called as SriAnna was born in Sanganallur, a small village in tamilnadu, India. Right from his early days he was a severe practioner of YogaSadhanas. This saint however wished to prove the world that the easiest way to attain the lotus feet of the Lord is nevertheless the path of Bhakthi. He revered SriBhagavanNama Bodendral as his Mansika Guru. He took to Srimad Bhagavatham as his pramana grantha [Authoritative treatise]. He founded a glorious sampradaya called PremikaSampradaya.[SriAnna is addressed as Premika].

SriBhakthaKolahalaKrishna is his Upasana deity. Paranur is a village near Villupuram. SriAnna built a wonderful temple for SriKolahalan in this small village. Thenceforth he started living there. He himself performed all the sevas to SriKolahalan right from Suprabhatham in the morning, the afternoon pooja, the evening rituals till dolothsavam in the night. Like SriThiyagaraja Swamigal who sang Utsava sampradaya keerthanas to his IshtaDaiva Lord Rama, SriAnna composed Uthsava krithis for the seva of SriKolahalan.[Suprabhatham to Dolothsavam]. Those Keerthanas are being sung till date during the pooja of the lord in Paranur. Besides this SriAnna has composed several Shathakas[A Shathaka consists of 100 Krithis] including 1. Raghava Shathakam 2. Radhika Shathakam 3. Yugala Shathakam 4. Govinda Shathakam 5. Ranga Shathakam etc. He has composed more than 1000 Krithis to date. It is definite that SriAnna visits Paranur every Ekadasi.There he follows `the Ekadasi Vratham in a strict manner, fasting, performing Abhishekam to Kolahalan, Pravachanam in the evening and Divyanama Sankeerthanam in the night. Gokulasthtami Utsavam is a grand affair in Paranur with 1000’s of devotees participating, Bhakthi overflowing through the streets. Navarathri Utsavam, Vasanthothsavam, SriRamanavami Utsavam, Keerthanavali utsavam, Thepothsavam are the othert festivals celebrated grandly at Paranur.

SriAnna has also established a VedaPatashala at Paranur. There is also a Goshala beautifully maintained by him. These have been established by a trust founded by him. The trust is named “SriKrishnapremi Swamigal Baghavatha Dharmam trust”. This trust is run exclusively by the efforts of SriAnna.

THE SPREAD OF BHAKTHI THROUGHOUT INDIA:

SriAnna wished to spread awareness about the importance of Bhakthi in the minds of the people of India. Hence he toured throughout the length and breadth of India from Kanyakumari to the Himalayas many times. He gave discourses on several topics in several cities including Srimad Bhagavatham, Srimad Ramayanam, Mahabharatham, Bhakthavijayam, Bhagavath Geetha, Azhwargal vaibhavam, Upanishads etc. He is an ocean of knowledge – a reservoir of wisdom. There is in fact no topic not dealt by him. He also founded and established an association called “Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangham” throughout India in several cities. The objectives of this institution are

Spread the awareness of “ The Greatness of the divine name – NamaPracharam”
To conduct Bhavatham, Ramayana discourses.
Renovation of DivyaDesa temples etc.

Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangam functions in Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Tirunelvelli, Madurai, Pondicherry etc.

OTHER ESTABLISHMENTS: {ASHRAMS}

PREMA MADHURI KUNJAM – BRINDAVANAM, MATHURA, UP

SriAnna holds Brindavanam very close to his hearts. Hence he built an Ashram called PremaMadhuriKunjam in RadhaNivas, Goranagar colony, Brindavanam. Here he built an exquisite temple for SriRadhaVamsidhara Krishna. Here too like paranur the rituals take place according to Premika Sampradaya [ Suprabhatham to Dolothsavam]. The main festivals celebrated here are Radhasthtami, Rasothsavam, Holy, and RadhaKalyanam. Every year SriAnna visits Brindavanam four times for these Uthsavams.

KOORATHAZWAR BHAJANASHRAMAM, ALAGAR KOVIL, MADURAI

This Ashram is at Alagar kovil, Madurai. This picturesque Ashram captivates the heart of every viewer. The natural beauty of this Ashram with the green mountains behind it and flowers of various hues is the apt place for meditating on the lotus feet of the lord. Every Chithra Pournami Lord Alagar comes to this Ashram to the delight of several devotees. SriAnna conducts a Sapthaham during this time. This Ashram is being goverened by Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangam, Madurai.

KRISHNASURI BHAJANASHRAMAM, MELKOTE

Melkote is a kshetram near Mysore, Karnataka. SwamiRamanauja retrieved the deity of this kshetram from the Delhi Badshah, after great efforts. Here again a beautiful ashram has been established. Chellapillai - as the deity is popularly known as, comes to this ashram in every July. This ashram is maintained by Akila Bharatha Sadhusangam Bangalore.

PANDURANGAN TEMPLE, THIRUCHANANALLUR

There lived a saint by name Krishnasuri in Thiruchanganallur [Chenganur]. It is he who is called Periyavachanpillai in tamil. He has commented on the entire 4000 Divyaprabhandhams. SriAnna incarnated in his vamsa. Periyavachanpillai had earlier constructed a temple for Lord Srinivasa. SriAnna too has built a small but beautiful temple for Pandurangan in this village. Besides this he has constructed a Mutt for PeriyavachanPillai. Periyavachanpillai too was born on a Avani Rohini incidentally SriAnna too was born on a AvaniRohini[Rohini star – Tamil month of Avani]. Hence on that day there is a procession of Periyavachanpillai to that Mutt built by SriAnna. Also every year it is routine that on January 26^th the KalyanaUtsavam of LordSrinivas and Panduranga are conducted.

SRISRIANNA’S WORKS:

SriAnna has written innumerable works in Sanskrit. To my knowledge after Valmiki and Vyasa he is the only person to write 40,000 slokas. Some of the important works are SriVaishnavaSamhita, Divyadesa Vaibhavam, Brindavana Mahatmiyam etc.He also has written works in various languages such as tamil, telgu, marati and the like. He also runs a monthly tamil magazine called BagavathaDharmam.

BRAHMASABHA:

SriAnna established an association called Bramhasabha to spread BagavathaDharmam throughtout the whole world. Bhajans, Parayans, Pravachans etc are being conducted at USA, Dubai etc by Bramhasabha members.
